Ok removed the link. didnt know.

Okej i do not have Chameleon 2 as bootloader. do i need it?

Found 2 dsmos one in the library and one in the System/library

Removed dsmos from the both places and now SL does not boot anymore. silly me... hehe... ''

Should install SL from the start again. But will go and find an USB 8GB to install it from USB. faster..

Do you running SL on your 6935G? I was Running iPC 10.5.7 with i uppdate from Apple it worked fine but would like to try SNOW..seems faster or better.

Have you not any packed only to Acer 6935G kext. or i only need this too kext. in A_Falult?'''

Hope you can answer soon will be pleased.

Best regards

KamalAhmad

Ah, definitely for sure! It is always best to generate your own. Use gfxutil method, I'll look for it too to include in the tutorial, but have to sleep now.

You're lucky because it seems we use the same PCI root like I described in my Leo tutorial, but that can vary quite easily. And maybe because mine is GDDR3, and 512gb ram, will most likely not take best use of your card.

How is you audio working?

i'm tring to understand something about the gfxutil metod ... plenty tuts around but also plenty confusion ! :-) This w.e. I will try to do something.

The sound is like in leopard : only 2 speakers no subwoofer.
I didnt try the mic yet.

mascal71 · #4 10-02-2009, 06:32 PM

ok !
I used gfxutil to get my vga hex string and I wrote it down in the com.apple.boot file.

Now I have to modify NVDANV50HAL.kext and NVDAResman with the VGA vendorID & productID : how I can get them?

PS: I dont have windows intalled on my HD anymore

Gurruwiwi · #5 10-02-2009, 06:48 PM

Well.. for me the string was all it took, woke up with vanilla install of SL.

I only needed special kexts for audio and ethernet...

(albeit still have to test lots of stuff like speedstep... my fans are always mid speed, no sleep, no mic in, no vga out...)

So maybe I too need to do that, but I have full QE/CI... dont know how to test openGL properly.

Beware that xbench is far from accurate. Use Geekbench too!

You can download a linux live cd distro and boot that, extract the info from there. "lspci" command might be what you need. Unfortunately it doesnt come stock with OSX. in Leopard, if you install OSxTools, and click "view hardware" or something like that, it will ask to install the command to Console. Then you can manually run the command at any time. It will be part of most, if not all, linux live CD's and DVD's

HI, Gurriuwiwi...

Okej, I get the picture Gurruwiwi.

I Installed OSX Snow Leopard and it working greate, some trimming to do.

I used folowing kext.

AtlansicL1eEthernet.kext = Networkdriver
VoodooBattery.kext = Batterystatus (buggy)
VoodoHDA.kext
Chameloeon 2 RC3
Used your string for GraphicsCard (Nvidia 6900M GT 512MB) and used the program EFIStudio to write it to com.apple.boot.plist and it worked fine.

So my question is:.

Have you fixed the kext for:

audio
Cardreader

(THIS WORKED FOR ME ON LEOPARD BUT NOT IN SNOW...)

If you have Information please share, what kext do you use for that?

PS: I will look to replace dsmos to fakesmc V2 when i get the information how to do it.

BEST REGARDS / KamalAhmad

A have SnowOSX Universal 10.6 v3.5 distro and installed it from dvd.

Okej i Restore it to USB and install it from DVD and put the A_Fault_. Folder in the root.

But why must i changed files and must i have another mac and remove the HD from my laptop 6935G.

I installed it from the dvd directly and it worked but the Network and audio didnt work.

So what is the different than your way?

I can install chameleon 2 Rc3 too should it be different? In what way?

I only wounder why...

BEST REGARDS...

Like I said, there are many ways to do things, and since Snow is this young, I prefer to install everything manually to have control. It is very easy to follow, and you will learn how the OS is built up.

Yes, it might have worked ok for you, but might not work for everyone! With my tutorial, the only difference is that it is not pre-patched like your distro to do automated stuff.

Plus, it is already "outdated" as it still uses dsmos. fakesmc is better and faster and way more compatible for most people. Also using chameleon 1 will certainly complicate life of many people.

All in all, basically you get the same thing, except my tutorial, although more "hands on" will certainly offer a better solution. If you stumble across a problem it is WAY easier to identify the cause and fix it, with distro's you are lost if you are not a Terminal ninja.

But, if it worked for you, congratulations! now you only need to find the right kexts for your missing hardware.
