I have two of these machines.

Did a drive sync with SuperDuper!

Updated one to 10.6.3. It had a kernel panic on SleepEnabler. Booted to the SuperDuper backup, Updated the main drive to the new 10.6.x SleepEnabler, rebooted and it booted fine.

No audio.

Tried the VoodooHDA method for audio from tonymacx86 but it did not work. Then tried the 10.6.2 AppleHDA method and sound is back.

EDIT: BOTH VoodooHDA from MultiBeast, AND the 10.6.2 AppleHDA were required for sound to work for me again!

Running 10.6.3 now and everything seems good!

I'm running GeForce 9400 with native dual-monitor support out of the box! Only $35 from NewEgg.

I just update to 10.6.3 and was having issues of my display being "oversized". By this I mean that the sides and top/bottom are off the screen causing me to not even be able to see my menu bar at the top and cutting off some of the dock. I am using a Asus 9400 with a HDTV as my display. What can I do to fix this problem? I already made sure I do not have screen zoom turned on. I just got done wiping the HD and reinstalling from scratch. Same issue. It works fine under 10.6 (and also had 0 issues in 10.6.2) but as soon as I update to 10.6.3 it starts oversizing the screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?

read on another blog 10.6.3 was safe, boy was i stupid for not checking here first.


ati 9400gt i have a wierd bluish tint on my screen now

sound is not working

i originally did the update with sleep enabler still in my kexts folder, and ofcourse i got a kernel panic. i removed it on another install, but im faced with the other problems stated above

Here's my less than perfect update log...

- Made backups of Extras and the 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext (in S/L/E)
- Downloaded the Combo Update from the Apple website (via browser)
- Moved SleepEnabler.kext out of Extras
- Applied Update.. let it finish
- Restart
- got a KP - Reboot.. insert USB key from original install, boot from that.. drop into Terminal.. cd to /Volumes/Extra/Extensions... WTF.. SleepEnabler is still there.... rm -r -f SleepEnabler.kext
- Reboot .. comes up this time
- USB is dead.. unplug kbd and mouse.. plug them back in.. now they are alive
- No audio (figured I'd check)
- Tried File->Sleep... display shuts off but not machine.. cannot get it back
- Shutdown/Reboot
- Move 10.6.3 AppleHDA.kext to a backup folder
- Run 10.6.2 AppleHDA.kext installer
- Copy SleepEnabler for 10.6.3 to E/E
- run kext util
- reboot
- Audio is working
- Go to File->Sleep. Display turns off... machine does not.. machine will not wake up either.

EDIT: Ok, I'm just stupid... I accidentally copied SleepEnabler to Extra.. not Extra/Extensions.. all was good...
EDIT2: I lost sound.. see below and it gets worse

After replacing SleepEnabler, DONT FORGET TO BOOT WITH -f to force Extensions reload

3 stats, new scores in green
E5200 @ 2.5GHz -> E5200 @ 2GHz 10.6.2 -> E5200 @ 3GHz 10.6.3

I am however noticing a real oddity with mplayer.. suddenly my system is "too SLOW to play this" with almost every video! (it was plenty fast before).

Video in VLC seems ok.. but wtf.. suddenly I have lost audio (no audio device), even tho it was working yesterday... off to investigate.

So to get sound back.. I ran the AppleHDA 10.6.2 installer again... rebooted into a KP...

the KP messages look like its related to Eltima SyncMate.. so I rebooted in safe mode (-x) and removed that kext (don't use SyncMate anymore anyway....)... and then ran Kext Utility.

Rebooted.

Things look better again.. I have audio, and video is playing at speed with mplayer.

Strange...

Sucessfully update to 10.6.3 with new SleepEnabler.kext. Sound is working without any problems... May be I changed kexts early.

Thanks.

Tried this, hoping it might fix the USB device removal warning.

On entering sleep, drives stayed running but OS slept and would not wake. Forced reboot and reinstalled SleepEnabler.

10.6.3 still running smoothly.

Thank you for every help in this thread...

I'm a g31m-es2l mobo user..

Anybody here like this?
