I succesfully installed iatkos 2i to a laptop with simular specs (different graphics card but still ati)

same processor, same chipset, same camera

 

well, the cam won't work, they're working on the graphics card, you can get a wireless driver on google code (iwidarwin)

internal speakers will work, headphone output won't

you need to install osx from an external dvd drive or you'll need a jmicron patch (check pirate bay)

 

good luck

Same here, I've got the Toshiba with ATI 200M and I got basic display properties working(1024x768) and OpenGL/Core Animation stuff.

 

I couldn't so far get any ATI drivers to work for running video and games, I can only watch FLV files at the moment(youtube).

 

The Audio jack Line-in and possible Line-out both do not work, but the internal speakers do. That audio driver was default with the Kalyway 10.5.2 disk.

 

I've been up all night working on this, finally got a disk that worked at least to install it. The wireless and wired both worked right off the bat... very amazed by that, but this audio jack and video problem needs to go away, I'll keep posted if I get it working.

 

Thanks.
