metalmaniac Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hey Guys, This is my first post here, so please dont flame me if my eitquette for this forum is a little off. Basically I have installed 10.5.1 on my Acer Apsire 5103 WLMi, and its worked (kind of) Its a work in progress and hopefully i'll have a little set of instructions by the end. But I may need some help. Firstly. Processor (Only 1 recognised): AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 - 1.6GHz (x2), up to 1.6GHz FSB, 2x512KB L2 Cache RAM (Works): 1024MB DDR2-533MHz Hard Drive (Works): 120 GB Screen (Works): 15.4" TFT CrystalBrite (1200x800) Optical Drive(Works Beautifully): DVD±RW Super Multi Graphics (Not Working): ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 supporting 512MB HyperMemory Wireless LAN(Not Working): Atheros AR5005G 802.11b/g SO, Any ideas on the processor, the graphics, and wireless. Also the keyboard and touchpad nay work. I tried the ApplePS2controller.kext, and it failed miserbaly, causing a reinstall (even after permissions) cheers guys.

captainLoknar Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Acer Aspire 5540 here. You might want to tell us which distrib you tried to install? Which drivers you tried on your video (and what is your video and what is the issue) I'm running Tiger 10.4.10 and Wireless + Bluetooth don't work. I am using an external USB wifi (DLink). My main issue is the Callisto b003 drivers are the only ones that seem to make my laptop display work, and the aspect ratio is 4:3 but should be widescreen. I've searched this forum alot and reinstalled often with no success. I still use this laptop for work and media (iPhone and iPod) and said goodbye to my XP forever. I will try Leopard eventually.

metalmaniac Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hmm proving to be insanely difficult. Before I even worry about drivers, after the initial boot, identifying keyboard, etc, the laptop will not reboot, as it has an error when loading the login manager.

metalmaniac Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Ok so i fixed the boot prob, easy just turn off automatic login.. why? I dont know. The keyboard works and touchpad after installing the appleps2controller.kext. But the graphics are still screwing up. Ive tried the NatitX1300.kext but no luck. BTW it is the Toh 10.5.1 amd sse2/sse3 My video is ati x1300 512 mb, i shall try the callisto stuff next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainLoknar Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 hmm.... what is your problem exactly? Know that ATI cards dont have osx drivers so maybe try external display. How is your wifi? I am using 10.4.10 uphuck. Can't use wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
