flobb Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Hi there, I've this beautifull piece of hardware, but i'd like tu use a real OS on it I've allready a ubuntu linux who works (quite) well, OSX will be.... There is allready a Post on the wiki, but i have some difficulties. For me the sound is on the taskbar (so nearly ok) but nothing goes out (speaker and line-out) The internal display don't works (blue screen at boot) but external VGA is OK. No network support, and no power saving/sleep mode avalable for the moment. Any ideas ? (somebody changes the wiki to tell that is works) Regards Florian.

dlbogdan Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 search on the forum. if you have intel GMA 900/950, you may need to fabricate a vga dongle. (a short between 2 pins on the vga port) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36352-148-on-sony-vaio-vgn-ux-5090180/#findComment-258621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macstibs Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I used the 10.4.6 jas iso and it installed without a hitch. internal and external displays work. the eth needs a hack to function (yukon.kext) audio needs a hack as well (appleazalia.kext). wifi is non-functioning.

On the extrenal display all works very smoothly, with Quartz Extreme etc... It miss some features like sleep mode, wifi and Cardbus (who freeze the 10.4.8 at boot) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36352-148-on-sony-vaio-vgn-ux-5090180/#findComment-267167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
