hillbilly moon Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I finally got Leopard installed on my Dell D410 subnotebook, after several tries. Hope the following can help others. I couldn't get the iPC Universal Final iso to boot (burned iso in Disk Utility on iMac Intel with 10.5.8), so I used iDeneb 1.5.1 10.5.7. No problems burning the iDeneb iso and it booted up fine from external optical drive. The D410 has Intel GMA900 graphics, a 1.6Ghz Pentium M processor, Dell 1390 (Broadcom chip) wifi card, 2GB of DDR2 PC533 667 RAM, IDE 2.5" hard disk, no built in DVD. The install options I chose in the end work great. Graphics are fast and fluid, sound is perfect, trackpad and all keyboard buttons work properly. I have a Trackpad window in System Preferences and everything can be set and works fine: except 2-fingered scrolling - the option is there, but I haven't got it working. There is also a VoodooPS2 pref pane, which offers the same (and more) options. Anyway, my customized install was: Video: GMA900 Wireless: Broadcom Processor: ICHx Fixed (Note: this was the key to a faster system - other people had had success with Apple Generic PCATA, but this made my system as slow as molasses) Audio: Generic AC97 Kernel: 9.5.0 Voodoo Extras/Fixes: Seatbelt Voodoo Battery Manager Voodoo PS2 Trackpad I did an unattended install. Started the install, went out for about 45 minutes, and when I came back the computer had rebooted into the Leopard configuration screen. Currently working just great. Everything just works. I will be trying the battery out today or tomorrow - it's listed in System Profiler with correct specs and full charge capacity. As mentioned, the keyboard buttons work: volume, brightness, end/home, etc.; obviously these are the Dell keyboard buttons. I'm used to using a PC keyboard on my Intel iMac so I don't have any problems using the Windows modifier keys for the Mac ones. Sleep seems to work okay, and waking the Dell from sleep is the same as under Windows XP, i.e., pressing the Power button. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/244603-dell-latitude-d410-perfect-leopard-install-with-ideneb-1057/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike86ttype Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 how is sleep and restart. Mine goes to sleep and does not wake up and when you restart it just hangs on a blue screen.
