Potbelly Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Here's my hardware: Dell Inspiron 1525 Intel GMA X3100 Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x2a02 Revision ID: 0x0000c Dell 1395 Wifi - Working Marvell 88e8040 Ethernet - Not working Synaptic Touchpad - Working, even have two finger scroll Card Reader - Not working I've got Kalyway 10.5.2 installed with vanilla kernel. I'm using the Leopard Update drivers and a custom Natit I got from one of the many threads I've been going blind looking thru. I've got full CI/QE but only if I use SwitchResX at 1680X1000@63Hz My native resolution is actually 1680X1050, so it's not all the way there. Also, with this config, even tho I have full QE/CI under my dock I have some garbled image and then another mac menu bar. What I'm wondering is if anyone else has the same model Dell as me with the same device ID and revision ID as me. And if so, what you did to get rid of the extra mac menu and garbled image stuff below the dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I have exactly the same laptop with the same revision. I install iDeneb 10.5.4 with vanilla kernel. Graphics driver from stock except of AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext. It must be version 1.5.18 to work. There are some other threads in forum about the solution. My graphics is perfect. But. My native resolution is 1440x900. I check it under Windows. SD reader never works because is it PCIe. MacOSX has no such driver. Only for USB reader. Marvell 88E8040 doesn't work at the moment. As a programmer I am trying to create a new driver. How can you get Touchpad working with SCROLL? I have no find appropriate driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potbelly Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Two finger scroll: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88811 I'll try the Deneb disc tonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potbelly Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Well I tried the ideneb disc, got 10.5.4 and 10.5.5, both didn't work. Same issue as before, blue/black screen. If I delete the GMAX3100 kexts then VESA works, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potbelly Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm still stuck where I was two months ago. I am using 1.5.18, at least, I think so. When I open the Info.plist in text edit, it says AppleIntelGMAX3100FB 1.5.18.7 Is that the same thing, or does that .7 at the end mean that it's a different version?

Not to bring this back from the dead, but just incase you didn't hear about it, the SD reader now works using the Dell post installer. It works great on the Inspiron 1525. All praise the dell post installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
