anonymous86 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi there! I just installed OSX86 (10.4.8) on an Acer Aspire 3690 (3692WLMi , to be exact). Right now, everything that matters works - Sound, WLAN, you name it (Note: I didn't care for the Ethernet - I didn't get the Builtin Webcam to work with iChat USB Cam). Without further ado: +) Get the " JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 " Install DVD from Demon***. Install normally, just don't forget the INTEL Packages, as well as the GMA 950 support. I also installed the "Common Wireless Nics" Package. +) Sound Use the ALC883Audio.pkg in THIS Link , and install the 3 Channel Version (which happened to be the default). +) Wireless LAN Look at THIS and THIS Thread for Instructions. The Vendor ID on this model is 14E4, and the Device ID is 4318 . I just changed one of the "<string>pci14e4,4320</string>" Strings to <string>pci14e4,4318</string>. Just follow the instructions - I had to do it twice because of my own stupidity. Thats it - I hope it helps, and my respect for everyone who helped in the Threads I quoted.

anonymous86 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Long story short: Yes, everything was working nicely :3 As for Macam - no, I didn't try, but my gut feeling tells me it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsimonias Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've installed Tiger 10.4.8 on my 3690: qe/ci, sound, sleep/restart/shutdown. I installed wifi, it works, but I can't sleep the laptop I tried to install a PowerManagement.bundle from an acer 5220 howto, but System Preferences didn't change. I also try the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from the 5220 howto but now the system doesn't boot. (haven't tried -v -x) Can you see the batery status? How? Now installing Leopard...
