Zheka009 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi all, i've been reading the forum for a while, but this is my first post. First of all, great guide, it cleared up many doubts i had. I'm not new to installing operation systems other than Windblows...(lots of linux distros...) and don't get freaked out easily just cos i have to open a terminal LOL .... Anyway...Mac OS X is totally new to me, and although it is very linux like, it has some different folder structures, etc...so i'm just starting to learn.... I followed instructions here and got kalyway 10.5.2 installed on my asus laptop. (What a beautiful OS!). It's an F3T with a turion x2, 2gb of ram and a go7600. Nforce chipset, 6100 i think. It installs fine, and even runs on 2 cores. (at least it says on hardware info and geekbench score pretty much confirms it), Geekbench score is higher than in XP . The problem are the usb ports and sound (it has a ALC660). Card reader and integrated cam don't work but are less of an issue and maybe it can be fixed too. I still haven't tried to solve the sound problem, i'll try to follow the instructions and see if i can get it to work. But i tried to make usb work (usb mouse works if i start the laptop with the mouse pluged in) and I couldn't. I replaced the wrong version kext that dindt match the kernel, i reinstalled and ticked out PCGenUSB...but no luck. I always installed with sleep kernel and AMD patch1. Anyone here with an F3T or similar chipset has got these things to work?. I guess my laptop is sort of compatible; It installs and runs fine. I downloaded iDeneb 1.3 and will burn it and try that one also...do you think i've got more chances with that one?. Right now i'm back on xp. I created a separate partition so I can install it there. To enable dual boot what i got to do is set the Mac OS partition active and then install it there?. Thanks! Hi! I have Asus F3Tc notebook. USB problem I solved with PCGenUSBEHCI.kext It makes USB 2.0 work but disables USB 1.1 So I got USB 2.0 hub and plug mouse to it. It works this way. Also you can get USB working by disabling USB 2.0 interface in BIOS - Interface Security. But you'll get USB 1.1 speed. As for sound: I use Apple Azalia kext and it works. As for sound lags during playback I think it's a wrong timing problem or something about this. I can see it even during Mac OS installation. Progress bar and mouse cursor often stop until I drug the mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest undefined Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I seem to get a problem with sleep. When Bluetooth is enabled and I try to make my Asus go sleep, it sleeps and instantly wakes up. It's all fine after it wakes up then, and I can normally sleep afterwards. Anybody got the same thing? Know any solutions? Oh, and BTW, after installing new wireless card I have absolutely fully functioning OS X machine. Well, except camera, but I don't really use it.

I could never use sleep yet! What kernel / os version are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest undefined Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm using 10.5.6 with vanilla kernel, the trick is pcefi v9 or newest chameleon with dsdt patching.

Find it here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683 If I understand right, I have to install newest chameleon with the installer program, then overwrite the /boot file with the pciefi v9? After that I have to copy the dsdt created file in the root dir? I have Kalyway 10.5.2 originally installed. Thanks! --EDIT: It worked! Step 1: install chameleon Step 2: overwrite /boot file with pcefi9 Step 3: generate dsdt.aml Step 4: copy dsdt.aml to / And now my Asus can SLEEP with OSX. Yeah! THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest undefined Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'm glad I helped but fix your signature, it says: "Sleep function WORKS (with Chameleon+PCEFI9+DSDT patcher)!!!" and you cant' use chameleon with pcefi, so get rid of pcefi :censored2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new, fixed ALC660 kexts I have working everything, but if there is not any audio for about a minute, the sound card switches off or something.. i think this because when there is any sound after the 1 min silence, it begins with a very loud 'click' on the speakers. Can I fix this somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Ricoh card reader? Webcam isn't really needed, just a question of pride in having a fully operational Battle Station.. ups, I mean OSX System.

chewanik Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hello everyone, I've got an Asus F3SV-B1 which will not sleep. I've tried Slice's USB fixes, DSDT patching, Superhai's EHCI fix,using SmartSleep to modify the sleep states, etc...(following various methods in this thread) but no luck. If I remove IOUSBFamily.kext then I can sleep and hibernate no problem, so I know it is related to USB. For those of you who have it working, can you provide a step by step guide of what you did, listing all the kexts/files that you installed/modified? I must be missing something... Thank you, and thanks to all those who contribute to this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjduro Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah that's true, they say that snow leopard will have new framebuffer, so there's a little chance to get it working The best thing would be to get a working solution now. Later on, with SL, you'd have a lot more chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensei Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Dear All, I know that probably I will be kicked of this thread immediaetely but I am completely newbie and don't know where to ask, so forgive me I have Asus F2JE (unfortunately not F3) laptop and could not find any tips on how to get Leopard work on my machine I tried to install iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5 and iPC 10.5.6 checking in the installer my configuration (ICHX, ATI X1000 series, etc.) but after instalation the computer keeps rebooting every few seconds (-v is useles; I can see some lines flying but I cannot read so fast ). I am not an expert in computers so I don't know where to start with There is no guide on how to make Leopard working on the very machine... Could you help me how to start? Which fixes to check during instalation make it work? I read all the guides available and was trying to follow them step-by-step choosing only the hardware I have...but without success...finaly...everybody was a newbie...some time ago Thank you in advance! Kensei I googled one guy who did make Leo work on F2J, but the site is in....chinese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidass Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 boot with cpus=1 flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensei Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thank you! I works at least partially... I can see Lepard system finally.. I had to use Natit as my card is ATI X1450 and when I marked patch for X100 series it didn't work. What is strange is wi-fi. I have Intel Pro 3945. When i used some console utility to check if it's workin I could easily detect my home wifi network, however the tool was not equiped with any configuration part and as I am using fix IPs I could not connect. Of course Airport could not see the device As I understand to have Lor run on two cores I would need special BIOS right? Thanks! Kensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidass Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 you can use dsdt patching, it's described here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=144639 ( E. [patch your DSDT] ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucsoo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Does someone know, that how can I set what my laptop should wake up for? It now wakes up from sleep when I press a button or move the mouse. How can I set to wake up only for pressing the power button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjduro Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 according to Asus, the F2J model has: Mobility™ Radeon® X1600 - 128 MB built-in Bluetooth® V2.0+EDR Intel Core Duo T2300E 1,6GHz processor, 667 MHz FSB 1024MB (2x512) DDR2 RAM Mobile Intel® 945 PM Express Chipset Intel High Definition audio modem and 10/100 Base T I don't know which sound codec it is equiped with. So, it should work without major problems with one of the patched DVDs. try, when installing, to choose the voodoo kernel, Intel IChx chipset, no sound and no video drivers. Boot with options: -v -f cpu=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
