Post installation questions

Hey,

 

I managed to install iPC OSX86 10.5.6 on my Dell Latitude x300 laptop and I'm quite happy with what I have so far (wireless - WPA included, bluetooth, sound, etc). The specs are: Pentium M 1.4Ghz, 640GB Ram, 80GB HDD (more: www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/latit/x300_spec.pdf).

 

Things I selected during the installation (It might be relevant or even helpful to those googleing 'dell x300 osx86 laptop'):

Voodo Kernel 9.5

Video: GMA900

Chipset: LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA

Ethernet: AppleBC5751Ethernet (read below for a kext that works with -x boot flag)

Wireless: Intel 2200

Audio: AC97

Patches: PS/2 Mouse Fix, ACPI Fix, IOPCIFamily.kext patched, Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5

 

I was wondering if there's a 'repository' of .kext or what would be the steps required to -try- to get my laptop to 'sleep' (google what term, look where, etc.)?

 

I currently change the brightness in the bios, is there any way to change it within the OS?

 

I didn't select 'power management' at installation time, can I enable it now or do I have to re-install? (I did select all the applications except 'Marvin's AMD Utility', one of them could help me, right?)

 

Is there anyway to -try- to enable 'scrolling' support in my touchpad? (nothing fancy, it would be nice not to have to move the mouse all the way to the right or use the up/down keys)

 

Ethernet works under 'safe mode'(?) (-x at startup) with this:

But I get no sound if I boot with the -x flag, it might be conflicting with the 'AppleBC5751Ethernet' I selected at installation-time? What would be the necessary steps required to -try- and fix this?

 

I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time, I'm just asking to 'get pointed in the right direction' (links, search terms, software, facts about what I can/can't do), not for tutorials or anything time-consuming.

 

Thanks!
