Hi,

I am expecting delivery of my NC10 in a few days and have downloaded all .rar files from RS.

I am a noob at this so would like to know how to create the iso from all of these files and burn to a dvd.

I have an external drive and also am awaiting delivery of the Dell 1490 wifi card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

I would reccomend winrar or 7zip, and burn with dvd decrypter.

Regarding resolution problems, I've found two apps which help to different degrees

Artguiscale - http://theape.biz/ automates what mysticus wrote about. It's a widget. But any pixel/drawn elements in the desktop will mess up

Much more useful is Megazoomer. http://ianhenderson.org/megazoomer.html. This allows you to zoom any app full screen. Since the button is usually only a little off-screen this is mostly a good solution. Better than presentmyapps since it appears as an option under 'window' in the menu bar

Hope those help

Question: Does anyone have a link to the beta trackpad drivers mentioned by Mysticus? Couldn't find a working link in the thread on insanelymac

Another question: Is there a way to speed up the brightness hack? It takes 8 or so seconds for the scripts to execute each time I want to notch the brightness up a bit

I bet you have something wrong with your setup, 'cause it should take around 1,5-2 seconds to adjust the screen brightness with Quicksilver's triggers. Within this time icon is quickly displayed on the screen and straight after that the brightness changes (+/-).

How about if you run the scripts directly in Terminal, is it any faster?

[borelli]

Thanks. I don't know how to use terminal.

I have it set up in quicksilver exactly as described, simply as triggers, and it does work fine, just takes ages. To be fair sometimes it's 5 seconds, but it's still sluggish. Tried in Butler too. Same

Ooh, I can't wait to try the resize/zoom feature, great find, guys!

For those who didn't try it yet: I installed the ClamShell.kext and it works great when on battery mode - as soon as I close the lid, it goes right to sleep. Opening the NC10 does nothing - I have to press the power button to resume.

However, when I plug in the AC adapter and the lid is closed, the NC10 goes into an endless sleep-resume loop. It only stops when I either unplug the AC adapter or open the lid.

Since I'd like to charge my NC10 when the lid is closed, it looks like ClamShell.kext will be removed until someone can figure that out.

On a side note, any luck on the internal mic? I feel we're so close to having a near-perfect Hackintosh on the NC10 (I've got a Dell 1390 for Wi-Fi). The internal LAN I can do without for now, but I'd still like it. After all, the MacBook Air doesn't have an internal LAN either.

Perhaps there's a really tiny USB mic that looks like a little stub, kinda like some really tiny Bluetooth adapters I've seen. ?

brightness triggers runs slow when you run them very first time, after it is run the first couple of times, it becomes smooth and fast, due to cold start and startup up background processes first run is slow...

[borelli]

Must be something strange then because I've been setup with OSX (running otherwise smoothly) for over a month now and brightness hasn't improved in speed. It's a minor niggle anyway.

Hey guys,

I haven't been posting a lot, but I'm reading the thread every day.

I stumbled upon an installation problem yesterday which I haven't been able to resolve since. And this is my 25th or so install - all others worked perfectly.

Hardware:
Stock German NC10, stock WiFi (don't need airport... yet), 2GB

Situation:
3 Partitions - 1. Vista, 2. OSX, 3. Data (fat32)

Install Source:
Complete 10.5.6 ISO from shragle, installed from a bootable USB-Stick, MD5 checks out

Process:
-So I start the installation onto the second partition (primary, no letter assigned in Vista)
-Full installation runs smoothly
-after installation finishes and nc10 restarts i get a blank screen that says:
"boot1: error"

I've checked the dirve in Gparted - all partitions are well and intact.

I've searched the forum and web as good as i could, but didn't find zilch.

I'll keep looking, but maybe on eof you has a quick 'n dirty answer for me.

25 installs... Not all on the same machine I presume!?

No, of course not!

Five or so (and the current, too) were for a pal.

have you tried f4 menu? and back to normal system?

[jdenbrok]

If F4 doesnt work, use gparted to "flag" your windows xp disk as "boot". Then it works.

Does this version support DSDT?

If not, could I install this (http://######.com/weaksauce12/?p=309), or would it screw up my installation (have it in dual boot with windows 7).

Also, looked at this driver for the display (since the included one doesn't support mirroring?) (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=143340&view=findpost&p=1042759) would it work with the sammy?

currect iso doesnt have dsdt support but you can get dsdt easy anyway, also you can use the pcwiz tools for installing for much easier solution...

for the display driver, i included older version with the mirror function in the nc10 files section, just check...

[The Thinker]

I have noticed that if I don't use Leopard for several minutes, (more or less 9 minutes, 'cause my screen saver starts at 10 minutes) running with power adapter, (I don't know if in battery mode the same problem occurs, not tried yet), when I come back I can move only the mouse and all the rest is blocked. I tried to press/hold down power button but nothing change, so I have to shutdown the system pressing power button down for several seconds and it is frustrating and dangerous.
How can we fix this bug?

Thanks in advance!

mysticus,

is this the version of the 950 GMA driver you are using from this thread?

950GMA Mirror Driver

All the best

I have tried all the obvious fixes, even if they're actually meant to fix other problems. Recovery with F4 does nothing, wiping the partition and reinstalling does nothing. If I set the VISTA (not XP, guys) partition back to active, it boots with no problems. Also I think (but am not sure) that Vista doesn't have a boot.ini anymore.

I'm kinda stumped here. Anyone multibooting OSx86 with Vista or W7 around here? Cause I don't know if it's an NC10 issue, or something general.

i dont know really what is causing the issue, but i will check a standalone osx to be run to see what it will bring...

For those who split their hard drive between Windows XP and Mac OS X:

Has anyone noticed that the time is off immediately upon bootup of the other operating system? I'm usually off by five hours, so I have to resort to syncing with time.apple.com and time.windows.com, but that leaves the first few minutes of the boot up a bit off, and that may throw off alarms, reminders, and other things before it corrects the time (if I happen to be connected to the Internet at that moment, too).
