Thinkpad X200s: almost done
I just joined this forum. It's nice to find a place that's not too crowded and has friendly members. I am currently trying to get OS X on a Thinkpad X200s. Here is the current situation, in case someone with a similar machine wants to try…

Intel GMA X4500HD
“uman, I will try it and report. In fact I already saw the X3100 kext loaded, but I think it was caused by injecting MacBookAir1,1 as model identifier (other kexts that did not match my hardware were loaded).”

Intel GMA X4500HD
“UndeadSurfer, that's because 1280x1024 is a supported VESA mode in the X4500 bios, whereas most widescreen resolutions aren't.”

Intel GMA X4500HD
“Well UndeadSurfer, because it does not work. The videocard bios contains a list of the supported VESA modes and if the one you want is not listed there, com.apple.Boot.plist won't be much help. So the solution is to patch the video card tem…”

“changturkey, if all you care about is using your native resolution, there are currently two known hacks/fixes. One involves installing Linux, then using Grub as a bootloader with a patched version of the 915resolution module. It is rather c…”

Thinkpad X200s: almost done
“If you have a Thinkpad and you are running 10.5.8, just use the method described in this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=188279 Make sure you install the kexts to /System/Library/Extensions. It did not work for me…”

Thinkpad X200s: almost done
“My X200s is suffering from some (unrelated) issues right now so I can't test my idea, but I was thinking of trying something for the sleep problem. This build of Chameleon is supposed to fix deep sleep (hibernation) issues: http://www.insan…”

Trying to run Vanilla with Chameleon 2, need some help

How to force the EFI calculated FSB value
“I have the exact same problem with 10.6.2. My CPU (Core Duo) is detected correctly, but the FSB is not. I have the same values as described in the first post. Did you find a solution, NIXin ?”

Apple Remote with OSx86
“Aydinz, you can't use the IR receiver of your universal dock - apparently the IR receiver of the dock is not wired to the USB port and can't communicate with the computer. I don't think the one used by your keyboard will work, either. But t…”
