I never use them, but I am always accidentally muting my speakers by inadvertently hitting these seriously misplaced keys. The only design flaw on an otherwise great laptop. Hope someone can help. Figuring out how to disable these keys shouldn't be as difficult as it's been. No one on the Dell user forum seems to know. Someone asked this exact question 67 days ago, with zero replies. Thanks.

Infact, you dont have idea that you are up and running. There is simple solution for your problem. When your Mac boot into black after blue screen..focus on your Hard drive LED, wait until it starts blinking. As you see it blinking just press Ctrl+Esc, that's it!!! you will see your screen. Good luck. @cheng_med..Dude you’r almost there. Infact, you dont have idea that you are up and running. There is simple solution for your problem.

Does anyone else have a similar laptop, or maybe they found something that worked after all the normal suggested methods? so far ive tried the GMA950 kexts, GMA3100 kexts, editing the com.apple.boot.plist settings.

Clayton, your guide really caught my eye because I've read about lots of successful "XPS" and "Inspiron" OS X installs, but very little as far as the "Vostro" model. Like "Chang_med" (above me), I have a Vostro 1700 with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, nVidia GeForce 8600M video graphics card, Intel Pro Wireless 3945 802.11a/b/g, etc. I found and downloaded the Vanilla Kernel 9.4.0. (the one you used for your install). Unfortunately, I acquired iAtkos 5i before I read this post... So, I'd like to know where can I get iAtkos 4i? Seems like all the places to get "4i" have dried up and died. Also, can anyone fill me in as far as correct driver combinations for Vostro 1700 (and how I should pre-configure the BIOS settings)? Thanks. Great install guide!!! Hi, yes… i would like to get leopard up and running, as well.
