jacob019 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I was having that same problem with it locking up when the lid was closed. There is a solution!!! It's called insomnia and it prevents the machine from ever trying to sleep. It works great, I've been using if for a month. The solution is in this thread: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=13830 Look at the last post to get Insomnia.zip rather than Insomnia.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slithy Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I am using VLC for dvd playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FECH Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've tried with VLC but no success.... here's the output. Can someone tell me what do i need to do to get dvd playback on this laptop? cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hmm I didn't do anything special. Put the DVD in, load up VLC, go to File -> Open Disc, then OK. Plays just fine for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2000rick Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 it might be because you dont have CI/QE enabled ... and thats because CI/QE dont work yet for nVidia cards. slithy probabaly has an ATI card like me. Although the built in DVD player does give me problems, VLC works alright. nVidia drivers should be released soon, and then it should work.

slithy Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yeah I have an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo in my laptop. For the first time, having an ATI card is good except for the mouse pointer artifacting. VLC works fine, but the bult-in dvd player pretty much locked up the OS when I put a DVD in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebi Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 i have an ati radeon 9600se and i can't get CI and QE to work, i'm trying with callisto 008 but reading some post they said that it's better the 003 version. Anybody can help me to make this work? i'm running 10.4.6 on a AMD Sempron Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2000rick Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Use 003 ... 008 doesnt work. And remember to follow the FAQ in the callisto documentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexicanDave Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I only have access to JaS 10.4.6 and my laptop is an Inspiron 6000. Am I S.O.L. on this because of the 10.4.6? can anyone please PM me even a hint where I can find the Myzar 10.4.5? is it that necessary to have the older version? Is my laptop too different from the 8600? Specs: Inspiron 6000 Intel Pentium M 2.0 Ghz 1GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon x300 Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG Sigmatel C-Major Audio Thanks in advance for any help.

aries77 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The processor doesnt matter, but the video card does. Dont use the higher reslution trick for your card. You need these drivers: http://macvidia.starchaser.org/ And if you have a intel wireless card it wont work, just as mine did not work ------------------------------- cgtx32: For the higher resolution hack you NEED 10.4.5 ati drivers. send me your email in a pm and ill send them to you. make sure its gmail though, or something that can accept large files. (not hotmail) I have a Dell 8600 with Nvidia FxGo5200 card. I tried the MacVidia_beta2_1_installer but no luck for the higher resolution. I tried the first suggestion on this page too with no luck (I changed it to my Device ID which is 0324): http://macvidia.starchaser.org/boards/beta...-fx-5200-a.html Still a little confused on what to try now? Edit: I realize I asked a stupid question about Nvidia card and then asking wether I need the ATI drivers..doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried the battery metter stuff. No monitor auto-turning-off. Everything else is cool. Can you give some feedback on how you got the macvida drivers to work on the FxGo5200 card? Which build/version? And any other details. I tried MacVidia_beta2_1_installer but no change. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries77 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 This is how i got my Inspiron to work almost perfectly. Hope it helps. I couldnt get the built in wireless to work, but using the D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650, wireless worked no problem Hey Rick, can you shed some light on how your got the D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 working?

a2000rick Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 I can't help you with the GeForce5200 since I don't have one, and as for the D-Link Card, I didn't do anything to make it work. I just pluged it in and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bj Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I fixed the QE/CL support for the 9600 card. Im currently using Callisto and CallistoFB. I understand most people failed with this attempt to enable QE and CL wihtout Koverg's patch. Here's what I did: 1) Install Callisto Drivers 2) Reboot 3) Add "CallistoFB" to ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin 4) Remove the Extensions.mkext/kextcache 5) Reboot 6) It should work.. it worked for me. Btw.. just incase people say "You don't have a 8600, your sig says 6000d", I have a 8600, its just my older laptop that I use solely for school work since the battery life on this thing is outragous better. Any questions, e-mail/pm me for faster (I don't visit the forums much) responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slithy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Anyone know how to adjust the CPU frequency when on battery? Mine doesn't auto-downclock. I figure I need a program to adjust it by hand, but can't seem to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubby Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 intel speedstep doesn't cut it? anyone else having choppy sound on JaS 10.4.6? (Sigmatel 9750) should i use myzar 10.4.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no way of knowing if speedstep is functioning correctly or not. Don't know where I can check my cpu frequency. All I know is that the battery life is about the same length as in Gentoo or Windows with CPU at %100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynatos Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Just thought i'd mention the TrueMobile interna wireless cards (mine's the a/b/g 1450) worked with no adjustments with the HOTiSo 10.4.6 release. And just a note for some: don't see the "ati mobility drivers" in the HOTiSo release and think that it works for the ATI 9600PRO - it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
