I am desperate!.
After hours and 2 installations (very slow!) i´m able to boot onto Leopard. That´s about all I can do cos´I have no track-pad (no Mouse, using USB one), my resoltion is a stinky 1024 and have no Wireless. I also have no audio...
So I could go ahead and spend a few more hours trying different iAtkos installation settings, but
a) I have no idea what to choose. I did my homework and have a "Everest" profile of my PC, but it´s obviously not enough.
b ) I´m afraid i´d mess it up even more.
My configuration is:
- Asus X5DIJ with Windows 7 and Leopard partitions
- Intel Pentium III Xeon, 2200 MHz
- 4GB Ram
- Mouse: ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad
- Graphics: Mobile Intel® GMA 4500M
- Wireless: Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter
- Audio: VIA High Definition Audio
On the last install (at least can boot): iAtkos s3 with no graphics enabler, default bootloader (Aberos ?) ps2 drivers...
Is there a way of applying different configs without the endless rebooting, and 20 minute installations?. What´s the aproach now?. I´ve trying to install some kexts and no results so far.
I desperately need this to work!.
I do music with Logic Audio (only Mac) and had an iMac that broke, (PC for everything else). Macs are just too expensive and I hate Steve Jobs so I dived into this solution. I´m worried my system is just not compatible, which would reaaaally suck...
and keep up the good work!.

@CoolzrockHackintosh is same as love. If you force it, it won't work. I don't know how to help you, but you can't judge that your laptop isn't compatible from two installations. When i purchased my motherboard on my PC, specially for the Hackintosh i was careful. I had the ASUS P5-KPLAM SE, witch is one of the most compatible Hackintosh…
Thanks mate!
4th installation...
Keyboard notr working (besides the usual) but funnily enough the built-in cam is working!. I can see myself upside-down.
After installing some crazy Kexts Mouse & Keyboard working!
Giving up on asus XDIJ...
Got the mouse (trackpad) working but: horrible resolution, no sound, no Wifi...
After a restart the mouse just goes crazy, all over the place.
My main isuue is that if I try to fix something, install a new kext or whatever, half the time I end up not being able to boot at all. So I have to start from scratch and that´s 30min at least.
Is there a way to make a disk image, bvackup or something so I don´t have to install from DVD everytime?.
I can´t find any posts of how to get the Asus X5DIJ going in the right direction. Think I´ll just wait to see if someone more prepared can actually do it.

When i purchased my motherboard on my PC, specially for the Hackintosh i was careful. I had the ASUS P5-KPLAM SE, witch is one of the most compatible Hackintosh motherboards ever. But i didn't succeed from the first time. I think i installed it correctly the fourth time. Yeah... So you better get a cup of coffee and spend a day on fixing your hackintosh.
I really hope that you'll be able to work this out
