Has anyone found drivers for xp yet?

[PerfectMark]

Have you tried omega drivers for the graphics card?

They work with PC mobile graphic chips, so they might work with your Mac.

The folks over at the OSx86 Project have already tested this one, and it doesn't work. (http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=12185&view=findpost&p=76912)

The wiki (http://wiki.onmac.net) also already has this driver listed, but it is known (for the moment) not to work.

[effects]

The acer travelmate 8200 bluetooth driver works to enable bluetooth.

Also, the SetupYukonWin_x32_v84923 drivers work for the ethernet adapter.

Please post all working driver list you have.

Thanks,
David
:cool:

Forgot to give the link to the yukon ethernet driver.

As anyone tried the ATI drivers from Acer ?
there is the download link (https://www.synapsenow.com/synapse/data/7117/documents/TM8200_VGA.zip) (on the Acer Website it say it's the ATI VGA Driver v8.201.2) (size is 73372.407 KB)

Here are the working wireless drivers.

http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-52527&velxr-layout=print

Extract the drivers from the compressed .exe (I used WinRAR) and then right click-> Upgrade Driver... on the "? Network Adapter" item. Rather than search, tell it you manually will choose the driver, and select "All Devices" then click "Have Disk" and point it at the WINXP_2K folder in the bits you just extracted. Ignore / accept the warning and viola... you should have a working wireless adapter.

Getting closer to having a complete set,
David

The acer travelmate 8200 bluetooth driver works to enable bluetooth.
:cool:

Hi !

Which one exactly ?

[effects]

The TM8200_BTW work great.

David

[Micmac2]

If you're lokking where you can download the Acer Driver https://www.synapsenow.com/synapse/data/7117/documents/TM8200_BTW.zip

[mnemonic]

What works, what doesn't?


Hardware-accelerated graphics?
Wireless ethernet adapter?
Sound card?
USB?
DVD Drive?

[effects]

Currently, the dvd does work. Wireless, ethernet, bluetooth, and a generic horrible video driver.

We need better video driver, fully functional audio (I have a partly functional one, but am holding out till I find a full functional), infrared sensor, touchpad drivers (although touchpad does work).
Those are of the biggest concern.

David

[effects]

Oh yeah, USB does work

You have wireless working on a MBP? Which drivers?

[effects]

Please refer to my earlier statement. It is the ibm wireless drivers and I provided a link.

David:D

[enigmaaron]

Has anyone actually successfully connected a bluetooth device? The drivers in here install fine but anytime I try to do anything it tells me I don't have a bluetooth device installed.

Also, this thread (http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=12185) is pretty comprehensive in trying out different drivers.

As well as the Wiki (http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Drivers).

[Speida]

hi, i;'ve downloaded the 77wc36ww.exe of 4,837,552 from the IBM website gave here.. I put it on a memory stick and transferred to windows.. i've run it and installed it... nothing changed.. wat should i do??

I didn't quite get wat effects said before, sorry.

Thanks!

[trafnar]

Yeah, how did you guys get the wireless driver to work?

it says to 'right click the device in the device manager' in the wiki.. but i dont see the device in the device manager..

its not under network connections.. there are a bunch of question-mark devices.. maybe it is one of those?

how did this work for those of you using wifi??

[effects]

I gave instructions on installing the wifi. You are right, it doesn't recognize the device on it's own. It is one of the question marks for unknown device. You have to follow the instructions. It will help if you install the normal ethernet drivers first.

[taubut]

i have tried every single one of the (unknown device) (question mark) ones, and none of them will let me install the driver after i downloaded the file and installed the exe file.

can somebody please help me here. I have the ethernet working just fine, as i am typing this in XP on my macbook pro right now.

-thanks

[trafnar]

thanks effects, i tried your instructions again and got it to work.

for everyone else, the item you choose in device manager is: Other devices>ethernet controller

or somethin.. it says 'ethernet' even though its wireless

[taubut]

i have done that, i right-clicked on the "Ethernet Controller" one, and then i choose "update driver" (i dont see a manually install driver) and then i point to the right folder, but it never seems to find the file for some reason. :(

can somebody please help me out.

i have tried many times and nothing seems to work.

Make sure that the folder you point to has the INF file in it for the driver....that's what it's looking for the INF not the driver.

[taubut]

it does have the inf file in the folder :( i dont know why mine does not what to recognize for some reason. :(.

i can make a video of my desktop and what happens if that would help at all.

maybe you could show me what i am doing wrong that way.

[Speida]

ok.. i made it work...

effects can you post yout audio driver? cuz i used the one on the wiki driver page but it doesnt work.. :S no sound coming out..

[richlin71]

taubut, i'm having the same problems installing the wifi driver. LAN ethernet is working fine, and when i try updating the remaining ?Ethernet driver and put in the right directory, it can't find the right driver.

[taubut]

if anybody could please help me out that would be awesome.

posted above is my problem

[RichP]

I just got the wifi driver working. I clicked on the device in device manager; then rather have it find drivers in the specific file, I chose my own device to install, then chose network device and then the first of the options it gave for wifi (it was listing the drivers in the file I previously tried to point it at)

In fact, I am sending this reply from windows!

Ditto! Any additional info on getting BT working?

[FrostyFire]

How about some decent instructions on how to install the BT drivers.

That funky programmer guide on the OSX86 forum is teh sux.

[stradz]

Can somebody provide any sound card drivers for winXP? I'm looking on a web all day but with no results...

Thanx

Have you looked at the following OnMac Wiki entry? (http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Users/XOM/Drivers)
