I got Leopard up and running on my Presario F768WM about a year ago. I meant to write a guide, but Leopard kept overheating so I never got around to it. I'm hoping to figure out how I did it soon and post a guide. I got everything working except for WiFi and the graphics card (stuck with 1200x768 res). If you have an external HD you could install Leo4all v3 or iAtkos v4 on it.
