Dual Core problem on Aspire 5601

[poopmonkey]

So I installed 10.4.8 with Jas Kernal on my Acer. I am wondering if there is a fix for the dual core ( T2050) so I will not get the stuttering effect. Maybe, different version of kernal or different mac version? Leopard?

 

 

Please help

i have osx on the same computer as you, and had the same stuttering effect.

to fix it, i just navigated to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and under the Kernel Flags key add 'idlehalt=0' between two string tags.

 

i.e in terminal type

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

and change this

 

<dict>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string></string>
	<key>Boot Graphics</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
</dict>

 

to this

 

<dict>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>idlehalt=0</string>
	<key>Boot Graphics</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
</dict>

 

save and exit; on reboot osx should be perfect
