OS X on the MSI Wind, Before it's Released Rating Options

[alucard_xs]

Thanks Kamikaze, I upgrade from 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 without changing my graphic drivers (akoya -> GMA950) and it works great, does your driver post above is different from the one released months ago ?

[U.C.]

These drivers are amazing Kamikaze. I get Clone Displays and I dont need Natit. Sweeet

I tried this new kext with MSIWindowsx.iso ( not installed 10.5.5 ) with original 10.5.4 and my WIND U100 finally works with MIRROR MODE....

Perfect...

Soon WLAN Realtek 8187SE from Realtek support and a new full FIX AUDIO from Stellarola will do WIND U100 compatible at 100% with MACOSX ....

Hi kamikaze!

I am a newbie in this forum. I am a student in a small country.
I have an MSI Wind installed with MSIWindOSX distro and it worked fine.
The drawbacks are... I can not use Wifi (I don't want to swap my wifi card since it will void my warranty), and can not use OSX for my presentations because it can not support mirroring (how i would love to use it to dazzle my teachers with Keynote presentation ), so i still dual boot with Winblows.
The other drawbacks, i mean no sound from earphone & microphone, is not particularly an issue for me.

Can you give me directions (preferably links... ) to upgrade my MSIWindOSX distro to Leo 10.5.5 so I can use my Wind for my presentations? Or should I do a clean install from the start with Kalyway 10.5.2?

How can i use your uploaded file?
How can i rebuild the ext cache?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance...

There are many topics in this forum regarding upgrading to 10.5.5, the wind is no different that any other laptop. It's actually better, it supports the vanilla kernel and most of the vanilla kext.

To upgrade just follow this guide and reinstall the patched kext -> video, audio, ps2

Cheers,

For those running 10.5.5, I am sure you will enjoy a fully working GMA950 driver

packaged from this forum and confirmed to work on a wind

Enjoy !!!

PS: You may have to rebuild the ext cache...

So with new GMA drivers and upcoming HDA drivers, only thing's missing is two-finger scrolling

I still can't decide. One of these as a toy, or a way too powerful desktop!

Easy.U just answered on urself.This is a must have toy if u got the powerful desktop macnized...

Two finger scrolling also already works on laptops with the Synaptics touchpad.

Another problem:
Btw, this is an install via the retail leopard dvd.

I am trying to use the ACPIBattery.kext from here as it is suppose to be used with vanilla ACPI and displays accurate info. But when I do install it with the default AppleACPIPlatform.kext from either (10.5.4/10.5.1) I lose keyboard and mouse. When I put back the modified AppleACPIPlatform.kext that gives me keyboard and mouse I then lose the battery icon!

I can reinstalled the PowerManagement_bundle_powermanagement as found on the 10.5.2 kalyway dvd which installs the bundle as well as the AppleACPIPlatform.kext which restores keyboard and mouse. I do see the battery icon but when I click the icon I don't see a time remaining only "Calculating...remaining" until next reboot. ACPIBattery.kext is loaded but no time remaining is displayed.

Any help here would be certainly appreciated.
Thanks

question.
With the retail installation have u found the webcam working out of the box ? I'm going to install with retail seen I just got one msiwindosx86.iso installation done ; I got only the original 10.5.0 retail dvd.

[Edit] ok.No prob.with the 10.5.5 the webcamera is working well.

No one knows, if you want to try there is a thread on how to patch AppleHDA.kext

For now you can use a bluetooth headset or a usb 3d sound plug.

Personally I am happy with the internal speaker.

kamikaze thx you)
Tell me please how did you installed Leopard Retail )))

[chinasky]

bluetooth and webcam both work out of the box -> assuming you have the correct firmware and pressed the Blue Fn keys to activate them.

kamikaze thx you)

It's called DFE boot 123, there are many topics on the subject.

Worst case there is an ISO of the big carsair boat for osx+wind

Thanks kamikaze for ur well done job !

[sidha]

Please someone test the rosetta. I have some ppc only app (Adobe cs1, etc) and like to know how perform an atom under rosetta emulation... Oh, and i have 2-3000 fonts too.

Thanks for help.

[TBCdevil]

isdha, if u wish to use CS1 in all it's glory it's best to go for at least a core duo processor.
The whole atom story will never fulfill your wishes, even the screen size is to small for any decent editing.

The MSI wind is a pure communication device no more, for me that is.


Best of luck with your choice.
