Dear friends,

I have successfully installed 1.6.3 (iBoot+MultiBeast) method and I have successfully upgraded to 10.6.6.

Right now working:
- I have managed to have my wifi working (thanks MultiBeast),
- Installed VoodooBattery and is working,
- Sound working with Voodoo 2.7.2, but sometimes it makes a horrible noise when it boots,
- Installed VoodooPS2Controller (26th of January version) only for keyboard ant it has limited functionality.

Big problems for I'm kindly request your expert assistance:
1. - Reboot does not properly every time (sometime it hangs).
2. - Shutdown is not working at all, I have to logout and shutdown and even then it hangs and I have to press the button to completely shut it down,
3. - The keyboard has the tilde issue (it is not there and ±, § are typed in instead), which is a pain in the proverbial as I need it to work (access web pages folder)
4. - the incorporated webcam (Chicony CNF7129 is upside down)
5. - Trackpad is not working, but I have to admit I just now installed it via VoodooPS2Controller.pkg and I have to reboot to see if it works,
6. - I have tried to fix reboot issues with the help of EvOreboot.kext (30 October, 2009), but to no avail.

I have looked for solutions, but after reading and reading I decided to ask for your kind helping hand.

Thank you

I had to reinstall once again for some reasons and right now I don't have any restart problem.
The issue of Shutdown still hangs in there.

The sound is a major PITA. The last VoodooHDA (2.7.2) does the job splendid but the audio device is not recognised in System Profiler - Audio (Built In). I guess that's the main reason any applications requiring mic input doesn't work. Please, a solution!?

The WIFI this time was solved removing the preexisting IO80211Family.kext and put in place the one provided at the K50IN post.

Please, I need your help?!

I have solved to other things

1. Sound ALC662.pkg from www.kexts.com solved the sond issue and most important ALC 662 is appearing in System profiler->Audio (Built in) -> Intel High Definition Audio. Yeeeeeyyyy!

2. WiFI works as it should with the kext again from www.kexts.com -> the original 10.6.6 release IO80211Family.kext. Fantastic! The problem is that I have updated the system to 10.6.6 in the first place but something went wrong with this driver.

Now, if only I would solve the shutdown issue!!!!! Hmmm

For the adusio try the solution from Buhgalter from the Asus K50IN topic - http://osx86.co/f47/asus-k50in-t4409/page10.html
I have the same problem with the shutdown - the computer shuts down the screen, but remains ON like in some kind of stand by mode! I have to turn it off from the button. If you find something about this problem, please let me know.

Kind regards

I'm late:) Happy that you solved your problems!

The sound works good, loud and clear and much, much gained in sound power (better than Windows driver). The problem is that every time I boot the machine the kext overrides the previous settings for the microphone resulting in a BIG micrphony. I have to start my machine with a jack inserted in order not to raise eyebrows in the office and stricken ladies reaction (TUUUURN THE Bloddy THING OOOOOOOFFFF you M F!)

Any solution for this??!

Off course, no shutdown supported yet!

I need to enable Quatz Extreme and OSX86Tools throws this:

Can’t make "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.windowserver, QuartzGLEnabled) does not exist" into type boolean. (-1700)

In system profiler Quartz Extreme and Core Image are not shown :(
