Hi.

Thanks for tutorial.

I have a problem with the drivers, can you help me?

i' ve installed the OS into a USB HD (is a bit slow but its only for try it before install in my 6395g HDD)

I've noty installed your kext because the OS recognize automaticaly my Nvidia card and the resolution, all is fine, but i have a problem with the mousepad.

I've selected Apple PS/2 driver, like you, but my mousepad doesn't work. Im reading how to fix it in internet but i didnt find it. Now i have runed the iaptkos dvd and unselect all and install woodoo PS/2 drivers, but IT DIDN'T WORK!!

What can i do?? An external usb mouse works fine =S


Edit: That is a BIG problem, the touchpad didn't work in windows!! =S Why?? If i have installed the OS X in an external USB HDD

PLEASE!!! HELP!!!


EDIT 2: I've fixed the problem, i dont know how, but now my problem is the keyboard =S He works, but when y press something the keyboard automatically press the End key, that key is always pressed. I want to uninstall the Woodoo PS/2 driver, how can i uninstall it?

Hi! I'm just curious as to how you got your Mbox 2 working under the OSX. Did you need to install any drivers?

My issue is my Mbox appears dead (no lights) but I can see that OSX can see it in the System profiler (shows me what version firmware is installed which is pretty neat). However, when I installed Pro Tools 8 (just bought the upgrade), it can't see the Mbox.

I should mention I'm running an Acer Aspire 5920G dual core Intel(R) Core(TM) T5450 which is on the Not Supported list for Windows laptops — Pro Tools LE 8.0 USB Systems.

I was hoping that this Mac OS would trick my Mbox into thinking it could work now. I was thinking maybe I should upgrade my BIOS? Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers!

Wow! Really ? Usb incompatible? what a bummer! If it were FW, ok I would understand, but why USB?

With Protools you automatically install Core Audio, so it should wake up the box, even without launching the program.

Do you have expresscard? You could always make a new USB bus, that might do the trick, but seems a bit far fetched.

Try booting with the box connected

Well,

Just went over to didgesign website to check the compatibility list.

It says "All Acer dual core laptops are not compatible"

Mine work flawlessly! Even the other day I had a 30+ track project I had to do rework on, with PT8, not even a hick-up !

So maybe they were just lazy and said "f*ck Acer, they're crap, have ten million models, so lets just blacklist the whole line to be on the safe side"

That is what it seems to me, ´cos I've got one and it works!

And I'll say it again, I HATE acer in general, but the Gemstone series (or G series at the end of the number) are absolutely fabulous for high end usage. eSata, USB, expresscard (dual fw800 working perfect!), gfx performace... it is absolutely AMAZING, so if this ever get out, Digidesign, you guys are a bunch of lazy wankers that exploit the audio comjunity, and pretty soon you will perish in the deep pits of hell, along with all Windows developers.

I have spoken.

Thanks sxcevo! But why not try my Snow Leo tutorial? Snow is just .. WOW !!

You need to know what ethernet you have to find the right kext. Also, put up your PC specs for reference please

Download latest OSx Tools from here http://pcwizcomputer.com/index.php?I...tent&task=view

Then click "View PCI Device / Vendor ID"

It may ask you to install lspci, click ok.

It should read out your ethernet vendor and ID, post it here!

Then we can try to find a proper kext for it, if not, we can try with strings. Have you used string injection in your install?

cheers!

Heya!

My First post here, so Hello to All, I'm mainly a windows user, i hate mac! but took a step back and decided to try it on a Computer rather then Apple Hardware,

I myself have a 6935G But having some slight issues. my laptop spec as follows:

Intel C2D P7350 2.0Ghz
4GB DDR3 1066Mhz
320GB HDD
nVidia 9600GT 512mb DDR3 (Overclocked)

I installed it without a hitch installed the provided kexts, ethernet works, sound works (to a degree) not sure about the SD since i dont really use it all that much, but my problem is getting the multimedia touch pad to work, the only function that works is the "Mute" is there any way i can get the volume touch slider to work aswell? as that would be uber cool.

I read that your making a guide to get the audio to work correctly, so i'l wait until then

Would love to install SL but dont have the resources to do so! although i did get the SL DVD,

-Callum!

P.S I hope you all had a Good Christmas, and i wish you all a Happy New Year!
