    Its nice to see my Vaio UX featured in the new Terminator Salvation movie, its a shame John Connor didnt have OSX on his though lol. Maybe then he would have beaten the machines.

    Dualvegality, do you mind me asking how you got round the 100 click limit? Thanks

    good idea, i tried the combo update before and baked it. Left with a dead ux. Yet another install got it going. Are there any major benefits to having 10.5.7 over 10.5.5? Just want to make sure its worth it rather than risking another lost few hours… Im sure you’ve been there all too many times to get where you are now. Persistence is more than required.

    try looking for the graphics kexts, keep all of your modified kext files on your desktop. Do the combo 10.5.7 update then do not restart. use kext helper to reinstall your modified kext files before restarting. Good luck

    Dang, i just managed to get a 10.5.5 install finished yesterday including the touchbase driver, full qe ci, audio – basically the same as your but 2 revisions earlier… Which osx86 distro did you start with if you dont mind me asking?

    Hi Mark, Will you be publishing instructions for setting this up? I have been struggling to get leopard installed on my ux1xn and would very much like to get it to the level that you have achieved. Thanks. g.

    Wow thanks for this! do you if the ux1xn would be happy running osx? i guess they’re pretty much the same.

    where do u recommend getting a ux from in the uk? it seems quite hard : )

    Nice video :)
    How did you get the touchscreen calibrated? On my UX which is running 10.5.6 it is not working correctly.

    there are no audio sync issues on the unit itself.

    It’s brilliant that you can actually do this, but I’m affraid strictly hardware-wise, this little machine is not up to the task, one can clearly see the audio-video sync issues. With a stronger processor, this could be a nice alternative to a macbook.

    get one now, you will no doubt be able to upgrade to 10.6 for the cost of the DVD £5 if you purchase a mac just before its released. Apple are good to customers :-)

    I’m planning on getting a mac this summer when OS 10.6 comes out.

    Im not a fan of windows in any iteration, ive tried windows 7 and as a mac user i would recommend OSX to anyone except the die hard gamer.

    no problem, they did to my vids a while back too.
    Also wow in only 5 days you have over 9000 views!!

    Thanks for letting me know about it being hosted, i was wondering where else it was. :-)

    BTW great vid, I’m also thinking of putting OS X on my Sony UX, right now it’s running windows 7 very nicely, which you watch on my page.
