bartman101 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Specs: Mobile Athlon64 2800+ (no SSE3) Mobility Radeon 9700 128mb 80gb 4200 RPM (I used a 6gb that I took from an old laptop to try this out) Broadcom Wireless G - BCM4306 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit LAN (don't know the model number) 4in 1 memory card reader bluetooth DVD burner AC97 sound firewire Here's what works and doesn't: works: bluetooth memory card reader it reconizes that its has a DVD burner, havn't tried to bun a DVD though the sound is choppy but I can hear something come out of the speakers USB firewire doesn't work: wired NIC PCMCIA quartz extream (of course) stable sound (iTunes crashes when its about to play a song) wireless, although I have gotten OSX to reconize the card using this guide: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=1263 OSX reports the card as bing turned off I think this may have something to do with the fact that the laptop has 2 buttons on the front to turn on and off wireless and bluetooth. In windows I installed a utility that works with the buttons and they display a message on screen when bluetooth or wireless turns on/off. I think the memory card reader and bluetooth devices are just USB devices connected directly to the motherboard, because I can turn on/off bluetooth while in OSX. The wireless card I think depends on that utility tp turn on because I only get a wireless connection after I login to windows when that utility starts up. Since I don't need to login to AD, its never been a problem. However, I think I may have to modify the driver to turn on the card, or write a seperate program to handle that. I'm still researching the problem. To install I imaged the drive with dd and deleted all of the intel and ati kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klapi Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I have the same laptop (with mac osx 10.4.7 JAS installed) Detailed specs: http://laptop.bug-nordic.org/laptop.php?id=17 Works, though not out of the box: Gfx (ATI Radeon 9700 - qe/ci can be fixed with callisto and editing the ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin info.plist so it uses callisto as provider ) Sound (AC 97 though only left channel - choppy problem can be fixed by setting output to 48khz instead of 44khz) EDIT 2: got stereo working by using "Unstable Connection"'s patched kext: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=4574 DVD (read and write) Bluetooth Cardbus USB (2.0 i'm pretty sure) Firewire Doesn't work: Modem (though I've read it's possible to get it to work, yet.. i dont care i use bluetooth phone instead) Ethernet (I've searched high and low but I don't think it's possible. Prove me wrong please ) Wireless (I will try your steps and see if it works for me too) PCMCIA (well... at least usb works ) So only thing bothering me is the ethernet not working - I have a DWL-G122 for wireless. but if i can get the built in to work i would be thankful I'll update when there comes new info! EDIT: Wifi works also in 10.4.7 with http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11856. Thanks for the Wi-fi tip bartman101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
