Run EDP tool, select your model (eg. D620 with Intel graphic card)

 

Use the voodoops2controller+Audio+lan+powerpack.. dont select the pcmcia pack..

 

after that is done.. reboot...

So, let me summary it up. What do we need to install MAC OSX on Dell Latitude D620:

1)Download image SLD430USB.img.bz2, unpack it and “burn†it on flash driver >8gb. Via mac/linux or windows method described here

http://www.osxlatitu..._Latitudes.html

2)Install MACOSX via this flashdrive

Then, instead of following this guide

 

http://www.osxlatitude.com/groups/d4xosx/wiki/319f8/d4xOSX_package_10.html
Upgrading bootloader...
1. Download "Booter_AsereBLN_v1.1.9.zip" and extract it to /asere
2. Open up a "Terminal" (Applications/Util.../Terminal)
3. start by typing "sudo su" [ENTER] ... enter your password and hit [ENTER] (yes, without the " ")
4. type: cd /asere [ENTER]
5. type: fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 [ENTER]
6. type: dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 [ENTER]
7. type: cp boot / [ENTER]

 

I need to

3)Simply download and install this bootloader http://forum.osxlati...n-v20-rc5-r665/

4)Download and install this http://forum.osxlati...ate-5-released/

By following this guide:

 

1. Download and copy over Extra.zip to /
2. Rename or remove your old Extra folder
3. Unzip Extra.zip to /Extra
4. Open terminal and do:

sudo su [enter]
chmod -R 777 /Extra
cd /Extra
./edptool.command

5. Choose to do a new build matching your model (applemouse+Audio(Y)+lan(Y)+powerpack(N))
6. Hold your breath and reboot

 

Additional this guide to have sleepmode enabled:

http://www.osxlatitu...e_with_OSX.html

 

Am I correct? If yes, then why this guide still exist?

http://www.osxlatitu...package_10.html

Its longer (take a loot at bootloader part) and laptop can't boot by it self.

Ok i see.

 

I know that it will be too much, but still, any special tweaks for graphic card? I've installed steam and 2 games, trine and portal. And both can launch, but trine plays with horrible artifacts, and portal just shows logo and then i heare only sound, screen is black. Both games were playable under Windows 7, so i wonder maybe a need to press something somewhere to have miracle.

Try another mouse driver (do a new build) .. the voodoops2 is experimental, and we are working on another.. sadly, not everything is as straith forward as it seems...

 

As for graphics.. so faar our main target is to get things to work.. next is to actually optimize it.. but hey.. feel free to research it and let us know what you find :)
