Vaio VGN-TX770P/B -- will i have problems with osx86?

first off, let me say what an AMAZING community this has turned out to be!

 

now that were done with the :whistle: , i'd like to ask a question:

 

my client wants mac os x on a sony vaio TX notebook (a VGN-TX770P/B to be exact)

it can be seen here:

before he goes and drops $2600 + tax on one, i'd like to ask if there will be any major problems installing a 10.4.6 install JaS dvd (prepatched, its a 10.4.6 install 4.xx gig image from the umentionable :D site everyone uses)

 

will the wireless built into the vaio work is probably the most important question, as well as will it take the vaio's strange screen resolution? will there be any massive driver conflicts? is osx86 super unstable?

 

thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

 

I have osx86 running on my vaio tgn T250p.

 

Problems i had/have:

 

doesn't recognize keyboard - but usb keyboard works

doesn't recognize touchpad - but usb mouse works

screen resolution - slightly smaller than it could be, but i havent tried anything yet to change it...

b0 error - set partition to "active" with help of a msdos boot CD-Rom - solved

no support for built-in INTEL 2200 BG wireless card - again, USB could probably work...

no sound - ?

 

 

For the rest no big problems during installation. I chose the ss2 and the 10.4.6 update pack when installing.

 

osx86 up and running. Internet through ethernet, disc drive working...

 

 

Nico.
