@kokozedman

Firstly - try the files I attaches a few post up, to enable audio after sleep you need to use AppleHDA and IOAudioFamily from my archive and put it into System/Library/Extensions.

About your non-standard keyboard: what mode do you work in? I mean 64 or 32-bit?

I want to report that iMac 10.1 uses Atheros 9285 Wifi. Than with some coding we can get our K50IN wifi to work :)

really? calling all coders...

hi guys,

I used the snow installer provided here with a snow leopard iso restored on my pendrive. then I copied the extra folder from here, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...topic=210118ot made the booter into the ASUS-K50IN/K40IN-BootCD v2.

managed to get to the boot screen and pressed enter to get the installation started. It started reading then this happend.
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...x/IMG_2358.jpgWhat could have caused this ? Im using a Asus K40IN.
thanks...

do you use SleepEnabler.kext?

He said that he had used Extra from that thread, so - no ;)

sorry i did not see that :) what about the nullcpupowermanagement.kext?

K50IN X5DIN - T6500, nForce MCP79, G102M
 

Hi,
i've installed SL 10.6.3 with Boot CD2. All ok but opengl no. Videos play only with quicktime player. DVD nothing, divx nothing, and so on. Before, i used SL 10.6 and Boot CD2. Opengl ok, DVD ok, etc. I updated 10.6.2 very well, but 10.6.3 update fail: freeze all, only mouse ok. Kext for G102M of Boot CD2 not funct with 10.6.3, but kext for it in this thread no opengl. How to solve this problem?

I'm sorry for my bad english.

Regards.

Nino

which one do you use? chameleon graphic enabler or NVEnabler?

He said that he uses kext :P You need to delete the kext and edit com.apple.boot.plist which you can find in Library/Preferences/SystemPreferences

by adding these lines:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1366x768x32@60</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>

Hi,
thank for answers.

I'm newbie of osx and my english is very very bad.
Thanks for help me.

Best regards.

Nino

I would suggest using my files from this post:

http://osx86.net/f47/asus-k50in-t4409/post48599.html

Delete all custom kexts and replace it with my files, then repair permissions and everything should work perfectly. (from what I see you've got about 4 kexts for graphic card + chameleon's graphic enabler o.O)

Ok... here comes MAC OS X 10.6.4... anyone willing to try? xP

Hi man_of_the_oak,
i've used your kexts and delete all old kexts but opengl and/or QE-CI don't funct. If i delete NVEnabler 64 and NVinject don't boot anymore (stop on blu screen), only safe boot (-x) funct. I reinstall only NVInject and boot but without opengl and/or QE-CI. In the System Profiler i have:

I've OpenGL and QE-CI enabled with Graphics Enabler and man_of_the_oak Extra folders.
My K50in is still alive after 10.6.4 update :D

This Notebook it's perfect for Hackintosh.

Hello,
I've update at 10.6.4.. Don't funct anymore webcam (don't recognized). Before yes, but no image because no OpenGL and/or QE-CI. Audio ok.

@ ZeroTK: What is your K50IN? And what kexts you use?
Ho visto che scrivi da Palermo (anch'io sono siciliano - prov. di Messina). Si ho
visto che questo notebook puo' essere un clone perfetto dei mac. Puoi
aiutarmi? Penso di essere vicino alla soluzione, ma sono nuovo del mondo mac.
Grazie.


Thanks all.

Nino

IT: Semplice, basta che scarichi i file di man_of_the_oak, e sposti il contenuto nelle relative cartelle. Poi avvii Kext Utility e riavvii il sistema. Se non ti é chiaro qualcosa, approfondiamo, ma devi darci più in informazioni (in inglese, così se non so aiutarti ci pensano altri. ;) )

EN: Easy, you must only download the man_of_the_oak files and move the contents in respective folders. Then start Kext Utility and restart the system. If it's not clear, we elaborate on this, but we need more info (in english, so if i can't help you, others do it ;) )

(My english it's very bad) :p

more feedback on 10.6.4 update! :)

Hi,
now webcam of K50IN is ok. I've changed kext again of man_of_the_oak, but DVD player is down (error -70017). VLC, DIVX Player and so on play audio only. Before (SL 10.6.2) ok all. Now video only with Quicktime Player. If i resolve this problem, asus k50in is perfect hackintosh!

Thanks always for help me.

Best regards.

Nino

@ZeroTK

I'm glad it worked ^^ I'm going to install the update when I am back from school, hopefully everything will go smothly.

Did you test your DVD after the update + how about webcam problem (or maybe it's not upside-down anymore? :P ) that ninoger mentioned before? Well... we are using DSTD to get it working properly so it shouldn't be a problem... anyway, I want to be sure :P

@ninoger

I would recommend installing the system again using iBoot bootloader (the only one that worked with my PC):

http://www.tonymacx86.com/Public/iBoot.zip

When you boot into system (still using iBoot CD) - install this update (don't reboot yet) http://support.apple.com/downloads/D...ombo10.6.2.dmg

then http://support.apple.com/downloads/D...XUpd10.6.3.dmg (the same - do not reboot!!)

Then the same with 10.6.4

Later - use http://www.mediafire.com/?kw0yxtn2rgn
to install bootloader.

Ok, finally you can use my files from the post I've mentioned above (the best would be repairing permissions with Kext Utility and then on the whole parition using Disk Utilies - just to be sure). Now everything should work perfectly. If you have any problems - tell me.

Ok, I've updated a second ago. Everything works (well... I had to put back my copy of stuff from System/Library/Extensions and use Kext Utility to get sound working), no problems with webcam (video is still upside-down but... I can survive :P), the only issue I found is battery. Status is totally messed up. If I unplug the charger it says e.g. 1h 50 min but after a sec - 2h 10 min, then... 1h 30 min >.<" Anyone willing to make a new version of AppleACPIBatteryManager? ;-)

PS Can you tell me if 61 Celsius is ok temperature for CPU? iStat says 61 for CPU A and CPU B >.<"" (I am using only firefox at the moment...)

:-/ Yah, my CPU temps are ever around 63° min. Max: 79 when i play flash videos (Google Chrome).
We need a new AppleACPIBatteryManager!
But...iStat it's good for temperature monitoring? :/
I use this by 1 month... it's strange. More info, anyone?

Thanks.

I am going to try using VoodooBattery in a sec, will post any info soon!

iStat? Yup, it's if everything is working correctly ;-)

Well... no luck, still crazy battery status... >.<"

updated to 10.6.4 with no glitches except for AppleHDA which must be replaced in S/L/E to get sound working :)

Cheers

Thanks for testing...
:( We need a new kext.
Anyone?^_^

Hmm... flip360, what are your temperatures of CPU? I am afraid that maybe SpeedStep doesn't work and this is why my problem with battery status occurs.

what do you use to check the temperature?

iStat widget ;)

i have 57 degrees with coolbook

The same here... uff. How about battery? Is it accurate? What kext do you use to enable it?

battery is pretty accurate with power and standalone, i use the kext from the extra folder attached on the first page the thread

Coolbook and the kext of flip360 give 61-63°.

Question: Who's strange ? iStats or Coolbook?

hi guys... apple updates OSX to 10.6.4. Is it safe to update?

@neonego

Read a few posts before ;)

@ZeroTK

I believe it's ok. From what I know we need to set correct Tjmax in fakesmc. I'm going to check temperatures under Windows XP Live CD.

the correct Tjmax value for my T6400 is 100

Hi,
finally i solved my problems!!!
I've reinstalled SL 10.6.0 with Asus K50IN Boot CD2 on USB disk with GUID format. Then, i've updated with 10.6.2 Combo Update; installed Chameleon of boot disk for Asus K50IN. And then, installed 10.6.4 Combo update, don't reboot, delete Extra folder and substitute with Extra folder of man_of_the_oak. Reinstalled Chameleon. Repaired permissions with Kext Utility and Utility Disk. Reboot and OK ALL: multimedia, videos, audio, dvd! Very very well!!!.
Thank's all for help me. Ask me for any questions!!!


My english is very bad. Sorry!

Ciao.

Nino

After reading feedback on 10.6.4 update, I'm now downloading it. Hope it will not mess up my system :D coz I'm in the office right now..

Cheers!

10.6.4 update...all good!

replace AppleHDA on S/L/E and those inside extra folder, run kext utility and you're done! :)

it fixes problem on yahoo messenger webcam!

great!

It is possible to upgrade graphic card from NVIDIA GEFORCE 512 Mb to 1Gb?.How about uprading external hard disk from 320gb to 500gb?No effect to the Snow Leopard because new hardwares installed?
If you guys have some experiences,please guide me to choose correct hardwares.
Thanks

the hdd yes its no problem to upgrade it, but you have to re-install osx, but i dont think replacing or upgrading the graphic card is possible,

cheers

flip360 : thanks..but the webcam is still inverted.Do you have the solution to fix it?

iGlasses ;)

Well... maybe someone would like to see this laptop in action, so I decided to record a small hmm preview? :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaA6yGo7U60

First for all, the video you had posted => super very cool.
How come your airport got detected? and how do you change the name at the nvidia card to Geforce G102M? Mine is detected as unknown nVidia card.

Cool... Can you explain how to identify AirPort? :D

I use a Dell 1500 wifi, sorry for making you think that Intel one is working ^^"

About graphic card - I've made a custom DSDT based on modifications of Рус. It's not that hard, if you want - I can tell you how to get a DSDT of your laptop, then you send it to me and I make all needed modifications :)

PS I attach mine DSDT, maybe someone would like to try it.

Ohhh :'(
I've no problem with graphic card ;)
WiFi kext it's very necessary <.<

here i attach my dsdt.

Hmmm... everything seems to be ok, graphic card should be normally recognised.
