tabsquare Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hello! please forgive me, I maybe could resolve these issues by myself in 5 days(as this is my first approach to mac OS) by seraching around. However, I have an exam in 5 days and I am getting this pain to help my girlfriend: she is in very bad mood. A brief report done with pc wizard: <<< System Summary >>> > Platform : Intel Centrino > Mainboard : Acer Nettiling > Chipset : Intel GM965 > Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T5250 @ 1500MHz > Physical Memory : 2048MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM ) > Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS > Hard Disk : Seagate ST9160821AS ATA Device (160GB) > Hard Disk : Seagate ST350082 0AS (500GB) > DVD-Rom Drive : CLIX GD2Z8LIZ4L2N > CD-Rom Drive : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K17RS ATA Device > Monitor Type : N154I2-L05 - 15 inches > Network Card : Broadcom NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe > Network Card : Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection As the title says, I managed to install iAtkos v7 on a partition of my C disk using, in addition to those selected by default, the following options (as I read it here http://www.insanelym...howtopic=175650): Extras DSDT Kernel 9.5.0 Disabler Voodoo PS/2 USB AHCI Intel SATA/IDE OHR Speedstep Voodoo HDA Audio Driver Reboot fix I then used windows 7 dvd to recover windows boot record and EasyBCD 2.0 beta to add the Mac OS entry to the boot list. Leopard works quite fluently but has some problems i'd like to resolve primarly: 1-Cannot (or at least I do not know how to) connect to internet with the wireless card or through ethernet. 2-Cannot (or at least I do not know how to) use usb hubs. Wireless mouse works good tough. But once I insert a usb pen, nothing happens. I cannot find anything relating to usb ports in the finder. Without connectivity, I cannot get files on Leopard easily. 3-I tried installing Final cut 4.0 express (I hope it is possible to make it work decently, but I have some doubts) but at install time, I can only install LiveType, whilst Final cut is grayed out and marked as "skip". I trashed all files within the Library/receipts folder; I only left the folders. This didn't help. Installing Final Cut is my first priority at the moment. 4-when I move a floating window, sometimes they leave a trail backwards. Obviously, we cannot afford a Mac at this time, nor we do know if we'll need one in the future. Will be eternally greatful for any help.

Foxic Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You will not get much support for distros from insanelymac. The best approach is to use a Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail disk and Nawcoms ModCD/ModUSB to install. The problem with distros it that noone except their autors know exactly what they do, where they install stuff etc. Things become much simpler when you perform a retail install as you know exactly what is where because you put it there.

tabsquare Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thank you. I couldn't in fact resolve the problems in time. But well...it's past now. I am considering the way you suggested. My point is trying to make final cut (preferably express 4.0) work on whatever mac os similar to leopard, on my pc. Doesn't modCD/modUSB bring all these problems with drivers? Because I couldn't find discussions on compatibility between nawcom's and my acer aspire 5720g.

Foxic Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Find your exact hardware specification and find kexts for your hardware, this is a post installation step. The only way to find out if it will work is to try. Why are you so hell bent on Leopard? It is an old OS. Your laptop is perfectly capable of running Lion (the most recent OS) and Final Cut Pro X.

tabsquare Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ok this is what I expected. I know Leopard sounds strange; I'm trying to build up an environment which is similar to the one my girlfriend has at university. You may wonder: what kind of university is that? well, I'm from Italy, and this should be clarifier The same concept stands for Final Cut which is an old and obsolete version, but appears to be the standard widespread down here. At this moment I am still with my installation of iAtkos. Still uncertain about what to do. It has problems with drivers, and I am trying to solve this. I suppose I will have exactly the same problems with another version of Mac OS. USB now is fine. I Installed iwifi for the wireless card but kernel panics and now I am trying to remove it. Always getting "permission denied" tough.
