3dadd Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Anyone tried Alienware 51m 5750i ? I've search the posts and can't see where anyone has tried it yet. I've been working on it. The biggest challenge appears to be the VIA Raid controller. You can boot the Leo V3 DVD OK but can't see any internal drives. If you connect an external USB drive, you can install OK. but can't boot from the USB (I did check the boot order) . If you remove the internal raid drives and install the OS you installed on the USB pocket drive into the laptop , you can start to boot OK but reach a point where it stops and is waiting. I'm still working on it.

mkoo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I am using iPC on Acer Travelmate 5620. Everything working more than fine here except the webcam (orbicam) and wifi.. Otherwise full graphics QE, QGL and CI on my nvidia go 7300 using NVinstaller_v.52.pkg . I am a photographer so Aperture, LR and Photoshop cs2 working fine and fast.

d00m42 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 MSI Wind U100-432US, I've had mine for a month or so now and with a few small tweaks almost EVERYTHING works! Only remaining issues are: 1. Some models which ship with the .03 vs the .02 firmware webcam (Bisoncam) don't work in certain programs (ichat works i believe), although using a 3rd party add on program, "CamTwist" you can get Skype to work. 2. The built-in audio input (mic) and headphone jack don't work although the speaker sound works fine (using a small utility you can switch the output from speakers to headphone jack but then if you want to use speakers you have to switch it back) I believe those are the only two remaining problems. I am using Vanilla kernel with all of the latest updates. To get airport to work I swapped out the WiFi card, although the stock one DOES work, with a special utility (rather than airport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willdenow Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi all: I have a Toshiba A 305-S6852, which I purchased on sale during Xmas rush for $489 at OfficeMax (normaly $1099, although it has been superceded by new models and can probably be had cheep - especially since Circuit City is having big going out of business sale through March). Configuration: ACPI Compliant x64 PC Processor - Intel Core 2 (Conroe 65 nm) Duo T5750 running @2.0 GHZ - Recognized in "About this Mac" (unfortunately, although this chip has the EMT-64 tech, it does not include Intel VT virtualization technology, which will slow down somewhat the performance of VMs under Parallels or VMWare's Fusion) Display Adapter - Intel GMA X3100 - Supported out of Box (with occasional glitch in loading) includes S-Video and VGA external ports. VGA port works, don't know about S-Video. Chipset - Intel ICH8 Family, includes: Intel ICH8M Ultra ATA controller (for Optical Drive) - supported Intel ICH8M E/M SATA AHCI controller for Hard Disk - supported Ricoh 4in1 Memory Card Controller - supported (with modified kext) SDA compliant SD Card Host Controller - supported (with modified kext) Ricoh OCHI Compliant Firewire 1394A Controller (4 pin) , supported Ricoh Express Cardbus Controller - supported (with modified kext, but with occasional KP) Disk Drive - Fujitsu MNY2200BH - 200GB - recognized out of Box using unpatched kext Optical Drive - +/- DL DVD Burner Pioneer (ATA attached) - recognized out of Box using unpatched kext Imagining Device - Chicony USB 2.0 Webcam - supported in some apps, not in others Standard Qwerty PS2 (!) Keyboard - supported by unmodified kext Synaptics TouchPad - supported (with gestures!) by modified kext Toshiba WinModem - typical, crappy software modem incl in most Win Laptops - not supported Realtek 10/100 Base Fast Ethernet Controller - supported by Psystar modified kext (RealtekR1000.kext) Sound Realtek ALC268 HD Audio - supported (modified AppleHDAudio.kexc circulating under New ALC268 driver) HighSpeed USB Intel ICH8 Family USB Controller, includes: USB 1.0 (5 ports) USB 2.0 (4 ports) The lappy has a 15.4 inch screen with max res of 1280x800, down to 800x500. It has a nice pair of Harmon/Kardon speakers, which sound great if a little soft. It also has a series of touch sensitive buttons above the function keys. These do not function under OS X. All other ports (4xUSB, 1xFirewire400, 1xVGA, 1xCardbus, 1x4in1MediaCardReader, 1xHeadphone, 1xmic) work, including mute of H/K speakers when headphones/ear buds are plugged in. Display and video are very fluid with no apparent tearing or other artifacts. Resolution easily adjusted through System Preferences and the Display icon on the taskbar. Images are sharper and more intensely colored than in Windows Vista. Quartz and Core Image both enabled upon installation. Q2dE can be enabled using OSxTools included in most distros. The only negative is that occasionally, maybe once in ten to fifteen reboots, the video driver doesn't load properly. This doesn't appear to be related to the external monitor syndrome seen in many laptops with GMA 900/950/3000/3100. The external display shows the same image as the laptop lcd, either the desktop or a simple clear blue screen. I've tried all sorts of combos and still haven't figured out what causes it. Generally a reboot or two brings things back. This is still a mystery. Sound works great. If you use the stock ACL268 kext, you will get the sound routed to the headphone jack at first boot. This is easily switched back in the Sound Control Panel. If you install the so-called newALC268 included in the new XxX 10.5.6 distro, sound works from the get go. Wired networking is fully enabled after installing the Psystar kext for the Realktek RTL 8102E Fast Ethernet Controller. The extension is labelled RealtekR1000.kext. I got it from the XxX 10.5.6 distro, although you can probably download it from the Support/Downloads section of Psystar's website. My wireless card, Intel ProWireless WiFi 4965 a,g,n is a bit trickier. The iwi developers are working to code functional drivers for Intel's wireless offerings. So far, the 2000 and 2100 are working, but the 3965 and 4965 only partially so. The 4965 driver (http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/) loads, recognizes the card but that's it. There is an included applet for initializing the card and then selecting a network. It works sometimes, but mostly not. Also, even when working, you can only connect to unencrypted networks. There is no method for sending passwords to log onto unencrypted networks. My solution has been to buy and Atheros (or Broadcom) USB dongle for which there are fully working drivers. These are recognized as Airport or Airport Extreme cards and function fully as such. There are a few additional nice touches, such as an accessible hard disk (which I swapped out for a 500 GB Seagate drive), two RAM slots (DDR2800, both of which are maxed out with 2GB RAM sticks), and a slot for a second battery! And, for a PC laptop, the design is nice as well. Thus, for $500 and another 30 for a USB WiFi dongle, you can purchase of a laptop that rivals recent Macbooks. For example, my Toshiba registers a Geekbench score of 2856, which is comparable to the scores of recent Macbooks (2580-2750) and close to Macbook Pros (3100-3300). I'm very happy! A word on installation. I have had greatest success with the iDeneb3 (10.5.5) and the XxX 10.5.6 Leo distros. The graphics kexts loaded in the iDeneb are less touchy for some reason, so I use this as a base install and then install the AppleATA, ALC268new and RealtekR1000 kexts from the XxX distro for my final, fully functional system. This is a triple-boot system with a Vista partition and a second, small OS X partition (which I boot into for housekeeping/troubleshooting my main OS X partition). If anyone has this or a similar model, and needs help getting OS X up and running, drop me an e-mail and I'll be glad to help. Hope this helps those of you looking for a OS X compatible notebook.

j0ris Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I've been digging through this forum for a while now, and it seems there are no laptops that run OSX without any problems. Anyone got sleep to work properly? Sound and ethernet/wifi are also often problematic, but may work depending on the chipset. It seems the ATI mobility HD video series should be avoided. I'm considering the Samsung R510-FS08: Processor: Core 2 Duo processor T5800 (2,0 GHz, 800 MHz, 2 MB) Chipset: Intel PM45 + ICH9M Graphics: Mobile Intel 45 Express (internal) / nVIDIA NB9M-GE (external) (nVIDIA GeForce Go 9200M GS) Lan: Marvell Gigabit Ethernet Wlan: Atheros 802,11b/g Sound: ALC262-GR From what I gathered here it *seems* like all this could be made to work with OSX. Apart from sleep probably. Any thoughts? EDIT: after some more research, the Intel PM45 chipset is a question mark as Apple have switched to Nvidia MCP79. But at least someone got it to work: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Gateway M-6848 - The only thing you need to do is add kexts for the ethernet, which Realtek has actually released for OS X. You get QE/CI and audio without doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juragan Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 My definition of fully working means that graphics work perfectly with QE and CI, audio, touchpad, usb, and ethernet must work too. WIFI isn't as critical because anyone can replace their MiniPCI WIFI card with a cheap compatible replacement card. It seems to me that the ATI Radeon 9600 is the only truely working graphics chip. This is because the chip is used in genuine apples so it is fully supported. My friend has two hackintoshes, a macbook, and a powerbook. He wants a fully working hackintosh for under $400 and I think it can be done with some help from eBay and this scene. Here is my list of budget laptops which use the ATI Radeon 9600. My reasearch indicates that everything else should work on these too--confirmation needed.Gateway M505 M505X 7405GX 7422GX eMachines M6805 M6809 M6811 HP / Compaq NC6000 - commented on below Averatec 5500 (AV5500) 6100 (AV6000) IBM Thinkpad T60 Please post comments regarding the use of these laptops or just your thoughts.

BuXb Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 What amazes me over and over again that almost none of you guys ever indicate the screen size ... that's the first most important parameter - when considering buying a laptop one FIRST decides on the size, then come the other parameters ...

mardurhack Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Not for me. I don't care about screen-size...Infact I would have preferred a 13.3" or a Netbook (8.9/10) but they are not powerful enough (unless you can spend thousands of euros for a Sony Vaio...). So CPU, RAM and Wifi-Card are the most important hardware spec. Anyway mine is 15.4"...Like 90% of commercial laptops...

Ethernet:Realtek 8111/8168 Gigabit ethernet This works without support, but may fail. When it fails, you will need to install drivers to continue using it, dont know why. Sound:IDT High Def Audio. (Dual headphone jacks, inbuilt microphone, external mic jack) Needs drivers. Other Peripherals: SuYin 2.0MP webcam: No mods/patches needed with iPC 10.5.6 install.
