I got it working! I installed 10.5.6 on my Qosmio. My system specs are as follows: 17' WXGA+ TruBright HD Display 2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 4GB DDR3, 1066Mhz 2- HDDs: AToshiba 200GB 7200RPM and a Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200.4RPM drive NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GTS w/ 512MB VRAM I currently run: Windows Vista Home Premium x64 openSUSE 11.1 and now Mac OSX with future plans to add another partition for Windows 7 beta. (they're all partitioned across two internally installed HDDs) They all boot from GRUB (because it makes working with linux easier and took less time) I installed it using the XxX 10.5.6 (you rock btw) install using the Voodoo kernel, realtek ethernet drivers, NVDARWIN 512MB, and I have it toggled to display the start up menu in case I have to boot to safe mode or something. I was even able to get my Sprint Sierra Wireless Compass 597U to work on it too. XxX 10.5.6 installed with no errors with the exception of an ACPI error once for some reason, but worked like magic after a reboot. IPC choked and iDeneb got me to a desktop, but only with ACPI hacks and I could never get NVIDIA drivers to work.

I still have no sound and for now I'm not really worried about fixing it as apparently it's some kind of BIOS issue that Windows and Mac OS can't agree about. My Atheros 9281 will probably never be supported, but as long as I have a hard wire or my Sprint card I'm not too worried about it. If anyone has some kind of solution for either my sound or wireless N issues, I'd be happy to hear about them. Just wanting to spread my good news as trying to do this on my desktop wasn't as successful. Sorry to bother you but I have noticed you, lkelly2006 and I have the same laptop, so I would like to share my experience with OSX 10.5.7 on this machine till today and I hope some of them be helpful for you also.

Qosmio X770 Drivers

In fact I have a Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q705 which is basically the same machine, same hardware but different model number. The only different is that I am using a second 500GB hard disk for OSX and Data in separate partitions. I was able to install iDeneb 10.5.7 by using the following options during the install only as showed below; otherwise I got an IOAPIC error or a kernel panic error (when using cpus=2): 970 -v -x cpus=2 After rebooting no errors and I was able to enable the sound (ALC272 and bluetooth (TOS6205 by using the drivers located in InsanelyMac. The camera works with CamTwist but we need to enable QE first before using the camera: Note: it is known that our model of Chicony camera works with CamTwist. Currently testing SD Card reader with this driver: So it seems almost all devices are supported except for the video card where I am not able to change the screen resolution or even enabling QE/CI, in spite of during the installation I have selected NVDARWIN 512MB. Were you able to enable QE/CI for the nVidia 9700M GTS?

Currently I am reviewing the following links in order to see if there is any way for enabling QE/CI via GFX Strings: Also I got this summary from a Google search but it seems the link is broken: 'Hi, I got QE/CI working on my 9700m GT (Laptop is an Asus G50v-A1) with resolution changing but the performance in OpenGL apps is sort of awkward.' 9700m GT (g96) with QE/CI working but strange 3d performance.

Would you please help me about it? Thanks in advance, any help regarding the video is appreciated.
