Finally got my laptop and after a few failed attempts finally seem to be getting somewhere i've got leopard running on my laptop

i tried a few distro's some of which wouldn't even boot in the end i ended up using kalyway 10.5.2

which unfortunatly is a bit out of date but is working brilliantly

i managed to get it running (heres a screen shot of my desktop)



with fully working
  • sound
  • video (thanks very much to your driver had to edit the list file and turn hardware cursor off as it made cursor all sqeuwif turned into a box of mess basicly but that sorted that out)
    • wireless
    • card reader
    • battery meter and power management
    • all effects seem to be working

    only problems i have are

    Usb sticks aren't being recognized

    sometimes when booting it just hangs on the apple not to sure about this been reading adding rd=disk(partition) to the boot.plist sorts this out am yet to try that.

    also i've noticed there are kexts to enable two touch on the touch pad dont really know how that will effect my setup.

    also going to look into updating the chameleon loader to the newer version

    but more importantly id like to upgrade to 10.5.8 and am not really sure how to go about it. I am going to start reading around now see what i can find. But any input on that would be really really appreciated.

    Thanks ever so much for your input so far its been fantastic in helping me.
