OSX 10.5.1 on DELL D410

[djCecco]

Hi,

 

I installed 10.5.1 on a modified Dell D410 1.73 GHz Intel Centrino:

- I changed Intel Wireless 2200 with a Broadcom 1430 (about 18 Euro on E-bay from UK)

- I changed memory Module with 2x 1GB 667 MHz (2x 512MB 533 MHz made some trouble)

- I patched my external VGA connector in order to make sensor OK for dual-video and for booting

- I put on it a 64 GB SSD ATA buyed on E-bay (about 250 Euro from Hong Kong)

 

After installation without any problem, I see bluetooth, I sync my Nokia Communicator E90, my iPod 160GB, I can use TimeCapsule and Remote TV module ...

I have a problem with ACPI managing ...

 

OSX doesn't see this is a laptop at all :-(((

I can't see Battery or Performance TAB in Energy Saver Panel :-(((

 

I try to look on forums and to Goggl'd it, but no way ... no hints

I can't find any kind of .kext to change, to use, to delete, to modify :-(((

 

Another little problem is that iCal doesn't start, it tries to start, but it dies,

but I'm working around it in these days.

I'm going to buy a real Mac, but now I can try if I can use for my job,

where I used to see only MS Winzoz :-)

 

Regards,
