Mitalca Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 really great job ridgeline I think I'm getting closer to a full reinstall, so I'll definitely enjoy your new installer I'm sure you already thought most of this, but let me tell some things to add or consider: . all drivers functional in 10.5.6 . the latest IDT driver, with headphones working (at least one of them) . 2 finger scroll PLUS media keys working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgeline Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Okay well my installer does include the latest audio driver... and I am working on the latest 2 finger scroll. My media keys have always worked so I did not know this was a issue, and best I can tell all the drivers do work in 10.5.6 however you will have to reinstall the audio after you update to 10.5.6 What distro are you using Mitalca?

Mitalca Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i'm using iDeneb 10.5.5 updated to .5.6 right now, my keyboard and trackpad aren't working I need to borrow some usb keyboard so I can try installing some kext to try to work this out, or a PS2/USB adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrightside23 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I received my Dell Studio 17 this week, and was looking forward to installing Leopard on it til I heard about the ATI Graphics issues. I still tried out OSX on a partition, keeping it ready for if the ATI drivers are released. I managed to install Kalyway - the first step was to make sure the "cpus=1" parameter was set. After install, I needed to use GParted to make my Windows partition bootable again, otherwise no OS was booting, and I got a "No operating system found" message. I'm using the Windows Boot Loader to dual-boot from the Vista and OSX partitions - did this using EasyBCD software because I'm lazy. Kudos to ridgeline for the post installer - all the drivers worked and I have working touchpad, media keys, power management etc. Hopefully we'll start seeing the graphic drivers soon. I have the Intel WiFi Link 5100 wireless adapter, any idea if that's going to be compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgeline Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i'm using iDeneb 10.5.5 updated to .5.6right now, my keyboard and trackpad aren't working I need to borrow some usb keyboard so I can try installing some kext to try to work this out, or a PS2/USB adapter When you get a keyboard I can send you a installer that will fix your keyboard issue. unfortuantly you have to have a external keyboard to get it working.

Boombeng Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 you can use a virtual Keyboard with a USB mouse : Go in Apple menu/System preferences/International/Input Menu/ > select "Keyboard viewer" in top of the list (third) and selct "show input menu in menu bar" > Now in menu bar you can click the flag and choose"show keyboard viewer", and a virtual keyboard you can use with mouse appears !

ridgeline Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Mitalca, here is a archive of two kexts I can put them into a installer later today or you can just use kexthelper now that you can use virtual keyboard(great tip Boombeng) install the two files. after that just reboot but, I figured at least it would keep you from waiting.

Mitalca Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 great!! Thanks a lot to both of you! My keys are back and so is my trackpad!! The kexts are working perfect, all my media keys also work. I'll use your installer to install the 2 finger scroll once that is ready. Once again: Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeynaut Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ridgeline and Boombeng, you guys are legends!!! I've been lurking on this forum for a while waiting for the graphics to be sorted and an instillation package to be put together. But, now that I realize it could be ages before the 5100 wi-fi card is supported, I'll be holding off even longer. So, I just wanted to say I've seen the work you guys have put in, and it's very cool. Respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgeline Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well don't give up, we haven't and as time goes you never know I simply stumbled upon the Dell 1510-N wifi support but doing a system update via bluetooth through my blackberry. And that is one thing that was actually fixed by Apple. So have faith I am sure we will get more info put together as time goes and I will continue to work on the video issue as long as they keep producing new frame buffers. And thanks for the props.... Not too mention if things get going with the video card you could always buy a USB wifi dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehdymehdy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Boom and Ridge, Thank you so much for all of your hard work! Ridge good job on that post installer, it is very well put together. I have a friend who works on Osx86 Hp's and he wanted to know how you put that together, he would want to package up all the fixes he has for the community. Okay I have a few questions. No one seems to have mentioned any sleep issues, but I am having a few. I have a 1535 running kalyway updated to 10.5.5 and when my computer goes to sleep it does not turn on, so i set a corner to wake it up from sleep, and that worked, but when it wakes the mouse does not work?Is there any fix for this? In "about this mac" it shows my Processor as 1.2 Ghz unknown, instead of T8100? How can I get I8Kfan to start at boot up? Help will be greatly appreciated!

ridgeline Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 ik8Fan starts at boot there is a driver for it the gui that you seen in Apps is to modify the settings so unless you want to monitor it you don't need the gui to run at startup Tell your friend to PM me or find me on IRC #DellStudio Also what distro are you using?

rafucho24 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 hi, I posted here a long time ago, when I installed iATKOS v2 I think on me Dell, just had it for a couple of hours, since no WiFi or Eth worked. I have a Xmod (usb device), and I'm currently downloading iATKOS v5, could you please guide me to install OSX? I currently have Vista and Ubuntu in Dual-boot, I'll be freeing up some space to leave an unpartitioned space for OSX, is it ok if the partition is the third one on the disk? I'll be having: 1. Partition: Vista 2. Data (NTFS) 3. OSX 4. Extended: Ubuntu + Swap partitions Please guide me to the best version of Hack OSX that should be used, I have downloaded, iATKOS v2, Kalyway, iATKOS v5 and Leo4All v3 (I think...). Thanks!

Hi Rafucho, iATKOS v5 is a good choice i use it and it works very well, under customize choose : - Bootloader: PC_EFI V9 - Decrypters: AppleDecrypt - SMBIOS: SMBiosResolver - Kernel: Don't choose nothing, default one is Vanillia 9.5 - ACPI: x86 ACPI - Disabler - System/SATA IDE: Intel AHCI SATA Good luck for your multiboot management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
