Successful Install (iAtkos) on Acer Aspire 5630-6803

[ps2koder]

Well, here's my quick list of what is and is not working after a successful install of iAtkos 5i (10.5.5) on my Acer laptop.

 

I had initially installed the same iAtkos on my HP DV9231ca Pavillion notebook, and most things worked just fine.. With the exception of Audio out / Mic in / Audio in and of course wirelesss. Some better results on my Acer thankfully (Though I wish for the 17" screen on my HP!!)

 

Here's the system...

Model ASPIRE 5630-6803 160GB HDD XP MCE Version (NO TUNER) CPU Intel Core2 Duo Processor T5500,2MB L2 cache, 1.66GHZ, 667FSB Display 15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800), Acer CrystalBrite Technology System Memory 1GB (512/512) DDR2 533 SDRAM(no empty slot) Video NVIDIA GEFORECE GO 7300,128MB VRAM HDD 160GB, 5400 RPM Optical drive Integrated Super-Multi drive (DVD+R,DVD-R,DVD-RAM) BATTERY 6-cell with up to 2.0 hours battery life depending on usage Network 802.11a/b/g WLAN, 10/100 LAN, 56K, modem, Bluetooth, RJ-11, RJ-45 LAN, VGA, headphones/speakers/line-out, micro-phone-in, line-in, S-video TV-OUT, 4 x USB 2.0 Acer Video Confernce VVoIP via integrated Acer OrbiCam adjustable 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera. Silver/black chasis OS Preload Microsoft Windows XP MCE

What works:

Audio (headphone Jack out) - I was very surprised, as this seems NOT to work on most Hackintoshes

Audio works from speakers just fine

Full Display support for all available resolutions

Ethernet works

DVD Reading / writing works perfectly

Trackpad, buttons, keyboard all work

All USB Ports work

Shutdown works

 

 

What doesn't work:

 

Wireless (intel wireless) - But this was resolved with a Belkin USB WiFi Dongle.. Writing this wirelessly

Quartz-Extreme (not supported) Nvidia Geforce Go 7300 (wish I had a solution)

Sleep Mode does not work.. And on reboot I always get a message that Hibernate failed, and contains Garbage.
