Field Note #1 @Abysmal 2010-01-26

I have one..

I have this laptop..

I am currently running 10.6.2 @ 1366x768 but no sound, which I am working on to get working..l

What do you need to know?

Field Note #2 @Abysmal 2010-01-27

Do it the vanilla way.. and useEmpire EFI (pra sys.co.cc)and you'll be fine..

Its a good clean start.. you'll need to update to chameleon rc4 to get the video to work natively..

Field Note #3 @Abysmal 2010-02-05

That I don't know.. I prefer the retail method.. its more manual, but its cleaner, and easier to maintain.. and you learn a hell of a lot in the process..

I got my sound in / out and speakers working as well..

Field Note #4 @Buhgalter 2010-02-06

Try ASUS-K50IN-BootCD.iso v1.1 (deposit files.com/files/yf2hm5w73) + retail DVD 10.6 with your configuration.

Field Note #5 @Abysmal 2010-03-02

Buhgalter.. Have you gotten sleep/wake to work and all of your sound functionality?
