[Solved] Hackintosh Dell XPS M1530 Laptop

Dear All,

I need full info to install Mac OS X Leopard on my Dell XPS M1530 Notebook. Will everything be working with Mac OS X Leopard for this notebook?

Please help.

Thank you so much in advance.

Much obliged,
JBauer...

iATKOS v7 should work for you..

I think theres a thread for this system here, please search before posting or check the HCL.

I got kernel panic with iAtkos v7 on the Dell XPS M1530 with default install on 1st restart.

Please help. What am I missing?

Much obliged,
JBauer...

Got through with the iAtkos v7 install using Chameleon 1 instead of version 2 on XPS M1530. However, the Wifi, Ethernet, Keyboard and Trackpad are not working. Also, the video resolution is limited to 1024X768 only.

Please help.

Much obliged,
JBauer...

I have a Dell XPS m1530 Laptop and also want to know if I can run Leopard on it as well!

I arrived here from google, because I am searching for everything I need before I try it.

If a whole bunch of devices end up unusable, then I might be stuck buying a mac, and I can't afford one right now.

yes you can
i have Dell XPS 1530 and i am running MAC OSX 10.5.8 on it along with Ubuntu , Windows XP, Vista and Ubuntu.
i am having one small problem which is the wireless card Intel 4965AGN can not work
the best bet it to visit http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...p/HCL#Wireless
to get one that works

Good Luck

I bough a USB wireless device (Dlink DWL-G122) to get the internet working cause my internal wireless won't work. I didn't try the sound yet and the shutdown/restart don't work as you may already know.

Please share your config if you find other driver working. Thanks.

This setup worked great for me on my Dell XPS M1530 as well. Only question now is how can we fix the sleep/shutdown problem? When I try to sleep or shutdown it just hangs...and hangs. It would obviously be nice to be able to sleep or shutdown without having to hard shutdown.
