Acer Aspire 5100

[U2Desire]

Just wondering if anyone managed to get Leopard working on this Laptop?
I've tried a couple of builds but haven't had any real success. :(
Damn sure wish I would have learned of this OSX86 Project before buying this machine almost 2 years ago.

Thanks,

have you posted your hardware report? It will help people help you, a generic request is difficult to follow up. You can use Everest to get a detailed pc hardware report, attach this to your post. I have acer aspire 5520 and i was able to install from kalyway dvd installer, though some things do not work yet

Yes. I works really good. Some issues though with the video accelleration. But everything else work great.

I just installed 10.5.6 from IDENEB, plus the Athero.kext file form Leo. this enables the athero wireless..the wired is nativly recognized by OSX.

Good luck.
