huong23 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I've managed to install OSX86 successfully on a 2nd partition of my Dell Inspiron 8600 (1.5Ghz Pentium-M, 512MB DDR, NVIDIA GFX5200 Go 32MB DDR, 30GB HD, Dlink DWL-650 wireless B card). The basic functions work (firewire, built in ethernet, sound, built in keyboard/mouse), but some functions don't work, so can you guys help me work out some issues: 1). The resolution is stuck at 1024x768 ... setting Graphics Mode to 1280x800 (native for the LCD) at the boot prompt doesn't work. How do I fix this and is there a NVIDIA driver that I can try? 2). Since the laptop didn't come w/ a built in wireless adapter, I bought a Dlink DWL-650 wireless B card a while back. It does not work under OSX. Can I buy a Dell MiniPCI WLAN 1350/1450 card and insert it into my Inspiron 8600 to get wireless under OSx86? 3). I've applied MAXXUSS's 0.4 patch ... is there any other patch that I can install to speed things up (especially hard disk access)? Thanks.
