That is only half the story.
Kamal, read this thread carefully and in detail. By the endc you will understand what is involved to get audio to be perfect. I didnt manage to do it because at the time I didnt understand the difference between Leo and SL kext caching, so even if had done it right, it would never work. Probably next holiday break I will attempt to patch dsdt again http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide...urround-t3746/ |
If you get the your dsdt patch to work, does your patch work for me? Or must i patch it too?
Is it not the same computer? Best regards Kamal |
dsdt works like this, more or less in simple terms,
Bios <-> DSDT <-> Operating System It is a table of code, extracted from specific Bios information, not only generic (how much RAM) but specific to graphic memory, audio card special features, sleep mode and lot of extra. OSx reads Bios made for Mac, so dsdt is a little different for PCs, but highly compatible. You can open up the dsdt and fix all the issues, that part is a bit tricky, but not dangerous at all. So, unfortunately, yes, you have to make your own dsdt. But, since our systems are so very similar, most our issues will be the same, so we can share the code for you to fix it too. But you will have to manually insert it yourself. Unfortunately I have no idea when I will the time and courage to start this task... |
Perfekt information...
I will see if i can manage anything of it to day maybe i will succed.
But later to day. Hope it will work. Decomp.. the dstd file. the first thing didnt find AZAL maybe it is another thing on 6935g. Best Regards Kamal |
Mine was AZAL, had to change to HDEF. See, one of the reasons you have to make your own dsdt patch, decompile, fix, recompile.
Then, quick ApplHDA patching and it should work. Kamal, I do warn you though, that I had SERIOUS issues that made me have to re-install SL all over again. So be sure to back-up all important info. It is not an easy job, so unless you use Mic In all the time, it would be better just to go out and buy a compatible, cheap, USB headphone with microphone, or just microphone, or a simple USB soundcard. |
Send me your file let me see it.
Maybe i looked at wrong place. Best regards Kamal |
Battery Problem
Hi Guys,
I have an Acer Aspire 6935, it runs perfect with Snow Leopard, but there is one problem. First I didn't installed it with this tutorial. I installed it from a external Kalyway 10.5.2 Hard Drive. (Format Hard Drive, Insert Retail DVD, open OSInstall.mpkg, install SL to my Hard Drive ...) and I installed Chameleon RC3 with Terminal to my EFI Partition. Snow Leopard starts, only sound didn't work (now it works with VoodooHDA), but my battery isn't reorganised correctly. The battery doesn't load... , the system crashes when starting with battery or removing the cable. (Black Screen but Notebook is still running.) Also Standby or Hibernation isn't working. The Screen goes black but the notebook is still on like the battery error. That's why I think it's only one error. Here is a list of my kexts, hope you could help me: EFI: voodoops2controller.kext openhaltrestart.kext voodoobattery.kext attansicL1eEthernet.kext LegacyAppleAirportBrcm4311.kext fakesmc.kext PlatformUUID.kext SLE: VoodooHDA.kext Any idea which kext is missing? |

Kamal - ok, here you go, let me know what you find out! Anyone finding this post, unless you have my exact and perfectly same model, do NOT use this for your installations!
Drakulix, The sleep/hibernation problem is one of the most common problem for everyone. The only way to fix this properly is to manually patch the dsdt.aml file, just like Kamal is trying for audio. So please refer back a couple of posts back for some info. This is one of my goals too, basically, sleep and mic in are the final thing I need to have to perfect clone of a macbook pro. But I dont have much time for this at the moment. About the battery manager. I too have experienced KP when taking out the power plug and running the battery. But that happened like, once only! Since then, stable and good readings. I would suggest you run Kext Utility app and repair permissions. |
Hi Gurriwiwi..

I used your dsdt.aml file and it works.
Worked like my org. dsdt.aml file i used before.. Did you change anything in your dsdt.aml file? This is my org. dsdt.aml file in the attatchment.. Im using yours dsdt.aml file know. Does that mean that you have exact my model. BEST regards Kamal |
Glad to hear it! But what do you mean, you have mic in now?
Yes, I changed the AZAL entry to HDEF, so that AppleHDA (patched) or Voodoo recognize it. No, it doesn't mean we have the same model ( I dont have blue-ray, graphic specs are very different for instance 1GB gddr2 vs 512 gddr3)) but since it so close, it worked... For instance, your audio might have worked but could be left without graphics. Imagine you used a dsdt from another brand or entirely different Acer line, you might not be able to even boot great news! :) EDIT: Oh, ok I understand now, you have audio just like with your own original dsdt. That is to be expected, as with Chameleon and special kexts, most of modern computers work 95%. It is the special features that fail, like wake/sleep/hiberbation, microfone/spif 5.1, external monitor or HDMI, ethernet for some people, etc... For that, you have to manually patch your dsdt |
Okej... I returend to my DSDT. Your DSDT worked but no mic.
The problem i DIDNT find ASAL in the unpacked the aml file. Where did you find it? Best regards Kamal |

No problems with specs except wifi card. Incompatible. You can easily swap it very cheap, or use usb wifi sticks.
Read the guide carefully, you should have no problems... if you do, we're here to help out keep posting! |

alexv,
Si, pruebalo! tienes que leer bien el tutorial, pero no es muy dificil ! |
Hola,
Gracias, ya lo he conseguido. Lo unico que no he podido es que mi tarjeta de sonido solo funciona en stereo. tengo una alc888/1200 y no encuentro la manera. Me puedes ayudar?. Gracias. |
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 ! http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=222.0 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 ? |
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 |

Thanks damnesiac! I just followed the guide above and am up to date. |
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. |
PLEEAASSE PLEEEAASEEE SOMEONE solve my VGA out problem on 6935g after this snow leopard installation. Would really appreciate some help or pointing me in the right direction, desperately want to plug in an external monitor :(

VGA Confusion
I also have a 6935g with 512mb 9600, adding your string to the boot.plist worked fine. but ive noticed that a few people have mentioned having full QE CI support. when I check mine in "about this mac" there is no mention of Quartz Extreme or CI, i remember on 10.5 and below it used to say supported or not supported.
I'm asking because I installed oblivion and It seems to be working fine except for no 3d graphics, the hud is there the cut scenes play and i have audio?? I can hear footsteps when i use the arrow keys. I was planning to use this as my primary operating system but I cant with no 3D Any help would be nice, thank you |
I'm running into a few issues here, mainly with creating the USB installer.
I don't have access to any machines running (snow) leopard, and i can't create a virtual environment within windows 7 or ubuntu because i can't enable hardware acceleration without modding the bios. I have a 6935g, more or less the same internals as the one you're using. However, i do have an old dual usb ibook g3 running tiger, so i didn't think creating the usb would be a problem. I used your guide to creating the installer word for word, but my laptop never seems to want to boot off the usb even with the bios set to boot from it. I'm just wondering where i'm going wrong, i thought i went wrong by leaving the partition scheme as "apple partition map" so i created the usb again using "Master Boot Record" thinking that'd solve my problem, but it didn't, and for some strange reason, the ibook just hangs when i try to use GUID as a partition scheme, although it didn't when i partitioned the seagate drive i'll be using to install os x onto. One strange thing i noticed while creating the installer, is when i got as far as installing Chameleon 2 onto the usb, it didn't create an "extra" folder, even when all files were made visible. Sorry for the long post, but do you've any idea where i'm going wrong? |

no luck at all for my card reader (have tried many) but my solution for now is an Expresscard adapter card reader (cheap generic one off ebay) which sits flush in the otherwise unused slot. in my original (non-working) card reader i keep an SD to micro SD adapter so all is well :cool: i have the sleep enabler 10.6.4 but when i try to sleep it instantly wakes. i think there is a kext which is loaded to do just that, anyone tell me which one it is so i can disable it to try sleep? |
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
Hi,
Does anyone know what kexts I need to get the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT to support QE/CI and VGA out (OS X 10.6.7)? I added the code but that didn't help. I am able to get 256 of my 512 MB of VRAM to be recognized and 1440 x 900 resolution. This is without NVEnabler or NVEnabler 64. When I add those with NVDANV50Hal it stops at the end of the verbose boot. Please help. Thanks |
