When Gateway id5822u laptop went on sale for $399, I got one for my wife to use. It has great specs for the money, the I3 & I5 are available now for about $300.00 more which I don't really need. Core 2 duo T6500 @2.1Ghz, 4Gb DDR3, 500Gb hard drive, LED screen, 15.6" wide screen, eSata, webcam, microphone, sd/mmc, multi DVD drive, HDMI output, 1366x768 resolution... Anyhow, I try to... ... install dual boot with windows 7 & mac os x just for experimenting. For this installation with 10.5.8, preview works, screen capture works although NO QE/CI/CL, unlike 10.6.3 which screen capture and preview don't work.
SET SATA in BIOS to AHCI, it seems to work better for dual boot using EasyBCD1.7.2
Hit F2 to get into bios to set 1st boot to CD/DVD
Partition the 500Gb to 405GB + 50Gb (11Gb was reserved for restoration from Gateway). Install Windows 7 on 405Gb partition. Set both partitions as primary and format them.
The dvd drive doesn't read dvd very well, but I got it down, it takes too long to spin and read. I had to wait until it finish spinning before I start installing the iDeneb 1.6 distro.
At the welcome screen, click utilities and select disk utilities
Erase 100gb partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Customizing the installation:
1. Default Chameleon 2.
2. Kernel Qoopz9.8.
3. AHCI fix + ICH fix
4. Sound voodooHDA
5. Old_ps2mouse and keyboard.
6. No video, no Network, nothing else.
After the installation, kexts that need to be installed:
1. voodooBattery.kext (this one to show the battery life)
2. voodooPS2Controller Package (for keyboard and pad -replacing the Old_PS2mouse). After installing this package, make sure to remove Old_PS2mouse (2 files ACPIPS2Nub.kex + ApplePS2controller.kext) before reboot. Also need to edit the voodooPS2mouse.kex changing ForceResolution... from false to true.
3. Install AppleIntelGMAX3100FB_softcursor_sleep.kext to get all resolutions display.
4. Install wireless airlink golden 150 usb driver to use since there is no driver working for intel wifi 5100 AGN chipset.
After installation, the boot need to be fixed by using windows 7 repair using diskpart. The trick for not doing too much in fixing this is to set up the EasyBCD1.7.2 first with window7 boot. Then all we have to do is to set the partition active and the easybcd boot menu will come back, after that, add the OSX boot in the menu and then we can boot into the OSX10.5.8
All Laptops these days have trackpad with multi-fingers movements. To use the trackpad, we need to download VoodooPS2Controller.pkg to install and configure. Make sure to remove ApplePS2Controller.kext and AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext before reboot. To enable tapping, must check the "click" option and set the sensitivity bars.
More pictures and videos. I need to write this up for NOT to forget how to later.
