Enemy Territory on Nov 2007 macbook (Black)

so i have a macbook i just got for christmas and im trying to play Enemy Territory on it with the most recent patchs etc. when i open up the game all i hear is a constant sound that keeps looping and gets really annoying. it never did this for any other platforms does anyone else play this game or know if this is due to leopard or is it the new graphics chip in the macbooks
thanks!

Have you tried this:

My mouse pointer was constantly moving to bottom right in UT2004 and Saurbauten. Fixed it by adding the following line at end of /etc/profile:
  export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
The export could also be place in ~/.bashrc for each user, or in startup script for each game.  By putting it in /etc/profile it applies to all users.

  • 2007 Macbook Black Battery wont recharge?

    I have had to buy 5 new batteries for this macbook.  If the battery is drained of power and not recharged within three days it dies, and can not be recharged.  Does anyone know of any fixes? Better batteries? Apple refunds? Is Apple aware of this horrible product?

    If the battery is drained of power and not recharged within three days it dies, and can not be recharged.
    Normal for all Lithium-Poly batteries.

  • Late 2007 Macbook (Black) not running in 64-bit

    Hey everyone, (i hope this question/post belongs here) I was wondering why am i unable to run in 64-bit, i checked about this mac and went to the software and it says No for 64-bit. Would you say that my blackbook is old? I thought once you were able to install snow leopard you would automatically get 64-bit. I see firefox uses a lot more ram that it would normally do it leopard so i assumed it was 64-bit before i finally realized that i was only running in 32-bit . What is the deal?
    Thanks!

    First: with very few exceptions the Kernel runs in 32 bit mode. It won't matter unless you have over 4GB of RAM in your BlackBook (which the machine doesn't support anyway).
    Most of the apps are running in 64 bit, but FireFox is a 32 bit app. It doesn't matter what kernel is running.
    Don't worry about the 32 bit Kernel, it won't have any effect on your laptops performance. Look for other threads where there is tons more information about this.

  • Question about Snow Leopard and my Macbook Black

    I have a macbook black and run it with 4gb of ram right now--the new info for snow leopard says that the OS will support 8gb+ ... is there a hardware issue on a late 2007 macbook black that's preventing this or will I be able to drop 8gb of ram in this guy once i upgrade the os?

    Yes, considering that Snow Leopard (10.6.x) will theoretically support up to 16TB of RAM (Even though that is not possible right now on a consumer machine) it does not mean your hardware will support it. If you have only hardware capable of utilizing 4 GB of RAM, then no matter what the OS's max is, if the RAM slots and the rest of the hardware can not address or otherwise interact with the RAM, it will not be supported, and considering you do not have a MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro, you will not be able to address this amount of RAM, and could cause problems. If you need 8 GB of RAM, then look into this computer for notebooks:
    13": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB991LL/A?mco=NjcxMTQ5Mg
    15": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC118LL/A?mco=NjcxMTU2OQ
    17": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC226LL/A?mco=NjcxMTU1OQ
    or for desktops: iMacs: 20": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB417LL/A?mco=NDE4Mzg3Ng
    24": http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB420LL/A?mco=NDE4Mzg5OQ
    For Mac Pros: Quad-Core: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB871LL/A?mco=NDE4NDIwNA
    and for 8-Core: http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB535LL/A?mco=NDE4NDIyMQ
    The 8-core machine can come with up to 32 GB, but for 32 GB of RAM from Apple, it is $6100 extra from the original 6GB that comes standard. For the best deal for the amount of power you get for how much you pay would be the Mac Pro, and for notebooks it would be the MacBook Pro, and if you are doing the things that soak up RAM like video editing, you would want a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro or a 24" iMac, because the screen size would be best for displaying your RAM-soaking applications. If you need tons of power (talking 3.2+ Gigaflops a second) you would want to get a Mac Pro, with a 24" or 30" external display screen. You could also get a 3rd party screen for less, but if you want all of the features of the Apple Display, you should go for this option. Also, the Mac Pro can support more that 1 24" cinema display if configured correctly, which can be combined to make a really wide screen, perfect for the ultimate multitasker. Hope that was of help.

    A magnet fell on my macbook "late 2007 series black" and it stopped working. When i start my macbook up it sits on the white screen. i tried inserting the snow leopard disk to do a clean install but the disk ejects and all i see is the pointer. i even bought a new hard drive to do the clean install but the same thing happens. Please Help

    Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
    For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

  • Late 2007 MacBook Pro intermittent black screen

    I have this very odd issue with an intermittent black screen on a late 2007 MacBook Pro (4GB/320GB 7200rpm) Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1
    Apologies for the length of the post.
    In cycles separated by a few days to a week, the screen will flicker to black, initially very briefly, then for longer periods until it is black continuously, where it stays from a few hours to a couple of days then it flickers to normal, again very briefly then with longer intervals until it is steady and normal. It can then be fine for a week or more.
    When the screen is working, it's perfect; no lines, stripes, colour shift or any difference to what one would expect. When it is black, the backlight is still operational (and dimming when on battery power) but there is no image - all pixels are solid black. Shining a torch on/through the screen does not reveal any image. When mirrored, the external monitor shows the brightness adjustment moving up and down in response to the key presses but it has no effect on the internal screen.
    My external display (Eizo) is always functional no matter what the built-in one is doing and is completely solid at all times.
    There is no correlation to temperature (I have SMC fan control), sleep, restart, fan speed, power source or anything environmental. The MacBook is on a fan stand for most of the time. External connections make no difference. If the fault is present before changing any of these factors, it is there after.
    I am aware that this machine has known vulnerabilities with GPU and display issues but none present quite like this. I have performed the usual trawl on the net and I now know more than I ever wanted to about attempts to fix it.
    Software remedies attempted:
    Resetting PRAM and power manager.
    No sleep image file (never used this option). I deleted the old swap files that were there in any case but this unsurprisingly did nothing.
    Resetting the display settings via keyboard commands or Sys Prefs.
    Screen savers and settings are not implicated.
    Nothing whatever in the console logs that I can see.
    TechTool Pro gives video RAM a clean bill of health and all other components pass including tests on the HD with TTP and DiskWarrior.
    Safe boot and booting from systems on backups seem to have no effect but one safe boot restored the screen briefly - I think it was a coincidence.
    I updated the OS from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 while this fault was coming and going and it made no difference. I usually prepare the machine for updates by running the cron jobs, repairing permissions etc.
    In expectation of suffering this fault when the external monitor was not connected, I installed iScreen on the MacBook and use my iPad as a supplementary display and that works well too. Having all three operating, when the internal is functioning, is quite fun.
    Hardware tests:
    I removed the upper plate holding the keyboard and the interior of the machine was very clean with only some small dust accumulations in the fans, which were removed. There was no sign of any discolouration, corrosion, or other unpleasantness on the PCBs. All connectors and wiring looked good.
    Every part of the logic board, cables and connectors were percussed, gently deflected and spray freezed, both while the fault was present and not (machine running) with no effect.
    Display back was removed and the LCD board given the same treatment. No changes.
    Display cable disconnected at both ends and tested for continuity (probe resistance accounted for) and consistency with a Fluke 87 multimeter - passed OK. On a scope, active signals and power were present on all the pins when the display was working but the fault did not occur during this test, which might have been interesting.
    No apparent shorting of the display cable but without removing it this cannot be proved.
    Problem not affected by hinge position, pressure on any part of the display, twisting, percussing etc.
    Used compressed air to blow out the connectors which were reseated carefully.
    After all this, the machine remains in exactly the same state, cycling between operational and black with various flickering stages as it comes and goes.
    All I can deduce is that as the external monitor has always been OK, the GPU itself is probably working fine and the fault is more likely in the LCD panel electronics. I doesn't feel like a software issue to me but heck, I don't know what is going on.
    Does anyone have any experience of something like this?
    Thanks,
    Joel.

    Thomas,
    Thanks for your post and I'm sorry you have suffered the same problems.
    My trust levels are not very high because it's clear there is some systemic display problem with this model, which is why Apple are fixing them. As I mentioned, we have no idea if the replacement boards are any different to the originals. From your experience it would look like they are not and my suspicion is that it is very unlikely that Apple made a new batch of these logic boards a long time after the model was discontinued. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, I stand to be corrected.
    As you say, the difference between our two faults appears to be that a physical deformation of some part of the machine does something with yours but never did with mine. At one point I felt that a short in the internal display cable seemed like the best explanation for the problem but it looks like it's more complex than that because of the behaviour of our external displays and subsequent strange booting behaviour.
    If, as I have read, the soldering of the GPU was faulty and leads to progressive failure of the graphics sub-system, then all kinds of strange behaviours could arise and produce the intermittent problems we have seen. Micro-fractures of the chip interconnects would suggest that tiny movements might change the presentation of the fault. If soldering really is the issue, then keeping the machine as cool as possible will extend the life of the connections. Consequently mine will sit on a fan-stand for the rest of its days, which is no problem because it just had Win 7 installed on it and I don't want to be seen in public with it in that state ;-)
    All we can conclude is that a logic board swap fixes the problem for some indeterminate period, so the problem is on that board. Whether it is a design fault with the NVIDIA chip itself or a manufacturing fault with the board is not clear but we can probably forget LCD panels, cables, sleep issues, power supplies and all the other peripheral issues unless there is yet another design issue that causes the GPU to fail.
    Are you intending to present your machine to Apple for another go at a fix?

  • Late 2007 MacBook Pro S-Video adapter no output.

    I've troubleshooted everything I can, so hopefully one of you can help me!
    My Fiancé's mom has a late 2007 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. She has an older tv, so I was wanting to mirror the display so she can watch Netflix on her TV.
    After digging around on the Internet, other users said the APPLE M9267G/A adapter solved this problem without the need for a converter box, or upscaler. Needless to say, it doesn't work..
    I've tested the cable, port on the computer, and they both work. I've tried running just the yellow Composite video out instead of the S video through the video in on the TV, and a VCR... Nothing.
    I used my old Powerbook 1.67, which has an S Video out to the TV, and it works perfect. When I plug the adapter into the Powerbook's Dual Link DVI port, same port as the MacBook Pro, it doesn't work..
    I chose S-Video, even though the TV has Component inputs, because other forums said it wouldn't work without an expensive converter box.
    They said this would be the solution.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Same problem, though with an early-2008 MBP. Things worked fine with 10.6.x and as soon as I went to 10.9 the external display stopped working.
    The first time I plug in the adaptor (whether or not there is a video cable attached) the screen goes black and nothing shows up on the external screen. When I unplug the adaptor, I get the display back on the MBP but it's at low resolution and it has put me at the general login screen. When I put the adaptor back in the second time, it essentially locks up the display to where it is black and no key presses or adaptor removals brings the display back. I have to reset the MBP by holding down the power button. I submitted a bug report too, but have no faith Apple will do anything. Big fail, Apple.

  • Enemy Territory: gamma change impossible with fglrx 8.42.3-1

    After the last fglrx update I am unable to change my gamma in Enemy Territory. It just stays very dark. I heard that other people have the same problem (German ubuntu (:p) forums: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/130081/#1046848).
    Now I tried to downgrade but then the older fglrx are incompatible with the current xorg, that gave me some evil error messages. Do I have to downgrade xorg as well now, if I want a brighter ET or is there a workaround?

    I thin you could simply  open a console and type
    xgamma -gamma foo
    (where foo is a float; 1.0 is default, > 1.0 is brighter, < 1.0 is darker)

  • Lion killed my 2007 MacBook Pro

    Installed Lion successfully on my 2007 MacBook Pro. First run went OK. Tried restarting and won't boot. No Chime... nothing.
    SMC reset and PRAM reset don't do anything. Sleep light comes on for split second, optical disk engages momentarily, then all goes dead. Screen stays black. Attempted start without RAM seems to indicate logic board is working. Getting repeating tones. Flashing light when I press and hold power is the most I can get with the memory installed.
    Consider myself a pro user. Can anyone help, or should I just throw it away?

    Do you have your Snow Leopard discs handy? Try to start up from there and check the state of your Hard Drive with DiskUtility. Sounds like Lion may well have hurried p a predisposed issue with your Mac.

  • Mid 2007 macbook no chime dark screen.

    my mid 2007 macbook will not chime on startup and I am getting no picture.
    already tried resetting pram, SMC or whatever and removed and replaced the battery.
    Tried booting from a disk and got nothing, tried booting from my backup and got nothing. It's still getting power as the optical drive is spinning but otherwise I'm getting nothing (and my SL boot disc is in the optical drive.
    Any thoughts?

    This happened to my MacBook when the hard drive crashed. I did not get the usual question mark screen like you often get when the Hard drive crashes. I got a black screen and I could hear the fan whirr but nothing else. So Apple replaced it. There is a repair extension program for harddrives on macbooks http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/hd/repairextension/ So if this is your issue this may help.
