Are you saying that the brightness scripts still work for you, even after you sent the NC10 to sleep and woke it up again?

Jay Zee-
That is what I'm saying (just did it to double check). To be sure, I don't keep Quicksilver running in the background, however. I just run the script, lower my brightness, and then turn Quicksilver off. But even then, after lowering my brightness, I can go to sleep, wake it back up, and the brightness is still at the lowered setting I left it at.

And, just in case I'm reading your question another way: The Quicksilver script also works when I make adjustments after waking from sleep (but again, I wake computer, I run Quicksilver, alter brightness, then quit Quicksilver).

I realize that you may keep Quicksilver running all of the time, so I don't know if what I'm talking about here applies to the issue you are finding.

Hi Mysticus,

I have found this package http://soleilblog.hp.infoseek.co.jp/2finger/2finger-wind.pkg in a chinese forum which enables scrolling on msiwind in mac.

i tried to install it onto nc10 it works in some way but obviously not very accurate.

I am no expert so i just want to share this information to see if it helps to develop a package for nc10 users.

i might have been brave, but i am not sure how i can "uninstall" this package .

thanks.

Edit: setting Library\Preferences\com.apple.driver.PS2Trackpad.plist "ZAcceptThreshold" value to 70 makes it better on nc10.

I did this with another Distri

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...2+finger+scroll and it works.
I did not tested it with this special NC10 Distri.

After installing the package the mouse accuracy is not good enough so i revert back to the old trackpad.
thanks.

3. WLAN
I spent way too many hours trying to get the stock WLAN card to work. Using the hints from many forums on the web I managed to get it working several times using a hacked Atheros kext and KisMAC to set the card into passive mode. In the end, however, this turned out to be more frustrating than anything else because it wouldn't work reliably. So I bought a random BCM4311-based card (checked eBay) and it worked out of the box. No need to mention that this got rid of the setup loop problem, too (see above).

To run the BCM4311 under XP I found this site and chose the latest driver package, installed it using the device manager and it just works.

THANK YOU! The link to the Broadcom driver you provided finally got my Dell DW1490 working on Windows XP. Just click the link above, download the most recent driver (at the top of the list), unzip it, and point your Add Hardware Wizard to the folder location. Done. Whew!

I don't know if this has been covered, but before I install OSX using Mysticus' technique, is there any way to resize my 160gb HD partitions? When I first got the NC10, I set up the C: partition as 120gb, there is 30gb left unallocated (for Mac OSX) and the rest is recovery volume. Is there anyway to shrink up the 120gb partition and add the space to the future Mac partition?

Thanks!

Partition managers like Partition magic will do the job. I have to use it because the XP util can't format FAT32 for the D: ddmac setup
Only choice I had was NTFS
With PM I do the FAT32 formatting.

Try the link benir posted. It can never be wrong to use the latest one.

Hi,

I sued the link posted above and it seems to work.
Everything is in german now. But if if click on Finder -> Preferences (in german "Einstellungen") than the finder crashes and reloads.
Do not know if this has something to do with the language but what can I do to solve this?

edit:

if I change the language to english everything works. I can go to the preferences, no crash.

Hm, maybe you used a too old german.pkg file. Are you running 10.5.6?
Is your system completely up to date? Try by using "Softwareaktualisierung".

You should also repair permissions.

Please post if it worked.

[SilSha]

Hi,

yes I am on 10.5.6 and all software is up to date.
Repairing permissions does not work

How can I see if my Language file is to old?
The file I used was for Leo. The link was posted above (a page before or so)

you're welcome glad my post actually helped someone. Yeah, the DW1490's actually have a BCM4311 -- I should've mentioned that in the post.

On your partitioning problem: use partition magic or the free parted magic

Good luck and happy hacking,

Has anyone had any luck using iMovie with an AVCHD cam corder?

I was looking at this patch, but want to know if it'll work before I dive right in...!

it seems the file is too old...
i took this one and it was working fine.. even trackpad menu was on the right place (but without function, if you dont install the trackpadfull.pkg)

[SilSha]

this is the same file I used.
I checked it with an MD5 Hash

Normally, the language package isn't responsible for the trackpad-prefpane. If trackpadprefpane isn't in place, it's because the vendor id wasn't deleted in the package of the prefpane. It's no matter of the language. The only issue you could have had was at 10.5.5 if you had the german.pkg installed and active, you've not been able to open trackpad settings. You had to switch to english before you've been able to open the settings. But that was the old Keyboard & Mouse prefpane. Now there is a stand-alone prefpane wich has to be modified before it shows up. Otherwise you won't be able to ad it to system preferences. Again, that's no matter of language, it's because of the vendor ID inside the prefpane.

SilSha, try another german.pkg. I've used the german.pkg from an original leo dvd and it works without any problems.

Hi,
it is strange that the german package does not work for you!
I´ve used it with the 10.5.6 from mysticus, and now i have a full german osx!

@-benir & SilSha: Did you install the german.pkg BEFORE updating your system or after that?
Please both explain your way of installation, for eg did you first create a 10.5.6 iso file or did you install the 10.5.4 original package and updated step by step to 10.5.6?
Maybe this makes the difference...

I can tell, I've installed the original JaS 10.5.4, installed the german.pkg and updated step by step to 10.5.4.

[SilSha]

I have used the iso from mysticus.
After installing the ISO I am on 10.5.6 end everything works.
Than I updated some software with the integrated updater. (updated Java/iTunes etc.)
Than I installed the german.pkg.

[G4-Flo]

Ok,

maybe you should try to re-install your system or re-install by going the old way that worked fine for me using the JaS 10.5.4 and the first NC10 Package from Mysticus and perform a step-by-step update to 10.5.6.

You can also post your console-logs here, maybe someone can read out of it the failure.

Otherwise try the method of creating a new user-account mit admin rights and see if the issue still occurs.
