Brilliant. Mind sharing them, and how you tied them to Quicksilver? That'll do me fine for now!

You have to create two separate AppleScripts to execute tiomo's functions. In the following examples 'change-brightness.sh' script is stored in Scripts folder but you can save it in any folder you want, just adjust the folder paths accordingly.

First script is to increase the brightness:
do shell script "/Library/Scripts/change-brightness.sh set + 25" password "..." with administrator privileges

Second script is to decrease the brightness:
do shell script "/Library/Scripts/change-brightness.sh set - 25" password "..." with administrator privileges

NOTE:
"..." must be changed to your user password

After you have created the mentioned AppleScripts, store them e.g. in the same folder what you used earlier for the 'change-brightness.sh'.

In QuickSilver application you can then assign keyboard shortcuts for your AppleScripts by using Custom Triggers -functionality.

Hopefully this helps.

Apologies for the bluntness/weirdness of my last post, I was following up a post I made that seems to have disappeared. Anyway I followed the ddmac instructions to the letter, the iso writing completes successfully, but then xp throws a bluescreen anyway. I wrote the image to a logical partition as instructed. I'm more than happy to endure a blue screen to get osx going, but on selecting the "Mac osx install" option on boot, I get a "no HFS partition found" error.

Has anyone had this problem? I've been searching the web for a while and found nothing that works Thanks for any help.

To get around the HFS partition error, i merely booted into samsung recovery, and then exited once it loaded up, that seemed to fix the problem for me, try that and see how it goes

hello guys !!!
I have a request, I follow the topic since the begining, but now I'm sincerely lost between all the news things to do for our NC10 !

Does it will be possible to have a new "QUICK GUIDE" for install OSX on our NC10 with all the news founds since the begining of the topic, like partition, installation osx 10.5.6, sound (with mic and headphone jack), wifi, brightness script, etc ! To have a very powerfull NC10/OSX

Thanks for that, if you need help it will be a pleasure to help you, I see there is a lot of french people who'll like to install it on their NC10, I'll can translate it for have a french guide

And a big up to Mysticus for the work he done !

Thanks for the advice but no luck I'm afraid, still throws the HFS partition error. I've already changed the partition label to 0xAF with acronis disk director, I'm not sure there are many things left to try! 

edit: -just tried the whole process from scratch again, and having changed nothing at all, success!! Thanks a lot!

tazevill: i will try to revise the guide tomorrow with most things covered...

+ ddmac guide with pics
+ sound issues with temp solution with my duct taped together driver (understand that better driver is on the works by voodoo teams, and i m invited for test drives, so will see how it goes and will report back wen results come out, but will not post the driver until it has been approved. more or less in few weeks time, you will have internal spk+hp+mic internal+mic jack working with alternative drivers to applehda thanx to voodoo team to take the challenge)
+ update and install guide revision
+ also 10.5.6 update implementaton into current dvd isos for future purposes (if anyone wanna torrent their iso, your welcome to do so but i will not involve in the process, i will just provide the necessary bit to make an updated dvd as before...)
+ also it is good to have some feedback when somethings are done... like audio driver had no feedback, and for dvd upgrade i had only one person confirmed that did the upgrade successfull...

+ if i dont have any feedback, i cant track down errors or problems...

[tazevil666]

mysticus, it will be really great to have it for tommorow
so I'll have the Weekend to install it, and test it ! (before to start a new week of work :'( )
And I'll give you my feedback !

Very nice
I'm glad to be tomorrow ^^

[Flakk]

Installed perfectly, but on reboot I get "Operating system not found" !!!! Looks like I'm going to have to find a usb dvd drive after all...

edit : booted into the recovery solution and everything has sorted itself out, yayyy!!!

[tiomo1981]

timo: it is a framebuffer issue

i did same things as you did, system in blue screen and stucks there though i know the system responds! because it shutdowns and keyboard works etc...it just doesnt bring the desktop...

if you use the framebuffer from my packages, you can use evertyhing just fine... but you will need to patch out the brightness issue again can be slightly trouble finding the 55 in the right place u ll need haglebeef's longer method but still trouble...

i m testing the 10.5.6 gma kext patched (binary and plist)+ fb from my packages (note that it is not my fb patch at all, i grabbed it from somewhere else... people dont give credit so i dunno who made it originaly, but guess maybe dense?)

Thanks for the heads up. Did you get anywhere with patching the 10.5.6 driver? If so I'd be very interested in testing that.

I can't get the new driver to work properly. I'm still using the 10.5.5 driver. Your driver from the NC10 installer is a 10.5.5 version too, right?

Does anyone else experience the issue with the laptop not waking up from sleep after 10.5.6 upgrade? Stuart, is your installation OK? You're also on the retail install aren't you?

i m talking to dense now, he provided the natit, so 10.5.6 driver issue will be fixed hopefully

and i dont have any issue with sleep/wake up

more headsup will follow tomorrow...

(we may finally be able to fix sleep issue on power as well, just a hope with dsdt fix my chat with dense, he mentioned about dsdt tables may have usb info in power adapter mode, which my initial thought of acpi/pm makes sense now... so will need some collobration from kabyl or fassl to get modded dsdt and once done, we may be able to fix this sleep issue once for all! )

also voodoohda coming in 1-2 days (for testing) so i ll let u guys know about the progress...

once all these are done... with the temp brightness fix (thx to other members who was working on this ) we will have:

full sound working >> mic internal/jack + internal speaker/HP
WiFi >> stock one works only with duct taped together method, get a dell 1390 or 1490 or 1500 series?
lan >> not until someone write a driver or patch existing ones
sleep/wake/battery-power >> all will work hopefully

hopefully soon...

update news: latest patched gma drivers work with natit due to HasDisplay value missing from framebuffer... everything seems to work fine with gfx except, i see some anomalies in system preferences menu: If you click on a settings icon, and press show all button, and then click another settings, and menu's top part gets a bit messy: showing only title in a weird way and left top action buttons disappear, show all button disappear (mouse over shows them, or minimize, maximiz show them as well but it is the anomaly i ve seen)

i will make this package ready later today with 55 patched to c3 for brightness control

currently updating the guide lines at the moment...

You have to create two separate AppleScripts to execute tiomo's functions.

In QuickSilver application you can then assign keyboard shortcuts for your AppleScripts by using Custom Triggers -functionality.

I'm not so familiar with AppleScript, and I've a few niggling problems with this:

* Is there a way to run a script directly, rather than saving it as an application?

* When launched through QuickSilver (although seemingly not when run manually as an application) I'll randomly get a dialog saying "Press Run to run this script, or Quit to quit" with "Quit" and "Run" buttons, even though the AppleScript itself doesn't contain this! Just now I hit the "Brightness Down" trigger five times in a row one immediately after another, and this dialog appeared on the 3rd and 5th runs

* Even when there's no dialog, it takes a good three seconds to load the AppleScript application - is there a faster way, or a method to speed this up?

* Does Mac OS support SUID shell-scripts by some means? Would a better alternative be to get QuickSilver to execute a wrapper-script directly?

The good news is that the brightness control script works perfectly on 10.5.6 using the 10.5.5 modified GMA950 drivers, but without the need to perform further hacks after altering the PCI IDs

[tazevil666]

Hello

I see you're currently updating the guide !! Great

I'm waiting for it, and test it all the Weekend !

If you need help Mysticus don't hesitate to ask me !

[srcshelton]

Has anyone tried to generate EFI Strings for the NC10? Might this aid the 10.5.6 GMA950 driver issue in place of natit.kext?

I do wonder if something like this could perhaps be used to enable/remap the function keys to control screen brightness...

[ Mysticus C*]

try this http://rapidshare.com/files/174921731/gm950_-_10.5.6.pkg.zip

sorry guys, i will not be able to finish the update guide today, most likely in the weekend... i ve been busy whole day, now trying to improve the brightness script to write/read the password to/from keychain so noone gets hurt with unauthorized access but apple script is a bit over me

[srcshelton]

try this http://rapidshare.com/files/174921731/gm950_-_10.5.6.pkg.zip

Yep - absolutely fine!

I've tested from an EFI partition and I can't cause any corrupting either in System Preferences or from browsing around in iTunes, and the brightness control script works without any further changes.

I think I remember reading that everything that Natit does can also be acheived through EFI strings - am I recalling this correctly? Since it seems to keep coming up, I might see what I can manage over the weekend...

I currently having the same issue even though I'm still using 10.5.5. Is there anyway to fix it?

you can grab the natit from the package i sent above (using pacifist or any way u know) according to dense it is generic, so you can use it...

srcs: it works as i patched everytg in it...

When I tried to install it, it says "Install Fail." Again, I'm still using 10.5.5, I don't want to update to 10.5.6 yet, since it still have many problems and I can't my iPhone in DFU mode with it

be specific what is failed? and what did you do?

install should not fail, if it does please provide me the install log (when you are on install window, go to top left menu, window/installer log, show all messages)

if what you want is to grab natit, install pacifist and grab it inside the package...
