i know that most stuff works on a T60
but that doesnt help me since i have a T61.

a/b/g atheros for wireless
and a 140M Quadro for video card
stock sound card
stock ethernet card


if you have any of these working on your T61

please post the 3rd party drivers used, kexts, or whatever guide.
none of them work for me out of the box.


thanks

On 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 or 10.5.3

a/b/g atheros for wireless
- yes, just need to add device id in IO80....kext

and a 140M Quadro for video card
- just resolution can be changed in com.apple.Boot, iniect methods don't work so no QE/CI

stock sound card
- ADI 1984 not yet, waiting for taruga's v2.0 patch

stock ethernet card
- no

I'm stuck with this Lenovo T61. I've attempted to load OSX on it with Leo4All. I was able to get the OS to load, but most peripherals don't work. I've heard that others have been able to load OSX on T61's. My problem is that my T61 has the Intel through and through.

Video Intel GMA X3100 - works (correct resolution, didn't try external monitor)
Audio AD1984HD - doesn't work, none of the supplied drivers worked
Wifi Intel PRO/Wireles 3945ABG - doesn't show up at all
LAN Intel - doesn't show up at all
PC Card - I was able to get the PC card slots to work and used a LAN card to get Internet. I do not have a compatible wifi PC Card.

I used kalyway 10.5.2 on my T61. Got the sound to work thru internal speakers..had to buy a ibm a/b/g wireless card with Atheros chip to get wireless working. I have been able to get video working with CI/QE but slow openGL scores.

Saw on some other threads it looks like folks are getting the ethernet to maybe work. My problem is i haven't been able to apply any updates or my system craps out.
