Overview

There are several "distributions" of Mac OS X 10.4 Hacked for generic x86 computers, This Overview is based on Dist. 10.4.4 with a few 10.4.5 patches. The reason I used this version, is that this is the version that supports the IBM Atheros, IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II, and that's the most important issue for me, as most of the other issues can be resolved/fixed if you've got Internet Connection.

Worked right 'out of the box' Installation

  • 1024x768 Resolution
  • Hibernate and Standby
  • UltraNav (3rd button scrool doesn't work yet)
  • WLAN (Atheros, IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II)
  • Audio
  • Audio Keys
  • Bluetooth
  • DVD-RW (burning discs)

Easily Fixed / Resolved

  • 1400x1050 Resolution. (can be easily set to default to any screen supported resolution with very little editing, but requires restart to acctually change res.)!
  • ATI 3D Acceleration (Mobility Radeon X300, Core Image & Quartz Extreme a.k.a CI&QE - Enabled with a little tearing)
  • Battery Management
  • Broadcom Network 1GbE

Untested

  • Modem
  • IrDA

Not Working / No Fix

  • Finger Print Module
  • Embedded Security Module
