I'd also be VERY interested in a working driver for my ATI mobility 9600-9700.

I've been searching around, tried various drivers, crashed my system a couple of times, but video card is not yet recognized

What I don't understand is that ATIRadeon9700.kext Info.plist DOES contain 0x4E501002 under IOKitPersonalities:




0x4E441002 0x41441002 0x4E481002 0x41481002 0x41501002 0x4E501002 0x41521002 0x4E541002 0x4A481002 0x4A491002 0x4A4A1002 0x4A4B1002 0x4A4C1002 0x4A4D1002 0x4A4E1002 0x5B601002 0x5B621002 0x3E501002 0x4E561002 0x5B641002 0x3E541002


FYI, my system is a Dell Inspiron 9100 (sold in the US under the XPS line).

Found a way to get my network (broadcom 440x) working.
No sound, wireless, ... yet.

But most important (after network) is to get my video card properly recognized.

TIA for your help

updating system is not hard though using some terminal commands that will remove certain kext files that will cause the behaviour you got

can anyone elaborate on this? i would really like to get osx back up and running, such a nice os. i was just getting comfortable with it.

Hi,

Fellow toshiba A205-S5804 user here and I have to say thank you for your tutorial, I WORKS!!, I am so happy, I got so sick of re installing vista from the toshiba restore cds, and it would constantly reinstall all the same garbage programs that came with it. I am glad to see I was able to get leopard working with my toshiba with your help with this tutorial.

I have the a205 s5859 so it's the same series and the tutorial was very helpful, but there were a few issues that I couldn't get though. The wifi kex had a different name from what was written in this tutorial and I couldn't find the number to replace and get it to work even after the combo update. The other issue though was the same as the other poster. I tried to do the software update and basically It doesn't work at all anymore. I don't know. It took several attempts and many hours. I almost feel like it's too much work for the end result, until better compatibility is available.

no, OS NEEDS to be the primary partition on the disk. What you can do is delete all partitions off the disk and create 2 new ones, the first being for OSX, the second being for windows.

You can use a recovery disk or use a windows dvd to re-install it if you choose, but you're much better off using a seperate hard drive to play around with osx86, just in case something happens.

Don't expect to get it installed the first time either. You'll probably have to install it a dozen or so times before you figure out what your computer needs and doesn't need

hey,
i've got a toshiba satellite A205-S5843

Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73GHz
2gb RAM
video card: mobile intel 965 express chipset family
audio card: Realtek High Definition Audio
WiFi card: Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter

is there anything extra that i need or can i follow your instructions normally?

also, if it doesnt work how easy is it to revert back to vista?

Hi, thanks for the guide, was very clear and usefull... now I have problems with the update to 10.5.4 as you described - the kext of the ACPI is crashing, system saying, that is just one driver ... how could i repair the system or should I install the system from the beginning without the ACPI kext ? Thanks for help

[vvware]

i've notice to see that there is a new update for 10.5.6... what will happen if i update?

[crankless]

i've followed the instructions and thanks! i got the os installed, but when i try to install the realtek drivers it keeps asking for the apple disk, even if the disk is in the drive....anyone got any idea about this?
