bjorndewolf Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hi all, After a being a very happy Dell Latitude d620 hackint0sh user the last few years I had to replace my ol' pall with a new Laptop since my LCD's bckligt broke down. I bought me a Dell inspiron 15 n5050 i5-2450 / 4gb / HD3000 gfx / 500gb hdd. I've managed to get Lion 10.7.2 booting on my new laptop. But still have couple of things that wont work... Maybe someone can point me in the right direction in resolving these problems. My Touchpad is not detected after installation. I've tried voodoops2 but without success. Keyboard works and external usb mouse also works, just no trackpad... My n5050 has a alps trackpad, but i can't figure out how to get it detected... Also I can't figure out how to get my wifi working. According to windows it's a "Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter" and Dell says it's a "dell 1703 802.11b/g/n" VenID/DevID 168c:0032 Who could give me some advise? Any help is welcome!

bjorndewolf Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 @husaber Thanks for the reply. Tried them both, but without success. I couldn't get the wireless card working. My solution was ordering an Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB92 Half PCI-E Wireless Card 300M through Ebay. It arrived by mail today. Swapped the original card with the Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB92 one and as expected it was detected OOB. So a very cheap hardware fix: $10,50 in total. Trackpad keeps buggin' me a bit though. Using a modified voodoops2controller kext for Alps from Projectosx.com (google it, not sure if i'm allowed to link to it here) I managed to get my trackpad to be detected as a "normal" mouse. Still, i'd love to be able to get side scrolling / multi finger scrolling working. For the time being I found out that when I click and hold the left + right mouse button simultanioualy and swipe over the trackpad it scrolls. Not very elegant but works better than using the scollbars. I've been trying to figure out what the model (deviceID etc) of my trackpad it is but I can't find it. Does anyone know how I can find out what exact model the alps trackpad is? Some linux/windows/osx tool I don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
