I installed Kalyway only to see it ending at a sky blue screen the first time it rebooted; following Onetrack's advice, I pluged in an external monitor to only see that all is fine but not on the default screen. Also, neither the in-built INTEL eth0, nor the wireless Atheros networking interfaces work. Funniest and most annoying though is the "missing keyboard" thing - Unless I plugin an external USB keyboard I cannot type in anything :) The pointing device is not working either but since I always have a mouse in my bag I would defer this to a later, brighter time to solve.

 

So, please help me out here:

 

1) How do I fix the keyboard issue? I really cannot carry a keyboard next to the mouse :unsure:

2) How do I fix the display problem? I want Leo to appear where it should - on the laptop display :unsure:

3) The network - what am i missing there? I should be able to use both wired and wireless but how?

 

Thanks for helping me pimp my ThinkPad, guys :wacko:

Tried this, however now the system does not boot at all. Trying -v option shows boot process freezing at NTFS volume loading... Problem with keyboard and network and screen remain unsolved, as above option practically rendered the system useless. Why do I get the feeling this ThinkPad will be a tough cookie to crack? :(

I did try the iATKOS rather than the Kalyway and so far, it has worked better. I do have screen, I do have X3100 working well, so is the keyboard. However, I still cannot have the network up.

 

I have taken out from linux:

/sbin/lspci

................

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)

................

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

so, basically I need help making these two work? Thanks!

Ok, a night and a day into reading and I have some progress... :)

 

I did manage the wireless problem by simple edit of a .kext file and reboot; now have all but WEP networks in flying speeds. The wired eth0 Intel card is still playing hard to get, but this is only used on occasion, so I have excluded her from the current TO DO list. (for those still searching for a solution, simple search in the forum for AR5212 will reurn topic where things are explained step=by=step) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...aded&start=

 

What is really upsetting me now is the lack of sound. I have a AD1984 SoundMAX on-board audio [listed as Analog Devices 284b:8086 or AD1984 1984:11D4]

 

I tried almost all guides, posts, tutorials there are - the Azalia editing, the AC97 kexts, the AppleHDA.kexts - one at a time, reverting to original states before I change anything else - nothing worked.

 

Since sound was a no-issue under Kalyway, I am wondering - is there a way to find which kexts from Kalyway are working and to copy those over the current iATKOS? I have not had sleep for the past 30 hrs and am exhausted in fiddling with code... any, I mean ANY help is welcome now, guys. Of course, the other way round is also an option - if I could get from iATKOS the proper working X3100 and keyboard drivers to insert into a brand-new install of Kalyway... I am desperate, anything is an option, as long as I succeed with this Hackintosh...

 

How do I get this silly AD1984 playing?

So you got the AD1984 working with Kalyway ? Are you sure ? I ask this because from what I have read on these forums AD1984 is a no go with all Leopard releases. We are all waiting for Taruga 2.0 AppleHDA 2.0 release that should perhaps fix this.

 

Also, I have a Thinkpad X61s (with a AD1984 of course) and Kalyway installed: AD1984 is mute, even if I get the volume control in the status bar. So, again, are you really sure you got it working in Kalyway ?

Hi Agent, have the same problem with audio! Did you solve it?

Let me know, please:-)

any news on the AD1984 front ? kalyway ?

 

I'm late into this game. Installed iATKOS v7 onto a Dell 755 (Q35 chipset with ADI 1984 audio) and the sound works, but checking System Profiler it says no built-in audio, and so it's not using the HD chipset. I've tried installing AppleAzaliaAudio.kext and Azalia_ADI1988 and neither have worked. From what I've seen on this forum, there is no way to get the ADI 1984 audio chip working on Leo.
