Ridgeline  hello, whether it is when I add a widget shows the waves, that means  I'm having acceleration but does not show OpenCL / QE / CI

Thought someone from this thread might want to try my dsdt for g41m-es2l

Basic speed step for and core2, you don't need to configure it but will only give basic highest and lowest.

Lots of other fixes everything working including auto sleep.
all unnecessary devices removed, NO PS2
audio only works with kext from 10.6.2 or older.

Included DSDT with nvidia graphics and a DSDT with no graphics
Only 2 kexts in Extra folder legacy alc888b and fakesmc

Thanks Ianxxx!

I'll pack it in the G41M pack as soon as I'm back home.

Hi guys, really thanks for your efforts. You really do amazing work.

I have an old PC with Pentium D processor and old Gigabyte mobo (dont' remember the model) running Leopard 10.5.7 (setup done by iDeneb distro) as a test. I'm planning to build the following PC and use your guide:

- GA-G41MT ES2L mobo.
- Processor E7500 (C2Duo 2.9/3 L2) OR E8400 (C2Duo 3.0/6 L2) still not sure which to choose.
- 4GB Kingestone DDR2 OR DDR3. Depending on the Cash I have
- I already have an old nVidia 6200 video card that works great on 10.5.7. but near I will grab an 9400 or 9500 one.
- 640GB WD SATA HD (already have)
- SAMSUNG SATA DVD drive (already have and works great with 10.5.7)
- I use a TP-Link USB stick for WiFi (working good with 10.5.7) using this driver (RT73_1.1.1.0)


My questions:

- Is this build really stable and considered as an alternative for real mac (I'm talking about iMac, Mac pro is far expensive for me now), since I'm planning to use it in graphic and web design purposes (Adobe photoshop, illustrator and dreamweaver)... etc, Not just for fun.

- Will I need any other driver/kext for the WiFi USB stick to get it work on SL 10.6.xxxx ?

- What I should to do to get my old 6200 video card work, just until I bought a new 9400/9500 one? is there any suggested setting or needed drivers or kexts?


Any idea or suggestiones will be appreciated. Thanks guys

Guys I ran into a stupid problem. I accidentally installed myHack into my hard drive (where the os boots from). Now boot file is messed up and my mac mini does not boot up from hard drive partition 1 even after reinstall. I have important data on other partitions so I don't want to format the entire hard drive. Could someone give me a solution please?

Some comments:

1) I don't think the 6200 gfx card will work under snow leopard in 64 bit mode. It may work in 32 bit mode. If you are willing to buy a new gfx card, go with the 9500 as it will work out of the box with Ridgeline's post installer.

2) Unless the motherboard has something you need, I would stay with the G41M-ES2L. That is the one that is known to work with the DSDTs in Ridgeline's post-installer. It may be that the two boards are similar enough that things will work out, but I don't know anyone that has tried it.

3) I think Ridgeline also uses the TP-Link for his wifi. His post-installer has an option for installing a driver for it.

I have built 3 systems on this motherboard and they are all rock solid. I use one of them everyday, use another one as a server.

The hac you are building will run the Adobe suite of applications just fine.

Good luck,

Just want to chime in that there is a new revision of G41M-ES2L, rev, 1.4.

I ordered this MB from NewEgg two weeks ago and on the box it says Rev 1.4 with F9 Bios.

There are some differences -
The LAN chipset is now 8111E, so the existing G41M guides's drivers wouldn't work.  I've downloaded the 8111E kext from this thread, and placed it at /E/E.  It's working perfectly now.

The sound codec is also different.  I haven't been able to get the onboard audio to work using the existing guides, so for now I am just using USB sound.  I haven't dug too deep into it yet, but it seems like it's a 887.

Wake from USB2(ECHI) devices are not working - I am not sure if this is also a symptom of previous revs, but I've been able to get it to work by applying MM67's DSDT patch.

Auto sleep isn't working.  It might be because I have e6600, using ridgel1ne's generic dsdt.  I will look into this - or maybe I'll just try out chameleon rc5 to auto detect c and p-states.

I'm having trouble getting this method to work on my G41MT-ES2L

It gets stuck on the Preparing Installation... screen, no matter what I do I cant get past it.  Any ideas?
