Dell S300w and S500w Wireless Driver not working on OS X Lion

Hi, Anyone got any newer driver than A29 or projector firmware (S300) newer than W20?

All my projector is now bricked on Wireless mode for OS X LION users... It just display black screen with only mouse cursor with its trails showing.

I have just purchased the S300wi as well.  I am also running Mac Lion and I get exactly the same problem :-(  Where do I go to get latest firmware update?

Haha good luck contacting your local Dell support. Mine told me they do not even have a Mac to test, and acquiring one will require long process and time...

I've got the same problem as well. And the interactive pen is detected as a keyboard so I can't use it. Does the interactive pen actually work on Macs anyway?

Same problem here, applied a patch "Dell Interactive Scaling Fix" and still it wasn't working.  I get the black screen with mouse tails.

I'm having the same exactly problem. In contact with Dell, they told me that don't have any Mac technician and in the future *perhaps* this projector will work with Lion on wireless mode. Wait until there...

If they don't support Mac systems why this information is shown on websites and overviews?

Still waiting...

I just purchased a Dell 4220 projector and I am having the same problem.  I have tried multiple different things to no avail.  I have also already downloaded the new Mountain Lion 10.8 Mac OS and that does not fix the problem.  I was sure hoping that it would.  I have escalated my problem up the line with Dell and they call every other day to tell me that somebody somewhere is looking into the problem.  The only work around I know that is coming in the future is the ability to mirror the Mac using Apple TV.  That ability is also wireless and is coming with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion.  I signed up with Apple as a Developer and have downloaded a beta of OS 10.8 and the mirroring worked fine.  It does not however give the same type of multiple computer controls that are built into the Dell wireless solution, example:  multiple computers logged in to the projector sharing the screen in four quadrants or switching between the four computers with the Dell provided management software.  I will let you know if Dell solves the problem.  BTW: I have the same problem with Mac Air's and Mac Pro's.

Hi Chris,

was wondering if you now have a firmware update for S300w for Mac 10.8. I'm desperate!
