maoriboy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The forum is packed with helpful info on installing OSX86 on the GA-945GCMX-S2, but why is there so little about the GA-945GCM-S2L? I ordered the recommended GA-945GCMX-S2 the other day but had to settle for the GA-945GCM-S2L instead as they where out of stock. Other than onboard sound and lan it they seem pretty much the same?

Nach0 Stallion Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Maoriboy: Kiora. (hope thats spelt right - if not im sorry It seems that the S2L is the replacement board to the S2, but there are still supplies of the S2 in the states, while ours (Australia, NewZealand) have run out and are onto the next version/revision. while the specs may be similar, the board may have completely different layouts that would need to be catered for, and until someone can show a release working on this board I may just go for the Asrock conroe 1333 board. can you please post your results when you setup with the S2L then it could be added to the Wiki to help the rest of us Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68102-ga-945gcm-s2l-install-success/#findComment-579949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maoriboy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Kia ora, Nacho (Spelling close enough cuz) Cheers for that piece of motherboard incite, I appreciate that bro I was really planning to use tried and tested components for my new OSX86 machine, but I guess I'll see how my S2L fears, I will definitely be back to post my adventures.

smoerk Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 kalways boots fine with EFI. i had not much time to test it further. LAN seems not to work out of the box, but i guess there is a workaround. i had the asrock conroe before, but i had to downgrade the bios. Hi Maoriboy: Kiora.

maoriboy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I am pleased to report that I now have leopard 10.5.1 up and running I am running the vanilla kernel using the supplied apps on the Kalyway 10.5.1 install DVD Everything worked after initial install accept the LAN and Sound LAN - I used the NIC driver from the realtek site (RTGMac_v1.1.6.pkg) Sound – Installed the AzaliaAudio kext using the installer although I later realised that it is included on the Kalyway DVD I am only using my IDE hardrive and DVD drive so I am unsure if sata or raid is working Audio out works perfectly but I have not tested audio in I have installed heaps of apps and they all run flawlessly But, I am having a slight issue with MS Office 2008, it behaves weird when the mouse pointer is put into an text input area or input box? Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68102-ga-945gcm-s2l-install-success/#findComment-598703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nach0 Stallion Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Really glad to hear you got everything up and running, I am unsure of office - remember its a microsoft product and could be full of bugs if your using onboard GFX it seems to have some issues with GFX glitches, maybe a Nvidia 7300GT will cure it? hey bro be sure to add your success to the list from the main site so it can be added to the WIKI!!, or even start a new thread with your motherboard in the title Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68102-ga-945gcm-s2l-install-success/#findComment-600799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshiba_mac24 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 For Office 2008, I got it working no problem, but I am only one using the program. I don't know if you guys care at all but I got my version of Office working just fine. Has anyone got Final Cut Studio working? I can manage with the hard drive space, but is it fully working of the 945 GM chipset? Also, is there any way to get the full amount of video memory from the card? My specs from Windows Vista are that I can dynamically share form 8 MB to 244 MB. Is there any way to adjust the system info on OSx86 of the Video memory to 128 MB? Just wondering.

maoriboy Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The issues with MS Office I have come to learn is mouse tearing, something common to leopard and the GMA950 onboard graphics. I happens it quite a few apps, Firefox, Adobe Dreamweaver, and others I have searched high and low for a fix for this. At the moment I have found that replacing the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext with one found within the forum (older) fixes the tearing. but infortunatley leaves me unable to change resolutions and refresh rate. Still working on it..... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68102-ga-945gcm-s2l-install-success/#findComment-617314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshiba_mac24 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I should have mentioned that I am using Tiger for Office 2008.
