Actually in most Winds you have to change the WiFi card as the one shipped does not work in OS X. It's best to swap in something like the Dell 1500 which is a Wireless-N card.

weaksauce12 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Great news !!! Headphone jack works ..... http://forums.msiwind.net/mac/news-headpho...orks-t4854.html Hah, that's awesome! Thanks for posting a link to that! Now if we could just get rid of that pesky boot resolution bug (800x600 or 1024x768 instead of 1024x600 on some boots) it will be golden!

U.C. Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Just use SwitchResX. It works perfect. Its 1024x600 each n everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelbb Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have never seen any pesky boot resolution bug or needed to use SwitchResX. Just use the graphics kext referenced in my tutorial. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry942293 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpet Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Having recently had my VAIO laptop stolen, I recently purchased this baby as an on the go replacement (until I can afford a Macbook Pro), and I am very satisfied. I ended up getting the $350 U100-420US that Best Buy has. Boot-132 installed onto an 8 gig flash drive to test, then formatted and installed to the HD from the flash drive. I then used an MSI Wind package I found here, so its not 100% true vanilla, but very close. Im using a Kensington micro USB receiver for bluetooth and have a Dell 1500n card ordered and on its way to replace the non-working (as of now at least) Realtek wireless card. The only thing that I need to do is to get one more gig of RAM and install that wireless card when it arrives. I totally recommend this baby.

d2theaher69 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 okay so ive searched tons of places. but i have two questions. today i bought a Msi Wind Netbook U100-420US. i wanted to know how to find out what wireless card i have without opening my netbook. (is that possible?) and also do any of the msi winds have osx compatable wireless cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FavleX Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Yes, with new drivers everything works ok with resolution even without flag on boot.plst...At least for me:D Wait! Igot a correct resolution on system running, I was meaning I got the apple stretched during boot time...Do u got it correct ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dent Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have msi wind running full retail setup using method with boot132 and munky efi partiton method running with all updates done from apple everything runs smoothly however i hear that using upcoming voodoo kernel will increase performance on it and removes need for coolbook. more to come rc1 is on its way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelbb Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 i wanted to know how to find out what wireless card i have without opening my netbook. (is that possible?) Device manager should give you some idea. Failing that Everest (Google for this) will give a full hardware breakdown. and also do any of the msi winds have osx compatable wireless cards? Apparently some have a somewhat compatible WiFi card, most have a totally incompatible card. Not to detract from any of the wonderful work & information here on InsanelyMac but there is a specialist OSX on MSI Wind forum that is full of noobies with noobish questions answered there OS X on MSI Wind Froum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucard_xs Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 hi dudes, IT seems I can not install parallels desktop 4.0, it gives me error about virtualisation not supported on my wind, can someone try ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadrkside40 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 i wanted to know how to find out what wireless card i have without opening my netbook. (is that possible?) Look at the Sticker on the bottom of your Wind, in the near of the FCC Sign there should be a hint which wifi Chipset is in youre Wind (Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom (BCM)) IT seems I can not install parallels desktop 4.0, it gives me error about virtualisation not supported on my wind, can someone try ? Maybe it is because the Atom Processor in the MSI Wind dosent support any Virtualisation features, like the Core2Dou's in normal Macs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this message is in twice, I replied last night and it doesn't seem to be here. Anyway, I tried this file and it too works on my new Wind. The problem is the utility comes up every time the machine boots up and it doesn't find my network. I have to turn off/on the radio via the advanced tab to get it to see my network. Do you have the same issue? Note that I installed via the MSIWIND osx install dvd and not with 123boot and retail, so I'm running 10.5.4 Thanks!
