  1. Going to try this today thanks @claver and everyone else on this thread. -Rock
  2. Same issues here Details: - Acer 5745G, 4 GB RAM, Core i5-430M, Nvidia GT330M snow leopard works just fine, the UI and performance is breezy, on Lion there is a general sluggishness / Jitters in the UI. Overall, I think this might be a UI drivers issues, not sure though. Some things I tried [but didnt work]: - Unloaded AppleUpstreamUserClient - Rolled back AppleACPIPlatform and IOPCIFamily to 10.6.7 I guess a lot of people are facing this issue, would be great if someone can investigate, or guide on how to investigate this issue. -Rock
  3. For the integrated and discrete graphics card, select "Discrete" option for graphics in the bios. for details on getting osx working on 5745G refer : http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1503
  4. Good that it helped .. there are still some issues regarding sleep and audio not working exactly great ( pin configs or vhda pref pane adjustments). I used a dell 1510 mini wifi card, based on discussion with people on IRC and searching in the forums, it seemed at that time, the actual wifi card was not supported in osx86, it might have changed now, not sure. Here is the link to my comment on prasys' blog : http://prasys.info/2009/12/rebranding-broa...t/#comment-3502, it has the exact model / chip number. -Rock
  5. my 2 cents : http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1503 good to see so many people using this laptop rock
  6. Install notes and details for Acer 5745G : http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...amp;#entry10567 might be helpful. -Rock
  7. I have been able to get the basic system up but two main things not working are 1) Battery Indicator (Tried AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext - Gives KP, Tried VoodooBattery.kext shows 100% and charger connected all the time). 2) Sound System (Tried VoodooHDA doesnt work OOB, Made some tweaks to PinConfig, but not successful Yet) Right now I have shifted to Linux Ubuntu 10.04, even there I faced the above two problems. Solved them in Ubuntu by : 1) Compiling a Custom kernel with the patch : http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/acer-...-ACPI-fix.patch. As by what I could make out it calls the _REG method before the EC device is started using (I guess some sort of initialization) 2) Using a backport package, the sound works but is identified as ALC271X before that it was identified as ALC269 (but didnt work) Does Any know how to fix the above issues? Thanks in advance! Rock
  8. Another improvement following suggestions from iSpliff. Got the native graphics working without the NVinject. a) Removed the NVinject kext AsereBLN Booter installed. I had an additional install of Leopard on the same drive, so formatted that and ran MyHack installer. c) Added Graphics Enabler = y, Graphics mode as 1366x768x32 and Pciroot = 0 in the com.apple.Boot.plist Rebooted and boom ! native graphics working ! External monitor also working correctly. Thanks Conti, iSpliff ! -Rock
  9. Made two changes to the system: The CPU was running very hot and system shutting down hard, so uninstalled all the previous kexts and just added VoodooPowerMini and VoodooMonitor to the system, now the CPUs are running much cooler In the process of whole cleaning up, accidentally removed my /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist (one which booted the system in legacy mode) and guess what, the whole thing worked like a charm so now enjoying 64 Bit SL. Two glitches though Had to install NVinject 64 bit to get the graphics working, would love to get graphics working with out the Injector, any thoughts ????? No tap to click working on Trackpad. After much trials and failures got that working with http://nawcom.com/osx86/files/10.6/PS2/Voo...troller.pkg.zip, thanks nawcom !! -Rock
  10. Updated to 10.6.3 Just remember to run Conti's Pfix before rebooting the system, the reboot will take some time, just sit through that.. and all should be well. -Rock
  11. Not sure about SnowPC.. but you can check out my thread at : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=189211 , SL works well on Acer 5738G... -Rock
  12. unmount the partitions of the usb drive from disk utility. That should fix the resource busy error. -Rock
  13. Wireless Working now !! Replaced the internal PCIE Intel 5100 card with Broadcom 4312... costed 33 $ (1500 Rs.) Working awesome now. In case someone needs to know where to get this card in bangalore PM me. Thanks to prasys btw ! -Rock
  14. firstly dude.. its not 1.5.8 its 10.5.8 ! ... I have an acer 5738G and both Leopard and Snow work on it. Here the thread you can refer to http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=180228 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=189211 Try either of them out and see what happens.... -Rock
  15. Its a ZD1215 card. I tried using the ones in #5 but they didnt work for me. I had resorted back to drivers which I was using in Leopard. -Rock
