thank you very much

I'm sorry!!

The missing part 20 is now online @ Bike Town

Hi everyone,

I've been using 10.5.6 on my nc 10 for a couple of days now and everything's working fine, however I've noticed two things..


first is the 4:3 ratio on the trackpad.. (mentioned before.. maybe someone knows how to fix this? maybe it's just some setting in a plist... I don't know, tried to figure out but... nah)

and second is: the thing's using an "Intel GMA950 (IGP) max.384MB shared memory"- at least that's what mine says (white/german revision). In OSX system profiler tells me I've got a total of 64mb of vram... I know windows xp was able to use the full 384mb and I think with the msi-iso system profiler said 384MB of vram (might be wrong though)


Any suggestions?

Cheers,
iXXn

Hello Mysticus C*, and thanks a lot for all the the great job you did (I have been original you see ?ahah)

The 10.5.6 is working very well, it's amazing .

As required I give my feedbacks and issues I have. I saw some known issues so I ll put the answers I understood and you'll not have to confirm it if it's true.

1- When the computer is going to sleep mode and I wake my NC10 up, all USB devices is disconnected and connected back 1 second later, but I have the disconnected device error. I didn't read any tips to fix it, maybe I read the topic too fast.

2- Bluetooth can't be turned off because it's directly put in an USB port, how to turn it off after all ?

3- Touchpad for scrolling and so on , doesn't work. I saw a driver is coming soon or we can download a software in order to do that, is that true ?

4- I'm not connected to Wifi because I still have the original card however the Wifi status led is still on. Is the wifi really on or just the led is not fonctionnal ?

5- I have done as told in the tutorial a Samsung partition on my HDD of 4 GB, now MAC OS X is installed can I format it but get more spaces ?


I haven't seen any others issues for the moment . But thanks a lot for the great job, I hope i didn't bother you with my questions.

Thank you

See you soon

Hi iXXn,

it seems to be normal that system profiler shows only 64mb of your vram. As I've been told, it does on some real macs using the same chipset, too.

Ratio of the trackpad: Everybody here might have the same issue, but it's a minor issue I think we can live with. Search the forum for solutions on synaptics trackpads, that could help, but please don't ask, I didn't try it.

Hello Mysticus C*

<snip>

4- I'm not connected to Wifi because I still have the original card however the Wifi status led is still on. Is the wifi really on or just the led is not fonctionnal ?

run for cover

The FN+F9 key is a mapped windows hardware switch which can turn the power
to the wireless card on and off in windows only.

So yes if the led is on, then your wireless card is on and consuming power.

The fact that it does not show in osx is purely a driver issue.

Since there is no way to turn off the card in osx presently i have set my
bios setting for wireless to remember last state, that way if i turn it off
with the FN+F9 in windows, it remains off when i boot into osx.

This does also mean it remains off when you next boot into windows
until you press the FN+F9 to turn it on again.

I've got a problem where the clock on the OS X side is several hours different than the XP side. When I set the clock on the OS X side, then the XP clock is off. Anyone know how to fix?

Next download 10.5.6 combo update from apple and 10.5.6 update pack from mysticus c*
run 10.5.6 combo update and do not hit restart button at the end.

Then install mysticus c* 10.5.6 update pack from mysticus c* and once done you can
hit the restart button on the apple 10.5.6 combo installer.

This will reboot a couple of times and then you will have 10.5.6

Then all you need to do is download the trackpadfull patch and chud from biketown
Install these and also the enhanced brightness icons from biketown and follow the
instructions on about pages 105 or higher of mysticus c*'s nc10 v2 pdf manual
also on his biketown page listed on post number 1 of this thread.

Niteman,
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I bricked it during the 10.5.5 upgrade. So after much time and frustration, I figured something out: Because the 10.5.6 is a combo update, you can totally SKIP the 10.5.5 upgrade and fix completely. Instead, on a hunch, I just installed the 10.5.6 combo, and then did Mysticus' NC10 10.5.6 fix (plus the track pad and brightness controls) - and it worked!

Finally, I have a stupid question (total noob, really): I installed the CHUD package, but really, I'm not sure what to do with it. Do I have to do something special to get it to do the switch? Or by installing it did I end up just putting the switch in?

Thanks.

I've got a problem where the clock on the OS X side is several hours different than the XP side. When I set the clock on the OS X side, then the XP clock is off. Anyone know how to fix?

abirch: just change your settings on both sides so that they set the clock via the internet. then, whenever you get on, it will fix itself.

however, the clock stays consistent as long as you don't switch between each OS (e.g., when I just continue using OSX, the clock is fine). I'm not sure why this all happens, but this is a really small price to pay for having the dual boot, imho.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would add my feedback.

My NC10 White/UK has been running the Mysticus ISO edition for a few days now and it's fabulous!

It had a reboot cycle when I installed but I read the instructions and updated the BIOS to the correct settings before looking like an idiot on the forum!

The Dell 1390 wifi card works great!

Dead stable all as expected, the Quicksilver triggers are great.

Headphone switching and the LAN are the only outstanding issues and I know the LAN is awaiting a Yukon chipset driver (if possible who knows).

We are waiting for a script from the Mighty Mysticus to sort headphone switching? I personally think you need to have a break for a week or so

Great work - have the netbook I've always wanted now!

Charlie

Thanks for the tip about the Wifi status pal it's nice . I stay tuned on the evolution of the OSX

[Marijnr]

Just curious: what battery time do you guys get with OS X on the NC10?

With the original Windows XP running, I managed to squeeze between 6 and 7 hours off a fully charged battery. Now with OS X, it seems that the processor is always at full throttle and I get between 4 and 5 hours of work till OS X gives a low-battery warning. Also, the fan keeps spinning longer and more often than with Windows XP. Maybe the power management still needs some tweaking?

Other than this and the trackpad, I'm totally impressed by the NC10~OS-X~experience!

[Falergi]

I found the same issue. I think fan in OS X is much louder than in XP. However I think autonomy is still around 6h - 6h30 for me so maybe it s just a feeling we have.

[helphpcompaqnx6325]

hey guys,

managed to get 10.5.6 usinh Nitemans method so im on 10.5.6 now.
Although, I understood the Quicksilver brightness method I messed it up accidently now when I click on triggers- It just load for ages and doesn't allow me to add new trigers. I forgot it loads with that circle thing and says something which I have forgot- I'll come back and edit this post with what it says later.

Anybody got a solution? I have uninstalled, re-installed and reset preferences.
I might just have to reinstall 10.5.4 and get to 10.5.6 again using the proper way to save time.
But theres a few things Im not understanding at it so if somebody could explain as simple as possible to this newb Id be very happy.

n.b I have= JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso
-which I patched using the first ever ppf for the NC10
using DDMAC.exe method

1) do I have to update my pathced iso to 10.5.5 first, then upgrade it to 10.5.6?

Below, is what i think i am supposed to do- please correct me if i am wrong.
note: I dont have a rapidshare premium and don't own any cards (student), I don't want to download a new iso as my connection is so throttled and I have read pretty much from the beginning of the thread but you never know may have missed someting out :/

1)you log onto your Leopard partition the one you have installed
2)you open root of that partition and place the 10.5.4 (patched) and the 10.5.6 combo update.
3)I run the dvd upgrade the one Myst have given and I select the option 1 which copies the necessary update files to a temp. folder in the root.
4)step two myst. says there are 6 sub-options- I only see two? the one for the ISO which i wont need since i use DDMAC and the last one for DDMAC which I select.
5)choose step 3 which deletes folder from step one.
6)and if I have done all this, what do I do?
- do I re-install the DDMAC partition or will this still be 10.5.4?
-or will it load the apple terminal and run a few scripts- updating my current leopard partition to 10.5.6?

look forward to your answers guys
and wish everyone a happy new-years eve

Don't ask me how, but after 3 days on the torrent, every part is reporting CRC differences. Also, part 20 reports an incorrect password, even though it's using '4all' like the rest. (And I tried downloading that part separately via the links posted) Before I ditch all these files could someone run an "md5sum NC10Jax861056InE23_Myst.*.rar" and post it for me? It's just hard to believe all 20 are fried here..

some people grabbed the torrent already and didnt have any issue, your system have the issue due to broken download or some other reasons... try the http method instead of torrent...

@ abirch

The clock-offset is totally normal, you will also get it if you use windows via bootcamp on original apple hardware.. it's due to different interpretation of the system/bios clock that windows & osx show different times. As a workaround you could set both of the clocks to synchronize time via internet.. this way the clock should always tell the right time.


@ Marijnr / Falergi

Power Management is not working at all at this time, so the netbook will allways run on full throttle in osx. That's the reason why the fan is continiously blowing. As you will know there is no original apple-atom hardware so that's why there's still no solution for Power Management on this new chipset.

Cheers,

[niteman1969]

I still seem to be getting very near the 6hr mark as the machine
starts with a lower brightness setting on battery since installing
the apple 10.56 update and Mysticus C*'s 10.5.6 upgade patch pack.

So very impressed with it so far.
