B) gonna get logic express 7 soon and will give a try on that. So anyone got intel pro 2100/2200 working yet? also is there a driver emulator or something to enable core image and quartz and detect my vga? it would be really nice if i can do a presentation on this with keynote 2 ;) thanks guys...

Hi guys

 

i got 1st gen. Tecra M2 and sound isn't working. I get message after every reboot that Audio97 wasn't installed properly. Everything is going fine with my M2 except wireless. I got display 1024x768 24bit. Can't go above it.

 

Could you please help me to sort out my sound card?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Fist of all, I am running ver 10.4.6 and wanted sound working on 1st of Tosiba Tecra M2 but it want working at all. Now i got both speakers working and made my own way installing audio driver in text file. please check it for information.

 

 

Finder...Applications...Utilities....

open Terminal

 

type

 

 

sudo -s

<type your password> then press enter

 

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext (you can drag the ac97 kext here from the extensions folder) then press enter

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext (you can drag the ac97 kext here from the extensions folder) then press enter

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

diskutil repairPermissions /

kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext (if driver is ok it will load it successfully otherwise it will give msg that driver can't be loaded in kernal)

 

when complete...X out of terminal and terminate

reboot

 

upon reboot, you should have audio.

 

thanks for your help

Hello, just want to ask you Aditya Pamungkas, please what release are you using ???

Cause on my Tecra M2 I juste have a black screen, trying JaS 10.4.6 and JaS 10.4.8.

 

Thanks for Help

 

Try to put on a external display, you may find it working.
