Yes. Two of them last night.

[garyparr]

Done 2 also, been running fine for last 10 days

[vorador]

So.... It doesn't cut the click buttons at the bottom screen as the 576 does right?

Wait a second, when did the 10v get a 1024x600 screen? I thought the screen only was 1024x576.

so hold up. i just installed 10.5.1 from the original leopard disc, and i got the usual resolution it too low error or whatever and couldn't run setup. I then went into system preferences, and went to the display section, and saw that i couldn't change the resolution from 640x480... if i do an incremental upgrade to 10.5.6, and then use DellEFI 1.1 with the custom options will I be able to change the resolution then?

I believe that usually you are supposed to use DellEFIBootMaker to mirror image your DVD onto a jump drive or external HDD, then use that to install. DellEFI adds the nice little extensions for perfecting things like the resolution and stuff.

Anyway, if you are running a 10.5.1 install then you should NOT do the incremental update! You have to download the combo update from Apple's site, extract the pkg and use that instead. If you run the incremental update you will run into issues. But yeah, basically everything else about your comment should work. I would go with DellEFI's newest version though, I believe it's like 1.2a5 or something...I tell you what, just follow this guide and you should be golden, just obviously start from the point where you are at and not the beginning of the guide. Good luck, hope it works out

I am happy and I still havent loaded W7.


Update:
Windows 7 installed via the How To on this site to the partitioned drive. It was the easiest thing to do. 10.5.7 was the hardest.

Works perfect.

Hey - Can you tell me the steps you followed to get dual boot on the 10v working? I followed the steps in http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-...osx-guide.html
installed osx, then w7 - everythign working in w7, easyBCD done to add osx boot option, then boot using the 123 drive to boot into OSX, dellefi 1.1 and then reboot - i see the easybcd boot menu for both. at this point I can boot into w7 fine but when booting into OSX, I am stuck at the spinning wheel. what a drag. tried booting using -f option, diabled bluetooth in bios etc.. always stuck at the spinning wheel. any help? thanks

UPDATE:
Booted into OSX using the Syslinux123 boot drive, ran dellefi again to delete the dsdt.aml and ran it a second time to generate the dsdt.aml file again. That did it. Not sure why I did it - i vaguely remember reading abt it somewhere at some point. Anyway, dual booting on the 10v with OSX (everything working except internal mic) and Windows 7 - perfect!! This is better than the Mini 9

[dan.lee]

Is it still not working? Been waiting

[peekj]

I'm successfully running OS X 10.5.7 on my Mini 10v now. One issue aside from the crackling sound is that if I let it go to sleep with any usb device attached, it won't wake up. Has anyone got a fix for that?

Cheers

[Nick Gertz]

To fix the USB sleep issue try turning USB legacy mode off in the mini's bios. Just remember with this off you won't be able to boot off an external dvd/HD. Just turn it back on in bios when that time comes.
