I was wondering if you could instruct me on how to run AutoCloseRealTek.app. I am so happy to have found this as realtek wireless network utility is always open on boot up. I tried to just doubleclick, but does not work. I’m on 10.6.5.

Ruuning U100 on 10.6.1–everything works apart from external display. It detects the display, shows standard wallpaper, but no icons or dock. I can move my mouse pointer to the left of my laptop screen and it goes on the external one then. Anyone had the same problem as well? Or should I just reinstall everything?

i installed everything and (until now) Leo seems to work fine.. i’ve only a problem: audio device isn’t detected (at now, it happened only 2,3 times).
after installing the kext linked is this page, after using this 2 other kext (AppleAC97Audio.kext and AppleAzaliaAudio.kext) I still have a mute u100.
Any suggestion?
thanks in advance..

Any chance someone is willing to post a step by step tutorial, I would like to put OSX 10.6 on my U100 Wind, I have a retail osx dvd 10.6 and bought an airport card to replace the realtek if that is better. I would like to dual boot Win 7 Ultimate w OSX 10.6 , my last attempt worked to a degree but I went back to Win 7. Really looking for some help in a simple tutorial

Have you been able to test the external sound and VGA connectors?

Hi, Thanks so much for your instructions. I got my MSI Wind U120 up and running with your kexts.

Hi – great job, installation went smoothly, unfortunately there`s one BIG problem: Network don`t work, no WLAN, no internal LAN, no Apple USB to Ethernet adapter, nothing. The main problem seems to be that I can`t access Network Settings in System Preferences. Whenever I click on the icon, it says “Loading Network” but nothing happens, the systems runs slower but you can do everything, to stop the process or even try to restart or shut down you have to kill the beast !
Anybody got any idea ??
By the way, it`s a U100X in original configuration with BIOS EN011IMS Ver.10A

Any luck on speedstep after resuming from sleep?

Mini has a smaller memory footprint because unnecessary (for the Atom CPU) code was thrown out.

1 more quick question:

Any reason why you picked VoodooPowerMini over VoodooPower? Can you explain the difference please?

Thanks again!

Hi LIC,

The NullCPUPowerManagement disables (nulls) the Mac OS CPU speedstep kext as it is not compatible with the Atom CPU. That’s why I use the VoodooPowerMini kext to re-add speedstep support.

I have no idea what the bundles do. Sometimes I have to install the GMA950 kexts/bundles twice and reboot in between to get the native resolution back (after installing a Mac OS update). It’s kinda weird but it works.

The AHCI kexts are related to the I/O controller hub and add support for several ICHs and make sure internal drive icons don’t show up as external drive icons.

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Jan, thanks for this. I’m just wondering what the following kexts do, as I have seen other tutorials that exclude them, I’ve also found that when excluding the GMA bundle/plugin files, I don’t face resolution errors anymore

AHCIPortInjector.kext
AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin
AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

Cheers!
