Roger117 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hey guys! I'm excited I finally got OS X installed on my PC, but with a couple or important things to work on. Firstly, I'll start of with my existing problems. 1. I can't get my laptop keyboard and touchpad working. I clearly remember checking the "Laptop Support" box at the install screen, that included PS/2 fixes, though it still doesn't work. I have read about the P2/S fixes on the forums here. I am keen to try those kexts. 2. Resolution. My native resolution on my laptop is 1280x800. I have a feeling it is my ATi graphic chip, so I'm still working on finding a fix for that. My current laptop setup is: Manufacturer: Acer Model: Extensa 5620G CPU: Intel Core2Duo 2.1Ghz RAM: 4GB DDR2 RAM HDD: 250GB SATA HDD (Currently, 110GB Windows 7 Partition, 92GB NFTS HDD for storage, 20GB Mac OS X Partition) GPU: ATi Mobility Radeon HD 2400XT 256mb My bootloader is Chameleon RC4. If you guys have any suggestions to fix my two issues, that would be hugely appreciated! If requested, I'll post my steps to make the installation work. Thanks guys!

Roger117 The graphics card is not supported in Snow Leopard (no QE/CI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger117 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Then would it be supported in Leopard 10.5 or not at all? Secondly, is there a way to manually change the resolution? Also, do you know of a fix for the laptop keyboard/touchpad? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install it with kexthelper and then repair permissions with kext utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
