Woooowwww!!!

Thanks a lot guys, the sound is now working

Big milestone ... huge thanks Clubber_77, I really appreciate your help man.

Now, I'm on to patching the Wifi so that it will be always on. I don't like to use the USB Wifi that I bought, because it makes use of the CPU, and it makes the batter power drained a lot faster.

flip360, how do you know that your SpeedStep works? Me, I have bought a small software called CoolBook ... It allows me to control the CPU voltage and frequencies, to auto-throttle it or manually lock it to the lowest speed.
Actually, mine have 2133, 1600 and 800 MHz speeds ... and it saves some battery time when I lock it to the lowest speed.

I have tried DSDT patching to get vanilla SpeedStep, but it didn't seem to work. Or, may be, I don't know how to check whether it works or not ... but now, with that software, I can see that it is working.

Exactly the same software, I dunno if theres a way for us to check it otherwise but i think that either its running or not

Also during boot i can see that the applecpupowermanager and client are loading up, just mine coolbook shows 2000, 1600 and 1200 speedstepping respectively, and about the Wifi check my previous post

Cheers

I don't use WiFi, ethernet only...

so I can wait

I've removed VoodooHDA, put AsusK50IN.kext and HDAEnabler into E/E, replaced AppleHDA in S/L/E and the icon is still greyed out.

Should I try putting AsusK50IN and HDAEnabler into S/L/E instead?

No...
put AsusK50IN.kext and HDAEnabler into E/E...
You must to put original AppleHDA.kext & IOAudioFamily.kext from post#94 into your S/L/E also...
run Kext Utility & reboot...

Thanks, I tried that after posting, and it works! Awesome job, Thanks!

I still can't figure out why this machine won't find my network printers when every other mac/Hackintosh can....

My trackpad has stopped working. I reinstalled the VoodooPS2 kext, no go.

Possibly stopped working after getting sound installed.

Any idea what happened here?

RGGG, try running kext utility, when the perms are messed up on my extra extensions i have a keyboard, but no trackpad.

RGGG · #**109** 11-28-2009, 03:18 AM

Hmm, I'll try that again, last time I tried the kext utility without installing any kext's, it kept coming up "Waiting system rebuild "Snow Leo" "Extensions.mkext" and would time out, but If I install a kext, then run kext utility it rebuilds fine it says!

Weird....

RGGG · #**110** 11-28-2009, 03:37 AM

Rebuilt using Kext Utility, VoodooPS2 is in E/E as well as S/L/E....No dice

Would it have anything to do with the ACERK50IN.kext, keep in mind I am on AcerK60 (Basically the same unit, larger screen, but everything till now has worked!

Tried the trackpad in Ubuntu and it works fine

Edit: Rebuilt with kextutility about a dozen times, no go, reinstalled, VooDooPS2 kext, no go, installed VooDooPS2Trackpad kext, no go. Dunno what could have caused it!

I don't see any mention of keyboard or mouse in system profiler, but I don't think I ever did!

Oddly, I just noticed, my mac is listed as a Mac Pro, and in system preferences, I have separate options for keyboard and mouse instead of the usual "keyboard & mouse setting" found on macbooks
