iNCredulous Sanity Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Once again XxX delivers in spades. I first encountered XxX for 10.4.10, there were a few issues getting it working on my own particular rig, had a few conversations with people on here, including XxX and low and behold all has been working for well over a year. My Rig: Gigabyte 965P-DS3 + Intel Core2Duo 6700 8 Gig DDR2 667 (4 x 2gig) 3 Sata2 HDD's (Samsung 1tb, Hitatchi 320, cant remember the third, only small). 1 Sata2 DVD/CD Reader/Writer NVidia 7900 GT Dual Monitors (1 CRT + 1 LCD) As it was Christmas and I had some downtime available to me so decided to back up, clean a disk, then install 10.5.6, I was about due for an upgrade. I downloaded XxX 10.5.6, I burned it to DVD, I stuck it in the drive and rebooted. (incidentally here I also switched the drive order so the blank drive was now first). I formatted via diskutils, I installed (picked all of the relevant components, azalia, nvidia inject, jmicron and a couple of other bits and bobs). It installed and rebooted, in then sucked over all of my 10.4.10 stuff from the other drive, one final reboot, job was a good'un! All running, everything ported over from my 10.4.10 installation including all my apps and email. I've attached an image of it all running. So from me, this is a hearty thank you to the XxX team!! And an extremely strong recommendation from me for the distribution. Have a great 2009 everyone!!! iNC.

RobD Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks here too for this release. Only thing not working (yet) is the audio... My MB is a ConRoe945G-DVi, I've followed this guide: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...e945G-DVi#Audio, but no joy. Any ideas BlackCH? EDIT - Scratch that, audio is now working fine. One thing is upon boot, the OS doesn't start up by itself, I have to press enter/return (on boot, it reaches the boot options, -v -x etc and waits). How can I fix this to boot with the usual 5 sec timeout? EDIT 2 - Fixed that timeout thing. Thanks again BCH.

iNCredulous Sanity Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I checked and it wasn't as you kindly pointed out, I was used to using VLC under 10.4.10 so didn't even think to check it, I have now installed the fix and I now have the OSX DVD player working an absolute treat! So now, I am even more happy Well done dude, thanks very much!! Dave.
