Where can I get the driver for the graphics card?

I'll do some research on that, what kext do you have installed?

Hello! I saw this thread was being specifically tailored to Toshiba laptops, so I decided to post my questions here. I had a nearly flawless install on my L305-S5899 and I got Mac OS X booted up with mouse, keyboard, and sound. These are all possible under only one condition: I only have one core enabled. If I boot with both cores running (my processor is a Pentium Dual Core T3200) it boots into the OS beautifully and speedy, but my keyboard and mouse don't function at all. I can still control the sound with the volume dial on the front of the laptop to increase and decrease volume easily, and when I do that the volume click/pop sound still works. If I push the power button, it brings up the sleep/shutdown box and hangs up, making the sound effect it makes when it pops up spazz out and repeat itself eternally, so I'm forced to shut it down by holding down the power. Is there any fix for that? I really hope so...
Also, I'd like to know if you found out more about that display kext for the 4500M chipsets that are used in the L305-XXXXX series notebooks because to get the display displaying the correct resolution would be wonderful! I've looked for days, and only found safe mode mods, and that's not good for general use. Thank you! I will do anything I can on my part to help if possible.

Well I used the SnowOSX Univeral 3.5 ISO, to install, It sounds like when you enable the second core it changes the setting to 64-bit, so all you need to do is change it to 32-bit to get you ps2.kext working again as it should as if it were only in one core again, or find a 64-bit PS2.kext, As for the display kexts, I have them for the x4500 so PM me if you want them, they support Quartz Extreme and OpenGL.

I found the gfx kext I needed to make it work, and it works wonderfully! Thank you letting me know it existed!
The problems I have now are the cores and the wifi (atheros). I've tried all sorts of combinations in my bios to try to make it boot without a hitch, but I still have problems booting with both cores. I plugged in my wacom tablet, and it immediately worked with both cores enabled. But whenever I'd click something on the finder (or anything in general), the menu's would scroll and go nuts unless I held the mouse click down. If I clicked the search entry, it would start adding a single letter (sometimes it's k, sometimes an arrow key) as if I were holding down a letter key on my keyboard (the keyboard isn't even responding, as my caps lock indicator and other lights aren't lit). The touchpad doesn't function still either. I'm a bit confused about what you mean about the ps2.kext because I've tried installing a few, but to no avail. Same thing with the wifi. For some reason, it can't even see it. D;
Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it, and I'm sure others are going to have some of the same questions.

Ok, after installing 10.6.2 om my l305, the keyboard freezes an the trackpad also on mine, but when I start up in safe mode it works fine, I am doing some research on it now.

I managed to figure out what was going wrong. I reinstalled some of the kexts that came on the original disk that I didn't try the first time, and that did it. It now boots with all my bios settings at their defaults, with dual core enabled. The keyboard, and the touchpad work fine (I just can't scroll using the right side anymore, but that is a small sacrifice I am willing to make). Wifi detects my Atheros Card, but it can't find anything however. Thank you for all your help so far! My installation of 10.5.7 has come very far, very quickly!

Its nice to hear more success than there was before with the Toshiba laptop series. Thanks for your feedback any information can be most helpful to the project.

I never realized how many there where in the OSx86 community that had Toshiba laptops or even that I would get this many hits on this post.
