MaSTeR_MaMay Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 People, can you help me get all the devices on this notebook working? I've installed Jas 10.4.8 with no additional kexts - have no sound, wifi working, ethernet card looks like working, but I didn't have time and place to test it at all... Netlink ADSL modem wasn't working properly (USB), or I couldn't configure it properly - help please. The main problem is to get QE/CI, OpenGL and sound working properly, Wi-Fi will be really good, but not so needed as all above...

Rammjet Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What video graphics chip? What audio codec chip and audio controller chip? What wi-fi chip? What ethernet chip? USB modems need specific drivers, so if there isn't one written for Intel OSX, it will never work. For the above info, RTFM for the motherboard so we don't have to.

Rammjet Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 so... i thought, that people, that have internet, can look through it and find... We want to help you, not do all of your work for you. We have lifes too. Why should I spend 30 minutes trying to figure out what you have when you already know? You aren't paying for this service. Is your JaS 10.4.8 from an install DVD (new kernel) or from a combo update to a previous version (old kernel)? Video - x1700 is unusual. Don't remember anyone ever saying they had one before. You can try to go to the Video link in my signature and following what was done for x1400. Depends upon new 10.4.8 kernel. Sound - not really enough information, but I'm going to take a wild guess. Follow the Azalia link in my signature. Go to the Appendix at the bottom first to get the correct numbers that I asked for. Then follow the guide at the top of the page. Wi-fi - no support in OSX. Get an external USB wireless device or try to find an internal mini-PCIe card like the Dell Truemobile 1390 or 1450. Be sure first that your card is replaceable and is a mini-PCIe card. Ethernet - Follow ethernet link in my signature and find 8139. Depends on new 10.4.8 kernel. USB ADSL - probably won't work because of lack of a driver for OSX. Find an ethernet ADSL modem which doesn't need any special driver.

Red-Fox Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 hey, i have the same notebook asus a8jp with the x1700 mobility radeon. LAN works with NeoPheus Realtek installer im looking forward to the Natit driver, perhaps this will make it for the x1700 greets Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35134-mac-os-x-on-asus-a8m00jp-a8h00jp/#findComment-252423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaSTeR_MaMay Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Thanks to all =) Tried Natit, tried hand-made natit installation (method), but got no result... With Audio - where can I find some info? (system info tool in MS windows? will try it, or some other programs, if there won't, will post if something found) Really bad with WiFi, should find some (L1 or D-link USB 2.0 adapter i think ~30$ - no problem)... And one more question. What, if the same notebook (chipset, etc) will have x1600 videocard? Will the problem stay the same or not? (X1700 is very similar to x1600, except new technology (in making this hardware) is used there) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35134-mac-os-x-on-asus-a8m00jp-a8h00jp/#findComment-258141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipmac Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...=x1600+mobility Any1 tried this method that was proposed for the x1600 mobility on an x1700 mobility? since the x1600 and x1700 seem to be similar this might work. please give feedback here!
