Andy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hello, In this MSI U100 netbook, the webcam is detected and works under 10.5.4, but not detected in 10.6.0 . I would like to know if there is a way to save the webcam kexts/etc from a 10.5.4 install, and then install them in 10.6.0 in the same netwbook. I did many hours of searching to find an kext for this webcam but could not locate one, hence my question. Please provide me with detail. Thanks in advance.

Andy Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hey chief, I posted my question in Other Hardware category which I thought is for other hardware except the Latitudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted December 13, 2011 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2011 Indeed it is, i was just giving you a friendly advice, since i noticed that not no one had answered What you can do is: * Try and locate the kext(s) that worked with it before and use them again, sometimes 10.5 kexts works fine under 10.6 * Replace the cam with one that is known to work * Check any of the wind forums, see if anyone else have an solution... Personally. .i would go with no. 1 or 2 first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since mic or line in has been reported non-working for MSI U100, there is no real use for the webcam now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I suggest you indeed ask that question again at www.kexts.com forum. Update: or maybe this helps http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=2138 ? I tried this dsdt with my 10.6.0 , and it caused KP on voodooHDA. Do you have a MS U100?
