In reply to pablo. That's a tough question. I haven't touched this in a looong time so I'm not sure how to help you. From what I remember, it heavily depends on what video card you use. Hopefully you can find a post out there that talks about your specific video card. Otherwise, you may find yourself trying to figure it out for hours. Sorry I'm not much help.

That’s good news!

Restart/shutdown never worked on mine because of the nVidia card.

thanks for the update. i finally figured out how to get the laptop working using iATKOS S3 v2. then i had to edit the dsdt.aml to get the display working along w/ restart/shutdown… only thing not working on the laptop is sleep. even managed to update to 10.6.4.

I got the X3100 version of this card, so you either need to do the sleep corner trick to see the screen after installing OSX. or you can go into the Extensions folder and backup delete all AppleIntelGMA* files (then delete the Extensions.mkext). This will boot your machine up with no QE/CI. From there… google for “Screen Sleeper Solution” and install it.

Put back the Delete AppleIntelGMA* kext and you should get everything working.

As using myhack installer to work with this machine. Leave everything the way it is (myhack 1.1) except for the ElliotForceLeagcy***** kext. Att the IOATA*** kext. Remember to click the PS2 kext so that your laptop keyboard and touchpad works…

I’m just writing this of the top of my head so, I don’t remember the exact names for the kexts.
