bugsyman Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I've recently bought Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Pro V3205 and like I've sad it's not going so well with driver installation and to be honest finding drivers isn't so easy as I expected. So I need help with modem, wireless and sound drivers. Version of Mac OS X86 is 10.4.7 but it seems to be faulty, so I would rather try 10.4.6 (that I also have) but osx86projects wiki site says that my laptop isn't compatible with 10.4.6. Could you help me? Thanks, Bugsy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47368-drivers-for-my-laptop-amilo-pro-v3205/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsyman Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Is it possible that no one can help me? Or maybe I have to wait couple of weeks for reply?

jarodsix Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...AMILO_Pro_V3205 this above is a guide for 10.4.7 Now I have already installed 10.4.8 on it, but was lazy to write a newer description. Use 10.4.8 DVD and install GMA950 package (as opposed to what I wrote in the description for 10.4.7), but don't select it during installation, do it after installation using pacifist and replace on every question. V3205 line also includes Core2 duos, my was only Core Duo. With Core2 there are more problems. oh, and yes: modem doesn't work wifi driver for iwi3945 in progress (my wifi is this one, yours i guess too) http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ sound only output, see instructions, though there is also a work in progress http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry231456.

bugsyman Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Main problems are sound, wireless and modem. Bluetooth is not fully functional. Only thing that works fine is graphics. Does your laptop has the same hardware as mine?

bugsyman Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 I’m still having trouble with drivers for my laptop. Some how I forced all to work except sound and modem. Does anyone have any idea to point me to. And I forgot, Connect to Server option from the Go menu doesn’t work! Is there any cure?

bugsyman Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Now only modem is left. But the main problem is that the Connect to Server option still isnt working.

bugsyman Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 I’ve managed to solve the problem that I had with Connect to Server option. Now only fine tuning is left. But to be honest I don’t really know how I forced “everything” to work because I tried several patches at the same time. But thanks any way.

BrumBrum74 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have this computer as well, but with Core Solo cpu. Got a new wireless card (Broadcom 4311) and it runs perfect with no editing to get it working. The problem I have is getting sound to work. Can't seem to get the drivers installed properly. Also the computer shuts down and not restart when choosing restart. Any way to fix that? Also the computer indicated that power adapter was not connected when installing osx 10.4.8.

bugsyman Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Is that a USB wireless card or what? Sound: you need to delete AppleHDA.kext and then copy the one that I found on this forum to the /System/Library/Extensions/ and then delete the kext cache and repair permissions. Lan: you just need to replace the file on the system with the one that I also found on this forum and do the same as with the sound (delete kext cache files and repair permissions). There is a patch for restart problem but it didn't solve my problems, it only made them worse. My computer got kernel panic and there was no help for that installation so I had to reinstall it. You do not have to worry about the power cord message because I had the same but when I installed it totally it worked fine. Best regards, bugsy! p.s. If you cant find the drivers on the forum send me a PM with your mail address and I will send them to you!!! Here is short tutorial: * delete applehda.kext from extensions * copy those 2 kext (AppleAzaliaAudio.kext & AppleIntel8255x.kext) files to extensions * rm /System/Library/Extensions.* * repair permissions with disk utill Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47368-drivers-for-my-laptop-amilo-pro-v3205/#findComment-378044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrumBrum74 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It was a mini-pci card bought on ebay. Just remove old card and put new one in. Nothing else needed for it to work in OS X. Tried to do what you wrote in the tutorial here, but get error on reboot that kexts was not installed properly.

BrumBrum74 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Finally got it working so all looks to be working fine. Have not tried to upgrade to 10.4.9 yet. Anybody tried that with this laptop? Have not tried cd and dvd burning yet.

BrumBrum74 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 bugsyman: did you have to do anything special when you updated, or did you just download from appleupdate and restart? Is there a way to get the reboot function working? When I press reboot now the laptop turns itself off.

Is there a way to get the reboot function working? When I press reboot now the laptop turns itself off. You can’t update it from apple site. You have to download Jas combo update, and if I’m not wrong 10.4.9 is only for SSE3 instructions processors. From apple site you can download updates for iTunes and other programs but you can’t download updates from apple site for system.

BrumBrum74 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 10.4.9 is working really good now. Just a question. Anybody tried to set custom resolution in boot higher than 1280x800? If yes, what is the highest resolution possible?

bugsyman Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 The maximum resolution of that particular laptop screen is 1280x800 so there is absolutely no sense to try to set any higher resolution because any pixels above this resolution wont be visible.

gusvic Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hello, I have a V3205 with a Centrino Duo in it. Everything works except Wireless (have bought a USB Wireless adapter, works perfectly) and Sound in. Sound out works great.
