NetBookInstaller + Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Backlight Fixed)

i dont have a string thats 6.0.0

I don't have it either..
I do have -

Code: Select all

   <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
   <string>6.0</string>

and

Code: Select all

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
   <string>6.1.0</string>

which to me seem the most similar to what's described. ronin510, would you be a bit more specific as to where the editable string is, i.e. under what key?

i dont have a string thats 6.0.0

is it cfbundleversion or cfbundleinfodictionary?

or better yet, can you upload your appleintelintegratedframebuffer.kext?

i dont even have a /Extra/S10ext folder... only /Extra/GeneralExtensions


arg.

I have to dig into this myself. But you should have an /Extra/S10Ext folder, unless you unchecked the box to install S10 extensions when you installed NBI. Otherwise, your machine might not be recognized correctly.

Everybody should put which machine they're using in their profile. What machine are you using?

sorry about that. I have a regular s10. I reinstalled NBI 0.84 RC1, but still no s10ext folder...


i did something stupid and now im reinstalling osx all together. i'll let you guys know how it goes when im done... (slow flash drive means almost an hour before im done installing ;_;)

so what im doing right now is...
1. reformat old partition
2. install modified 10.6 with 2 usb keys
3. download nbi 0.84 rc1 and install
4. update to 10.6.3
5. redo the edit that was listed here (if i have the folder)

be back later haha

Im sure I don't have a "6.0.0" -

Code: Select all

$ cat /Extra/S10Ext/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext/Info.plist | grep -A 1 CFBundleVersion
   <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
   <string>6.1.0</string>

and

Code: Select all

$ cat /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext/Info.plist | grep -A 1 CFBundleVersion
   <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
   <string>6.1.0</string>


.. I'm tempted to modify the /Extra/S10Ext version from "6.1.0" to "1006.0.0" just to see what happens

UPDATE: Modified and it didn't cause trouble, though it did not fix the problem.

Okay, I apologize it's not working for people. I think I figured out what's happening. NBI patches the current version of AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext that's installed. So when you install the 10.6.3 update, NBI re-runs it's process and creates the new kext using the 10.6.3 version. vanii's S10Enabler doesn't rerun after the 10.6.3 update so it keeps the 10.6.2 version instead.

The version we want to be using of AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext is "Version 1.6.0" not "Version 1.6.10" from the 10.6.3 version. You can tell which version that is by getting info on the file. I'm uploading the version I use. Simply delete the one in your /Extra/S10Ext, put this file in there, run UpdateExtra.app, and restart.

10.6.3 and the backlight are working on my end. Hope that helps.

Nice find thanks heaps, testing now..

UPDATE: It works!!!

heres my problem. when i run NBI, it says my device is unsupported, so it installs general extensions instead of ones catered specifically to the s10. then i only have a generalextensions folder in my /Extra/ and I have to replace applehda.kext with voodoohda.kext to have working sound.


anybody know why its reporting as an unsupported device?

(im dual booting winxp and osx)


edit:

some googling later, i've found that the machine.plist isnt displaying correctly, so im getting general drivers instead.

change the model name in the lenovo area to the output of "sysctl hw.model" and re-run NBI and im getting the s10 recognized now

Sweet, thanks for clarifying. I'm reinstalling myself right now, so I'll try this out and report back as a second opinion.

And just to be clear: After 10.6.3 update, we do NOT need to do anything to the /S/L/E/ version of the kext, we can just replace the /Extra/S10Ext version with the one you provided and run UpdateExtra - correct?
