boboy2u Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Do you think my machine can run Leopard or even Tiger with these specs: Processor: Intel Core2 CPU @ 1.83 GHz (x2) Graphics: NIVIDA Quadro NVS 110M Network: Dell Wireless WLAN 1390 Mini-Card Sound: SIGMATEL 9200 Storage: SATA Device Anything else you think I should include with specs?

jrp Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 good question. i patched my leopard cd with the brazilmac patch and it booted surprisingly perfectly into the installer. i installed leopard no problem but when i restarted i just got a blinking marker in the upper left. the patch seems a little buggy still so i'm waiting for an update, hopefully tonight....

boboy2u Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Oh ok. So I think it could boot good into Tiger for now. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67610-dell-latitude-d620-can-install/#findComment-486851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboy2u Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Another question. Where can i find drivers for sigmatel? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67610-dell-latitude-d620-can-install/#findComment-499006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikeh Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Use the search function. For hardware compatibility you need to check your chipset on the HCL which is on the Wiki.

jrp Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 leopard is working, the graphics are a little choppy for some reason. i have the dell wireless 1490 card and it can view wireless networks but for some reason it doesn't connect to any network? anyone with a dell wireless card have the same problem? sound doesn't work either, but i just downloaded the hda patcher for leopard so i'll see if that works out. looking forward to getting it working smoothly!

linux4guru Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I got Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1 working on my D620 with GForce.mkpg video driver. What I haven't got it to work yet are internal LAN and sound.

kansei-sensei Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 You got past the welcome wizard into the real OS though? Let me guess, Dell wireless card? Those of us who got the Intel 3945 are out of luck it seems. Also did you have to disable the second core?

boboy2u Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I did automatically but you should try with 2 cores. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67610-dell-latitude-d620-can-install/#findComment-602022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexD. Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The trick is you should not install nVidia drivers during setup. Complete setup. Then, after reboot type "-v CPUS=1" w/o quotes at startup prompt, edit boot options (add same lines to your startup script) or disable one core in BIOS and only then install nVidia drivers.

kansei-sensei Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 interesting. I did install nvidia drivers during setup since one of them mentioned support for the geforce 7300 (not that the quadro 110m is exactly the same but it's close enough). I did the install with dual core, but then when I got the sluggish performance issue at first boot, I went to single core and it worked ok. Then to get past the looking welcome menu I transferred user profile and network settings from another mac (a working hackintosh install on an sse2 thinkpad t42) and now it is working great, great performance (though core solo) and all the graphical effects. Proper screen resolution and everything. Now I just need to begin the process of getting the broadcom gigabit card working, then I'll probably buy the dell wireless card to replace the intel 3945.

5tryk3r Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I got Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1 working on my D620 with GForce.mkpg video driver. What I haven't got it to work yet are internal LAN and sound. Are you still having issues with your sound. I have got it working on my d620 now and will give you a hand if you need it. As for the internal lan and intel wireless i have had no luck yet.
