Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Sound - try this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=18642 If that doesn't work, you are probably out of luck. Graphics - what is your graphics card? Boot Camp - will not work on a Hackintosh Bootloader - you can use the XP bootloader, but it might be easier to use the OSX bootloader. For XP bootloader, you set the Windows partition active. Use a Windows/Linux disk/partition utility or use Fdisk built into OSX: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Then boot Windows. Insert the OSX install DVD. Find the chain0 file on the DVD and copy it to your C:\ drive. Then edit the boot.ini file and add this line to the end: c:\chain0="Mac OS X" Here is an example of a boot.ini file: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=159052 For OSX bootloader, make the OSX partition active. Use a Windows/Linux disk/partition utility or use Fdisk built into OSX: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Then boot into OSX and set the timeout parameter in boot.plist to reveal the Darwin bootloader: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=188186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizmal Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Thanks for the fast reply my graphics card is a radeon 9600x t it seem to be working fine accept mouse tearing under load and when scrolling with the mouse wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Mouse tearing is a problem you will have to live with. You might use Mousepose with a blank image to help with that. Do a search on this board for Mousepose. If you need a different resolution, first try using it at boot by hitting the F8 key and entering "Graphics Mode" = "1280x1024" (or whatever resolution you choose) If that works, you can add that to your boot.plist file so you don't have to type it in at each boot. Just add the following to the boot.plist file: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024</string> If you wish to pursue some drivers to give you a wider choice of resolutions, you can try one of the following: Callisto - http://omni.starchaser.org/omni XRadeonFB - Be sure to read all of the conditions for using this first. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=29450 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizmal Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Im back A question about my Audio when entering the device and vendor id which bit to you put it in, or do you put in all the places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 or do you put in all the places I'm not sure where all these places are that you are talking about. There are two sets of vendor id's and device id's. The Appendix in the guide tells you how to find and prepare both sets. The first set goes in this file: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist in this block of text: <key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key> <string>0x10ec0882</string> 10ec is the vendor id. 0882 is the device id. Replace those with your values. The second set goes in this file: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist in this block of text: <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x27d88086</string> 27d8 is the device id. 8086 is the vendor id. Replace those with your values. Be sure to read the Appendix carefully on how to arrange the vendor id and device id because the second set is backwards from the first set In the first set: 0x + vendor id + device id In the 2nd set: 0x + device id + vendor id Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizmal Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 alright thanks are you sure this will work for my model alc665 becuase it states alc8xx and before i didnt enter myown ids in system profiler it syas qe and ci are supported so does that mean there working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If you don't enter your id's, it won't work for your device. I don't know if it will work, but it has a chance. If System Profiler says they are supported, then they are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizmal Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 alright first sound my vendor id is 1039 Device id is 7012 i didnt have the second sound device as in the guide i changed my boot ini but it just loads straight into windows here it is [boot loader] ;timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn C:\chain0="MAC OS X" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 ALC665 should be a Realtek, but vendor 1039 is SiS and device 7012. There is a different guide for SiS 7012 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=25188 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=16404 For the bootloader, did you copy the Chain0 file from the OSX DVD? What frequently happens is you select OSX in the Windows bootloader and it goes to OSX. The OSX bootloader got set to default to Windows, so it returns to Windows. As I said, it would be easier to use the OSX bootloader. If you choose to do that, remove the Chain0 line from boot.ini and then follow the steps I gave your for the OSX bootloader.

Dizmal Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 no thank you i would like the windows it now comes up butwhen i selct mac it just goes back to the list oh and thank you for the new sound guidei will try it in a minute i thought it was realteck ac97 alc655 becuase thats what it says in my device manager ohk ive decided to use darwin bootloader how to i do that icant boot back into osx do i only need to delete the chain0 file?

Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Delete the chain0 line in boot.ini so it doesn't try to go to OSX. You can leave the chain0 file in the C:\ directory - it just won't be used. Follow the steps I gave you for the OSX bootloader. It will get you into OSX.

Dizmal Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 alright thats works, is there any way you can make it say Windows Xp beacuse it just says something like (hd1,01) whereas the mac one says (hd1,02) Mac OSX Im going to try the new sound guides now Update It tried the second one using the kext provived, got no errors in terminal rebooted went in to sound and still cant move the sliders also do you need to boot in a special mode to see if there is an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 is there any way you can make it say Windows Xp That's always been a tough one to fix. If the Windows XP partition shows up on your OSX Desktop, you can try to change it's name. Click on the icon and then hit the Enter button. The name text should highlight. If it does, change it to what you want it to say. If the Windows XP partition is formatted as NTFS, then this might not work. OSX can read NTFS partitions but cannot write to them. Also, go into Windows and assign a name to your Windows partition. Perhaps one of these will be picked up by the OSX bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
