Along with the suggestion already made about Font Smoothing (I use Medium - Best for LCD from the Appearance Pref pane) I'd look if you have different color profiles selected in the Displays Pref pane.

When you say sound works, does that include the headphone jack on a Mini 9? I can't use it in my work environment without earbuds, hence why I'm still running 10.5.8.

Me, too. All is well with the DM-10V. Awesome work on the transition to 10.6.2.

The DM-9 is the next challenge. Not sure what I'll do with that machine. I really liked it best when running 10.5.8 with all the amenities working properly (e.g., sound and mic). Perhaps I'll go back to L and abandon SL altogether in the 9.

Thanks for the good work, meklort , Tea and others.

One thing though: in my Dell mini 10v, the sleep feature no longer works after upgrade, either through the sleep command or through closing the lid. The power light would dim momentarily, the screen goes dark and the power light goes solid from there on afterwards. I have no way to revive the machine other than to forcibly power it down (prolonged pressing of power button).

My update sequence:
1) I copied the 10.6.1 kernel using the Terminal app, 'sudo cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel_10_6_1'
2) Downloaded and ran RC4. Checked every single option when I ran it.
3) ran the update from Apple -> Software Update

I'd be grateful if anyone could offer suggestions on what things to diagnose the issue, and what steps I should do to fix it.

I'm new to Mac OSx with less than 1 month of fooling around with it....Has anyone updated to 10.6.2 using Meklort's instruction having a dual boot OS (in my case Window 7)...Any problems so far? Once I finished installing both OS, I would get a boot error running NBI rc3...I had to use Window 7 recover/repair to fix my booting up....

meklort, thanks once again! 10.6.2 worked flawless..

[ukbodypilot]

I had a stable 10.6 I now have a stabe 10.6.2

Installed 8.3RC4
reboot
Installed combo 10.6.2 update
reboot
Installed 8.3RC4
reboot

Along the way I updated by install USB with make 8.3RC4 incase I have to boot from USB to recover a mess but there was none.

Anyone tried Hibernate yet?

I found an issue with NetbookBootMaker 0.8.3 RC4 and have already reported the issue on the Google Code page.

NBBM will prep a Snow Leopard flash drive just fine. However, when used on a Leopard drive it will produce an Extensions.mkext file with a total file size of Zero KB. I haven't tried to boot from the flash drive, but I can only assume that this will affect the boot process. It also doesn't help with creating the NetbookCD ISO.

I have enabled Font Smothing with the terminal on 10.6:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 2

Is this right?
I believe in the Appearance Pref pane on 10.6 there is no dropbox to select a profile like "Medium - Best For LCD". But 10.5.8 offers this option.

I'm using the display profile "Acer 1/Dell Mini 9" on my Mini10v.

Beside that the display on 10.5.8 appears finer, the system boots much faster than 10.6.

If you could compare it on a Mini10v, and having 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 installed, I would be interested if you agree with me.
Musik. Hallo Bernd.
But again, thank you very much!

You are correct. Sub-pixel anti-alisasing is not working in 10.6.x for me, and it was under 10.5.x. I started a thread about this that was ignored by all and sundry! Without it, the fonts have gone back to the 10.2 and earlier days!

Anyway, thanks for the great work anyway, but it would be nice if someone could look at this.
