funkmasta Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has done it. Haven't seen much in the way of news or guides for this SSE2 machine.

ZeeJM Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm running Leopard on my Inspiron 8600. I used the Kalyway 10.5.1 build. I make it a habit to install as clean of a build off of the install DVD as is possible, adding graphics (nvidia GeForce FX GO5200 via natit), sound, etc, after the fact. No power management, and I haven't tried to install the ALPS touchpad support as of yet, but all the essentials work just fine (graphics, ethernet, WiFi, audio, DVD).

funkmasta Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Reading around, it seems that it may not work for me because of my ATI 9600 graphics card. A shame... but how is speed for you?

Hey man, I was wandering exactly what options you selected on the install to get it running on your 8600. Are you using Vanilla also? i also noticed that you posted a few days ago. have you gotten anything else working. Good to hear that yours works; I hope I can have the same luck. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80291-leopard-on-inspiron-8600/#findComment-581501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
