• Configuration:
  [list:1ngam1d3]
• I use minimal DSDT Edit from http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt.php[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• SMbios set to MacPro4,1. Actually, I'm not sure what I'm doing here. I choose this after several benchmark under different SMbios. In order to match with MacPro4,1, I edit FakeSMS.kext:
  smc-compatible: to smc-thurley
  REV: to ATkPAAAF[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• I followed tonymac guide to inject BOTH Graphic VGA info to DSDT.
  Please find DSDT edited with VGA as attached DSDT_9800GT_GT430.aml[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• 32bit and 64bit are working. I use 64bit.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

[/*:m:1ngam1d3][/list:u:1ngam1d3]

• Both Graphic Card NVIDIA 9800GT and GT430 are working.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• All harddisk including the one connect to SATA III is recognized.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Sound card working[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Network card not working yet.
  I just realized it when I write this post. Currently I'm using wireless network so it's not an issue for me.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Internal Card Reader working[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Bluetooth Asus USB-BT21 working out of the box
  Option "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" grey out. Bluetooth device is able to work after wakeup.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Wireless USB DWA-140 H/W Ver.B1 F/W Ver1.30 working. Works in either 32bit or 64bit.
  Download support software from Ralink RT2870 http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=3[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Voip USB Adapter USB-B2k is recognized.
  But SkyMacMate make Ralink wireless utility hang (Wireless USB DWA-140). So it's useless to have SkyMacMate running and I don't plan find a compatible wireless usb adapter.
  Workaround #1. I use Voip USB Adapter inside Parallels Desktop running Windows. It's working perfectly with SkypeMate under Windows.
  Workaround #2. Use Wireless USB TP-Link TL-WN821N (please see more info below) and running in 32bit. SkypMacMate is working fine.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 is working.
  Quality is not as good as in Windows due to lag.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad
  Apple Magic Mouse
  Logitech Mouse M705
  Apple Magic Trackpad
  USB Extension Buffalo BSH4U005
  are working.
  Somehow computer sometime doesn't response to Apple Keyboard during booting. I often couldn't go to Bios "DEL button" or choose booting option "Tab button". Workaround: use normal PC keyboard when needed during booting.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Previously, I use Wireless USB TP-Link TL-WN821N. It's working, but it doesn't support 64bit.
  Software driver download directly from D-Link DWA-160. Installation is finished but failed. Change idProduct and idDevice in installed kext AtherosOtusMac.kext to match with TL-WN821N. Run Kext Utility after changed. Restart.
  Good thing with this device is that Voip USB Adapter USB-B2k is working properly by running SkyMacMate under Mac.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Apple Wireless Keyboard is working[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

• Bluetooth Planex BT-MicroEDR2X is working.
  Bluetooth device is not working after computer wakeup. As I know, there is a workaround to solve this issue by restarting bluetooth driver.[/*:m:1ngam1d3]

Try Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx Ethernet kext. Everyone else with this board got onboard ethernet working with that one.

 

[twoace88]

Confirm 10.6.8 is working fine.

bigpoppa206, thank you for your suggestion. will update when I have it works.

Update: Sorry, I shouldn't confirm because I should post on another topic viewtopic.php?f=81&t=23080
