I am going to use iPC OSx86 10.5.6
unless another Image works better?
Since i strated this post I haven't found anything to work yet either.
Lets keep working on this as the alternative is running windows 7.
I belive that with the SSHD this laptop will be faster that a Mac Pro

as far as i aware your chipset is supported why tiger and not leopard?
Did your ever get your wireless working? I have an Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 card and I haven't gotten it to work yet.
I got the same notebook but with the intel video, i try the iaktos version and detects the lan, wifi, modem, firewire, but the lan always says its unplugged, the wifi cant turn on, the trackpad not work, bluetooth works, video works, audio not works, i start to download the new version of the iaktos because its the best works with my notebook, i try before the xxxalex but not lan detect, no wifi, no bluetooth, no firewire, only modem, and the trackpad works, all the installations i made it with the default settings.
Im from Guatemala, sorry for the english by the way .
Edit: I get you up to date with the advantages.
No so good
Well, i do the installation yesterday, and nothing of the Lan, Wifi, Blueetooth works, no keyboard, no trackpad i download the last iaktos dvd and nothing, so dont use this, im gone to try with other, i found this thread:

Ktulu022:
Had the same problem with internal keyboard and trackpad… -> try installing ps2 fix. Cant remember the exaxct name, but it is the one you would also install if you wanted to use external ps2 keyboard and mouse.
