Asus K50IN

[shawn0694]

Hello all. First I would like to say thank you to all of you here it has taken me great amounts of time but this noob finally got snow leopard 10.6.2 up and running dual boot with windows 7.
Went and bought usb N wireless that works great and doesn't bother me I will use until we find a kext for the built in wireless. I do not have sound working yet and also graphics work well but no QE/CI and none of my video programs will run those two things I am working on now. Have tried chameleon enabler, NVinject _64, as well as NVEnabler none have given me full graphics support any help would be appreciated. I am running Asus K50in-RBCBRO5
geforce 102m graphics card. thanks again to all

Sound is now working as well. Thanks again.
Now i have a weird problem. As long as my usb HDD is plugged in I can boot into any partition i want but when i unplug my external it says boot error and boots straight into windows 7 I have tried reinstalling chameleon to no avail. I am sure this is a simple fix but i cannot seem to figure it out any help would be appreciated. THX

what disk did you install chameleon onto?

this first springs to mind

[shawn0694]

first chameleon was installed to usb hdd in order to install then when that was working properly i installed to internal hdd in the same process.

Disk0s1 = boot disk
disk0s2 = windows 7
disk0s3 = Snowing ( my SL drive)

I used the program from beginning posts to add chameleon and Flip360' s Extra folder to my SL drive which worked for the usb HDD it just is not working properly for my internal HDD

I also don't get any Keyboard/Touchpad with the patched DSDTs with Audio, Video and HPET (and SMBus).
So, I reverted to the older one that I have used.

I tried to see the difference between mine and the patched one, but it is too numerous, and I can't locate the patch for the DVD drive.

OK, so, I played with the DSDT files, and merged the difference.

I have manually added all the changes that drade has done on his. That includes mostly everything, except the section in the TMR.

Audio: working without HDAEnabler, but still using the AsusK50IN kext
Video: working without the need of any NVEnabler or GraphicsEnabler on Chameleon
DVD Drive: working very well also, and is responding without delay

Not sure how to test the HPET and the SMBus, so, I just assume they work as well. I would happy to hear info on how to test these.

I have attached it. Beware, that even it works on mine, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will also work on yours.
Be sure to have your older DSDT around in case it doesn't work; and be sure that the USB disk/flash drive used to install Snow is still around, in case you get Kernel Panic and unable to enter single user mode to restore your previous DSDT.

if you have removed your HPETDevice.kext and the system has worked well, so DSDT patch works fine too

When you guys are saying that the graphics are "working" with this dsdt.aml is that the full QE/CI or are they just working well enough?

[shawn0694]

Scratch the post above just found out for myself. As far as i can tell full QE/CI. I swear you guys make me very happy. When I first bought this laptop 4 months ago I thought I made a bad choice but i see now that was worth way more than the $600 I paid for it.
Now if I can just fix the boot problem I will be finally satisfied for now.
Thanks again to all hackintoshers that are helping make this possible.
