Leopard on Centrino 2 platform with GeForce 9300m GS

[Woutje]

I've just got a brand new notebook based on the new Centrino 2 platform from Intel (aka Montevina).

 

Here are the specs:

 

Intel Core 2 Extreme P9500 (2,53GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6Mb cache)

Intel PM45 chipset + ICH9M

nVidia GeForce 9300m GT with 256MB GDDR3

4GB DDR2 800MHz memory

320GB SATA 2 hard drive

Intel WiFi Link 5300 450Mbit WLAN (802.11 a/b/g/n, which I know will not work)

 

Would this work with Leopard? If it does, it would be an incredibly fast notebook

 

I'm trying anyway and i'll let you know asap.

Succes!!! well... kinda..

 

 

I've installed Leo4All v3 with no problems, and I updated to 10.5.3 and then to 10.5.4.

 

Chipset, LAN (Gigabit, Realtek), Webcam, USB, Keyb & Mouse worked OOTB..

 

Also the Intel High Definition Audio shows up in the System Profiler, but I have no sound.. didn't test this yet, but I think I need the correct codec kexts.

 

And then there's the video.. it doesn't work.. I've tried all sorts of things, EFI string, NVInject, Natit And I know I have filled in the correct Device ID (0x06e910de) but my LCD turns off when Leopard boots.. it starts.. but no screen, no backlight even..

 

Idea anyone??
