Side note: The same comment says to use the same Dell Laptop Post Installer version (1.3.1) to install sound drivers and not to try it on Mac OS X 10.5.6: I used a different install method for the sound (implying unix codec dump and AppleHDA.kext) and it works fine on 10.5.6. I'll quickly post the whole, clean, procedure. Download and install the LeopardGraphicsUpdate 1.0 and install it with Pacifist. You will get a black screen with a visible arrow…DONT WORRY. Everything works except sound, you will get a native video of 1024×768…dont worry! Download the dellpackages USE ONLY THE V1.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Install the X1300 ONLY!!!!! follow instructions and REBOOT. delete all 5 GMAX files with the command: rm -rf (GMAX FILES). Load up terminal then type: cd /Volumes/(hdd name)/Systems/Library/Extentensions, hit enter. When completed installation DO NOT RESTART. For keypad & keyboard to work, install the X86 ACPI packeges. Install leopard on your lappy and select your packages.

The only problem is that my screen is black :-/ It looks like my video card is going fine (good resolution and both Core Image and Quartz Extreme). I searched a lot before posting but I'm running out of ideas. (I guess Quartz Extreme is disabled in safe-mode?) The following screenshot (taken via VNC in Safe-mode boot) shows that my integrated video card seems to be recognized: VNC is working fine (I have to connect once, type user credentials at safe-mode-logon-window, validate to get disconnected from VNC, and then reconnect to VNC to see my working desktop) I can connects to VNC (Leopard desktop sharing) but it stays black and then closes.Įxternal screen: standby (no display) -> the plain light-blue screen -> extended desktop (I see "Aurora" default wallpaper) Main (internal) screen: the grey loading apple -> the plain light-blue screen -> the screen goes off (no display)Įxternal screen: standby (no display) -> on but black -> on but black Then I tried "GMA X3100" video drivers (also from Dell Laptop Post Installer 1.4.1) and since: So I tryed installing " Dell Laptop Post Installer 1.4.1" (from sonotone) "GMA 650" video drivers but it didn't changed anything (still 1024x768 and no acceleration). /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kextīut as it was only 1024x768 (my screen native resolution is 1280x800) without Quartz Extreme./System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMA*.The problem I have is to get the integrated Intel 965 video chipset working.Īfter Installing iPC 10.5.6 ("iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal PPF5 (Final).iso", md5: 9ceb2e8daaa182a1071a337ad9b81e3f) I had to remove (in "-s" boot mode): I've been trying to get Mac OS X 10.5.6 working on my Dell Vostro 1500 laptop for a few days now.
