So I've finally gathered everything I think!!

 

- Msi Wind OK

- MsiWindosx86.iso OK

- 1 extra Gig of DDR 667 OK

- Dell 1490 Mini PCIe OK

- Switched house and alt OK

- Apple Sticker on the back of the screen OK

 

Am I missing something before I OSX it?

You're having so many problems with your installation because you're not using the custom disk

For me kalyway 10.5.2 worked as well as the retail dvd install method (on a medion akoya). Only problem with the retail method was that it refused to install to an MBR formatted hd, so I had to install to a USB GUID drive and then clone the system to the built in hd.

Hello

 

I install a Multiboot in my MSI WIND

I use GRUB for loader

 

Windows XP SP3 : all works very good

 

Ubuntu 8.04 : all works very good

 

Kalyway 10.5.2 : all works :

Wifi : I replace the origin card by an Apple Wifi CARD Macbook pro, It's works and I have the led in the task bar.

Sound : I use AZALIA but I don't have sound IN. I tried AppleHDAPatcher with a Codec_dump from MSI WIND (Suse Linux) but I didn't have sucess.

 

IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE SOUND, I HEARD YOU !!!

THANKS !!!

Hi!!

I've an answer for you... I have Leopard 10.5.4 installed on my msi wind, and all works fine enough but.................

all the games I tried worked at a lower resolution taking only 2/3 of the screen, and lefting the right 1/3 blank..

Can you help me to configure another graphic resolution, in order to have the game taking all the screen?

 

Many thanks to all!!!

Not really, coz they are working at 800x600. I would disable Full Screen, or figure out a way to use 1024x600 in the game.

[danibyte27]

Ok, thanks for your reply.. But then, why the 1024x600 doesn't work on Windows XP too, and works perfectly on Windows Vista??

It's a strange thing... Do you think it's the driver?

[i.wanna.corndog]

Do you guys think it would be possible to get an OS X compatible USB sound card and then to solder the connections to allow the integrated mic and headphone ports to work? I may have to give this a shot.

[U.C.]

Why not just solder wires from the speakers, onto the existing sound jacks?

 

I am too scared to try that. Warranty n all.

I can't cahnge Mhz in CoolBook 2,9((( How i can register it or how does it work?

[BrokenMonkey]

Would you guys suggest purchasing the Dell Wireless 1490 card from Dell.com or is a used card from eBay going to be just fine? Also, is there any reason that a wireless card from a MacBook like this one Atheros AR5BXB72 or this one Broadcom BCM94321MC wouldn't work in the Wind?

 

Thanks

 

Edit: Added link to Broadcom card

 

Update: Well I did a bit of research and didn't see any reason why the Broadcom wouldn't work, since it's the same as the Dell 1500 which does work in the Wind and it was $5 less than the Dell. I want everything to have arrived when I get back so I can install the RAM and WiFi card at the same time before installing OS X.

[imadosser]

Anyone got their 1490 working with Kismac?

[imadosser]

Also anyone know how I can change the name of the computer? At the moment it shows up on the network as Jack's Advent 4211

 

I know its petty ...

My Wind does some operation on its disk every 30Seconds. I cant understand what causes it. I switched of Spotlight, disabled QuickSilver, made a new user, but I just cant figure it out.

 

Any suggestions??

[TheCONDOR]

U.C. i ear your same thing.

 

So someone can help me? I've installed coolbook and registered it but the frequency still be at 1.6ghz.

I've installed the smbios28 but if i make ioreg | grep IOPlat | head -n 1 the sistem still show U100.

If i check into the SystemProfiler it reports MacBook2,1 ....

How can i do??? I've kalyway 10.5.2 update at 10.5.3 with comboupdate and to 10.5.4 with original apple update.

[U.C.]

I got the 2.9 Ked version of CoolBook at MSJ. Been working since then.

[-jordn-]

i was wanting to know if anybody knew the max output resolution of the VGA port with the lid closed under OSX?

 

its a push, but do you reckon the GMA950 can manage 1920x1200?
