any rumors about in mic?
 
Hello! Got this laptop in week ago. Good for OSX 10.6.2 , but two bad things: only out mic with VoodoHDA and bag video perform with strings. Any rumors about int mic?

alexv,

tendras que editar tu dsdt para coregir el 5.1. Es una pesadilla, pero no es dificil. Eso, o esperar por algun avanzo en el voodooHDA o otro kext. O entonces, en casa, una trajetita usb compatible no soluciona. lamentablemente, no puedo ayudar mas que esto...

Iven,

about mic, sorry. Either voodooHDA development, or dsdt fixing, which is very complicated.

are you absolutely sure the hardware specs are the same? the slightest difference in video card and my string may very well not work properly. Either go for NVDarwin and or several others around, you'll have to search. Re-read the part about video in my tutorial. The absolute best is generating your own string, which is very very easy, but... the first time I saw it I almost fainted !

FORGET ABOUT THE REST OF THE THREAD ! YOU WILL GO MAD !

stick to the first post, and I'll a bit more. After the last RED highlighted text,

- open "graphics.hex" with text edit app
- copy the string to your com.apple.Boot.plist, explained in my tutorial !
- Delete any video kexts you might have installed to try to fix it
- Repair Permissions
- Reboot

Hey ... Happy new year!!!!

Anybody did update to 10.6.2 ?

Gurruwiwi 01-04-2010 05:17 PM

Yes I did... on my brand new Dell mini 10v !! :p

Gave this Acer laptop to my Dad for x-mas! I actually built a Flight Simulator X rig, including cockpit, dual screen, without OC'ing, this laptop runs BETTER than full blown desktop counterparts!

AMAZING ! Get better FPS, stabler, wow!

Building a i7 rig next, but not to hack... for serious production suit. My 10v covers my Apple needs.

Waiting to check on that iSlate thingie around the corner...

Hey, I've read this thread and I'm running 10.6.2 64bit in my aspire 8930G, it is working great (except for minor things like mic in). For the wifi i'm using the dell 4930 mini pcie card which works out of the box!

The only thing I was wondering is if someone can give me some tips on getting the sleep to work properly... (if that is possible)...

Upgrading to 10.6.2
 
1 Attachment(s)
So I followed this guide and was able to successfully install Snow Leopard on both my Acer 6930 and Acer 5735 (no video drivers tho for the 5735). Everything works on both of them great until I try and install the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
Once it is done install I get an error message at start up. (I took a picture of the screen). It happens on both laptops but I have read that most people (besides netbooks) can install this upgrade without any problems. Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Cappy

Super post on SL on 6935g, thanks, but as didn't have another mac I had to use a SnowOX universal to start it off.

I followed your instructions on setting up graphics card on my 6935g 1080p machine, but failed to get the external VGA out working when the device-properties key with your graphics hex.

Funnily enough,if I don't use any graphics device key, I can use VGA out but as you know resolution and GPU is not used properly.

Any solutions anyone?

Would really appreciate your help as have an external monitor I desperately need to use.
