Has anyone got this working on MBR? Or can anyone confirm that GPT is a requirement for this to work or could i install it onto an external GPT drive, then clone it over my leopard install which is using MBR?

Re: T60 wireless card *edited*(please help)

sorry there is no solution for this wireless card, either get a supported usb one or get a supported lenovo internal one and swap it out. they are about $40 on ebay, that's what i did.

Re: Future thinkpad work.

i have an x1300 T60, and overall it's ok, i would avoid the 1680x1050 screens (which is what i have) because that max it will do is 1440x1050 with this video card. I've tried everything but it won't work, the V5250 is a little more compatible at the higher resolutions. the GMA950 will save you the m...

Re: R60 in need of Wireless

hi, i had the same problem as you, you can buy a compatible USB wireless adaptor like the ASUS one ($25) OR you can buy an atheros based mini-pci wireless card and swap out the one you have, this is what i did, i think it was about $30 from ebay.

Re: OSX on thinkpad better on Widescreen than Non-Widescreen

Just curious if it matters for OSX-on-thinkpad if your screen is Wide or Not? Any benefit having one or the other when running OSX? there's also the issue of which video card, for example the x1300 does not work at 1680x1050, but does work at 1440x1050... so it's the combination of resolution and g...

on the clock, simple question, have you reset the time in the bios? and made sure in both vista and leopard the time is set to sync to network?

I have a T60-8743 and sound (out, not tested in) worked fine with the Azalia packages.

i'm using Kalyway and you can't run the system update from apple. you need to download a massaged 10.5.2 combo update file, you can find it at the normal places.

i upgraded to 10.5.2 and ran the leopard graphics update (from apple) fine.

With the restrictred drivers i would not have that res at the start, but all i had to do was edit the Xorg.conf file and add the 1680x1050 as an available resolution and restart X, then it would b...
