Ok this is hard to believe as I just released Leo4Allv3 and many are still downloading, but I have decided already to make a permenant patch. There are a few things I would like to do, one big one is not using efi on the install disk. I will also add an option to install without efi(hopefully I can figure out a better way to do this than my current setup) This will help alot of people out with the instant reboots. There is roughly 150MB of space so if you have some specific driver you would like to see added, or some other option now is your chance. Please be very specific in your requests. I need the actual kext if its for support, or a package if there are multiple files is fine too(please do not post a link to some long thread expecting me to find it!). I need to know specifically what the kext supports.

A good example would be:

Hey I would like to see an additional option for GMA950 with the attached kext. This provides QE/CI/Resolution without visual glitches. I have tested this on my own card(If its limited to 1 device ID please state that along with the Device ID).

Do not include codec dumps for soundcards, there are too many of them and many barely work. I will probably not include all of them if there is a lot of responses, but will included what I can for widest support. If a driver on the current DVD is not working, but you found a version that does please note which one did not work for you.

If there is a specific application(it must be small) that is a must have for you, that would also be a valid request.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hi Eddie, thanks for your great work and I am very exciting with your new v3. I have your Leo4all v2 installed, everything works fine and the only problem is my pci Intel Pro/1000 MT desttop adapter, the chipset it uses is 82540EM, the embedded Intel 8254x kext does not work with this card, the network setting reports the presence of this card, but it says "Cable Unplugged", however, it can get ip and router address, and even can go web-browsing, but will hang up the system. Is there anything you can do with this?

Eddie, I'll send you it in a day or so if you want but the ICH9 kexts actually have a small fix to get rid of the Orange drives, not the "fix" from Tiger but an additional one. If you want me to patch it and then send you the kexts, just shoot me a PM or post here.

The fix for Orange drivers is not really a fix at all. When drives have ACHI enabled they are meant to be hot swappable, changing the drive color means nothing. This can easily be done inside Leopard if you don't like orange drives. Additionally I did include candybar in the applications for those that can't be bothered to copy and paste to the drive.

It's a small code addition to Blockstorage, a plugin within IOAHCIFamily.

I would love it if I didn't have to pull one of my sticks of memory when installing but other than that I'm fine so far and I even played Quake4 demo and downloaded and played a .mkv vid off of bt.
My Bittney icons still look great.

Is there anything that can be done about the GMA950 to remove the twitching cursor?
I fear not...

Are the 10.5.2 graphics kexts in Leo4Allv3 the latest? The NVinstaller .41 apparently has newer kexts that come with the new Macbook Pros.

The reason I ask is because I have a GeForce 7950GTX Go in my laptop, and it only works with this newer kext set along with a test build of nvInject (the NVinject.0.2.1_GoTest2.zip file in *this* thread). I tried Leo4Allv3 without the NVinstaller .41, using just the nvInject, and it did not work.

Thats not true. There really is a fix for this. It defines the SATA drives as internal devices which then don't get external hotswappable icons.

I just switched from v2 to v3, and for the most part everything works wonderfully. But if I use the installer on the DVD for my nVidia 8800gts 640mb, the screen blanks out after going thru the verbose boot (this after the install and on my actually OS boot). But if I install without the nVidia drivers and then install the kexts and NVinject using NVInstallerV.41, it works fine. I don't know what the difference is causing the problem. Its only a minor issue since everything works for me in the long run, but I thought I'd point it out in case its a simple fix.

So you say, my drives are internal, but I can open the side and hot swap them still.... This is just a matter of perspective I guess.

Are they on the inside?

Well post the patch and I will add as an option for those that must have...

I still cant get my onboard ethernet to work so I stick with my usb adapter.
I have a Marvell 88E1116 .

Hi eddie11c,

I would like to see an additional option for uli526x NIC driver (PCGenUli526xEthernet.kext). I am using this driver on ASUS K8U-X motherboard with AMD Sempron CPU. Here is the link (Post #17):

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry274469

Thanks in advance and look forward to your Non-EFI installation disk.

Chun-Nan

P.S.
I have revised AppleSMBIOS-27 source code (combined with AppleSMBIOS-4) to make it work both on EFI and Non-EFI system. I am using it on ASUS K8U-X with Non-EFI system. You can take a look.

hi eddie11c,

that's nice. In short: look at XxX 10.4.11, that's what I would call a 99% perfect install DVD!

What I would like to see above all are:
1) orbyte's PCGen kext in the DVD mkext and in the installer options (mkext so one can install to USB)
2) Master Chun-Nan kexts in the installer options

you find the links in my sig

Thanks,
Bugs

Never used XxX DVD but I definately agree with those two kexts, essential for laptop users!

can u add macvidia support for those having shared cards or inbuilt cards....

could you please fix the hibernation feature for notebooks
also notebook powermanagement all around
Thanks so much,bigcid10

Zillion thanks Eddie11c.

I´d like support for the ALC268 sound driver. I don´t know the kext, but I can give you the installer that works, downloaded from this forum.

Secondly, my Zydas USB dongle does not work with the option from leo4allv3, but it does with this small app I´m uploading.

Next some feedback from your previous release, my nvidia card is 8600m gt 512ddr2, the dev id is included in leo4allv3 release notes, but it doesn´t work. dev id 0407. I always have to install nvinstaller v33 (latest nvinstaller v41 inhibits correct shutdown). My question is why is it not possible that this card works flawlessly right out of the box, been almost a clone of the MacBook´s?

Also I´d like this app installed, its freeware and shows the temp of my hard drive and two cores, since it´s bigger than 2 megs I copy the download link:
http://www.bresink.eu/Downloads/TemperatureMonitor.dmg

This other tool is really helpful to find anything in OSX, its called Quicksilver.

My worst concern though is overheating my laptop, I need a way to control my fan because nothing seems to work, I need a bundle that works.

Thanks for your time and efforts, do what you can.

Compal IFL90. Sager 2090. Ahtec fl90....BTO...Powerbook....and many more clones.

Hi there. I was just posting to give you some device/vendor IDs for my hardware. (Azalia sound video card, SATA and IDE, etc, etc.) I'm not sure if it was you, eddie, who downloaded my sysinfo.txt from my forum topic... But just so it's all in one neat little file instead of spread out over a huge page, here you go.Click to view attachment

I tried finding a kext out there for my ATI chipset, but I didn't have any luck. I did however get a chip number for the 0x438c ID. It's identified as an ATI RD/RS600, not SB... Also, I just wanted to double-check if you have complete support for the AMD 690G Northbridge chip.

Thanks, and keep it up!

Hi,

I would vote for the nforce 2/3/4/5 kext from V2. Since I can't get both version of nforce kext working with V3.

Thanks.

I dont know if this is appropriate topic or not, but it would be very nice to optimize for the Asus EeePC, i have try to install Leo4allv3 but it got hang up. would be very appreciated to make it work.

thanks

OK just an update, I have the non EFI version installing now on my old P4 laptop. Will not have more time to play with it until tomorrow night most likely. I will take all request into consideration. I was looking at the USBGen kext, but did not see a link for the version of IOUSBFamily needed. If you have this could you post it for me here? Aslo have yet to see the AHCI orange color drive patch that was talked about earlier. If you have this patch please post it for me so I don't have to waste alot of time searching for it.

Thanks in advance!

I can post the code for you or I can give you my edited kext, PM me if you want the edited kext. Here is the code:

Go to the extension directory for IOAHCIFamily. Inside you will find a plugin called IOAHCIBlockStorage. Edit this plist.

Search for IOAHCIDevice. After it you will want to insert:



Note that you insert it directly after IOAHCIDevice, not after /dict or something like that, directly after it.

Credits for this fix go to Dense.

Almost there, take a look

this ICH8-R kext loads the ProuctID for Dell XPS410(Dimension 9200) to start in Raid mode not AHCI mode
if you would like to add the Id to your AppleAHCIPort.kext that would be nice:

<key>ICH8RAHCI</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort</string>
<key>Chipset Name</key>
<string>ICH8-R AHCI</string>

Great thanks! Now I just have to get a couple drivers in order and this will be ready for testing.

I agree with Sticman.

I posted this same ICH8R fix back in November.
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...86&hl=ich8r

It would be nice to see it added to the distros

It would also be nice to see the tulip ethernet driver in the distros. This has been working since 10.4.3 but never gets included. Use the Tulip 1.2 as it has the most device ids.

Dogbert's CMI8738 sound driver still works in Leopard.
Use the 10.4.8 version -- you can download it here.

hi eddie.
i already asked this, but i guess i was late for the v3.
the problem is my radeon 3870 (by gigabyte, device 9501, vendor 1002) works only with triakis driver package, and not with the newer natits.
there are a few more users i chatted with on irc who had the same problem.
new lamna natit for some reason works only for some 3850 and 3870's, not all.
triakis package works fine when installed after leopard graphics update - if applied after triakis, leo graphics update breaks qe/ci.
it would be nice to have it on the dvd for those unlucky users like me.

once again, thank you for devoting your time and efforts into this.
respect.

wait for 200 fixes in 10.5.3?

Synaptics Support with scrolling would be great.

this will give notebook users with Keyboard issues, Synapticspads scrolling, tapping etc AND Powermanagement with batterymeter!

@ Eddie11c

Kind of a little off topic but...

Some of us are working on getting our HP tx1000/tx2000 series tablets up and running with your v2 release (the v3 seems to have some unknown issue booting on the hardware sometimes) in this thread. There has been some talk about creating our own disk with your v2 as a base to start from. Wondering if you would be inclined to share with me your "voodoo" and let me know how you create your install disks?

Either way, thanks for a GREAT contribution to the community!

With Leo4AllV3, I

1. have tried but failed many times to get a BETTER THAN 1024x768 LCD screen resolution on a Sony Vaio VGN-FE45G/W, the built-in video card is Nvidia GeForce 7600Go 256MB.
2. as usual, can't get 'Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ABG' wi-fi to work, I don't think there is a current fix for it. This is not as important as the nvidia 7600GO issue, as the Intel Pro/100VE works fine.

Thanks.

Model: SONY VAIO VGN-FE45G/W
CPU: Intel C2D T5600 1.8GHz
RAM: 2GB DDR2 667MHz
Video: NVidia GeForce 7600GO 256MB (vendor-10de, Device-0398) (can't get better than 1024x res.)
NIC: Intel Pro / 100VE
Wifi: Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG (does not work)
Sound: Sigmatel HD Audio (does not work as well)

7600 series cards are rather problematic. I personally own an msi 7600gt, I went through living hell before I got it working, but it works now . Inserting device and vendor ids into 3 kexts and installing an injector did the trick

Eddie, is there any chance to bring support for AMD 790fx chipset & Phenom?

TIA

there is something, that i've so far only seen in Kalyway, it's an input option for keyboard, called "français pc", that put your keyboard like a french pc keyboard. Including that in your update could be great for every french user.
thanks!

eddie11c


Just sort the reboot issue on my AMD and I'd be very happy


Thanks!

Hi Eddie,
It's still impossible to boot from VIA6421-connected SATA drives. It would be fantastic
if you can do something to help so many FSC Amilo users. Anyway thanks for Leo4Allv3,
It's working perfect on my desktop. Keep it going.

Screwed up my Leo4AllV3

And powermanagement with battery meter was working. Just synaptics won't work. And I'm missing the mouse and keyboard settings with Leo4AllV3 release under System Configurations.

7600go isn't problematic at all, select Nvinject Go and it should be good to go. If all else fails, use EFI string and make it yourself using gfxutil and IORegistryExplorer, really not that hard.

Hi Eddie, Finally yr v3 with swap old Nforce kext recognized my laptop' HD (it is Nforce 560 chipsets), but the problem is It can't format the HD. I try to fomat it but few second or about minus the screen become grabage or gray collor and the system hang. Do you know what happend and how to fix it? Thx alot!

when can we expect the final version?

I have included some of the requests already, but have been really busy lately. Hopefully I will have more time next few days to go over everything again. The problem with the 560 chipset is it seems to be using AHCI but this is currently not supported causing it to freeze whenever you try to write to the drive. I have been testing a number of things, I will keep you updated if I find a way to work around this.

Hey eddie11c,

Thanks for working on the non-efi version. If you need a tester, I am ready to oblige.

I would suggest to include the upcoming 5.3 Update.

V3 is running just fine right now. for me and many others. You did a great job!

I think you don't (and schouldn't) hurry so much.

This is a BEAUTIFUL recommendation post. That is exactly what it should look like, a link to the file or an attachment.

Now here comes my request, I saw someone else said this but I have more to add.

I would love it if you could add support for MacVidia using a specific driver. Version 1.0.7 specifically.

Here is a link to download it and I will attach it.

http://rapidshare.com/files/65448683/NVDriver107.zip

The reason I would like this is because so far it is the only one that remotely support the Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 on-board video card.

Thanks so much for all you have done and how receptive you are to criticism. If only more people would be as dedicated as you.
