Of Trackpads and Other Quirks

It's no secret that I've had problems with my trackpad - I'd broadcast that little snippet practically in all corners of my cyber existence. Well the good news is make that "I used to have problems with my trackpad". It's up and running like its old self again which makes me one happy hackintosher.


Now how did that happen???


I couldn't even begin to make a logical summary of what happened so just I'll just provide a timeline to better illustrate things.

BIOS F.15 for the Mini 1000

There's a new bios update for the HP Mini 1000 series, called BIOS F.15. It was already released last August but I only saw just today perhaps owning to my being busy with Snow Leopard.

Click on the image to get to the download page for the BIOS update.


Those who still got Windoze on their Mini's (dual-booting with Mac OS X), you can just boot into that other operating system and run sp45107.exe, (1/1 , 1.12M) to update your system. Remember to keep the Mini plugged into a power source.


Now for those, like me, who have opted to completely eradicate the other OS, you can follow this guide to create a bootable Bart_PE USB.
