Few More Issues

March 9, 2011 Leave a comment

Ok. We are almost done. Our trackpad is working, we have  Chameleon boot loader and we don’t need to type anything like “GraphicsEnabler=Yes” while booting.

Sound

Problem number one is the sound. Actually I should say: the lack of the sound. Go ahead and open “System Preferences”. Sound effects are grey out which means they are not available.

To fix that we need only one kept – Azalia Audio. Open “AIOdownloads” pack and run the program. Restart your laptop. The sound is back.

Power management

We need four kexts to have perfect power and battery management. Go ahead to “AIOdownloads” and unzip two files:

  • AppleACPI_Thermal_EC
  • VoodooPowerMini & VoodooBattery

After unzipping the archives you should have four kexts. Select all of them and copy/move them to SnowLeopard/System/Library/Extensions directory. Authenticate with the password. Before restarting your machine we need to run small and extremely useful utility called “Kext Utility”. One more time open “AIOdownloads” pack. Unzip “KextUtility” and place the app in your Applications folder. Run the program.

Once it’s all done you may restart your computer.

Bluetooth

Oh yes, we will have a working bluetooth connection. The only thing we need to remember is the switch on the right side of your laptop. It has to be permanently On. If yours is Off at this point just switch it On and one more time open “AIOdownloads” folder. There is a zip file called “ToshibaBluetooth”. Unzip it and copy/move the kept into SnowLeopard/System/Library/Extensions folder. Authenticate. Run “Kext Utility” and restart. That’s it, the bluetooth is back. Just remember to have the switch always On.

We are done (for now). You may learn how to change some graphic elements like boot screen here.
