I am looking for a osx86 variant (prefer Leopard because it is newer) that works with my Dell D420.

I have tried and had success installing several including Jas 10.4.8, Kalyway 10.5.2, iatkos 5i, but I am having the same minor issues on all of them.

The main problem is that I don't know how to configure the accelerated drivers for the Intel GMA950 graphics chipset.

Other things missing are sound and ethernet.

If anyone knows the exact installation setup needed for something like iatkos 5i or IPC 10.5.6, could they please list the steps needed?

leppy600m over at insanelymac forums put an awesome howto together for d420 laptops.

this worked for me perfectly except for trackpad scrolling.

you also should read the d420 install bible here to learn sleep function:
