mchiu Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The ul30vt, ul50vt, and ul80vt are siblings with the same insides but differing screen sizes. Thus, I think doing the post installation on these should be similar. The initial installation is not hard. I've had success with the myhack method, which uses the retail DVD. I also succeeded with iatkos s3 v2, but I believe in using the retail disks. My install was 10.6.0, and I used Apple combo update to get to 10.6.6. For the post installation, I've been using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. So far, this is what I have: works: 1360 x 768 resolution wired ethernet (Atheros driver) wireless (using airlink101 AWLL5088, a tiny usb adapter. 10.6 drivers) keyboard, trackpad usb not working: qe/ci sleep/wake I would write a guide, but you don't want to follow my methods. I probably have a hybrid 10.6.6 system now since my solution to resolving kernel panics was to copy over my backups of the /S/L/Extensions and /Extra directory. So, most of my system is 10.6.6, but my those two directories are not. Credit goes to the author of the ul50vt entry. I just wish I could contact him/her to find out how to get qe/ci to work ... More details in a post coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalthree Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi there, glad to see some new interest in OSX for the ULX0VT series of notebooks. Keep me posted. It would be nice to have a snow leopard laptop again, since I sold my dual boot Mini 10v. I have the black version of the UL30VT. Good luck, looking forward to your next post.

Meizirkki Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hello! I have Asus UL50VT and thanks to this forum and the whole OSx86 community, I now have the latest Snow Leopard (updated iATKOS S3 v2) working perfectly. I almost posted a couple of threads searching for advice, but everything got sorted out quite fast. So I'm here only to thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meizirkki Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I used iATKOS s3 v2. So I'm not sure if vanilla version would need more kexts :/ There's a how-to for retail SL . EDIT: There's nothing about QE/Cl in my system profiler, but Xbench does QE test without any problems and it run very smooth. I guess it works?

Meizirkki Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Does "working perfectly" include sleep/wake? No. It fails to return from the sleep. I get a blank screen and bootloader fail the next reboot. I've never used sleep, so perfect _for me_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Props Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Are there any improvements? Im thinking to install SL on my ul30vt .. i would like to use the intel card only to get more battery life. What about the integrated wireless lan? Would be cool if someone is up2date and could tell me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
