impulsion Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 i have succesfully installed a dual boot xp and leopard system on my vaio laptop! everything runs great!!! only issue's i've had so far is that my mic input doesn't work (i can deal with that) and i don't have a battery meter( would be nice to have that!) my question is: does anyone have any idea where i could come up with such a tool? i downloaded istat pro for my dashboard but it fails to give me battery life!!! any help would be greatly appreciated p.s. thanks to everyone on this site that put a lot of hard work into making this work on a pc! i've spent the last 3 days trying to figure out how to get darwin bootloader to recognize my windows xp partition! if anyone has any questions on how to do it, i'll make a new post with a description from start to finish!!!

EnVmyZ Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 First, Audio (try ALC883Audio.mpkg first, if nothing then try AzaliaAudio.pkg) http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=2036520 Second, Battery Icon Installation: 1. Download the PowerManagement.tar.gz file below to your favorite location 2. Un-archive the files. This will leave you with a PowerManagement.bundle 3. Navigate to: /System/Library/SystemConfiguration 4. (Optional) Backup your old PowerManagement.bundle 5. Copy (drag-n-drop) the new bundle into the SystemConfiguration folder 6. When the dialog box pops up, select authenticate and type your admin password 7.) Repair disc permissions (disk utility) 8. Reboot http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=2295 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=14912 Cheers, hope this helps some..

EnVmyZ Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well great! Glad to hear that! The only thing that I can think of is, if you have another operating system look at the make and model of the sound card, then do a search on these forums. Not 100% sure, but some are able to get sound modifying the AppleHDA kext (something along those lines) Just search and do some reading. Anyways, glad the battery icon works. Hope this helps others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulsion Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 not sure if this will help any but this is the link for the vista realtek hd audio driver for my laptop, i can't seem to find any hard specs for the audio card as everything just shows up as realtek hd audio http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-downl...58&os_id=28 if i'm not mistaken i think it's the same as the alc97 driver, can't seem to find one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
