So far everything is working Smoothly running in 32bit arch=i386 mode. Running arch=x86_64 seems to make this laptop run a bit slower and has occasional sudden reboot for no reason. Intel HD3000 Graphics is working good with setting the GraphicsEnabler=No in boot.plist nVidia GF 525M GT is not working Network LAN Realtek PCIe FE Family (8167 chip) is also not working, tried everything, still not supported as far as I know. Wifi Not Working Bluetooth is Working. Keyboard and Touchpad work great! Sound works Flawlessly with VoodooHDA.2.7.2 Even the NB fn buttons work and behave like a MacBookPro. Did anyone managed to get the Network working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
