Samsung NC10 UK revision, Updates / Installation / Modding etc, stuff will be here Options

Yeah, but then you go into the Trackpad panel, and you lower the "Tracking Speed".........

And it doesn't fix the speed problem...

Check yourself.

I might have missunderstood your question, but when i install the trackpad pref panel, the pointer goes smooth and fine, or is it only working for me?

It does work for me too, meaning it is usable. But even when I set the tracking speed to the minimum the vertical speed is still faster than the horizontal speed.

Also I wish there was a working trackpad driver with 2-finger scrolling and fixed-speed for the NC10 trackpad. I wonder what the model of the new big trackpad on the NC10 limited edition is (that should be available on amazon soon), and if there is a driver for that one.

[pierrandre]

Nope, it just enables the trackpad panel, but it doesn't fix that problem for me neither...

I'm pleased to see that I'm not the onlt one to mention it !!!

vertical speed is EVER twice as fast (x2 at least) as the horizontal speed

even at the lowest speed available (which obviously is way too slow horizontaly)...

Complaints complaints complaints.


Look two problems
track pad is PS2... Not USB.. there are innate problems to that I don't want to go into.
Major factor. Not sure if you guys noticed but the trackpad is wide.... All apple track pads are square or close to. There is just an innate problem with that as well. Don't expect this to ever work right. Cause it wont. Scrolling support may be an option in the future, but for now. No can do. at least not perfect anyway

Buy a small wireless mouse or laptop mouse and just deal.

Now... on to more pressing questions.

I havent had much experience with SD cards. Mysticus had me set up a second partition to have as a backup incase stuff went sour. Would rather back up the drive to say a 16gb SDHC card. yes i know it is slow 15 mb/s max. I wouldnt be running from it. I noticed that when you put an SD card in that it sticks out (reason probably being that makes it easier to pull it out). Anybody know how much of the card is memory and how much is extra plastic say in an ordinary sdhc card. Would love to sand down a 16gb one so that it is flush with front of computer.

hey guys, i just got back...

and didnt read a lot since i left... will try to answer some questions later if not answered...

for the ps2 touchpad, not much can be done, apple touchpads like adam mentioned, are almost 1:1, whereas nc10 has ~1:2 ratio, which is the trouble some of you mentioning...

there is not a propar OTB solution for this, and it is not really that much of a trouble to begin with either... so most people complain about things that we cant do much about... cosmetic issues will be there no matter what...

for the sleep issue, i will provide stuart the info i got, and see how testing will go...

cheers...

[cedbh]

I don't complain, just mentioning the problem...

I don't remember reading anything about the internal mic: any hope to see it work in the future?
Same question for Ethernet?

Thx again.

Internal mic should work with the voodoo HDA whenever it comes out.
Sleep issue is a DSDT thing which is being worked on too.

All quiet on the NC10 front.

Anyone looking for the perfect NC10 mouse, get a Logitech VX Nano. The receiver is tiny - you can leave it in all the time. It's the slickest mouse I've ever used (install Steermouse for it). The trackpad is bad even in Windows on this thing.

Since getting my NC10 set up, I don't touch my macbook pro anymore. Apart from heavy encoding and video work, this plus the VX Nano is pure portable bliss!

It's not about complaining, it is about sharing the problems to figure out if others ran into it and have solutions and work arounds. This thread is an amazing source and I really appreciate the help from everybody (and of course Mysticus C being number 1).

A PS2 driver could handle different size ratios, but apparently since Apple doesn't have a need for it, they haven't coded the option.

An external mouse is great when you're on a desk, not so convenient when you're in the train holding the NC10 on your laps.

Does anybody know the brand and model of the trackpad of the NC10 Special Edition?

[crobs808]

I REALLY need help and let me first say I am SO sorry for hijacking this thread, but no matter what I do I cannot make a NewTopic in the hardware forum! Something is wrong with the site...I have tried in Firefox and Iexplore and STILL get that error "You must enter a post" as if I never type anything.

Ok, here' s my topic - I am building a Quad Xeon Hackintosh. I pasted the info from Apple's site for their current MacPro, and then the list of hardware I am buying. How does this look?...

===

From Apple's Site...Mac Pro (8 cores standard, up to 3.2 GHz)
-Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Harpertown" processors
-2GB memory (800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC)
-ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics with 256MB memory
-320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive1
-16x double-layer SuperDrive

===
So, here's my custom parts list...

-MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z7S = $480 @ newegg

-CPU: Intel Quad Xeon E5420 - BX80574E5420A = $330 @ newegg (QTY = 2)

-MEMORY: OCZ Platinum Rev2 PC-6400 DDR2 800 (1GB) - OCZ2P800R21G = $23 @ amazon (QTY = 4)
Do I need EEC instead?

-VIDEO: ATI Radeon HD 3870X2 (1GB) = $275 @ tigerdirect
I heard that MacOSX OSx86 will only recognize 256mb...?

-AUDIO: (on board)

-OPTICAL: 20x Pioneer DVR-116D = $70 @ amazon

-WIRELESS: MA688ZM ???
What will work in both MacOSX OSx86 (show up as "Airport") and work in Windows?

===

I will primarily be using this computer for HD video editing on Premiere Pro when booted into Windows and HD video editing in Final Cut Pro when booted into MacOSX, so a lot of rendering. I will NOT be playing games on it at all, but I will be using it also for a webserver and mail server for my personal domains. NOt a ton of traffic, but enough to be left on 24/7 and also why I am going with Xeon CPUs on a 771 socket mobo rather than Core2Quad on a 775 socket.

So, will this setup work well for runniong OSx86 and Windows? Also, if you can answer my questions above, I'd appreciate that too. THANKS!!

there's plenty of threads where you should have posted your question.. or better one, a brand new topic ... instead your hyjacking this one, which is clearly related to samsung NC10 hardware

Or, if you have an iPhone, you could use it as an external trackpad via WiFi. There's an iPhone App for this. Didn't try it yet. I will...

Internal mic should work with the voodoo HDA whenever it comes out.

About sound... as a temporary solution in order to enable sound out on headphone, I installed AzaliaAudio.pkg and Audieee application for NC10. Unfortunately I noticed strange things after that... for example, sometimes the NC10 didn't shutdown properly and in System Profiler the Machine Model string wasn't "NC10" anymore, but it changed more or less randomly to "NC10" + some garbage string. I don't know if this is just a cosmetic issue or a sign that something is going wrong...
At the end I unistalled AzaliaAudio and everything is fine again: no shutdown problems anymore.

Did anybody notice troubles with AzaliaAudio package?

Mine is a "standard" Mysticus installation (JaS based OSX 10.5.6 for NC10), as described in the guide.

i was hoping that someone would see it here and help me. i chose this thread because it has so much ativity and views.

i tried posting in the help forum over 3 days ago, and have not gotten one response.

have you read the title of this topic?

have you posted your questions in the right place?

have you read the appropriate sections in this forum?

your post is useless and waste of time for this topic, and your excuse is even worse... stop the crap, and take a walk before you get harsher comments...

this is a big problem with newcomers...

[giliathstod]

Hey Mysitcus:
I once used your "Old-FB-for-clonescreen.pkg.zip"
It would be great if you offer the new one to download.
Thanks

You can use the NC10 package for other installations, i think it installs trackpad, keyboard and graphics drivers (only shure about the new graphics drivers )

Has anyone attempted to download Apples new security update 2009-001 via the software updater?

Is it safe to install ?

[crobs808]

...this is a big problem with newcomers...

that just proves my point. that there is a BIG problem with the forum/hosting code, not the newcomers.

don't talk down to me like i am some stupid young 16yr old kid. I have been in the IT business for over 15 years. ever heard of QNIX? yeah, didn't think so. stop putting people down and realize it is not our fault that the forum will NOT ALLOW new topics for many users. there is a problem with the pho code, the problem is not with me.

stop being a jerk, grow up, and read the bginning of my post again. i said i was intentionally hijacking the thread because i was forced to. there was no way for me to post a new thread, the forum just gives an error everytime i try, and i have created 3 usernames now to get this working. i got no response from the help forum that i posted in 4 days ago now, and i have emailed 3 admins, and gotten NO response. how is any of this my fault?

look, this is my last post here, because it obviously didnt work in getting any help, but i still had to do it and my logic in posting here was justified since the forum isnt working.
