I just got a a Sony Vaio FW series notebook with the following specs:

Intel® Core 2™ Duo Processor P8600 (2.4GHz)

ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470 with 256MB vRAM

LCD 16.4" (XBRITE-HiColor™)

WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n) with integrated Bluetooth® technology

 

I have already installed Leopard (Kalyway 10.5.2), and I know that there are not that many video cards that are working under Leopard. Since I'm new to this forum, I am not sure if mine is supported. Also, the ethernet card and wifi are still not working.

 

Can anyone give me some insights?

 

Thank you!

I have a FW21E with Ati 3470 graphics card. I installed 10.5.2 version without any problems. But after the installation, in the welcome screen, I saw the mac apple picture and then screen freezes. I could not make the setup through the voice commands. someone here said to change the resolution but I could not do that as well through the voice commands. Sould I try a newer version, or wait for the proper release with proper drivers?

 

Or if there is a solution, could someone pls help me to sort it out :(

up~

 

I'm waiting for this driver, too. Is there any simularity between the Trial 2 of HD3650M and the driver for HD3470M? If it's yes I think we are approaching to the goal.

Up. Some news? Is it possible to install Kalyway on a laptop including a 3470 GPU using a low resolution or you only get a blue screen post the apple logo?

 

 

Thx,

 

you can install leopard with iDeneb 10.5.6, and you'll never get blue screen :) I have a sony fw11l :)
