notice this driver is still running on Vesa Frame Buffer and not true Nvidia GPU.

I might be wrong...

does this only work on Pentium 4-based laptops? What about Pentium M laptops, like the Inspiron 6000? Anyone try it?

If the guy above can run it on 1440x900, then it is indeed possible to run it on 1900x1200 too. He's running it at that since it's his native resolution (see his specs? It's a WXGA screen). But he could run it at WUXGA if he had the screen.

I know it was possible to go up to 1280x1024 by changing the strings in the Boot.plist with previous builds, but can anyone confirm 1920x1200 native resolution with this build?

If it possible to run WUXGA at full 1920x1200, this is a huge step forward.

1920x1200 is working fine. Have everything but wireless fully functional on my 9300. Broadcom chipset wireless mini pci card has been ordered to complete that

Heres the money shot...

Help!!!!!

Need a favour from anyone with 10.4.5. installed. could you pm me a copy of your AppleAC97Audio.kext file please? Just zip it up and send to me. I accidentally deleted my copy after installing the video drivers messed up my permissions. The file is located in /System/Library/Extensions

Could I install this to a USB drive, and boot my XPS up with that? I would love to play with it, but not at the expense of hosing my XPS.

No offence intended to the Mac OSX fans, just that I HAVE to have XP on my XPS. I would like to test out MAC OSX, but only if I could boot it from a USB drive. If this will work, please let me know how.

Its definitely possible to run it off of a usb drive but why not just create a seperate partition and install OSX on there. I've had mine on a seperate partition for about a month now and I haven't ran into a problem with it.

I have everything set up and working, but until we get Quartz Extreme it's not really worth using.

I had it working too, but I am with Hazridi: until we get some good nvidia drivers, I don't want to use it. I am dual booting Vista instead.

there are video card drivers but once you install them and restart the computer you get a black screen. I would wait until the drivers for the video card are completely fixed.
