So I think it's agood guess that the numbers are way better than on the 1000h (I got around 3:30).
Nik
~4:00 with full cpu load doesnt sound too bad, but i'd be more interested in normal use with wlan and browsing / office work.
I still need to "justify" the reasons for a 1000HE next to a macbook pro, and if mac runs with a decent hour rates, this would be a good one!
Thanks for your effort, very appreciated!
I installed the driver you linked here for the wlan and it doesn't work?? I don't understand what you said of "start and wake on Powersaving a manual switch off/on is needed on original Ralink Card)". there's no physical switch on the computer. How can I do that??
So every time you start your computer or come back from sleep, you'll have to manually turn off and on the wireless in this tool (there is indeed no physical switch involved).
Nik
Thanks,

I'm really no sucker for this and try to reply to all questions, but RTFM... It says it right there:
BIOS_1000HE_ENIK_CPU_ONLY: Fixes only the long boot times (corrects the CPU ALIAS)
There is a problem (for OSX anyway, cause Windows just ignores it) with an entry in the DSDT table in the BIOS which declares aliases for the CPUs. This completely throws OSX off track and may (this is not always the case, that's why you might want to try without the BIOS first) result in extremely long (>40minutes) boot times.
If you don't understand what I'm talking about you're probably better off with XP/Win7 (no pun intended), as keeping OSX running correctly involves a lot of low level tinkering.
Anyway you can red this up here.
And don't hesitate to come back if you have questions.
Cheers,
Nik
thank's for your Rom and your tutorial. it work's great on my 1000He.
I've just a little problem with the ethernet.
it does'nt work. the message is that the cable is not plugged.
I check my ethernet controler and it's a ATL1E rev B0 (like my 1000h) but with this drivers it's KO.
So I'll try to found solution :-)
thank you again for your job
Bruno
PS: sorry for my bad english!!
ethernet work... yesssss!
i repair permission, clear cache end set extension permissions with osX86tools
Also, I have tried the installation for several times but still no success, I think it hangs at the first reboot (which means I can't even see the welcome screen), is there any solution to this?
Issue that I'm facing right now :
1) Waiting for the broadcom wifi card to come from China
2) Sleep is not working at all (and I got error message at boot time about hibernation)
3) I don't know how to use the Swiss French keyboard fix. Keyboard is working well except for special caracters.
4) Major issue : Keyboard and trackpad are not working anymore. That was working well. I don't know exactely why it did break. Using usb keyboard and mouse ... no issue. Interesting info : at boot the keyboard is working but is stoping as soon as I put a finger on the trackpad.
I'm looking forward for new development and will start again from scratch. I will then backup at every successful step to avoid loosing to much time.
Thanks again for all your hard work.
DSDT file is the issue ... don't know why yet but when removing the file at root then keyboard is working again.
Addition : ethernet is working only if I install kext file. (card not found without it)
When the computer want to sleep (either windows xp or OSX) the screen goes black and it's not possible to have it back. Rest of the leds are working normally. I did flash back the standard 802 from asus and sleep is working again on windows. Not tested yet on OSX.
Did try several times. No chance with dsdt file that is causing keyboard and mouse issue.
I did start again with another tutorial using ideneb 1.3 and all is working except wifi (still waiting for my new card shipped from hong kong)
I'm now using carbon copy cloner to be sure that I can go back anytime to a working situation.
I wonder if I can put my cloned disk on bittorrent for other sers to restore it on their eee.
There is a lot to be addressed in your comments.
Point 3) - The Swiss keyboard fix is getting the layout for Swiss French keyboard to OSX (this was not intended by Apple).
Just copy it to /S/L/KeyboardLayouts and select it in SystemPreferences/International
Point 4) - I had the same problem, but I don't think that it comes from the dsdt file. The 10.5.7 messed up some stuff (the funny thing is that it works when I change my memory back to the original 1GB)...
Point 2) - Sleep - It works great for me (in OSX and Win7 - but I can't test it in XP...) with the provided dsdt and BIOS...
As for iDeneb 1.3, it's known to be working with 1000HE, so if you don't mind going through all the installs and updates 10.5.5--> 10.5.6 --> 10.5.7 then this might be the solution.
I had success with iPC 10.5.6 and update with iDeneb.Combo.Upgrade.KIT.1057.dmg.
Oh, and for the Bittorrent thingy: I wouldn't do that, we're already in a (very dark) grey zone with hacking this together... So don't go overboard...
Cheers,
Nik
I've tried it and no dice. My label on the back of my 1000he says "AW-NE771" under wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
At first it worked great! Then I decided to try to make my netbook sleep. That's when it all fell apart.
Now my system hangs at the chameleon boot screen. Won't let me click a key to select an OS. Won't let me do anything. And after the little blue bar runs out, it hangs.
What do I do?
That's cool that you fixed it. May I ask how you got the wireless to work? Are you using the card that came with the 1000he or did you replace it?
Thanks.
Keyboard and mouse weren't working, so I followed what another user did and removed the DSDT file... turned out to be a mistake, now I can't even get into OS X.
Also, I haven't enabled wireless yet. To my knowledge you can't do it without installing a different card.
If you say that it's hanging, you mean the blue screen after boot?
If that is the case you probably have a problem with your Graphics kexts (they are for 10.5.7!).
Make sure that you have the dsdt.aml file in place in the root directory, that you have upgraded to 10.5.7 and that you have installed all the kexts.
ONLY then should you reboot.
For troubleshooting, see the paragraph on restoring kexts in chapter 3.4.
Good luck,
Nik
Wifi isn't working. The software (even the latest one) won't recognize the internal card. I had to use a D-Link DWA-140 USB card for Wifi to work.
@eNik: great guide, keep up with updates !!!
ManDriver
Usually, if you choose the XP partition it should boot.
Try to activate the XP partition with one of the available disk tools (like SystemRecueCd) and boot into it.
If this doesn't work you know have killed XP...
Did anyone find a fix for this? :D
Also, with your modified BIOS, if I boot into Win7 it will BSOD when coming out of sleep every time (well, I assume it's a BSOD the res is messed up so I can't read it at all). If I flash back to the stock 0802 BIOS that works fine. Is there a fix in Win7 or a new BIOS that will correct that?
Great guide - just wish I could get past these two points.
With a mix of your tutorial and a mix from the one at smallcomputing, I got a fully functionnal system.
Everything work perfectely (except stock wifi card replaced by broadcom one)
I've gone through some issue like :
-Swiss Keyboard (corrected with Ukulele)
-Video drivers crazy (garbaged black and white screen) corrected in safe move with the drivers of "Cybergreg" (just reinstall the kext)
-sleep image corrupted (just erase the file located at /private/var/vm/sleepimage and it will be rebuild automatically (2Go file))
What is still strange :
-no way to stop bluetooth (I did shut it down in bios instead)
-two processor showing in GenericCPUPowerManagement but second one is with wrong information
-trackpad is sometime not working correctely after coming back from sleep mode. Going to sleep again is fixing the issue
Which release did you use? i have iDeneb 1.4.
The weird CPU thing probably comes from the cpus=1 command (I don't need that anymore, btw).

Keep the vanilla Intel video, just apply that efi string. I did not install any kexts as vanilla everything worked great for me. I got ethernet support by installing the attansic L1 ethernet during the customize step of iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Universal Final.
It's not detected by the new drivers on ralink's website
:-(
Can you please just confirm that you did re-install with 2Go installed ?
Thanks.
Only glitches :
Must install modified bios for install.
GenericCPUPowerManagement was not working at first.
Battery icon did disappear and I had to reinstall kext voodoobattery to make it appear again.
Except that : PERFECT. Thanks a lot Nik.
(installed with 2Go)

Thanks for your hard work, it helped me.
I have made a French howto based on your great work and tutorial.
I modified little things in my method.
I give you the link of my french method based on yours: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?show...
See you soon,
Laurent.
Je n'ai jamais eu le temps de m'en occuper ;-)
Tu peux me lister les différences avec mon guide s.t.p. Comme ça je peux éventuellement les incorporer dans mon guide en anglais.
Nik
BUT, the only problem i´d found is the imposibility of hibernation in XP when you change the bios for this modificated one. Whith stock bios Leopard don´t boot, and with the new bios I can´t hibernate. At the end I did choose hibernate, but I am still crying...
I'm working on an article to shed some light on the dsdt problems...
To get rid of the error :
GetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35

Thanks for this guide
But you'll need a running OSX somewhere...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA
The gma945gm is part of the GMA950 family so this should just work as advertised...
2. kext helper and install the 4 green kext(i dont at home, a can't what is, but i know it's not the frame buffer, and the gma950)
3 .ideneb update kit
4.kext helper and the 2 kext green on the folder 10.5.7
after this, i have 2 final. or the resolution is not changed, or, it just a blue screen, and freeze.
Only one issue for me : I cannot use it to do wep cracking with backtrack distrib. The chipset drivers for linux are not existing and you must use ndis wraper to have wifi. This is working great if you just need wifi on linux but not for wep craking.
I think that I will sell my broadcom and buy a gigabyte (b&g only) that is working everytime.
Systemic
Thxs
What distrib are you using?
Try to install without the two graphics kexts.
Update to 10.5.7 then install the corresponding graphics kexts from chapter 3.4.8
Nik
(sorry for my english , I´m spanish speaker)
Thxs Nik
Thanks for your amazing post, but I got a little bit trouble after install the kext about resolution thing, that is resolution is still stay on 800x600.
So, I goto preference and click display, the option was listed on the box do not have a 1024x600 one.
Hmm, you got any idea about how to fix this?
Are you in 10.5.7 with the correct kexts?
Otherwise see chapter 3.4.4. in this tutorial.
A little note....
There are TWO revision of WIFI module....
some 1000HE model are sold w/ the NE766 pci-card; some are sold w/ NE771 card....
(see the stiker into battery slot)
So, NE766 IS a "Ralink RT2860" module, and their (OSX) driver are avaiable on the Ralink's web-page!!!!!
An other thing.....somebody have resolved the standby issue under XP after flash the hacked-bios????
Thanks for the info.
Concerning the standby issue, I can't really help you there as I only got Win7 and OSX and it works great.
Otherwise you could try to create one yourself (it's not that complicated, by googleing for it even I was able to do the one you're using).
When I have some time, I might modify the latest BIOS that just came out and let you know if you like to test it...
Nik
I've got a 1000HE, and I see no mention of hibernation/deep sleep in the above article.
Do you have any instructions on how to get hibernation working on the 1000HE?
Thanks.
<div>First it works only with Chameleon 1.1.x (does not work with the new version 2 Release Candidate - check their site for more details).</div>
<div>To make it work I installed the scripts from the Hotkey Enabler and used the hibernate script to enter hibernation.</div>
<div>You might to have to delete the sleepimage first (<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">/var/vm/sleepimage).</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;">
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;">This worked for my 1000HE but I preferred having the new Chameleon instead of Hibernation, so I threw it out.</span></div>

Any ideas?
The only problem I am having is that the windows key on the eee 1000heb (the one I got from best buy) does not work like the apple key, so if I want to quit like windows key + q, it wont work. Do you have any suggestions?
1st, i dont have battery icon
2nd, i cant shutdown, and sleep the machine. When i choose the shutdown, or sleep, or i close the display, the fan is still turn, and the first led(lamp, on) , and the wifi is still working. The restart is work. What can i do?
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">
<div style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font: normal normal normal 13px/19px Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; background-position: initial initial; padding: 0.6em; margin: 0px;">

A new package is available.

I fix the 0802 BIOS under XP VISTA WIN7 in the problem of sleep,
be back windows is very ok
if you want,please mail to me
hantao@vip.139sc.com
i tried installing the GMA905.pkg that was mentioned above..
can't wait for my new wireless card to arrive so i can have wireless on both end and not just the XP end.
Do you have an issue?
Alex
Nobody have the solution for external display in full screen mode bu using "mirror display" ?
I can't install the DSDT file, (copy the file on / but uInstaller don't recognized). Maybe this happens because I didn't install the Chameleon, and I have GRUB to select between OSX, XP, and EEEUbuntu.
Thks for your work eNik!
best regards, udo
Please

Dont work :( restore link please ;)
Thanks mate,
I corrected the problem.
Somehow Wordpress corrupted the entry...?
Nik
Hi,
Is it the 2GB upgrade or the upgrade to 10.5.7 who shot your install?
The 2GB upgrade might break the dsdt file (but I havent had any problems regarding keyboard or trackpad)
It is more likely that the 10.5.7 upgrade did break something.
User a USB mouse and keyboard and experiment with replacing the PS2 kexts.
Have a look here (and it's in German, which should suit you, doesn't it?)
Kel,
Does that mean that it did work, right (for all of us non native english speakers)?
Nik
I had a plugin breaking the treaded comments.
I just got home from a 3 week vacation and corrected it immediately.
However, I won't/can't correct the latest posts made, so this will remain a bloody mess, but from now on, the threading works again.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Nik
is that what you mean by the VGA fix?
To be more specific, the problem where you plug in a external monitor and the system crashes, or both screens get garbled up.
thanks
I just replied this morning to this question on another thread:
http://www.enik.ch/2009/06/eee-1000he-dsdt-file...
So, it works, but only with “desktop extension” and not “mirroring”.
where can I get this fix?
I had a automator app that did this, but apparently it doesnt work
thanks again
