First timer - need some help refining!

[barehandspank]

Hi all!

I've been working on putting together my first OS X86 machine, and have it seemingly up and running stable.

I'm looking for some advice on what I've done so far, what I plan to do, and what I need to do!

 

First, check my signature, has my hardware listed out. I've done a clean install from the Leo4all v2 install disk, checking off the AMD fix, and the nforce chipset drivers, no other drivers. Here's what works and what doesn't:

 

(Currently have SATA and RAID disabled, along with the onboard NVIDIA LAN)

 

Audio does not work (I've tried installing both the Azalia HD audio packages included, no luck)

 

Realtek 8139D does work - but are there better drivers out there for it?

 

Graphics do not work (using both the included packeges, and the nv4.1 installer)

** I have got the card to seemingly work using the following method**

 

(1) essential files

o ( http://rapidshare.com/files/78277297/gefor...2_kext.zip.html )

o ( http://rapidshare.com/files/78277298/OpenG...k-1052.zip.html )

o ( http://nvinject.free.fr/downloads.php ) ( Latest_NVinject.0.2.0.zip or Latest_NVinject0.2.0_installer.zip )

( After using 0.1.7, 0.2.0 came out. )

 

(2) After deleting the OpenGL.framework folder in /System/Library/Frameworks, copying the 10.5.2 OpenGL.framework folder to /System/Library/Frameworks.

( OpenGL.framework-1052.zip must be unzipped in a HFS+ (Mac) partition [ not a FAT32 or NTFS partition ]. )

( hellspawn : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...7020&st=100 )

( I failed in installing the drivers for 10 hours because of not knowing about OpenGL.framework. ^^; )

 

(3) Editing the info.plists of the 4 kexts

[ GeForce.kext & NVinject.kext : <key>IOPCIMatch</key> => <string>0x040210de</string> ]

[ NVDANV50Hal.kext & NVDAResman.kext :<key> IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> =><string>0x040210de</string> ]

( Known device IDs : http://nvinject.free.fr/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5 )

( Editing device IDs : http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2077 )

 

(4) Copying 15 kexts( GeForce.kext , GeForce2MXGLDriver.bundle , GeForce3GLDriver.bundle , GeForce7xxxGLDriver.bundle , GeForce8xxxGLDriver.bundle , GeForceFXGLDriver.bundle , GeForceGA.plugin , GeForceVADriver.bundle , NVDANV10Hal.kext , NVDANV20Hal.kext , NVDANV30Hal.kext , NVDANV40Hal.kext , NVDANV50Hal.kext , NVDAResman.kext , NVinject.kext ) to /System/Library/Extensions

 

(5) Terminal : Typying sudo -s , and then typying your password

(6) bash-3.2# cd /System/Library/Extensions && chown -R root:wheel * && chmod -R 755 *

(7) bash-3.2# rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

(8) bash-3.2# rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/ && rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/

(9) bash-3.2# diskutil repairpermissions / and then rebooting ( boot option : -v -f )

 

( Summary )

First of all, applying [method 1 : (1) + (2) + (4) + (5) + (6) + (7) + (9)] , and then if you fail, trying [method 2 : (1) ~ (9)]

 

Is this a good way to do this? Am I screwing anything up there?

 

I know this is general, but I thought I'd see if I could find someone with a similar setup and suggestions.

I'd like to find a good audio solution, and speed up my boot times (very slow, seems to wait on AppleNForceATA::scanForDrives found 0 units???)

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm ready to get rid of Windows!

use the kexthelper in aplications just drag the kext files to it and it loads and cleans no typing!!!!
