carpao Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 How did you get the audio to work? I tried the AppleHDAPatcher 1.15, but it didn't work for me. uhm... it worked for me... i used a codec log directly from my computer... where did you get your log? from internet? they didn't work for me too... If you don't have the possiblity to get it directly from your computer I can try to give mine to you... BTW the computer profile say no audio, but in the prefpane it is presented and the speakers work let me know... do you have teh M400? did you try to work with the external monitor and LC together? do you have problems?

DerDude Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Ok, I had the time to install OSX 10.4.8 - and it runs. Now I need to get comfy with OSX - it's a bit strange, but very cool. Graphics works - with full 1400x1050 resolution. Sound not Wireless not Ethernet - don't know. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the battery symbol to show up? Edit: Ok, found out how to boot windows. But now OSX won't boot. Naaaah! More later. Edited March 1, 2007 by DerDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have the possiblity to get it directly from your computer I can try to give mine to you... I used the log you posted. I will try later to create a log from Linux, maybe it will work. do you have teh M400? did you try to work with the external monitor and LC together? do you have problems? I haven't tried with an external monitor yet. I will try it soon and let you know. Right now I downgraded BIOS to 1.8W because 3.3 was too loud, but OS X does not boot anymore with 1.8W. When I put 3.3 back I will try the sound and external monitor / LCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Ok, found out how to boot windows. But now OSX won't boot. Naaaah! More later. I have not much time now... however Ethernet should work out of the box WIreless no hope at the moment (some people is working on that) Sound (look for HDA PATCHER) I'll post my codec this evening if needed Battery... yes there is a patch http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=14912 Sleep ... be carefull that if you close your lid probably osx goes into sleep and doesn't wake up... at the moment I istalled http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=13830 so that it don't go to sleep, but there is some work (i didn't tested at the moment) on a new semthek kernel that should support sleep and speedstep for the bluetooth there is a post in this thread that points to the kext to install about the tabletmagic there should be out on the tabletmagic site the RC3 DUAL BOOT... to make a dual boot, there are several possibilities (some are to used when you are installing...)... so what is your situation now? I'm using GRUB... but if you have WINXP installed probably the simplest solution at the moment is to use se chain0 methods inside the boot.ini file... look for these keywords in the forum (or google) and you'll find the solution... ask me (later) if you have problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerDude Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) My solution is using the F8 key at bootup and selecting the Windows partition. Works quite good. Sadly, I've destroyed my OSX install and must reinstall. Which driver for the internal graphics card do I need to select? The GMA900 or the GMA950? I think all new Core Duo notebooks have GMA950, but this just gave me an error so I deleted the kext and now strange color stripes appear instead of the nice looking desktop. But oh well, one can't have everything, right? EDIT: Oh, and I think Ethernet works, but hadn't have the chance to test it out Edited March 4, 2007 by DerDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor5 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Carpao, I would love to have sound on my M400 could you tell me the procedure you've used to get a codec dump with a linux distro (I have Ubuntu)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegfried Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 no... both (since BIOS change) What upgrade package did you use for 10.4.9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpao Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 What upgrade package did you use for 10.4.9? I made it manually... (started with paulicat instructions and then downgrade some packages to previous version) however I must confess that I am not wholly happy... because sometime I have some application crash ... probably after a whole cloning of the hard disk I'll make a second try. Added note: yesterday all day and no application or system crash... and I used it all the day intensively... Yesterday I didn't use so much the ntfs partitions and thus I suspect that some problems could be just from the MacFUSE (2.2) and NTFS-3G...

carpao Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Some note on TEmperature: My M400 is very often very hot. I use Temperature Monitor and it reacehd the 100C I didn't succeded with ACPIThrottle. Now sopmetimes I use speedit 1.0 preview 3 (for 10.4.9) It loads and should give throttling ... but in my case it seems to to me that it fixes the frequency to 1Ghz, but it is enough! I use it when my PC becomes too hot... (in idle state with speedit loaded the temperature is 42-45 C) If you don't use very intensive program you didn't note the reduction in speed. And it is always possible to kextunload it to return to the previous state. I hope that this is useful to other too... I didn't check the improvement in battery life.

spadge Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Does the internal display work or do you have to hook up an external monitor?

carpao Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Just to say ... "happy kalyway" to all of you... I installed Leopard and it works very well... sleep, monitor, network,... the only missing thing is a way to have a minimal control on the CPU freq (with tiger I used speedit to drop the freq at 1Ghz if needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio can be fixed using AppleHDA patcher 1.20 and the Sigmatel file I mentioned earlier in this thread. However, I am unable to get the Bluetooth module recognised.

Carpao have you found a solution? 1) for the audio you meand the speaker and the headphone right? no mic or input line support... 2) I used the old ToshACPI.kext and it works for me... did you try to load it ? sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/ToshACPI.kext let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't load it properly. Thank you! Bluetooth now works Yes Audio fix is for speakers and headphone only. Carpao have you installed the powermanagement.bundle from Tiger.

Spadge I have a very old and ruined battery (10 minutes left more or less... not only in OSX) so I didn't care to get again the battery icon... however I think that the trick to use however did you try http://www.orange-carb.org/SBM/index.html ? installing it in tiger solved the problem to me... but I don't know if it works in leopard... what is the average temperature of your CPUS?
