sidliu Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 With the helps of users from this forum, I managed to install Snow Leopard to Acer Aspire 1420p and dual boot Windows 7. What does not works: * Though native video resolution works via bootloader configuration, QE/CI doesn't work. As a result, many programs that require QE/CI functions don't work, such as Screen Capture. * Intel Wifi 1000. No resolution at the moment. Bought a Dell 1500 half height wifi card that has native Airport bcm43xx support out-of-the-box. * Sleep does not work. To be accurate, sleep does work but it can't wake up the display. The workaround is not to sleep at all * Touch screen * 3G - Haven't tried. I use Wifi tethering to my phone. What works: * 32-bit native video resolution 1366x768 * Built-in webcam * Built-in Atheros network card * Wifi Dell 1505 wifi BCM43xx out of the box * Bluetooth * Audio * Video - Youtub, Flash, QuickTime 7 * Keyboard and mouse * Battery indicator * Mult-card reader I have documented the steps and it's quite long.
