any help that you can provide on these to minor issues would be greatly appreciated. Tried using osx86 tools kext helper, efi studio and nothing seems to work, I Think it must be something im doing wrong. from what i read i think its possible to turn on the machine and have it automatically boot right into osx, but im not to familiar with using the terminal app. The 2nd issue that i have with this "hackitosh" is that i have to boot up having a "grub" bootcd in the drive upon startup. Idealy i would like to avoid buying a new video card, as they seem to be about $100+ Is there a kext soloution that im not seeing? or am i installing it wrong? I should try installing a "real" video card and not bother with the on board video. How can i get better video resoltion, everything that i read on the boards gets me thinking im 1. installed adobe illustrator and photoshop and the machine is still working fine. restart cross fingers and yes, Re boots no problem. Try software update and update from 10.5 retail disc to 10.5.6 about a hour download from apple the moment of truth came. Nice!!! im feeling good, Finally internet access wireless even. #DELL OPTIPLEX 755 PCI SMBUS CONTROLLER DRIVER DRIVERS#after attempting those with osx86 tools, i still could not get ethernet, nor video ( other then 1024x768) to work,however i did get the audio drivers to work ( the front audi output jack does not work nor does the internal speaker, but the back audio jack does work and sounds great when plugged in to a good set of speakers) I ended up pulling a old pci sonnet wireless card that i had in a old apple g5 and it installed fine and auto recognized as a airport card. More reading, um kext files sound very promising. Bad screen resolution and no ethernet = no fun. AWESOME i thought, but wait my screen resolution sucks 1024x768, oh darn my onboard ether net doesn't work. #DELL OPTIPLEX 755 PCI SMBUS CONTROLLER DRIVER INSTALL#after about 4 hours i got it to install osx. I read and followed the instructions all the boot loader stuff, and disk utility, and Guid, etc etc etc. More importantly, It might give the machine to be able to update via apple software update without any problems. it would save me time from downloading a torrrent, & 2. ( Ive got 3 GENUINE MACS that i use every day) noetheless after a lot of reading of the boards I was excited to hear about being able to install from a apple retail dvd As 1. I had a spare dell optiplex 755 base model lying around and i figured it would be fun to try and "hackintosh"
