I am also using the Dell 1490 Card and with Mac OS X it worked OTB, but with XP I am still struggeling. I used the drivers for 1490 from Dell and tried to install them manually. Unfortunately I always get an error message (Code 39). Which drivers did you use? It's a Dell 1490 card (Broadcom 4312).

Cheers

Marco

i used

• http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R189136.exe

install them manually as it said no hardware found, let it extract them to c:\dell, then in device manage, go update driver and point it to the directory. All installed and informed me of wireless networks straight away

this is the one i bought, not sure if it was a proper dell or not, its in now so cant see what it says
on it

There are links on the ebay page too to other drivers that I didn't try

Ok, so I have managed to run the pkg's, the problem I was having was that I had unzipped them in windows. Don't unzip them on your pc, do it on the mac

I'm still having problems with the keyboard tho

" comes out as @
£ is OK so makes me think its set to UK alright
@ comes out as "
\ doesn't work
| doesn't work

There's is probably more too.
I have installed uk_keyboard_layout_fix.pkg.zip any ideas whats happening

My dell 1940 worked straight away, without the airport-fix-for-bcm43xx-adapters.pkg.zip. So Do I need it?


TIA

If you had read back through this thread you would have found the answers.... Both have been asked a number of times before... Have you selected the new keyboard layout that you installed via 'International' in 'System Prefs'?

In fact, the keyboard question is answered in THE VERY FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD!

FYI safari 4 working great here.

Hi Folks,

10.5.4 works a charm, trying to get my hands on the torrent of the ppf applied ISO (NC10 10.5.6 ISO) from Demonoid.com. Can anyone pass it on to me or invite me to join? I'm not very tech savvy, savvy and upgrading seems a little difficult as I'm just after getting my head around installing Mac OS!

Thanks alot,

I realize this is at complete n00b question. But I have no experience with demonoid.
I finally managed to find the NC10Jax861056InE23_Myst 10.5.6 on is0hunt. But seems there are no seeders. At least not from TPB. Demonoid is marked with "? seeds". Also I can't connect to the demonoid tracker through Vuze. I probably need an account right? Can anyone please send me an invite? I would be very greatfull.

I haven't bought my nc10 yet, but am going to. Not least because of you guys. Many thanks!
I know you have put an extraordinary amount of energy into this - especially Mysticus. When I get going i will donate.

Indeed but I installed from MSIWindosx86.iso, not Jas 10.5.4. So now that I know how to do the process I'm just going to start a fresh. Also I want to reshuffle the amount of storage I originally gave as I'm going to put TM on an external drive. I've since found the torrent file anyways, thanks to medusa. My appreciations.

You are welcome. However i also found this:
http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1764...;ref=1232240284
Which is considerably larger, so i'm thinking maybe the one on isohunt is missing something?

EDIT: Believe it or not. I actually had read the post where someone refers to the txt. I just didn't realize where it was. For any other n00bs around, having same difficulties as me:
There is a txt with rapidshare and shragle DL-links. It is in the "Samsung NC10 files section" linked to from page 1. Currently file is 2. from the top.

Once I found it, spelling it out here really seems too obvious - figured to do it anyways as I don't seem to be the only one who is confused.

I tried those DL links but it's much better if you sign up and pay in order to download otherwise it takes an eternity. Yep I'm not getting any seeds either with the torrent file medusa. Could someone please please invite me to demonoid.com? Just shove my username against @me.com extension and that's my address. I'd be much obliged and would pass on the favour to by inviting others and keeping my torrent downloader open to provide seeding.

With my laptop:
On Mains:
- Close lid/sleep will black out the screen and I had to hold the power button down to power it off. When I restart it acts like the laptop goes into deepsleep at the time I put it to sleep. This I think what makes NC10s cant sleep on mains, it thinks its going into hibernate and write the ram onto the sleepimage (S2/S3-which I dont know anything about ) making it impossible to wake back up, but the kernel still thinks its going to sleep so it didnt power down at all.
- Deep Sleep widget will make the screen go white for a sec and after 5 second or so all the power is gone. I boot back up and on the screen instead of apple boot logo (pc_efiv9 still have this instead of chameleon v6 which killed it) it said start hibernation, rotating ascii wheel and then Wake Kernel and it acts like ity just woke up from normal sleep, ie same state when I click on Deep Sleep widget (this I assume what hibernation does on a mac)

On battery:
- Close lid/sleep will make it go to normal sleep and pushing the power button will wake it back up.
- Deep sleep widget acts exactly like mains.

My NC10 isn't sleeping when I close the lid, do I have to change some setting to get it to sleep using the lid? It will sleep if I tell it too. Deep Sleep widget only seemed to make it sleep not hibernate.

Sorry to the person that complained I hadn't done a search for the keyboard issue, I was rushing a bit ( as i was at work trying to install it)and missed the point that the keyboard was UK and not British, I had used the international settings, but set British. And believe me I have read alot of this thread, but it is getting ridiculous now at over 84 pages, we could do with a summarry thread or something, or a section for nc10 with threads for keyboard, bluetooth, etc to make it better and easier to share people expertise maybe .

Sorry if I'm a pain

I finally found the scripts folder. Sorry!

most of the issues people are reporting are caused by not reading carefully!

please read the post#1 carefully...

it explains the issues, and solutions.

most solutions/patches are in nc10 files section with appropriate titles if you understand!

For Example:

post#1 states that multi-touch does not work, many people still ask for it!

post#1 and the main install guide states that EDB setting should be enabled, almost everyone still misread it, or didnt read it at all, or some read it and confirmed that they did it, even in front of their eyes, they cant see it is disabled, and get loops...

in the install guide, i specifically said to click customize and choose nc10 option, there are still people ignoring it with next next next habit....

i rearranged the post#1, but i know the fact that people dont read carefully, and will still complain about already explained problems...

If it's that easy I might as well go ahead and download Jas 10.5.4, then do the update. Cheers Mysticus. All the PPF patching business throws noobs like myself way off. I Still don't know what a PPF is. Appreciations for the time and efforts put in to this. Hopefully once I'm finished I can use my NaC1nt0sh just like a regular Mac.

hi,

today i wanted to watch a movie with my nc10 using osx. i connected the vga cable from the beamer and it worked. but i wanted to have the screen mirrored so i checked the mirror option. after that both screens were overcrowded with stripes and other stuff, the screen was not readable anymore so i had no chance to uncheck the mirror option.
maybe it is just a resolution problem, i don't know. when i disconnect the vga cable the nc10 screen becomes readable again. reboot didn't help. even turning the beamer off doesn't help. when i connect the cable, the nc10 screen is not usable anymore.

can anyone help please?

@Mysticus

i understand that you get angry when so many people ask the same questions. i read the guide very carefully and not only once, and i think a lot of the others did this, too. but i'm a beginner and i never saw an osx installation before so that wasn't something easy to me. and then i saw that my installation differed from the guide. and i believe the customize button isn't there anymore respectively it has another name, but i'm not 100% sure. and when i click it, the options look also different from the guide. so people get insecure, at least i was.

please don't get me wrong. you did great work with the iso and the guide, it is just that i think beginner don't really know what they should do when the help guide differs from the installtion and the installation doesn't work.

ok if someone asks if lan is working or so, i would be angry, too. it is clear stated on the first post.

apart from that, i have problems with this forum. everytime i use the search i don't get any results. i don't know what i'm doing wrong.


so, i hope someone can help me out with my external beamer please. thanks a lot in advance.

ppf is a binary difference patch to make things easier. For example, I took a Jas DVD, and applied necessary changes (add/remove files and settings) and have finaly nc10 DVD, some of you already has JAS, so ppf come to 1.5 gb size, to download, and applying it is only 3 steps, source choosen=jas, ppf choosen=nc10 ppf, apply the patch done!

instead of d/l 4.4 gb, you download 1/3 size.... with ppf (you only get the changes made to dvd, instead of full re-download)

if you dont have anything, you have more options still to go straight to 10.5.6, if u checked the Bike Town...

no need to go to jas=>ppf=>10.5.6... you can get 10.5.6 straight as well... just read/check correctly...

your question about graphics cloning is answered already in the very first post!

* VGA out works, but with latest drivers, only desktop extension possible on 2nd monitor. To also get "clone" function, you need to install OLD FRAMEBUFFER driver from BIKE TOWN's NC10 Files Section

customize button is always there, and i mentioned it in the pdf guide! if you read it carefully...


most problems are answered in first post, some other additional non important or personal problems answered throug out the topic, USE GOOGLE with keywords "Subject_You_Want_to_Search insanelymac nc10" without quotes ""

This part is general not directed to you, but you can take part of it as well...
some people does not even know how to use windows, or even basic common sense about searching, and complain. Some people are born to complain without reading or understanding...
