Hey there everyone, I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

So pretty much, my problem is that Flash player or any other graphics intensive "thing" (such as OpenGL games, like SecondLife) causes my machine to lag. If I switch to a different window, there is a lot of lag when I type into iChat or anything else. Minimizing helps fix the problem, but isn't really a great solution for me.

Here's my setup:
OS X Lion 10.7.2
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte H55M-S2V mobo
VoodooHD Audio (installed with ######)
Nvidia GT520 using Graphics Enabler in Chameleon
Dual monitors (DVI and VGA)

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks!

Hello,

I've spent the past 6 hours modifying kexts and so on to get my Cisco AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 PC Card to work. I was wondering if someone had any ideas that I haven't tried. Here's the computer I am dealing with:

IBM ThinkPad T30
Intel Pentium 4
256MB RAM
ATI 7500 Mobility
JaS OSx86 10.4.8 Installation

Now, don't get me wrong. For the age of this machine, 10.4.8 is a great choice in my opinion. Everything is working (including QE), except for the WiFi card. I've been modifying the IO80211Family kext for the most part, as it contains AirPortAtheros5424.kext. I've added the following under "IONameMatch" in "/System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist":

<string>pci161,13</string>
<string>pci168c,cb21</string>

I also changed the device location from en0 to en1 in "/Library/SystemConfiguration/networkinterfaces.plist" (as well as the integer from 0 to 1) so the device wouldn't get mistaken as my onboard LAN.

I also have "IOPCCardFamily.kext" and "IOPCIFamily.kext" loaded.

Now, upon reboot (and after repairing permissions on the volume), the system detects the device. It alerts me that a new AirPort device has been found, la da da. So when I go to configure it (click on the WiFi icon on the system bar), the whole machine freezes. It appears to only do this when it searches for networks, as it did that when I tried selecting a network in System Prefrences.

Any ideas what to do here? I'm trying to avoid buying anything (easy solution) to resolve this. I am thinking maybe downgrading to version 1.0 of this kext (I'm using 1.2, according to System Profiler) from 10.4.5 (This is when Atheros was officially supported, correct?) may help, but I have no copy of that specific kext and can't seem to find one.

Sorry for the bad grammar... it's 4:19AM over here and I'm tired! Many thanks!

Hi there,
I'm really not sure how to describe my problem. I am on 10.5.5 (Yeah, I know. Old. I'm on old hardware ). So I got everything installed, and everything looks good. I boot up the system for the first time, and Quartz Extreme is enabled! Thats wonderful to me. So I open a finder window, move it... and then it "streaks" everywhere. I have attatched a picture.

Here's my specs:
IBM ThinkCentre 8416-KUG (Old)
DVD-ROM drive
BFG nVidia 8400 GS PCI 512MB DDR2 Device ID: 0x06e4 Revision ID: 0x00a1 (Using VGA)
Leopard  10.5.5 iDeneb with NVinject 0.2.1
HP S2031 Monitor
Pentium 4  Processor (DIdn't think it would work, but it did!)
AC97 Audio

When I  boot with integrated graphics, I don't have this problem. The problem with that is, there are no kexts for it. I am running an extremely old integrated GPU that isn't even supported. I also don't have this problem booting with -x on the boot prompt.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
