I've had quite a lot of success installing Iatkos 7 on my N120.
There's this weird thing where the trackpad won't always work the same from one install to the next... it seemed to me that when I check only VoodooPS/2 and not the trackpad plugin during install, then my tap-to-click works. Otherwise it works but there is no tap-to-click.. and I must use the button. The last time I installed, I checked the Broadcom 43xx driver because I just installed the card, and I checked only VoodooPS/2 but this time I have no luck with the tap-to-click... the trackpad works, the vertical scrolling of pages work. Now I reinstall without using the BCM 43xx driver and here we go again, no tap-to-click.... I tried installing the VoodooPS/2 0.98 package and the prefpane etc is there and I see the trackpad usage improves in all sorts of ways but there is still no tap-to-click...??!!
What is it I don't get right?
How I install Iatkos 7 on my Samsung N120 with a working XP to start:
I basically use this guide: http://myhpmini.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1633
I use only primary partition which I create with partition master (easus - free)
DDMAC + rebooting, choosing the new item in boot.ini (a fast F8 may be required to access another boot menu right after I select MacOSInstall).
I don't select the same things at install than in the guide. I leave everything as it is and I check only ( so i don't check ohr, usb or anything like that - i leave it as it is except):
-Speedstep
-VoodooPS/2(but not the one with trackpad support, strangely, as I explained)
-Laptop battery
-NTFS-3g
Then it installs and I do the fsck -fy and deleting of the kext for GMA950 and reinstalling as explained in the guide...
Works nice but I need some help with the tap-to-click... otherwise works like a charm... my new BC94321mc is fine, detected even without selecting the driver in the install...
SOLUTION (don't laugh): I reinstalled Voodoo 0.98. In the 'trackpad' item in syspref(not the voodoo pref), the 'clicking' checkbox was not checked LOLL funniest thing... I must have reinstalled 10 times today loll. Sometimes it's not about a kext, it's about using the GUI before finding low-level solutions.
So now my N120 is complete... wireless, trackpad etc.
