I couldnt read all the post so please forgive me if its already answered

Were you guys able to get the onboard graphics working? Full resolution and QE support?

If so please give me some sort of a guide or tip....

Thanks in advance

Ok, I am for the most part new to dsdt patching.. Here's my problem.

I used the dsdt.aml from the snow.zip. Install goes great, boots up great. Only, I have no networking at all! I have an asus 138g-wl wireless pci card (I think that's it, works well in 10.5). My board is the ES2L version 2, so I know that builtin Ethernet does not work.

Anyway, if I remove the dsdt.aml from the zip in this guide and replace it with the one I was using for 10.5 (just the rtc fix), network starts right up.. But I lose the fixes in the new dsdt! Like, the CMOS reset fix, sound, etc..

Any suggestions? I looked at the decompiled versions of the old versus the new, I have no idea what I am looking at though.

Thanks.

AFAIK it's not working so buy a cheap video card like the 9500GT or higher.

it's always recommended to create your own DSDT, ive attached my own dsdt for comparison only but w/ the same board it can still be used. please check the credits on page 1, all the fixes are there and linked (audio, RTC, EHCi). You can use DSDT SE by Evoteam for simple copy paste patching or you can use other tools out there using the newer iASL sept. version

Hi - this is a noob question

How do install the dsdt.aml file?

I ask this because I installed Snow Leopard using the lifehacker guide for another gigabyte board, it works fine, except some things like audio.

Now, I know there is a dsdt file in this guide, how can I apply it to my install?

Thanks!

No issues here with practicaly same mobo so it isnt SleepEnabler related m8.

Are you using all the kexts provided in this (or my) guide?

I'm using SleepEnabler.kext, dsmos.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, OpenHaltRestart.kext, PlatformUUID.kext and VoodooHDA.kext.

The sleep works in Leopard and SL x32 (i use SleepEnabler.kext in both), but KP in x64. I asked to a member with the same mobo and he has the same problem!

Can it be releated with the DSDT.aml i'm using ?

any help is appreciated

thanks cheers!

I dont think this is dsdt related because 32bit seems to work properly. Permissions are ok? no errors in kext utility, terminal or disk utility?

You are using the 64bit Sleepenabler?

Try sleep in x64 safe mode (-x) and report back.

I had a flawless SL install. But had to mess with things. Tried fakesmc by netkas. And had a kernel panic while repairing permissions. Now I get a kernel panic when waking from sleep. Restored my TM backup but still the same. Reinstalled SL using this guide (Install disk image restored to a partition on another drive), no problems there. but still same problem. Anybody have an idea? No package errors in disk utility. Repair permissions completes with no problems in disk utility and kext utility. Rebuilding of mkext also successful for S/L/E and /Extra.

Ok.. i replaced the SleepEnabler.kext i was using with the one attached in the main thread. After a permissions repair it seems to work, i will investigate further in the next days.
BTW i replaced dsmos.kext with the new fakesmc.kext from netkas.

Cheers and thanks for your help!

received a few PM's asking me why they are having a kernel panic and why it's not working with them, again your mileage may vary if you will try this on a different board. i only tested this guide and quite a few times already on my machine with the spec listed on the first page.

dont just secretly send it to me, Please post here the problem and maybe members here including me can help.

@ saintjoe, glad that the guide worked for you too bad your having sleep problems, have you tried removing nullcpu and just let the apple PM run?
