evolt Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 it always hangs after like 5 mins during idle. Sound didn't work, VGA is only 1024x768 and its a 15.4 screen, wireless not working. I installed it 3 times the 2nd install took forever and I noticed it already hanged. So do you guys think there's still hope for my laptop? Here's the specs and I used Wesley patched iso Processor Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 538 (3.20GHz1, 1MB L2 Cache) 533MHz Front Side Bus Speed Chipset ATI Radeon™ IGP 345M Integrated Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g3 LCD 15.4” WXGA (1280x800) with XBRITE™ technology Hard Drive 80GB2 (4200rpm) Memory 1GB PC-2100 266MHz DDR (512MB x 2) (Expandable to 1GB Maximum) Graphics ATI Radeon™ IGP 345M 64MB Video RAM (shared w/ Main Memory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technobob Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Try turning off or changing the screensaver try using a non animated one Also go into System Preferences and click Energy Saver and adjust all the settings to never ACPI is not working 100% as it was writen for Mac laptops Also when you close the lid on your laptop it will crash there is a workaround for this using a program called Sleepless 2.1 http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=6600&hl= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolt Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Cool! Thanks Technobob. I'll try it again when I get a faster hard drive BTW the HP desktop seems to work fine. I guess I'll leave it un patched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
