Hello peoples,
I've been checking out zephyroth releases to try and learn FC2 on...sadly the nearest mac is miles away and its not configured correctly i think....
So, after a helluva lot of burnt disks and many hours of frustration i got 10.5.2 working...but no auto update for amd users...until Amd software update came out.
still, i keep getting all kinds of whack Sh!t happening to me. Finally, I checked out the LawlessPPC AMD release with 10.5.4
And it worked beautifully! Until the computer went into what I thought was sleep. I turned of hard disk sleep but kept on display sleep. When the computer was left alone for a few hours, it would not respond and wake from sleep/standby
So I changed the sleep setting from S3 to S1 and shazam, nyukka. No more display sleep problem for now. Many things from video to imovie to front row now run good, i am trying to get fc2 to try and see if it will at least run/startup
after install, i needed to use zephyroth universal installer for nvidia kexts and got latest nvinject, then edited geforce.kext, nvdaresman.kext, nvdar40.kext to have my vendor and hardware id, then used nvinject instructions to get that working and bam. full qe/ci. patched audio with this cmi8738 kext cause i got one of those cards and now audio works. patched my wg311t with the io80211family.kext and now wireless works. bitchin!
So, in review
1x DVD PATA - working out of box
1x DVDRW PATA - working out of box
1 x firewire 400 - working out of box, though it didn't the very first time i tried lawless, go fig
4 x usb - working out of box
1 x sound card cmi8738 - needed cmi8738.kext
1 x wireless card wg311t - needed io80211family.kext
4 x sata drives - working out of box, with two drivers in a software raid setup in disk utility
1 x ethernet - haven't tried it but worked on zephyroth releases
ps/2 ports - working out of box
dual display - haven't tried, will update
clone display - haven't tried but has worked on previous zephyroth releases
qe/ci - working with zephyroth universal installer and nvinject + nvinject instructions found on site.
display sleep (since real sleep tends to be problematic on amd machines. its a mac why the eff should it sleep.) - working, by changing acpi from S3 to S1 in bios->> power management . So when the display goes to sleep you'll be able to wake.
time machine - who the hell uses that? just super duper for real backup.
