eeeMac: Sleep working after all!

I thought sleep wasn't working on my eee PC 901 running OSX, but it turns out that it was working all along. The problem is that the screen backlight is off when it restores from sleep, so I have to hit the screen brightness key after hitting the power button to wake. The computer came on, I just couldn't see the screen. I haven't tried the wired ethernet port or the microphone in port. The wifi driver works but the program you have to run isn't as transparent as the native wifi driver. All in all, it's a brilliant success. What I like about the instructions I followed is that it works with the standard retail Leopard DVD and you can install all updates. I really like my Apple netbook.

The eeeMac: Installing OSX on EEE PC 901

OSX Leopard is happily running on my EEE PC 901 with a RunCore 64GB SSD and 2GB RAM. I followed these helpful instructions:

Link At first, I was having problems with some software because I somehow didn't set up the video card right for Quartz Extreme. I found this in the MSI Wind forums that fixed me up.

The only problem I'm having is that the eee doesn't recover properly from sleep. I know that was an issue and I installed the supposed fix for it but it's not working. More work to do. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying the experience.

What's up, Dock?

In this installment of what's in my Dock (as in OSX dock), I have added two safari shortcuts to my dock: one for gmail and another for Twitter. I've installed Google Gears and I've set up my google apps gmail for offline use. I've also installed Google notifier so that I can direct sent mail by default to gmail. Instead of using one of the Twitter apps, I've decided to create a web link to Twitter.com and gave it a snazzy Twitter icon. So far, so good. I'll let you know how well it wears.
