Hello I'm totally new to Mac OSX but have a few year with linux and I was wondering before I start reading tutorial if my hardware will work. Notebook Spec :

Clevo M860TU (Eurocom) | P8400 | 2GB DDR3 | 9800M GT 512MB | 15" WSXGA+ | 320go@5400rpm | intel 5300 agn (I don't care about the wireless) | chipest ich9m

Just a yes/no and the name of the release I should use will be enough I'll do the reading/searching myself

Thanks

Try with iPC or ideneb, they both should work in your system without problems, report back your progress ;D

Thanks I tried iDeneb it installed in 15 min but now I'm stuck in 1024x768 and with some serious video glitch. Every time I scroll or move something it become sort of transparent.

So before I go further could somebody help me with the geeky word because I'm a bit lost. What is QI/CE (or something like that),EFI string, nvinject, nvkush,nvdarwin, nvanything

Well that was much too simple. I reinstalled and this time I saw the personalize button so I selected chameleon and nvdarwin 512mb and guess what I'm now in 1680x1050 with QE enabled on internal display then I though let's try external screen, guess what I plugged it and it worked instantly. Awesome.

Now all I have to do is find the "start button" but seriously where are all the application shortcut stored and I have no idea how to make my sound card work

LOL start button, you can see all the applications with finder, in the application folder, now whats your audio card chipset?

lol I was semi-kidding about the start button, I feel a bit lost without it

I'm almost certain my audio chipset is realtek alc262 but I don't know how to verify it. I reinstalled with the alc262 driver selected but still no sound.

Also while almost everything work can you recommend a software to make an image of my partition

Last one how is it possible that every time I try to start my PC with DVI plugged it crash and then the boot is broke (only solution I have found is to reinstall )

[EDIT] actually it is a alc662 which hopefully explain why I have no sound.

You can try with voodooHDA, google it

or this, but the info is in italian XD

good luck

Cool I'll try this and report back thanks for the help by the way

I tryed the italian one it sorta work, Internal speaker work but I have no volume control, I can just mute/unmute. Good enough to show-off in front of my friend

Awesome with voodoohda internal and external work with mute/unmute and volume control
