Hi everybody.
Forst of all; GEREAT WORT!!!! Extremely helpful thread!

I have installed the iATKOS S3 (SN 10.6.3) on my X61. Well after installing some Kext and adding the HEX string to the apple.boot.plist most of the hardware woks fine for me. However, still have some problems.

1) The display works fine. However, the brightness control does not. :-( I have included the HEX string to my apple.boot.plist as described in the BrightnesControlPack for the X61. The Intel X3100 works perfectly but without any brightness control. Anyone a solution on that?

2) Installing the SL 10.6.3 transformed my thinkpad x61 to a MacBook Air ;-) because only the USB-ports at the left side of the laptop do work, the one on the right, which is the one i prefer to use, does not! Whats wrong here?

3) The most important point! How about a software to control the fan. Im mostly using a windows 7 OS and together with a fan-control-software my X61 is 90% of the time absolutely quiet, despite the HDD! Using OSX, the fan is running nonstop which firstly, is not necessary as the temperature is at about 42C and secondly, this running fann is extremely annoying. While using W7 i have forgotten how loud the x61 fan really is. If there is no solution to that (i would even pay for that if necessary) this will sooner or later be the end of the OSX project on my x61. Sadly!

3a) One minor problem; The Cpu is a T7300 thus having 2GHz, the maximum CPU frequency in SL is 1.8GHz? How come?

If anyone has working solutions for that please contact me.

Thanks in advance
cheers
