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...

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 ^^

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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)

Ha! Got it

The stock 10.5.6 drivers can be made to work by hex-editing them to replace the PCI device IDs (I downloaded a script which does this automagically, but I've temporarily misplaced it... I'll post more details on this step when I find it again), and then adding the following to /Volumes/EFI/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist or /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist (depending on whether you have an EFI partition or not):

CODE

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>6d0000000100000001000000610000000200000002010c00d041030a00000000010106000002
fff0400100000006d006f00640065006c0000000b000000474d41203935302000000041004100500
4c002c00480061007300500061006e0065006c0000000800000001000000</string>

... this should be entered within the "<dict>" and "</dict>" tags. Note that the data within the "<string>" tags should be a single continuous line - this board adds line-breaks.

Translated, this string reads exactly:

CODE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key>
    <dict>
        <key>AAPL,HasPanel</key>
        <string>0x00000001</string>
        <key>model</key>
        <string>GMA 950</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

... so no magic here: this is basically a minimal change to alter the value of HasPanel to enable the graphics driver to start correctly.

With this change in place, Natit.kext is no longer required!

Hi, Ive just ordered a 2GB ram stick and a Dell 1390 WiFi card, so I'm taking my plunge into the world of OSX with my daughters new NC10 Christmas pressie :-)

Does the current OSX installation chew battery life significantly more than XP ? (assuming LCD is set to medium on both to remove that as a variable) ... Has anyone got test comparisions for the 2 OSes ?

Many Thanks

PS. Please keep this thread alive.... the dedication and knowledge is fantastic (actually this thread is the reason Santa is coming to our house with an NC10 in the first place)

also when you extract the natit, did you fix the permissions? you dont seem to do it from the look of it... use kexthelper or use terminal to fix the permissions!

dark: do you have a password set in your user account

update news: i made the scripts even better guys for the brightness control

you will be able to save the password in keychain and once you run the commands through quicksilver first time it will ask you to approve: choose always allow and it will do the work for you and you dont save your password in plain text anymore

it will ask you to allow one more time, click allow (for keychain access)

i m attaching project files and full guide about everything will be tomorrow, sorry for not making it today, was very busy with other things as well... got home and finished this script

(also in quicksilver while making the triggers, choose display to show window so it will show a brightness icon i assigned for each increase or decrease

they are a bit lame, anyone have better design cant send me hi res pngs, so i will include them in the new guide and files as well

I have to admit that I all of a sudden don't understand the instructions posted in this thread, maybe it's because I'm sick at the moment. :-/
So you have to excuse me if this question is obvious to everyone else.

Anyway, can anybody confirm that they've got the headphone jack working with the instructions posted in the thread?

Dec 19 2008, 11:18 PM

swe: nope headphone not working due to lack of codecs i tried million times... however, now voodoo team made a better deal

new hda driver completely rewritten from bsd source codes, and i m invited for the test drive

according to dense new driver allows both speaker and headphone, although mic/line ins coded they are disabled at the moment, in 1-2 days i will get a test driver and report back results...

(please dont bother him asking, only few people invited and once tests done, it will be published and i will include it in an installer)

src and timo: please try the new scripts (modified applescripts) above and feedback please

also src: efi strings are good but not for everyone mate

many noobs around here so i try to avoid giving something they will mess up...

you dont read the posts too often i guess?

update to 10.5.6 manualy (download delta update 10.5.6 from apple) dont restart after finished/minimize!
use my update patches from bike town, and install it with only nc10 option selected! no fix nothing else, restart after that, you will have everything working again, and use the gma 950 package again...

today i could not finish the guide due to busy day

tomorrow hopefully, i will edit the guide with better partitioning options and ddmac guide and new 10.5.6 upgrade dvd package (including new gma package)

Fixed it... whilst 10.5.5 is happy with AppleACPIPS2Nub or ApplePS2Controller, 10.5.6 requires both kexts to be active at the same time - with both loaded, everything is fine!

Additionally, 10.5.6 no longer seems to require a custom SystemConfiguration bundle in order to access battery information so it is now possible to run OSX with custom kexts loaded from an EFI partition without changing anything from the installation on the main partition.

I have 10.5.4 NC10 DVD running on my system and as advised I went out and bought a retail copy of Leopard for copyright purpose. But since I now have a retail copy I am thinking of doing it retail style (booting and Extension kexts in EFI partition). I know I shouldve done the research and the legwork myself but could you send me a zipped copy of the exact files you have on your /Volumes/EFI/ folder? Would save me a lot of hassle and from the look of it, you managed to get GFX EFIstring to work too so can I have your com.apple.boot.plist (or w/e its called, lol) so I can just install it and it works first time. I think a lot of other NC10 users would like to know what hacked extensions needed when you get to 10.5.6. too.

Would like to know if Sleep works on your laptop too (lid/Fn+Esc/timed), especially with vanilla SystemConfiguration.bundle coz using a vanilla 10.5.4 or 10.5.5 broke my sleep (intermittently for some reason)

Many thanks

do you install nc10 dvd?

if not, it will be hard to track down your issues so no answer if not on nc10...

also check the page 54 of the bios settings and match the same settings to your bios!

i m sorry i will not answer this question, it gets harder to track down drivers partitions etc you use from other distros... someone else may use ideneb answer the question pls...
i suggested you to check the bios settings as well, did you check the bios settings?
whole reason of making nc10 dvd is to keep everyone in track so easier to follow possible errors...

========================
for others: i m just back at home, so i will finish the guide hopefully and after that, i will make the 10.5.6 dvd upgrade process for interested people, which will not take more than 10-15 mins

i will also include patched gma driver and the quicksilver with everything you need, will try to post the settings for people to correctly make the quicksilver arrangement, and you will have short cut key assigned for brightness control if you follow the guide...

it will take me about 1-2 hrs hopefully if i m not disturbed

sorry for the wait but private life interferes as well

as long as i can finish on time

usually when i start something, new things come to my mind, and doing/improving the process extends the expected the process

i was just gonna implement the 10.5.6 update into current isos, with old drivers, than decided to upgrade the drivers with newer ones so i dont have to do it the longer way... one stop install of everything... but you will still need to make some process for the quicksilver which i will provide visually in the new pdf guide...

what is coming:

new update pdf guide:
+ new install process of the ddmac (creation, application and installation) to/from partition...
+ new partitioning scheme with reasonable spacing for 2 osx partitions (1 main 2 time machine/or files) + 1 ddmac partition (4.4 gb)
+ quicksilver preparation process for brightness control

new installation pack for people who choose other distros (dont expect me to support debugging your errors please, these are the files for people who know what they are doing):
+ latest updated drivers for 10.5.6: gma 950 (patched for brightness control as well) with natit and brightness control scripts for using with quicksilver
+ my patched hda drivers for temporary usage until fully working VoodooHDA comes out (i will not include azalia driver but if you have previous packages you should already have a copy of it by now anyway...)

10.5.6 dvd iso/partition upgrade process for interested people (as usual no ppf as it exceeds 1.5 gb rate so i dont wanna handle such a big file):
+ iso: same as before, you will need to place the iso and 10.5.6 combo.pkg in the root, and process will do everything for you

+ ddmac partition: same as above: place the combo update in the root, process will take care of the rest...

Ok so I finally made the leap bought a NC10...blue...with all the fixins.

Now I need to go through all this minutia to figure out how to get all this stuff on...
By the way, there is a script out there that removes all the PPC programing from the applications and such. Can you include that Myst C.

I am looking forward to the final result. I want to make a bootable 8gb flash drive installer one shot... is it possible?

('cause it's so interesting to see NC10 evolve step by step)...
Anyway, I just reinstall 10.5.5 and run the script right after that. It works now..it's seem like the script has some problem with Paragon NTFS or one of my other apps...because when I reinstall 10.5.5, install Paragon NTFS, and then run gma950 package --> it gives me error. But when I reinstall 10.5.5 and use the gma950 package right away, then it's ok...weird

Really interesing work and I await the latest files/guides with interest. Got my NC10 today and changed the wireless card to the 1490 which OSX picks up no problem. My XP skills are less impressive and although I downloaded the driver from the Dell site when I try and install it it fails - any one any ideas on what I need to do in XP?

You're misunderstanding, Paragon work. What doesn't work is the gma950 package after I installed Paragon.

So, you just need to install the gma950 package BEFORE installing Paragon. That's all
