janmarc Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hallo to everyone! As you obviously can see, this is my very first post. So please consider me being almost a total noob in this OSx86-thing I've just installed iPC 10.5.6 (PPF5) on my Samsung Q35 notebook. Or let's say I've tried to. After a few tries, i managed to boot into OS X successfuly. But now there are some problems: - no audio output device is found (though I selected AD1986 driver during installation) - no w-lan device is found (though I selected Intel Pro 3945 driver) - no keyboard is found (though it worked well during install routine, usb keyboard works) - no touchpad is found (it also worked during installation (exept 'click by tapping') and usb mouse works Apart from that the system seems to run fast and stable so far. Graphics look good, no artifacts. Usb, boot, shutdown etc all works just fine. So where's the problem? I would be very thankful if someone could post the exact installation selections for maximum compatibility with the Q35 T5500. Or is it hopeless?

janmarc Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I hope someone can help me. I didn't count how many installation constellations i tried, but nothing works. The best I could get so far was a leopard 10.5.6 running system with no audio, no w-lan and neither built-in keyboard nor trackpad working.

janmarc Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 UPDATE: I managed to get built-in keyboard and trackpad working!! Now, that's a step in the right direction... The only thing that makes me crazy right now is that the trackpad not recognizes a left click when just gently tapping on the pad (not using the left click button under the trackpad)! I'd never thought how I'd miss this! Any idea how to fix it? Now there are just 2 big problems left: Sound is still not working (though I'm hearing some glitches and cracks when booting for the first time...) and my Intel Pro 3945 also isn't working. (Besides - is anybody out there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmarc Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 UPDATE: Internet is working now! I'm typing this from within Leopard. Unfortunately it requieres a cable - very uncomfortable. Give me some feedback, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmarc Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 UPDATE: I finally got the sound problem fixed by adding the azalia.kext. Works fantastic with SoundMax HD! Got a clean stereo sound. That leaves just one problem: the iwi3495 still isn't shown as airport device. Tried a driver from some link from the forum. Installed the driver kext including some terminal network app. After reboot leopard detects a new ethernet devicebut tells me there's no cable plugged in. But with the terminal application i could start iwi3459 an even detect my w-lan. But connection still is impossible. And a new question: How can you change the kernel after installation? I chose the Netkas 9.2.0 Sleep. Runs very stable but sleep mode just worked one time. Now it just turns off the screen and nothing else. Vanilla kernel didn't work for me, though I got Core2Duo: endless reboots. I think Voodoo worked fine but I don't remember about sleep under voodoo... EDIT: Successfully changend to Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel. Sleep is not working. I'm currently trying to fix the 'kernel-panic-when-dmg-mounting-due-to-wrong-seatbelt.kext' - problem. Will post the results later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmarc Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 OK, though it seems that nobody's reading this I'll post the current status as declared: The dmg-mount problem was solved by downgrading the seatbelt.kext from version 10.5.6 to 10.5.5. After trying some osx86 drivers for synaptics touchpads, I had to reinstall the whole system. These drivers did not work exactly as I expected them to do... I would say I could live with the touchpad disfunction (will get a usb mouse), but I'm very unhappy about the w-lan not working at all. I hope someone can tell me how to fix it or there will be realeased working drivers for this device... And that's i so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmarc Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello again, got me a USB-WLan stick. So wireless is working quite fine by now. And I'm getting used to my trackpad more and more though I'm using an external mouse whenever possible. The System runs fine and I'm glad having changed to OS x completely. Vista Times are finally over! Things I'm currently trying to figure out (and could need your help!): -SleepMode (when activated, screen turns black but no further, shutdown works great) -It seems that Leopard wants to burn the cpu. The temperature seldomly falls below 70ºC and sometimes reaches up to 99ºC. Is there any way to lock the cpu temperature to a certain point? Performance decrease would be acceptable for me.

pepsi3600 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 hi, i would prefer you to use ideneb v1.4 v10.5.6 ... i think is better choice for Samsung q35. pepsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend the stock kernel for Core Processors, it is much faster and more compatible with System Update, and it will probably help with your sleep problem. As for your trackpad, my Synaptics touchpad shows up in System Preferences (Mouse and Keyboard >> Trackpad >> Tap To Click). I am annoyed with the progress on the Intel Pro Wireless 3945 driver, I have not been able to get that to work either. Hello again, got me a USB-WLan stick. So wireless is working quite fine by now.

iRuletheworld Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 janmarc Hi, just installed 10.5.6 on my Q35, all seems to be fine except no sound and internet. I'm new to this so how did you add the azalia.kext and how did you get the internet connection to work. ?? Can this be done without re-installing the OSX Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
