10.5.2 Due Soon

Woah, i wonder how big is the combo update...

lol, this is the biggest update i have seen

If it's patching things though won't it be replacing a lot of files rather than adding therefore not actually taking up 1.2gb more HD space?

Woah, i wonder how big is the combo update...

Can't be much bigger... it's only going from 10.5 to 10.5.2 ... maybe 10 megs or so.

It did take up 1gig. I'm running it. XD

so its works with efi 8.0?

{censored}! 1.2gb? lol

apple doesn't offering a update and so a brand new os to us.

I can confirm with this update (the latest one, not the "2nd one") that I no longer have any PDF freeze / crash or iPhoto crash with those NVIDIA drivers.

NVIDIA drivers seem final to me, fps are even better each update !

tell me more about the performance gain under iphoto

I was just think its happened because my nvd card isn't really powerful to handle with it. (fx5200 128mb agp8x)

Does anyone know the day when will be release? I can't wait

I think its expected to be released by coming Friday as stated earlier by somebody in this thread.

Performances on iphoto ? what do you mean ? I was talking about overall OpenGL Performances.

Well I'm gonna have a really hard time waiting for the update. I love updates. Unless if they're on Vista because they take forever.

And they don't install, I got a huge list of updates that didn't want to install.

They still didn't update the core x3100 driver -- I've tried reinstalling the drivers twice, and Apple's only made changes to the FB and Frame Buffer kexts... my dock is still sluggish (Well, here's to 10.5.3!)

Otherwise everything else is quite snappier compared to 10.5.1!

These kind of updates are what separates Apple from Microsoft. While the core OS is very functional, they've obviously listened to complaints about little problems (on/off switch for translucent Menu Bar, hierarchal Stacks menus) in addition to the usual bug fixes. No waiting months for service packs that just introduce more problems, fix a few bugs, and ignore the fine touches requested by users.

Wow... I can just imagine 10.5.9 combo update.

It will called 10.6

Actually there are new X3100 OGL bundles + core kexts in the Graphics Update package that comes with 9C20.

What kexts are they?

The gmax3100 kext that I found in my extensions folder after installing the Graphics Update package hasn't been modified since "October".

Like I said theres gmax3100fb and intel frame buffer...

I can't "view contents" of package -- just incase the installer isn't copying over the kext, so therefore I suffer with sluggish graphics

If you're worried about viewing the package while installing, use the command "ls -lR <path>" (lowercase "L" letters in both cases) in Terminal. This will list the folder you specify and all subfolders with details (file sizes, timestamps, permissions etc.). I believe you can do this even without root privileges, since you're only reading.

But hey, lying makes you look cool.

So I updated to 10.5.2 build 9C20. Install was a little painful on the hackintosh side of things. I had to re-add all my kexts for my system.

Such as...

AppleSmbios

AppleACPIPlatform

AppleHDA

This was all re-added after the update took place. Also I had to remove AppleEFIRuntime and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kexts to get this thing to boot properly.

So this basically means no more easy updates until Netkas and the crew figure it out. All in all this build is amazingly rock solid. I've been trying to break it for a couple hours and can't seem to. Which is a good thing.

I'm using a Nvidia 7xxx series card (7900GS 256) and the new graphics drivers are great. The dock animations are faster. The same could be said about minimizing a window too. The animations are smooth as silk. I'm sure the official update will drop within a week or two.

Were you running PC_EFI before the update?

Yes and still am.

I didn't look at the version but I had the same problem with NVIDIA drivers and they were in fact updated... It seems you need to DELETE old kexts to put the new one, else they aren't updated correctly... Don't ask me why but GeForce.kext was still an old version while it was actually updated : so I deleted the old one and got the new one correctly installed.
