ACER 3680-2367 Specs: Celeron M520 1.6ghz, 533mhz FSB Intel graphics: GMA950 WIFI broadcom 4311 Bios Version: Original. no updates applied. cardbus; TEXAS INSTRUMENTS (8039) memory reader TEXAS INSTRUMENTS (803b) Many other submodels will apply to his guide since they share almost the same hardware. Before Installation , get Nawcom ModCD. It saved me a lot of times. If you commit a mistake like installing the wrong kext or Snow leopard not rebuilding extensions cache, simply load from this cd and choose your harddisk. It always let me load Macosx and perform repairs. Important: Download IOPCIFamily found at http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=892. Just to be on safe side Borrow a monitor and a usb mouse. STEPS 1.- Boot from 10.6.6i disc. (Tried Iatkos S3v2 but install times were horrible) 2.- Make a partition using disk utility. 3.- When you get to the "select your partition" step, choose "personalize setup". 4.- Options: Bootloader: Choose Boot32. If you choose another, GMA950 kext will not load. Boot options: Make sure to check 32 bit mode. Its very important. RTC: Preselected one is ok. Make sure to check only one. Wireless: Choose BroadcomFIX Wired: No option in this distro worked for me. AHCI: Make sure to check legacyPII (Don't remember exact name just look for that in description) PS2: VoodooPS2 will enable your trackpad basic function (will work like a simple mouse). Uncheck ApplePS2 Sound: VoodooHDA: any version will work Start installation. Many times seemed to get stuck, try to click once a while so that it refreshes progress bar. Post Install Fixes: After install you will notice that Airport is not getting loaded (no aiport icon). No wireless, no ethernet. Your hardware is not being fully detected. Open finder. Inside it click a button that looks like a magnifying glass. Finder will close and reopen. Now you can see hidden files and folders. In finder, open Applications folder. Copy the IOPCIFamily kext you previously downloaded and drop it over Kext Utility it will ask for your password. Reboot. Now that your PCI devices are detected, Airport will load. Broadcom 4311 working, Marvell Ethernet now is posible. This Acer model comes with an on-off switch for WIFI. If Airport is loaded but will not turn ON (clickng Turn Airport On makes nothing) Then reboot, when you see the ACER Boot Logo, switch it. Now when macosx loads, Airport will be on, if it didnt work then repeat procedure. If you happen to remove the battery, you will have to repeat this step. I had a Iatkos S3 v2 disc, i installed the yukon package from it (8038) and it worked . You can search in the hazard page since it looks like it was done by hazard. Trackpad: look for voodoops2/trackpad version 1.98 it will enable trackpad options. I had trouble installing this kext sometimes it couldn't create cache extensions file, please borrow a usb mouse just in case it is necessary. Before installing, delete acpips2nub and voodoops2 from extra and extensions folder. I ran kext utility after this then i installed. What I cannot get to work yet: Cardbus Memory reader They are detected but have no clue about proper kext. As far as i know, memory reader will be a hard task and someone says that will not have a chance to work, until cardbus works. Will try to fix this later. Hope this helps you. UPDATE: FAKESMC : updated to version 3.1.0 now shows no errors (something about key not found, it never stopped macos to load but i dislike error messages). GMA950: Thought you can see flash videos, quicktime and VLC fail to show a image, Preview will not show images. Even setting VLC to output video through openGL fails (no drawable nswindow). Chess is too slow. Realized that installed VLC was 64 bit. Downloaded and installed 32 bit version. No luck yet. Installed this botloader but did no difference. Still here is the link since i kept it installed. http://www.osx86.net/video-graphics/10845-msi-wind-u100-gm950-10-6-6-qe-ci-but-no-opengl.html Ended up installing 10.6.6 kexts found at http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=210660&st=150 OpenGl now works fine, VLC works fine, Chess is faster. I recommend to install the bootloader, since i remember to have tried this kexts before and they didnt worked. PCMCIA aka Cardbus: Using Chun nan's IOPCIFamily (Version 8) gets detected without loosing Wifi. Unfotunately cannot test it since i currently have no card at hand. Texas Memory Reader. Got it detected with IOSDHCIblock.kext (edited Plist) but does nothing when inserting a sdcard.(Except when i insert a sdcard prior to boot, shows some messages but fails).

I dont think i understood that, here is my code. Maybe i commit a big mistake and placed the wrong code since i searched for _ADR and only see one _ADR, 0x00020000 match : Device (GFX0) { Name (_ADR, 0x00020000) Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) { If (PEGA) { Return (0x00) } Else { Return (0x0F) } } Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized) { Store (And (Arg0, 0x03), DSEN) } Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized) { If (LEqual (NDID, 0x01)) { Name (TMP1, Package (0x01) { 0xFFFFFFFF }) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID1), Index (TMP1, 0x00)) Return (TMP1) } If (LEqual (NDID, 0x02)) { Name (TMP2, Package (0x02) { 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF }) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID1), Index (TMP2, 0x00)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID2), Index (TMP2, 0x01)) Return (TMP2) } If (LEqual (NDID, 0x03)) { Name (TMP3, Package (0x03) { 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF }) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID1), Index (TMP3, 0x00)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID2), Index (TMP3, 0x01)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID3), Index (TMP3, 0x02)) Return (TMP3) } If (LEqual (NDID, 0x04)) { Name (TMP4, Package (0x04) { 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF }) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID1), Index (TMP4, 0x00)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID2), Index (TMP4, 0x01)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID3), Index (TMP4, 0x02)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID4), Index (TMP4, 0x03)) Return (TMP4) } Name (TMP5, Package (0x05) { 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF }) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID1), Index (TMP5, 0x00)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID2), Index (TMP5, 0x01)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID3), Index (TMP5, 0x02)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID4), Index (TMP5, 0x03)) Store (Or (0x00010000, DID5), Index (TMP5, 0x04)) Return (TMP5) } Method (DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x04) { "AAPL,HasPanel", Buffer (0x04) { 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "model", Buffer (0x07) { "GMA950" } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } Device (DD01) { To be honest, i have never done this before. Compiler say no errors found. Also applied RTC snow leopard fix, changed all _T_0 to T_0

By the way, i tried patching DSDT fix with "Has panel" patch and DTGP method, no luck. But... got GMA950 working by installing Boot32 bootloader included in 10.6.6i by hazard. I really dont know what is so special in this bootloader, but it works like a charm and it doesn't needs patched DSDT. If anyone has a clue, i would like to know. Tried other bootloaders included in that distro : RC4, RC5, AsereBLN 1.1.9 none of them worked: 32bit mode would give a gray screen or simply not loaded kext, 64bit mode would not load kext since it is not 64bit compatible. Even 10.6.2 wich is supposed to be 64bit compatible showed as not loaded. Found the link for IOPCIFAMILY. http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=892 download the KEXT and check it it works for you.

I`m currently trying to make my MACOSX 10.6.6i hazard version work at full in an Acer 3680-2367 It's a similar hardware (Celeron M520 and bcm4311 instead of atheros) I experienced the same lack of functionality, no WIFI, no Yukon ethernet nor pcmcia detection. But if i placed IOPCIFamily that i got from www.kexts.com, (dont remember the link, but in description the uploader praise it as having solved the wifi problem ( no power on, so no detection). But it did more than that, in 10.6.3 ethernet, wifi broadcom 4311, and pcmcia were now detected without problems thought in 10.6.6 it will not detect ethernet. I know it is not a solution for you but i think it is the root of all our problems as it was for me, give a try to other IOPCIfamily kext. by the way, Still fighting with my gma 950, can someone pass me the original kexts for 10.6.6? so far i only get a grey screen, tried kexts, natit and EFI string. Haven't tried the DSDT stuff but i'm working on it, if it works, i will make a thread later. I want the original kexts cause i don't know if the hazard installation has original or patched kexts and perhaps that is causing my problems.
