eNik: OSX Leopard 10.5.7 on the eee 1000HE (Updated)

  • Oliver · 7 months ago
    How long does the battery last under OSX? I'm somewhat interested in buying the 1000HE as a smaller brother to the macbook pro for college, and am interested to know how long the battery actually lasts under OSX.. do you have any information about that?
  • admin · 7 months ago
    I just finished installing, so I don't have conclusive numbers, but it's showing 4:12 with Timemachine backup running on a USB powered HD and heavy installing (CPU=99%)  from another USB HD, with backlight to max, WIFI and Bluetooth on.

    So I think it's agood guess that the numbers are way better than on the 1000h (I got around 3:30).

    Nik
  • Oliver · 7 months ago
    Okay, thanks! When you gather more personal experience on the battery times, could you comment again?
    ~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!

    Good Evening,
    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??
  • admin · 7 months ago
    I had the Ralink card only for a few hours before swapping it out, but if I remember corerctly there is a tool installed with the driver (something like Ralink Wireless Utility ?).
    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
  • Mayhem · 7 months ago
    You gave the link to very very old driver. Now you do not need to switch Radio on and off. Take a look at the fresh driver here: http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/M...

    As a matter of interest, what does the custom bios do?  Is there a specific problem it works around or is it a general stability fix?


    Thanks,


    Ivan
  • admin · 7 months ago
    Ivan,

    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

    Hi 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!!
  • rocky0 · 7 months ago

  • J Tam · 7 months ago
    Just want to know whether it is a big difference of using iDeneb other than iPC, as I just get an copy of the iDeneb v1.4

    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?
  • Systemic · 7 months ago
    Great tutorial.

    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.
  • Systemic · 7 months ago
    Self answer for keyboard issue :

    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)
  • Systemic · 7 months ago
    Bad news ... I did flash with your bios that include the apple logo and from this : no more sleep possible.
    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.
  • systemic · 7 months ago
    Ok ...
    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.
  • admin · 7 months ago
    Systemic,
    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
  • calimansi · 7 months ago
    Will the ralink drivers work on the azurewave card?  If so, how exactly is it supposed to be installed?

    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!
  • Adam Springs · 7 months ago
    Everything seemed to be working just fine... until I installed the RC for Chameleon 2.0

    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?
  • Adam Springs · 7 months ago
    I figured out what happened to cause it to hang... To fix it, I disabled quick-boot.. (to accomplish this, I had to pop out the hard-drive and start the system up without it in order to reach the BIOS setup)
  • calimansi · 7 months ago
    Hey Adam,

    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.
  • Adam Springs · 7 months ago
    New problem now...

    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.
  • Adam Springs · 7 months ago
    Started from scratch ALL over again... And once more, the computer is hanging after the Apple boot screen.  I don't know what's going on. I got as far as rebooting after the ktexts. After I installed the ktexts it simply stopped functioning.
  • admin · 7 months ago
    Adam,

    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
  • Cedric · 7 months ago
    Battery life is about 5 hours for me, 1h30 less than Windows or Linux.
    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.

    How come, that i can't boot to Win XP if I choose it in Darwin bootloader. It is an available option but nothing happens?!?
  • admin · 7 months ago
    You must have shot something...
    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...
  • ManDriver · 7 months ago
    Hm... strange, 'cause I went by the book. Should I install Chameleon bootloader instead; next time?
  • Fjandin · 7 months ago
    Keybaord and mouse problem is the same with my 1000HE. After the post install process the mouse and keyboard are'nt working. I did also try the removal of the DSDT file... which was not such a great idea.



    Did anyone find a fix for this? :D
  • Fjandin · 7 months ago
    Srry. Forgot to include that i am using iDeneb 1.4.
  • Rich Jefferson · 7 months ago
    I'm having the same problem where the trackpad and keyboard do not work after the step where you install the dsdt file and ktexts. If I take away the dsdt file and reboot they work but I can't install the ktexts without it because it hangs. Any idea what the solution is? Skip the 10.5.7 update for now?

    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.
  • Fjandin · 7 months ago
    I tried doing the post-install process leaving out the 10.5.7 update. Mouse and keyboard is working now, but the screen is totaly messed up... just black with wierd artifacts. I know mouse and keyboard is working cause the mess is moving:P Tried rebooting with "-x" option and then it booted up just fine with graphics and all looking good...
  • systemic · 7 months ago
    Latest news :

    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
  • Fjandin · 7 months ago
    <cite>systemic: Could you please post links to the pages/files used. Would be greatly appriciated:D</cite>

    Which release did you use? i have iDeneb 1.4.
  • admin · 7 months ago
    The drivers going crazy is a sign that you installed the included 10.5.7 drivers on a 15.5.x system with x<7.
    The weird CPU thing probably comes from the cpus=1 command (I don't need that anymore, btw).
  • Wes · 7 months ago
    I am also having the trackpad and keyboard problem. After the DSDT step, upon restart, neither work. Removing dsdt.aml to try to remedy the problem just results in the permanent post-boot blue screen, only fixed by removing the GMA950 drivers.  Admin, did you encounter any of these problems?
  • desertman · 7 months ago
    The 1000HE does not have any Ralink WLAN card installed! Therefore no Ralink driver will ever work on a 1000HE. The stock WLAN card on the 1000HE is from Atheros and called "AzureWave Wireless Network Adapter" - and there is no OS X driver for this card as of today. If you want to have WLAN on your 1000HE with OS X you need to exchange the card or buy any OS X compatible USB WLAN adapter. I bought an adapter from Trendnet and it works (pretty slow, however).
  • desertman · 7 months ago
    ... what I probably should have bought instead of the Trendnet is the Planex "GW-USMICRON":

  • ManDriver · 7 months ago
    Not agree with you! Some models have Ralink (like mine) and some of them AzureWave . Check on EeeUser.com. But it is interesting that official Ralink  drivers for OSX somehow doesn't work.
  • Wes · 7 months ago
    For me, the install went perfectly if I just installed 10.5.6, installed dsdt.aml and upgraded chameleon (as per this site's directions), then upgraded straight to 10.5.7 without kexts. In 10.5.7, I just applied an efi-string for IntelGMA950 and it worked. http://forums.msiwind.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=11661


    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.

    Installation with 1.1 perfect.

    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.

    Good job, it runs for me.
    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...

    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.
  • Justin · 7 months ago
    I'd love to do this, but I want to keep Win7 as a dual boot and unfortunately I have the Atheros card in my 1000HE.  If I purchase the BroadCom BCM 94321MC wireless card will it work with Win7 (of course, with the proper driver)?
  • systemic · 7 months ago
    That's what I've done and the card is working perfectely with Win7 and osx.


    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.

    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????

    June,
    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...

    Hi, I saw you got hibernation for the 1000H working.
    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?

    Hibernation on the 1000H(E) series is a thing...

    <div>To make it work I installed the scripts from the Hotkey Enabler and used the hibernate script to enter hibernation.</div>

    I am having the exact same thing happen.  I have checked and double-checked the kext loadout at initial install (reloaded a couple of times) but I still get this exact same thing happening.  Any headway on a solution to this?

    This guide was amazing!  OSX 10.5.7 running almost perfectly on my 1000HE
  • Alex · 6 months ago
    Hi, thanks for your guide! I would like to plug an external monitor in mirror mode for use 1280x1024 resolution. The external monitor is recognized with this resolution but when i activate the mirror mode the 2 screens are garbled but all is ok in extended desktop.
    Do you have an issue?
    Alex
  • atkusz · 6 months ago
    The mirrored mode works it's just in the same resolution the internal display. If you want use huigher resolution, or different, use extended mode, not mirrored.

    i'm curious why everyone has so much trouble with the wifi... my 1000he's bt253 worked on the first boot with ideneb 1.4. it even hopped on the first available network without asking me...
  • Alex · 6 months ago
    Why change wifi card???? Just use official drivers for RT2860! http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/M...
    Nobody have the solution for external display in full screen mode bu using "mirror display" ?
  • ulysess · 6 months ago
    Well, I past the last weekend installing OSX with this tutorial, and everything works OK. I lucky because my 1000HE came with the Ralink 2860, and I selected it in the iDeneb 1.4 installation.
    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!

    hi nik, the day before yesterday I bought an eeepc 1005 HA and tried to find a kind of how2 to change it into a nice little macbook. I'm still on the run - and would like to ask u for it. may i do the same as you did on your 1000? and - if You still have any - a german languaged how2 would not be my dream ;-), but of course it would be more simple to work with.
    best regards, udo

    I took the 2gb out and installed the DSDT file and then shut down machine. Install 2gb. THEN WA LAW!~
  • admin · 5 months ago

    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)?

    Guys,
    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

    hey, I was just wondering, did you get the VGA out to work?
    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

    Hi,
    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”.
  • rootme · 5 months ago
    fast reply! thanks! :D
    where can I get this fix?

    I had a automator app that did this, but apparently it doesnt work

    thanks again
