AppleNForceATA x32/x64 version recompiled.

[pαuℓzurrr.]

Does this kext provide DVD reading/writing fucntions?

[eMatoS]

Yea, it seems it will take a while to get amd systems run in 64bit normally but it's just a matter of time until someone get it done. Hope to see that soon though.

We're supporting you Andy, Qoopz,Voodoo team and anyone else willing to take the challenge!!!

EDIT:
@pαuℓzurrr: I haven't been able to test DVD support cause for some strange reason Snow Leopard won't detect my IDE DVD drive. I've tried different nforceata and changed the device port but it's no use. Maybe it's because it's just a reader.

it seems that all my problems were due to wrong settings in smbios.plist, i've changed them to MacPro3,1 settings and corrected memory timings and fsb and everething works fine now, no strange KPs, no lags or something... usb mouse pointer is smooth didn't know that smbios.plist affects something, thought it was just cosmetics

fixed "out of 32bit" KP. reuploaded. =)

Hey sulphide and eMatoS, I a use the same motherboard as you guys. What kexts do you use in your extra folder?

[eMatoS]

I'm using these kexts:

AppleNForceATA (extra)
AppleACPIPS2Nub (for my PS2 keyboard and mouse -- extra)
VoodooPS2Controller (won't load from extra so it's in sys/lib/ext)
Evosreboot (reboot fix, I'm searching for a no kext alternative -- extra)
fakesmc (extra)
AppleAC97Audio (sys/lib/ext -- patched for the alc840)
NForceLAN (won't load from extra)

Also I have installed the AppleRTL8139Ethernet for my extra lan device, luckily my GeForce 8400GS is working fine with Chameleon.

If you want I can upload them, they're all x32/x64, so I'm just waiting for a full working 64bit kernel.

@eMotoS

Have you set the OSBundleRequired property to root for VoodooPS2Controller? Or does it require other kexts in the same folder like ApplePS2Controller.kext ApplePS2Trackpad.kext ApplePS2Keyboard.kext and/or ApplePS2Mouse.kext

I have not needed it for any projects but I was just curious.

Ya if you could upload them that be great.

@Lanceomni: I don't remember well but I think there was a problem with some kext dependencies when it was loaded from /extra, then I tried from /s/l/e and it worked, but I guess I could have studied the issue. Also I want to avoid modifying any vanilla kext so the updates can be as smooth as possible.

@crimsonangel: Here are all the kexts I've mentioned before, also there goes my dsdt in case you want to take a look at it. I'm using AnV/Qoopz/voodoo kernel and chameleon 2 RC4 by rekursor.

Have you noticed and problems with your mouse after prolonged usage? I use a usb mouse and keyboard and after a while the mouse begins to jump around the screen sporadically eventually to a point where it is impossible to do anything.

(edit: Im trying out the disabler kext to see if that solves my problem)

(edit 2: The disabler kext seemed to have decreased the problem but after a while there is still a slightly noticeable quivering of the mouse when moving around and very minute jumping)

(edit 3: The mouse just went wild for no apparent reason it jumped wildly all over the screen and after about 20 min went back to the normal very slight jumpiness and then back to the huge sporadic jumps a few min later. Does anyone know a fix for this? Disabler.kext does not work)
