Mac OSX Leopard on a T61
Mac OSX Leopard on a T61
Hi,
A friend of mine recently purchased a macbook and I have spent some time playing with it.
I found that Leopard does some interesting things that I wouldn't mind being able to utilize.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of putting Mac OSX Leopard on a T61?
I know it can be put on a PC but can you run it dually with windows?
Are there any major dirver issues?
I look forward to any input.
Thanks,

Yes, It can be done fairly easily given you have the right hardware.
Wireless - Thinkpad a/b/g works fine, Atheros works from what I've read
LAN - Haven't looked into it much, but I'm pretty sure there aren't drivers available yet.
Video - gma x3100 is fully supported, and there are also some nvidia drivers floating around
Sound - recently "fixed". If you look in the forum around where this post is you'll see that there is a solution, but it is not perfected yet.
Sleep/wake - this might work for you, and it might not. I haven't tried leo4all or iatkos, but it does not work on my kalyway. It's not that big of a deal, because it only takes about 30 seconds for my computer to boot. Good luck!
p.s. there are a ton of dualbooting guides on the insanelymac website.

Ah, No problem. I guess there is hope for the LAN drivers. The guy that fixed the sound T U R B O. Has a blog where he said he's getting close to fixing it. (http://0xfeedbeef.com/osx86/) If you have any problems feel free to ask me. It's well worth the plunge. Just make sure you get time machine working or some form of back ups.

i swear, there is like no guide on installing osx leopard on a T61.
(post drivers and stuff)
if only i knew how, i'd write a guide myself.
i can get to about the 3rd screen using Kalyway 10.5.2 and it just keeps restarting itself.
