This video tutorial gives you the basics for creating a custom DSDT file that matches your configuration (eee PC model, amount of RAM and BIOS version).

The version of DSDT SE that goes with the tutorial can be downloaded here.

This is for advanced users only, so you’ve been warned if you shoot your install…

On your arrival you’ll find it overheated in your bag, without juice left for this terribly important presentation (and no power outlet in sight) and in the worst case with harddisk heads that have gotten to know the surface of the disks themselves – all data lost (believe me if I tell you that I had this happen twice to me)…

This video shows in less than one minute how to avoid your MacBook waking up when the lid is opened.

This is  the first video tutorial in our series “Hacks 4 Noobs” which will visually walk you through hacks and small modifications that improve the usability of your tech gear.

Please refer to the first part for comments, installation notes and news on compatibility.

Comments are closed and moved to part 1.

This video is the second and last part of the two part video tutorials on how to install OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on the Asus EEE PC 1000HE.
This should work similarly for the other models of the eee family.

WARNING: Even though I don’t experience any problems, there are some reports that the graphics performance under SnowLeopard may be quite slow for some installs (around 30% of Leopard).

You can follow this topic here.

UPDATE: I just updated the Video for Part 2, because there was an small error in it (thanks prmpfbubub). But lost the comment when deleting and re-uploading the vid.

The install package can be downloaded here.

This should work similarly for the other models of the eee family.

Watch part 2

The new install package can be downloaded here.

Update: New installation package

Fixed:

• Sleep should work now
• Brightness fix
• Bluetoth fix
• Ethernet fix

Existing users just replace /Extra folder with the new one.

USB boot problems

AFAIK, if you only get a blinking cursor (no boot0 or boot1 failed) then the boot0 file has not been correctly written.

Otherwise it is probably the boot1h file.

• Make sure that you are in the right directory.
  Type “ls -l” and make sure that you have a bunch bootXX files in the list
• Make sure that you got the right disk ID (you’ll need the one that has the capacity of your USB drive)

(and no, a 4GB stick will NOT work, but it was the only one lying around to illustrate the problem)

• Make sure you type : sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskXXX AND replace the XXX with the ID of your USB stick
  Make sure that you type your password at this moment
  There is no message after you do that (even if it fails)
• Make sure you type: sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXXXs2 AND replace the XXX with the ID of your USB stick
  There you should get a message on several lines saying something about “XXX bytes transferred….”
• Make sure you have a file named boot in your root
• Check with “ls -l /” –> you must have a file named “boot” in this list

That should do it.

Post Installation problems

Wrong screen resolution, no sleep, … don’t panic:

• Open a terminal
• Type:

cd /Extra
mv Extensions.mkext Extensions_COPY.mkext
sudo ./eee-mkext-create.sh

• then type your password.
• Check that a new Extensions.mkext file has been created.
• Reboot

Wifi

There are two types of Wifi cards that are used to build the 1000HE:

• The NE766 : You’ll have to get the OSX drivers from the Ralink homepage
• The NE771 : It seems that this card is working out of the box (tested by Paolo)

I swapped my Wifi card just in the beginning for a compatible Airport device (Broadcom BCM 94321MC 802.11n), so unfortunately I cannot test this.

Graphics

Works

At the moment the brightness adjustment is not working.

I’m looking into this…

WARNING: Even though I don’t experience any problems, there are some reports that the graphics performance under SnowLeopard may be quite slow for some installs (around 30% of Leopard).

You can follow this topic here.

Ethernet

Working

At the moment the ethernet port is not working.

I’m looking into this…

Bluetooth

Working

Not tested

Update: You can find new video tutorials on how to install SnowLeopard here.

This is a copy of the original article on eNik.ch

I finally got OSX 10.5.7 to install on my new eee 1000HE.

This guide is quite basic, again you’ll have to enable your brain at a certain moment

Thanks go to Greg, slither2007, pentiumpc, Thireus,strongesthylian, comatron and all the other fine people at ipis-osx.

Update: I just had to reinstall the OS after I lost keyboard and mouse after changing to 2GB of RAM – strange…
I followed my own steps and I couldn’t get it installed properly, so I had to do some modifications:

• No wifi driver : there is no WIFI driver for the integrated Atheros card (didn’t check this as I swapped it before installing) – thanks desertman
• Update to 10.5.7 should be done in the end
• Update to 10.5.7 should be done with the iDeneb.Combo.Upgrade.KIT.1057
• The cpus=1 install option is not needed anymore (at least for me)
• Provided the latest dsdt.aml file that works on my 1000HE (I redid the whole patching thing)
• New chapter for goodies

Update: I uploaded a new version of the package that should fix the problems with dsdt files for 1GB or 2GB PCs. See this post.

The new bundle is MY_BUNDLE_1000HE_V0.1.2.zip

To begin with…

Get my install pack here (I compiled a configuration that worked for me. I take no credit at all for this. Guys like paul over here did the lions share of the work).

Unzip the downloaded file (usually it unzips to the same folder)

For each chapter, the files needed are in a nicely labeled folder that contains everything you need (including the download links for the components that I can’t provide freely).

1) BIOS Update to fix ACPI Problems

It seems that it is not absolutely necessary to flash a custom BIOS, but for me it was the only way to get it working.

Let me be very clear:

I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICKED 1000HE.

FLASHING THE BIOS IS ALWAYS A RISK (even if it’s a very small one)!!!

I did flash from 0605 to my modified 0802 and back at lease 20 times and everything went well.
The modified BIOS has been made by me based on the original 0802.

There are two flavors:

• BIOS_1000HE_ENIK_CPU_ONLY: Fixes only the long boot times (corrects the CPU ALIAS)
• BIOS_1000HE_ENIK_BOOTLOGO_AND_CPU: Fixes only the long boot times and changes the boot screen to the grey apple logo

To flash the BIOS:

• Make sure the the ROM file is named to whatever the name of your comp model is, in my case 1000HE.ROM
• Put it alone on a USB drive and insert it into your computer. Reboot, hit F2
• Under the Boot tab of BIOS settings, change priority boot device to USB drive
• Go to exit, select exit + save changes
• This will cause the comp to reboot again, so as soon as you see it start up, HOLD DOWN alt + F2
• This will go into EZ-FLASH and update your BIOS
• Reboot, hit F2, double check that BIOS is working

2) Partition your Harddisk

I kept a dualboot configuration with XP/Win7 and OSX on my 1000HE. In order to accomplish this you’ll have to do some light changes in your partition scheme. I’ll recommend you do a complete backup of your harddisk before continuing!!! You can use programs like Acronis TrueImage to do so.

• Right click on “My Computer” on your desktop and select “Manage”
• Then click on “Disk Management”

• Delete the second partition by right clicking on the second partition of Disk0 and selecting “Delete Partition”.

• Create a new unformatted primary partition

3) Installation

3.1) Preparation – Downloads

• Download the iPC distribution from the usual sources (this is somewhat illegal even if you own a Leopard license, as I do) :
  • iPC_OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 or iPC-X DL 10.5.6
• Burn it to a DVD
• Download the 10.5.7 Combo Update from Apple
• Download the iDeneb.Combo.Upgrade.KIT.1057.dmg from here or here

3.2) BIOS Settings

There was no need whatsoever to change the BIOS settings

If you encounter problems try disabling “QuickBoot”

3.3) Installing OSX

• Put the OSX DVD in your external DVD drive and boot from it (Hit ESC at the gray boot screen and select your DVD drive in the blue/yellow list)
• Hit F8 when the boot text appears and enter (just to be sure – I don’t needed it on my system after reinstalling):cpus=1
• The boot may take a while (5-10 minutes depending on your DVD drive)

• Just click through until you come to this screen

• Run “Disk Utility”

• Select the second partition that you have created in step 1 and format it by selecting “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”, naming it (OSX in my case) and hit “Erase”

–

• To be sure you can select the drive and select “Partition”. Press Options and you should see that the drive is partitioned as MBR

• If you go back now you should see something like this.
• Select the drive and click “continue”

• On the “Install Summary” Screen click “Customize”

• Now you’ll have to enable your brain as you’ll have to select the install options. Those options are not always present and/or named in the same way. You’ll have to install:
  • The option for ICHx Fixed
  • The option for FireWire Remove
  • CPUS=1 or One Core Fix
  • Video/Intel and check GMA950
  • PS/2 Keyboard Fix or PS2Fix Keyboard or similar
  • Don’t select any optional Kernel !!!!
• If you have the option to install some tools I’d recommend (if present):
  • Kext Helper
  • OSx86 Tools
  • Pacifist
  • Universal OSX86 Installer
• Hit “Done” and “Install”
• Go have a coffee or two, install takes around 25 – 40 minutes.

3.4) Post-Install

After first boot you’ll have to answer some questions from Apple.

Don’t forget to define a password, we’ll need it later!

There is no guarantee that all the kexts in this bundle do work with your eee PC. There are simply too many different hardware revisions out there (even on the 1000HE it seems that there are at least 3 different brands of the camera used – some work, some don’t).

So if you install the kexts:

• Do so by following the guide (unless you know what you’re doing) as it makes it easier to spot an offending kext.
• Install them using kextHelper (it sets the corrects rights and stuff and makes a backup of your replaced kexts).

If ever a kext has your system crashing/not booting/unstable do the following:

• Boot into “single user mode” by specifying -s at the boot prompt
• Then type: /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / (don’t forget the / at the end!!)
• Then erase the offending kext(s) with the backup(s) (example of AppleIntelGMA950 kext) cp -R /Backup Extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext/ /System/Library/Extensions/ rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
• Reboot with the -f option

3.4.1) Fixing “About this Mac”

• Install the “About this Mac” package. Just click through it

3.4.2) DSDT file

The DSDT file can be used with the latest Chameleon bootloader.

• Launch the Univeral OSX86 Installer Application (ignore the errors, I only included the needed stuff) and install the bootloader to your OSX partition (beware to not choose any other partition!!!)

• Copy the corresponding dsdt.aml file to your root directory.

Attention there are two flavours: one for 1GB (original) 1000HEs and one for updated 2GB ones!!!

Attention the provided dsdt file only works with the 1000HE!!!

For more information see this thread.

The DSDT file will handle and correct the following stuff :

• Brightness Control (wake fix, no need for AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext)
• Power Button Fix
• Lid close goes to sleep (no need for Clamshell.kext)

And on a more technical level:

• VGA fix (no need for Natit.kext)
• CPU Alias
• HPET fixed
• RTC fixed

Note: This things are not fixed by the modified BIOS that you have flashed – so you must use the DSDT file in order to enable all those fixes

3.4.3) Installing kexts

• Run “Kext Helper”

• Drag all kexts in the “3.4.3_InstallingKexts_10.5.6″ folder onto the “Kext Helper” application .

• Type your password, click “Easy Install” and follow the dialogs
• Reboot

Update: For those having problems with missing or double battery icons, read this

This is a known problem on some configurations.

For me on my 1000HE it worked like a charm but you might have to delete the existing ACPIBattery.kext because I got two battery indicators.

3.4.4) Install WLAN Driver

if you stayed with the original Ralink card, I didn’t but had to completely open up the 1000HE in order to change the WIFI card (see here for some help)

• Download here
• Use specific application to control WLAN
• I for my part installed a Apple Airport mini PCI WLAN card – BroadCom BCM 94321MC 802.11n (search for BCM94321MC on eBay – around 20$-30$) which works out of the box and is recognized as Airport card.

I didn’t test this but apparently there is no driver for the integrated Atheros card.

You’ll have to change it to a compatible one or buy a USB WIFI adapter.

3.4.5) Speedstep

The speedstep support has already been installed with the above kexts.

You can launch the GenericCPUPowerManagement Application from the “3.4.7_Speedstep” folder to check if the throttling is working.

3.4.6) HotKeys

This step is optional:

• Install Spark
• Launch Spark
• Import the Spark configuration (File/Revert to Spark Library Backup)

You’ll get (this is just a list of examples to get you started):

• Ctrl-F11/12 – Volume up/down
• Ctrl-F10 – Mute
• Ctrl-F2 – Sleep
• AppleKey/Option T – Terminal
• AppleKey/Option F – Firefox
• AppleKey/Option W – TextEdit
• Ctrl/Alt7Delete – Opens/Closes Activity Monitor

3.4.7) Update to 10.5.7

• Mount (double click) the iDeneb.Combo.Upgrade.KIT.1057.dmg
• Use iDeneb.MacOSx86UpdCombo10.5.7.pkg to update your system
  
• I didn’t use iDeneb.Tool.rev1.mpkg
• Reboot
  

3.4.8) Install the kexts for 10.5.7

• After reboot you’re back to 800×600 resoultion
• Run “Kext Helper”
• Drag all kexts in the “3.4.7_InstallingKexts_10.5.7″ folder onto the “Kext Helper” application .
• Type your password, click “Easy Install” and follow the dialogs
• Reboot

3.4.9) Misc Fixes

This directory contains fixes for potential problems (always, and I mean ALWAYS make backups of your kexts before trying those fixes):

External USB to Ethernet : Provides the kexts for an external USB to Ethernet adapter

Time Machine Fix : Provides a known fix if your TimeMachine is not working as advertised

Bluetooth Fix : Fix for erratic Bluetooth (may or may not work with 10.5.6 – try it out)

Keyboard : Provides a fix for the Swiss French keyboard layout with a hacked kext. You can use the Ukulele app to create your own keyboard layouts.

3.4.10)Goodies

Under StartupSound you’ll find a preference pane and two original eNik sounds that let you define startup and shutdown sounds… Thanks to woolmonkey for the tip.

That’s it…

What works:

- System running with EFI, vanilla and Quartz extreme support

- Stock Kernel : working with EFI

- GMA950 : working with QE & GL

- Sleep Mode : working

- Wlan : working (if you change the WIFI card)

- Camera: : working

- Multitouch : 2 finger scrolling, 3 finger control, 2 finger doubletab

- SD Slot

- External USB to Ethernet adapter for the MacBook Air

- Time Machine

- Sound input/output

- Brightness control

- Speedstep

- Ethernet

Update: You can find new video tutorials on how to install SnowLeopard here.

This is a copy of the original article on eNik.ch

I finally got the time to update my article on how to install OSX 10.5.5 on your eee 1000h.

The procedure is pretty much the same but I tried to add the cool stuff that has been discovered lately, mainly over at ipis-osx.

I tried to keep this guide more basic than the one before, so no iDeneb, iPC or Kalyway specific installation instructions, you’ll have to enable your brain at a certain moment

If you would like to install with the original OSX DVD see the excellent tutorial by Gregory Cohen.

Thanks go to Greg, slither2007, pentiumpc, Thireus,strongesthylian, comatron and all the other fine people at ipis-osx.

To begin with…

Get my install pack here (I compiled a configuration that worked for me. I take no credit at all for this. Guys like paul over here did the lions share of the work).

Unzip the downloaded file (usually it unzips to the same folder)

For each chapter, the files needed are in a nicely labeled folder that contains everything you need (including the download links for the components that I can’t provide freely).

1) BIOS Update to fix ACPI Problems

In order to avoid some very annoying quirks (like bootup taking 20-40 minutes…) you’ll should flash the custom BIOS. If you can wait out the loooooong boot time, you might just use the DSDT method described in chapter 3.4.8).

alex_l provided us with a new version of the 1902 BIOS and DSDT for the 1000h (XP friendly version).

It can be found in the BIOS_1000H_ALEX_L folder.

To flash the BIOS:

• Make sure the the ROM file is named to whatever the name of your comp model is, in my case 1000H.ROM (or 901.ROM)
• Put it alone on a USB drive and insert it into your computer. Reboot, hit F2
• Under the Boot tab of BIOS settings, change priority boot device to USB drive
• Go to exit, select exit + save changes
• This will cause the comp to reboot again, so as soon as you see it start up, HOLD DOWN alt + F2
• This will go into EZ-FLASH and update your BIOS
• Reboot, hit F2, double check that BIOS is working

• Create a new unformatted primary partition

3) Installation

3.1) Preparation – Downloads

• Download your preferred distribution from the usual sources (this is somewhat illegal even if you own a Leopard license, as I do) . I recommend:
  • iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6
  • iPC_OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 or iPC-X DL 10.5.6
• Burn it to a DVD

3.2) BIOS Settings

Enter BIOS Settings by pressing F2 at the gray boot screen

• Go to Advanced - Onboard Device Configuration
  • Onboard LAN: Disable
  • Onboard Camera: Enable
  • Onboard Wlan: Enable
  • Onboard Bluetooth: Enable
• Advanced – CPU settings
  • Max CPUID Value Limit: Disable
  • Hyper threading: Disable (If you have it in the BIOS – mainly for 901 users)
  • Intel Speedstep Enable (If you have it in the BIOS – mainly for 901 users)
• Save & Exit

3.3) Installing OSX

• Put the OSX DVD in your external DVD drive and boot from it (Hit ESC at the gray boot screen and select your DVD drive in the blue/yellow list)

  • The option for ICHx Fixed or Intel ICHx SATA Driver or something similar
  • The option for FireWire Remove or similar
  • Video/Intel and check GMA950
  • PS/2 Keyboard Fix or PS2Fix Keyboard or similar
  • CPUS=1 or One Core Fix
  • Don’t select any optional Kernel !!!!
• If you have the option to install some tools I’d recommend (if present):
  • Kext Helper
  • OSx86 Tools
  • Pacifist
  • Universal OSX86 Installer

Example for iDeneb 1.4

• iDeneb Essential System
• Patches 10.5.6 Ready / Alternative Essential Patch / PS2 Fix for ACPI kext 10.5.6 / PS2 Fix Keyboard
• Chipset / ICHx Fixed
• Fix / AppleSMBIOS / AppleSMBIOS 667
• Fix / FireWire Remove
• Fix / Battery Manager
• Fix / PowerOff_OpenHaltRestart
• Video / Intel / IntelGMA950
• And the recommended Apps

• Hit “Done” and “Install”
• Go have a coffee or two, install takes around 25 – 40 minutes.

3.4) Post-Install

After first boot you’ll have to answer some questions from Apple.

Don’t forget to define a password, we’ll need it later!

• Install them using kextHelper (it sets the corrects rights and stuff and makes a backup of your replaced kexts).

If ever a kext has your system crashing/not booting/unstable do the following:

• Boot into “single user mode” by specifying -s at the boot prompt
• Then type: /sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw / (don’t forget the / at the end!!)
• Then erase the offending kext(s) with the backup(s) (example of AppleIntelGMA950 kext) cp -R /Backup Extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext/ /System/Library/Extensions/ rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
• Reboot with the -f option

3.4.1) Fixing “About this Mac”

• Install the “About this Mac” package. Just click through it

3.4.2) DSDT file

The DSDT file can be used with the latest Chameleon bootloader.

• Launch the Univeral OSX86 Installer Application (ignore the errors, I only included the needed stuff) and install the bootloader to your OSX partition (beware to not choose any other partition!!!)

• Copy the corresponding dsdt.aml file to your root directory.

Attention there are two flavours: one for 1GB (original) 1000Hs and one for updated 2GB ones!!!

Attention the provided dsdt file only works with the 1000h!!!

For more information see this thread.

The DSDT file will handle and correct the following stuff :

• Brightness Control (wake fix, no need for AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext)
• Power Button Fix
• Lid close goes to sleep (no need for Clamshell.kext)

And on a more technical level:

• VGA fix (no need for Natit.kext)
• CPU Alias
• Mute fix
• _T_0 fix
• HPET fixed
• RTC fixed

Note: This things are already partially fixed by the modified BIOS that you have flashed – so basically you should be able to go back to the latest vanilla BIOS from ASUS, but I prefer to be sure, in case I mess up my DSDT file

3.4.3) Installing kexts

• Run “Kext Helper”

• Drag all kexts in the “3.4.2_InstallingKexts” folder onto the “Kext Helper” application (The SMBIOS kext might not be needed for iDeneb).

• Type your password, click “Easy Install” and follow the dialogs
• Reboot

3.4.4) Fixing the resolution

• You may have a strange 800×600 resolution. Don’t worry, we’ll fix that.
• Install “SwitchResX”

• Launch “SwitchResX” property panel

• Go to “Custom” and click on the plus sign “+”

• Create a custom resolution. Only change the “Pixel Clock “to 60 and the Horizontal resolution to 1024 and hit OK.

• Click “Apply”
• Launch “OSx86 Tool”
• Select “Enable/Disable Quartz GL”
• Click on “Enable Quartz GL”

• Reboot

3.4.5) Fix Power Management

• Delete the “PowerManagement.bundle” in System/Library/SystemConfiguration by dragging it to the Trash (it might be a good idea to make a copy first . You’ll have to enter your password to proceed.

• Now install the new “PowerManagement.bundle” by dragging it to System/Library/SystemConfiguration. Again you’ll have to enter your password to proceed.

• Launch “OSx86 Tool”
• Select “Repair Permissions” and “Clear Extensions Cache”
• Click on “Run Selected Tasks”. You’ll have to enter your password to proceed.

• Wait (this may take some time – 5 to 10 minutes)
• Reboot

Update: For those having problems with missing or double battery icons, read this:

This is a known problem on some configurations.

Could also be that it conflichts with the installed PowerManagement.bundle.

For me on my 1000h it worked like a charm but I had to delete the existing ACPIBattery.kext because I got two battery indicators.

If you have no icon, try the ACPIBattery.kext from my 10.5.5 postinstall pack here.

3.4.6) Install WLAN Driver

if you stayed with the original Ralink card

• Download here
• Use specific application to control WLAN
• I for my part installed a Apple Airport mini PCI WLAN card – BroadCom BCM 94321MC 802.11n (search for BCM94321MC on eBay – around 20$-30$) which works out of the box and is recognized as Airport card.

3.4.7) Fix sound

There is no need for the Audeee solution anymore. The VoodooHDA.kext resolves the problems (though only one Microphone is working – mono).

I’ve included the latest VoodooHDA.kext compiled and adapted to the eee by Thireus (22/04/09: v.3).

Check back often over at ipis-osx in order to get the latest versions, as I’m not able to update very often lately.

Optional:

• Install Spark
• Launch Spark
• Select “File/New Hotkey/System”
• Select the actions “Mute” and assign each a key combination under “Shortcut” (I’d suggest something like Ctrl-F10 – FN key does NOT work, they are not captured by OSX but by the BIOS directly!)
• Check “Display confirm Dialog” (this makes for a nice OSD)
• Hit “create”
• Repeat for “Volume Up” and “Volume Down”

Normally you should now have sound on boot, on wake from sleep, keyboard control for Volume and Mute and the possibility to select the input in the SystemPreferences. The Output (Speaker/Headphones) is switching automatically when plugging a headphone in.

3.4.8) Speedstep

The speedstep support has already been installed with the above kexts.

You can launch the GenericCPUPowerManagement Application from the “3.4.7_Speedstep” folder to check if the throttling is working.

3.4.9) Misc Fixes

This directory contains fixes for potential problems (always, and I mean ALWAYS make backups of your kexts before trying those fixes):

External USB to Ethernet : Provides the kexts for an external USB to Ethernet adapter

Time Machine Fix : Provides a known fix if your TimeMachine is not working as advertised Attention might break the RalinkDriver!!!

Bluetooth Fix : Fix for erratic Bluetooth (may or may not work with 10.5.6 – try it out)

Keyboard : Provides a fix for the Swiss French keyboard layout with a hacked kext. You can use the Ukulele app to create your own keyboard layouts.

Trackpad Fix: I had to install/reinstall those two kexts after my 10.5.7 upgrade.

That’s it…

What works:

- System running with EFI, vanilla and Quartz extreme support

- Stock Kernel : working with EFI

- GMA950 : working with QE & GL

- Sleep Mode : working (With wakeup by pressing power button)

- Wlan : working (After Start and wake on Powersaving a manual switch off/on is needed on original Ralink Card)

- Camera: : working

- Multitouch : 2 finger scrolling, 3 finger control, 2 finger doubletab

- SD Slot

- External USB to Ethernet adapter for the MacBook Air

- Time Machine

- Sound output working

- Brightness control

- Speedstep

- Sound input

- Ethernet

What does not work yet:
