Dell Xps 1530

[willa]

My journey begins with a Kalyway 10.5.2 CD

I installed this on my Dell Xps 1530 using the Vanilla kernal. Most worked out of the box.

Things that did not work, Wireless, touchpad scrolling, 8600 GT, Lan, Fingerprint reader, sound, firewire.

Things that i got working, wireless, touchpad scrolling, 8600 GT, sound.

There is no lan kext that i know of and fingerprint reading was not a priority.

This all i got working from a Dellpost package installer, except for sound.

To get sound working i used osx86 tools package ton install kexts and a patched HDA i got from macgirls thread. Dont forget to delete appleazalia.

 

I then updated to 10.5.6. Had to initially boot under -v or it just loaded for a bit then restarted. once under -v i installed all my kexts from the package over again and redid HDA. this time though i needed a USB keyboard and mouse since the onboard ones werent working. for this i needed a PS/2 patch that is labeled keyboard but actually does keyboard and track pad.

Now after 10.5.6 sound is iffy i can get it through the middle headphone port but that is it.

But all things conisdered this is working up to what i need it to be

Final tally of working items

Sound*keyboard, mouse, screen, camera, media keys, 8600, wifi, usb, bluetooth

NOT working LAN firewire

 

The package and HDA kext can be found from macgirls threads and the PS/2 can be found from google, if you cant find it i can try to get it to upload im having difficulties at the moment
