[elalan5]

Good!! lets hope everything goes well

[jasonf]

everything is working now except for the mouse cursor and the trackpad. I followed the directions for the cursor, but I'm unsure what to do next.

no clue on trackpad

[IM_3LITE]

for the trackpad have you checked out this tutorial on this forum?

I'm on my first boot after the combo update and amd and chameleon. Its stuck at the apple logo screen with the spinning wheels. Is it really this long? The wheels are turning but its been a while now.

Its been 30 minutes and its just spinning slowly. I did whats written here, the combo updater, do not restart, the amd kernel patch, and the chameleon. But after restarting, it's just stuck there

[IM_3LITE]

maybe try booting of of Empire EfiÉ

What I reccomend you is to boot on Verbose mode,when the chameleon boot screen comes up, type "-v" without the quotes, and then tellme what happens.

Still nothing. Ive got the Gateway NV5378u, is that the same as yours?

I think I have to re-do everything. Just a question, why do you have to do the combo upgrade and amd kernel patch?

well when i made the guide, i couldnt find a kernel for 10.6, so you wouldnt have to boot with empire efi, but i bearly found the right kernel HERE....if you ant to start again, do it....and then just skip the combo upgrade and the kernel patch and install the files on the link.

Oh yes, mine is the NV5378u, they are the same

Okay Ill let you know. YOU ARE THE BEST! Thanks a lot.

Also, I found out something, when you edit the info.plist file of the radeon kext, you have to rebuild the cache again using kext utility before you restart, otherwise its still a block of colors.

Ill let you know how it goes after i redo everything

[elalan5]

IM 3LITE, yours is the same as ours...im pretty sure, and yes download the kernel i just posted.... i will modify the guide once both of you tell me you have been succesful... and also i changed both the Empire Efi links, just download the one i linked right now.

jemisec1: oh yeah sorry about that i forgot u had to do that, i ll modify the guide once the both of you are done installing it.... so was your install succesful?

[IM_3LITE]

mines a NV5370h not NV5378u, i dont know if that matters thou (hopefully not)

The minimize and open animations seem a little choppy, is it really that way with the latest from dong's script?

Also, did you get the touch volume controls to work? It works, but I cant seem to lower the volume without going to the system prefs.

yeah, thats something else, the touch buttons work, but to lower the audio you have to lower it through system preferences..... so you were succesfull? did the kernel work?

And the animationsa re choppy since our video card doesn,t support QE/CI which is need to do alot of animation stuff in Mac OSX

hey so i just need that kernel now? i dont need to have that combo updater, cause i dont see it going from a 400mb file down to only needing 4mb?

yeah you dont need the combo updater, i just updated the guide... just download the kernel i posted butwait a little bit becaus ei have to change it a litttle bit, i had to rename the kernel to just be able to drag and drop..... download the kernel from HERE... when u install it just drag and drop it into the rrot of your Snow LEo HDD and click replace when prompted
