Snow Leopard 10.6.4 working on Asus A6JC

[totoro81]

Hi,

I wanted to share my experience on this notebook. I finally managed to get a working installation of 10.6.4 on it. This netbook has an Intel Core Duo processor and a NVidia GeForce Go 7300 video card.

 

This is how I did:

 

I used Snow Hazard selecting these options:

- Mac OS X 10.6.2 Update Combo

- Chameleon RC3 PCEFI 10.3

- NO Kernel: I used the Vanilla Kernel (initially I tried with Legacy Kernel but it gave me a KP)

- AppleAzaliaAudio

- RTL8169 Ethernet

- VoodooBattery

- VoodooPS2Trackpad

- JMicronATA Injector

- LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA Fixed

- IOATAFamily Fix

 

Then I replaced SleepEnabler kext using this one http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=196466 and installed 10.6.4 combo update. Everything worked fine.

 

To get trackpad preference pane, I followed this guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=142466 (the part that explains how to remove the vendorid key)

 

To get full video resolution, QE and CI on this NVidia Geforce 7300 Go, I used SkyZ's hex string at http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&p=919436

 

I made all the updates from Software Update with no problems.

 

- Audio is working

- Ethernet is working

- Video is working, with full QE and CI

- Bluetooth is working

 

still, webcam is NOT working (it has a Syntek webcam and I could not find any driver) and Wi-fi is not working (Intel 3945 card, old story...)

 

I will try to get sleep working (it seems sleep initially works but then I cannot wake it up)

There's also a little problem with my keyboard (a key does not respond), but I guess it's because it is an Italian keyboard and now I'll try to resolve it with some other kext

 

Hope this helps!

 

Bye
