Some good news and some bad.

 

First - this laptop is a great piece of hardware. Core Duo 1.66 with a 100 GB SATA Drive and GMA 950. My HP laptop had a problem with the screen so I got it fixed, gave it to the wife and bought this for myself. It is also about HALF the weight of the HP.

 

The good news -

 

Anyways. OSX86 10.4.6. GMA 950 worked out of the gate, with both QE and CI, no tweaks necessary. Got 1280x800 and 32 bit color and nifty rotating Cube registration on completion. NIC worked after changing DEV ID in relevant .kext (I'll post the process in just a few minutes).

 

The bad news -

 

Gave up on wireless (no one here in the forum thinks it will work either - Intel PRO/Wireless 802.11a/b/g -- no biggie after getting the wired connection working, so I'll let the gods of Hex stew up a driver, while I sit patiently by, worshipping).

 

I have followed every how-to I could find, but I cannot make this ALC861 work. I am in the process of a clean install right now, just in case I FUBAR'ed something while editing a .kext file. I will keep you posted.

 

I have installed my Pixma 150 - printing and scanning work using the drivers from Canon. I have installed Adobe CS2 and Office 2004. There seems to be a problem with VersionCue, so I just removed it. I don't use it anyways. Also, I can't make Entourage connect to my Exchange Server. My PowerBook is running Entourage and has no problems, so I am thinking it is a problem with Entourage on OSX86. Everything else works GREAT!

 

Summary:

 

Working:

SATA

USB

Firewire

Video (QE and CI, no tweaks necessary)

Intel Pro/100 VM (using 0x10938086)

Touchpad

DVD R/W and CD R/W (installed Toast but was not able to re-write a CD - no biggie though)

Core Duo identified and both cores running

Counts memory a little wierd. I have 1.5 GB and it says I have 2 GB. Ubuntu and XP count properly

Logitech wireless mouse (caveat - scrolling works on Y-Axis but not X-Axis, and page down/page over buttons do not work) - UPDATE: After clean install, now all mouse buttons and features work.

 

 

Not working:

Wireless Intel pro/100 a/b/g

Card Reader

PCMCIA Slot

Audio

Extra buttons

Sleep (Hibernate seems to work though)

Shutting lid leaves screen on right now (think that is just a setting though)

 

 

I will update when I can. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this notebook running Ubuntu/XP/OSX86 (with Grub Bootloader). Under $1,000.00 and well worth every penny.

Ok, just finished reloading clean. Here is the process I used for getting the Intel Pro/100 VM NIC working on the Toshiba Satellite m105-s3011. Props to Cloudy.

 

First, I found this topic here:

Then I modified cloudy's guide a little.

sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

I am an old RS/6000 AIX user, and I STILL think vi sucks! So I modified the instruction as follows:

 

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

Find

 

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

 

There is a long string of device and vendor ID's that looks like so:

 

 

<string>0x10518086 0x10508086 0x10298086 0x10308086&0xfff0ffff 0x12098086 0x12278086 0x12288086 0x12298086 0x24498086 0x24598086 0x245d8086 0x10918086 0x10608086&0xfff0ffff</string>

 

For the Intel Pro/100 VM on the m105-s3011, the vendor ID is 8086 and the Device ID is 1093. So hex it all up Apple style as 0x10938086 and insert right before 0x10918086.

 

Hit Ctrl-W and enter

Hit Ctrl-X and exit

 

type sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.*

 

Go to Utilities under Applications on your Hard Drive. Open Disk Utility. Click on the partition that holds OSX and click Repair Permissions. Reboot. Voila! Network!

 

I am going to work on the Audio now. Wish me luck.

Ok, after modifying AppleAzalia kext file and moving AppleHDA kext out of the way and rebooting, I got the volume slider and my ALC861 was recognized as High Definitiion Audio. However, no output on the front bezel headphone jack (even tried the Mic jac :) ), and no speaker output. No sound at all. I spoke with JaS on IRC and he gave me a few things to try, but nothing worked. May not be possible to make sound work on this ALC861. I'l keep trying and let everyone know.

im using 2 distributions for my m105-s3011, ideneb 1.4 as source and kalyway as kext backup, plus the wireless intel 3945a/b/g kext from http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

 

alc861 is included in the ideneb 1.4 and intel pro 100vm its included in the kaliway 10.5.3 dist but its not working properly, can you upload a working kext for the intel pro vm for the m105-s3011?

 

thanks a lot

i had some isues with this fixpc4u, used this and restart, then got connection, but when i restart again no connection found, restart again and again with -f and nothing again, tried repairing again in safe mode and nothing, so i took the kext with the kext hekper and it did the trick, and once again after the second restart i got no connection, but the system recognises the ethernet adapter, how can i fix this? i have a m105-s3011 too, so if you can, would you send me the proper kexts for every device?, the only kernel that works with this model is the 10.5.2 sleep kernel and had some issues with the audio, wifi, and ethernet, the rest, ive installed office 2008 and adobe cs4 and work great, thanks

luck
