I'm new to the OSx86 scene. Many of my college classes for my major require that I have a MacBook (Pro), but I already have a great laptop and I don't want to spend the money on a MacBook nor do I want to sell my current laptop. After doing some research, I found myself here and I've successfully used David Elliot's Boot 132 disk to install my officially bought (with a student discount) Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 disk. I understand the concept of emulating the firmware to get the OS running, but now I've reached a dead end. Drivers.
None of my hardware works, quite obviously (aside from the hard drives, motherboard, and possibly RAM), and I was wondering if anyone could help me use OS X with maximum performance. I've tried some "How to" kext installation tutorials for various hardware, but almost all have wound up in disaster and none have succeeded. Here are my specs, which I got from Dxdiag: Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA System Model: Satellite X205 BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBL Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz (2CPUs), ~2.0GHz Memory: 2046MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 10 Display Name: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (I have dual graphics cards) Approx. Total Memory: 1013 Display Driver: nvd3dum.dll, nvwgf2um.dll Sound 1 Name: Speakers (2-Realtek High Definition Audio) Sound 2 Name: Realtek Digital Output (2-Realtek High Definition Sound 3 Name: Realtek HDMI Output (Realtek High Definition As for other hardware from the Device Manager: DVD/CD-ROM drives - TOSHIBA DVDW/HD SD-L802B ATA Device Imaging devices - Chicony USB 2.0 Camera Mice and other pointing devices - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad Network adapters - Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN I'd mostly like to get my sound, graphics card, wireless internet, and touchpad working again. Other than that, I'd like to get as much up and working as possible. Thanks in advance! |
