mat luma Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I got OSX up and running, minus sound, wireless and proper video. Sound is Realtek High Definition Audio Video is ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 Wireless is Intel 3945ABG I have seen defferent drivers around. Which drivers are known to work and how do you install the *.kext files, if thats whats needed? Cheers. ALSO.. if i let osx run the "software update" function, will it ruin my installation?

johnnytluxury Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Sound: Which version Realtek? ALC650? ALC850? Theres fixes, but we gotta know more. Video: Boris Badenovs drivers HERE Wireless: S.O.L. I believe, I may be wrong. DO NOT UPDATE OSX, but you can update Quicktime and things, just not the OS.
