I have 10.4.5 working on a Dell Latitude x300. The wireless works after the initial installation, but it is only picked up as the built in ethernet card. After reboot you can change the networkinterfaces.plist as found here on the forum and it correctly recognizes it now. I'm posting this from Safari!

 

Now to the problems, I think it's running in safe mode. When I boot I get the rapid scrolling text whereas with the other versions I've ran it just gave the grey Apple screen while booting. Also the sound is terribly sluggish and lags behind whatever event it is accompanying. My other problem is the same as I've posted before. It's only seeing my CPU at the lower of it's rated speeds (stupid Speedstep), so instead of running @ 1.2gHz it's only running at 600mHz.

 

Any help resolving either of these problems would be greatly appreciated!

 

*EDIT* CPU is now running at full speed. After more digging through old posts, someone mentioned that disabling Speedstep in the BIOS on some Dells actually locks it into the lower speed. Turns out this is the case on the Latitude x300 with BIOS revision A08. Went in and reenabled it and booted right up @ 1.2gHz. As expected, this fixed the sound as well. Still getting the booting sequence with the rapid text, but I can live with that if no one has any ideas!

This is in the bootlist file...the same place where you can add a graphics mode...just change it so it's not -v

Beautiful!! Thanks alot.

 

Now if I could only get QE and Core Image to work...

 

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the graphics chipset in this machine won't work.
