mydearpear Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Has anyone with this video card tried installing OS X? Can you get the native resolution on both the internal LCD and the VGA display? How about CI/QE, is it supported? Please reply with your success stories / failures so far. Lots to share. Thanks.

mydearpear Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I take it no one actually got it working with this card & laptop. Anyone have pointers to development documents for drivers etc?

P2iM-0 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I too have the Lenovo T60p. Just got it through school. Seems like there is literally no luck for getting the FireGL v5250 going with any res higher than 1400x1050. Also, looks like there is no hope for QE at all. I've literally scoured all the pipes in the interwebs to find out how to do get the 5250 working. BTW my device id is 0x71d4, same for you guys? Seems like the 0x71c4 has good compatibility (the v5200), just not the 5250. Keeping my fingers crossed for some new discoveries. Got a lot of friends at school that I got up and running on our old T43p's, hoping I can write a guide for the T60p to get OSX86 working there too. Good luck!

Elmo Man Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have that exact same machine the Lenovo T60P with the fireGL V5250 with the intel core duo @ 2.33ghz i installed osx 10.5.x onto it....i works perfectly extremely happy with the outcome, it runs as smoothly as a mac does, only downside to it at the moment is the standard network card inside the machine is completely supported for osx yet but improvements are being made everyday. if your using etherent cable then your fine, unfortunately i use wireless. but the driver is soon to be released. hope this helps, i love dual-booting vista ultimate and OS X. enjoy.

Can you give a brief decription of what you are running how you got it working? I have the exact machine you have but I am having no luck. After installin the files in the zip I get just a blue screen and a mouse.
