ptech Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 hey tnt, i tried installing on my ml6720 using the kalyway disc, and i also had problems with my keyboard and sound. the wireless worked well, however. our audio card is the sigmatel stac 9200 and i read somewhere that they don't have support for mac osx yet. i'll let you know if i find out anything else. i, too, tried all the keyboard fixes with no success.

ptech Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 found something interesting: rootnik from uphuck.ggrn.de solved all keyboard and sound problems with the ml6720. here's what he wrote: by rootnik on Sun Dec 30, 2007 9:08 pm I have my gateway ml6720 notebook running atkos, dual booted with vista using the following options: Darwin boot, efi stock kernel hacked smbios (for sleep) nfts-g drivers intel, x3100 drivers I elected not to go with the stock AppleACPIPlatform, since this is a notebook and I need the battery info. Wireless controllers can be found on the insanelymac forums. Used the HDA project to get the audio working, with mic. The biggest problem was the built in keyboard. I found a hacked driver on insanelymac that fixed it. Biggest surprises: built in card reader works! geekbench scores are 250 points higher on iatkos than on vista, which was the pre-installed OS on the notebook. Disappointments: Some kernel panics during boot. This is rare, and did not happen until I replaced the stock smbios and AppleACPIPlatform with the hacked version. I also have trouble shutting down at times after replacing the kexts. I need the power management options that these kext provide, so I trade the stability of using the stock kexts with these. Overall, I have a very solid install. I am anticipating the next update from apple to see how well this holds up. i still need to figure out what drivers exactly he used from this forum but i'll try it out tonight. i realize your post was back in november but i thought we should keep this going for all those with ML6720's that want to get osx on their laptop.

T_N_T Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Any new news on the ML6720? I have a usb keyboard/mouse, but would like to use the onboard stuff, the mouse works but the keyboard does not.

NickT123 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hey party people I tried installing Kalyway 10.5.1 on my ml6720 and am not having the same luck you are having. It hangs at the start up. What version of osx are you guys installing?
