Choose an OS that requires more than a skull full of cottage cheese to use and you’ll have a lot less issues.

I’m going to say that the touchscreen issue is almost certainly due to the non-native resolution on the display.

Not being a Mac guy I’m going to have to defer how to get that working to someone else.

@ j
It’s not about using one os over another, it’s about getting an os to run on hardware it’s not intended to run on.

can you say the same thing for those who put windows 95 on a psp?
what about vista on a ps3?

ubuntu doesn’t work 100% on my laptop, but it’s still neat to have.

what you think of as “issues” are actually puzzles that need solving.

a) Someone else actually ‘hacked’ the OS to install on this machine
b) He didn’t even get critical components like video, wifi or audio working.

He downloaded some software and installed it, and whoopie figured out that disabling onboard audio made the keyboard work. Why was this worth posting?

I have a tiger.vmx image that actually runs but networking is disabled. This image works with vm workstation. Locks up using Sun’s virtual machine. Christopher Columbus didn’t discover America.

If you want multitouch on os x try going to NUIGROUP and check out Touche, BBtouch and the newly released Tbeta.
