Tutorial in VIDEO!
UPDATED: Select Network > Atheros > The first one during the installtion!

Hopefully you installed Wifi during the setup. Once you got it, go to http://www.tonymacx86.com/ Go to Download Section and download multi beast. Then open it.

What works?
-Graphic
-Mouse/Keyboard = Trackpad/Keyboard
-USB
-Fast Speed
-Audio
-Wi-fi
What does not work?
-External/VGA
- and more. Check solutions if it’s related.

Spoiler

Keyboard (CTRL) - Press WINDOWS ICON and any letters
Trackpad - Download Kexts from
For clicking on trackpad? For mouse/trackpad, try running this package and go to Preferences > trackpad > Check Clickiing
Wifi - You download download the Atheros Axxx85 in the installtion.
Sound - Download 2.7.3. Install it. Then go to System > Library > Exttensions > Delete the APPLEHDA (to prevent Kernal Panic). Then scroll down until you see VoodooHDA, right click it and go into the app content. Then open info list, CTRL + F = iGain. Then put iGain to Zero. To prevent loud sound. Fix permissions and reboot it.

So you don't have to install the kexts.

So, I take that your Asus is NOT an AMD machine?

[iRanbirHD]

NO it is not AMD. it is INTEL.

How did you get the trackpad working?

Hi,

I followed your guide and everything works flawlessly. Thank you very much for your guide.

I have only one thing to know, its about rboot LE CD.So is there any chance that I could boot normally from my mac disk without CD.

Please advice.


Many Thanks in Advance

Hi Ranbir,

Firstly Thanks for your reply.

Sorry,I forgot to update here that my laptop is running flawlessly with which I copied and merged all the EXTRA folder contents (including hidden files) of rboot LE CD to my MAC disk EXTRA folder.

Before this I tried chimera install by checking at iatkos L2 installation window, but it didn't work for me. Anyways I will try your solution for next job.

The only bugs i have at the moment are...
1. Shutdown (after shutdown still have to do long press to turnoff completely).
2. Sleep (freezes)
3. Laptop battery power management icon (not showing)

I tried ACPI kexts install, but every time I install it gives me bugs like missing sound/USB.

Many Thanks.
