HP TX1000Z Tablet Compatibility with Leopard

[Rackball]

@Dariog78 - There is work being done elsewhere on this, at the same time, if you had looked through almost 900 posts, you would have noticed this already...I agree with Wyzazz's and the_29's post about 10-15 pages prior...if everyone wants to come to this topic and only wants to know what is being done for QE/CI, he has all the right to vent...

 

@Wyzazz/the_29 - I have looked around and tried to install almost every other valid AMD distro but Leo4All V2 still comes out on top - I am not a super techie like you guys are but I would wait for something to come by which is validated by better folks like you...and the work put in by Yellow and so on...

 

@For all the noobs who post here...maybe you all should try other distro's and post your experiences and that would help before posting something like "Anything going on with QE/CI"? I also saw a post from Rackball who is inviting people to join his forum....however, my comments on that is that maybe he should update this topic with his experiences and what he has been trying to do from his side than trying to run parallel forums...This topic is by far the best you can find on TX1000/2000...

 

I have been patient and will be patient...so far I have a usable installation with V2...If you all are that impatient, maybe just go buy a real mac, I am sure some of us have a few dollars to spare

 

lol I'm a noob look man you don't know who I am and what I know so don't judge me cause I wanted to run a forum I was just trying to help get a solution to the problem not critcize people I have even helped Bhast2 himself back when he had the Leo4all forum I was Mod. I would spend countless hours researching tring to find solutions but came to the conclusion that QE/CI is not cappable on shared memeory graphic cards. I have tried EFI string injection just to name the closest so DON'T call me a noob because you obviusly don't have a clue to who I am. The only reason I ask is because I know that I'm not the only one that is tring to get QE/CI and that mabey someone came closer than I but as I can see its not going any where.

I'm not trying to pick on you man...I know if people like you give up and walk away, not everyone will be able to start all over on your forum...I never said you were a noob The message is for all the noobs who come here and only want to ask what the noob before them asked...that said, I have seen some threads on extracting the onboard rom and working with it...not sure how it will go...but we cant really give up hope, yes?

[Rackball]

its just because you included me in the noobs part but thats ok we were all noobs at one point never give up hope everyday we hopefully will be one step closer the thing is that the29 and if I recall American yellow were supposed to help with qe/ci but I never here word from them that is y I ask because American yellow a couple pages back that he was gonna make a wiki for this problem did he do it, no did I want to help, yes if not enough really smart people that know this very well on how to make kexts and stuff QE/Ci is not possible you see the answers there but no one wants to reach for it because its too hard and too much work if I knew more about kexts I would spend all my free time tring to make one for the TX beleive me

First time tester on the TX1000 using Leo4All v4.1. Everything works better than I thought~!

• Touchscreen and Ink works
  
• Native Resolution works
  
• Ethernet, Wireless works
  
• Sound works
  
• Battery Boot works
  

Things that are not working for me include:

• Sleep, I guess it is related to the QE/CI
  
• QE/CI Support
  
• Two finger scrolling (followed instructions from the install guide pdf).
  

Question:

Is there any work around to get sleep to work using another type of sleep?

Is there a way to get the scrolling to work?

Wait battery boot how? and how long does it take to battery boot?

Wait battery boot how? and how long does it take to battery boot?

 

I can do battery boot, but only at the half speed (on a tx2K with 10.5.5 toh kernel).

For this

1) install the Chameleon bootloader

2) press F9 at boot, then choose the hard drive to boot.

 

Tested ACPICPUThrottle for AMD, it showed the change of freqs, but not really worked.

 

Guess this is the bios bug. But I am interested in learning there would be a solution.

I can't get OSX86 to start up on my HP tx2110.

 

Can someone help me troubleshoot this, or refer me to posts that might address this issue?

I've read through the 48 pages (all of them) in this topic and not sure if any of them address this. Not sure about a lot of what they are talking about... The later posts say its all working so that gives me some hope. Thanks!

 

Here's how it breaks down:

 

1. Resized the windows partition to create unformatted 40GB partition

2. Downgraded firmware to F4

3. Burned LEO4ALL to DVD and installed OSX per the specifications.on tx200z, tapping the power button etc.

5. On restart followed directions to hold f9 to select HD....this is where the problems started. Wouldn't startup using the OSX or Vista. "No Operating System Found"

6. Restarted with the Leo4All DVD and reinstalled the OSX. Install showed that the OS was on the disk.Same problem.

7. Restarted and formatted the drive and reinstalled. Same problem.

8. Used the Vista Anytime Upgrade DVD to repair the Startup.

9. Vista starts up normally. Noticed that the Mac partition doesn't show up in Vista, should it?

10. Installed Easy BCD to try to get a choice of OS at startup, added Generic OSX86 Mac.

11. Restarted with EasyBCD selected NST Mac OSX... immediate restart.

 

Update - I checked my version of Leo4all -- it was v2, with 10.5.2., and i saw from the last few posts that v4.1 is out. Downloading it to try.

 

 

no we still need qe/ci and battery boot

[vinc30686]

Im wondering if anyone has tried iPCx86 on either tx1000 or 2000?? if yes, can u tell us how good or bad it compared to leo4all?

ive a tx1000z and im tired of vista. so if anyone has tested that out, please lemme know what your specifications are(like what driver and patch you installed). thank you!!

Hi to all, Here is some news.

I have installed Leo4All, using guide in this topic. And added Some fixes and packages from new Ideneb v1.4. And there is no more problems about double tap, F9 select boot and battery boot. There are some cpu halt, and shut down problems. And still needs QE/CI fix.

my installed packages

BatteryManager.pkg

FireWire_Remove.pkg

idlehalt_Fix.pkg

PowerOff_Fix.pkg

seatbelt_fix.pkg

kernel-9.5.0-Voodoo.pkg

Could you upload that package?

[viskii420]

first i want to thank all of you for the input and information on leotx1000.

Did any of you had trouble with dvd player? I upgraded the nvidia drivers

from tx1000.zip but it seems that the dvd player is acting up on it. Gives me error

a valid video device cannot be found for playback. Any input?

 

Cheers,

Vick

[drunkie]

anything about Quartz Extreme? the videos in fullscreen are too slow i think QE is the problem. i try VLC

Hi,

 

Complete newbie here.

 

I've just recently decided to try to hackintosh my TX1000. Needless to say, this thread had been tremendously useful.

 

I used LEO4ALL V4.1 and have OSX running very well. In fact, I have the machine triple booting between Vista, OS10.5.4 and Ubuntu Lynux.

 

Vista and Ubuntu work perfectly. OSX works well, minus the usual I guess.

 

I got the display working at 1280 X 800 and sound worked right off the bat. After some effort, I got Lan working.

 

The biggest problem I have is no wireless. It acts as if it should work. The OS reports that Airport is on. Not only does it not discover any networks, but it also won't work when I enter one manually.

 

Am I missing a kext or something? It seems that others have wifi working.

 

Now the big question(s).

 

Is there any way to upgrade to OS 10.5.6? I'd even be happy to buy a retail OSX disk to accomplish this, if it's possible.

 

Thanks so much for all the help, past and future.

 

Greg

Just thought I'd add a bit more to this.

 

I have NOT been able to get the built in wireless working which was starting to be a real deal breaker for me.

 

On a lark I went out and picked up one of these:

 

http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetai...424UB&cat=3

 

It was only $20 and came with a $10 rebate so I thought, what the heck.

 

It works perfectly. There is a Mac package at TrendNets website that makes this thing work instantly. One interesting thing is that it actually looks like ethernet in the network settings. I've successfully used secured and non secured networks with it.

 

At this point, aside from a few power management issues and lack of double tap on the pad, I think everything is working. I haven't tried the web cam, but it worked in setup when it asked me to take a picture of myself.

 

The only real concern now is 10.5.6. I sure would like to upgrade. Does anyone have any notion how to do this?

 

I'd also love to know how this machine stacks up against a real macbook. The XBench numbers seem a little confusing to me.

 

Best,

 

Greg

Update to 10.5.6 or whatever version you want:

[alfe]

so after reading a few pages of this post.. whats the deal with the tx2000 series seems like theres 2 issues still batter boot and wifi..has anyone fixed this issue yet?

[gfrichmond]

I successfully installed leo4all v4.1 on my tx1020ea and it's much faster than v2 on my 16GB USB Stick.

Here shortly what i've done. First install with the notes some posts before:

Second:

Install the following out of the29's tx1000 pack:

3x NV* (nvidia)

nForcEthernetDriver

appleps2controler

Touchkit

 

To fix WLAN (dv6420laPack.zip):

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=29687

 

both ACPI kexts with kexthelper.

 

Hope, this helps someone.

 

Thanks for this, it worked really well. I now have my little tx1000 dual booting windows 7 and osx. I just have 1 problem and a few questions:

 

1: Can't get the sound to work. Is there any other way to set up sound as the bios downgrade crashed on me? Got it working, but not the headphones yet.

 

2. Does the AMD update work? Or is it limited to certain things?

 

3. Is there a way of supporting external screens properly? (extend rather than duplicate)

 

4. How can I swap the @ and " keys? (very minor problem)

[JuzzMann]

hey all,

 

has anyone gotten QE/CI with GeForce 6150 GO??...just curious

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Justin

[tsogoo]

Does anyone checked this post

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=98112

 

Dv9000 have same video card, and there enabled QE. Currently I'm tired installing Mac again. Please someone check this guide and give us the result.

 

Sorry for my poor English.

[nyrol]

Not all Dv9000s had the geforce GO 6150, and the people who had ones that did, could not get QE to work.

[zaitsman]

Sorry for asking in this topic, but there's not really anything else on touchkit. Well, i have q1 ultra and b4 i installed touchkit the touchscreen worked but wasnt calibrated. Now the touchkit let me calibrate it (after reboot) but the second the calibration was over, it stopped working completely except for the calibration program! and i lost the ink in my system preferences. any1 got any ideas?

[umbro]

do you think i can use this guide to run osx on my tx2560?

[jwhitlow1031]

give it a shot.. cant hurt to try.. depends on the hardware you have really... I still can't get my wireless to work, has anyone been able to get the broadcom BCM 94321 card to work? I have the draft N card.. My computer was a custom order from hp shortly after the tx series came out.. if not has anyone gotten any other HP N card to work.. I need wireless.. havent even messed with sound as wireless is more of a deal breaker for me..

do you think i can use this guide to run osx on my tx2560?

[unlistedj]

Is screen rotation supported?

 

Can you rotate the display?

[jwhitlow1031]

not to sure about the screen however I dont see why that would be a big deal...

 

OK soo.. with a bit of work I have been able to get "everything" working,

-audio now works fine with downgraded bios BUT no headphone support ANY FIX FOR THIS YET????

-Wireless is working but using a BELKIN USB adapter with a RALINK chipset that I was able to get going after a bit of modification to the kext.. ANYONE FIND A FIX FOR THE CARD I HAVE??? (see my last post)

-Computer will run on battery but wont boot from it, ANY FIX??

-Computer seems to run a lot hotter on OS X versus windows..

-Running Lawless PPC 10.5.4 which I have had the best luck with, whats the best way to upgrade the OS from here??????

 

Any help would be great, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask
