Hi i m a Newbie

I have just Installed Kalyway 10.5.2 on my Vista installed Toshiba Laptop. I dual booted my System and Leopard is installed Successfully and after rebooting when it enters the Welcome Screen where i have Welcome written in different languages i have no sound and my Display is all scrambled and i cant see anything.

 

I read the forum and searched around alot to solve this problem but couldnt get my hand to the perfect solution. Please Help me?

 

BTW i checked both GMA and X3100 drivers at the customization screen of the Installation.

Anybody???

I have full screen resolutions and hardware Quartz Extreme and core image working on my Gateway X3100 video hackintosh running Leo4All that's been upgraded to 10.5.5. I just downloaded and installed the Leopard Graphics Update found here and then installed Natit.kext (attached file) with KextHelper then rebooted.

 

Try it out and let me know if you get it fixed.

 

Natit.kext.zip

You should first try booting with a -x flag at the darwin prompt, that will boot you into safe mode if your screen isn't scrambled, you can then try the method I outlined in my first post.

 

To manually delete all X3100 kexts and driver bundles, boot with -s flag at the Darwin prompt and, after you get to a command prompt, type:

(hit return after each command)

sudo bash

cd /System/Library/Extensions

rm -rf AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext

rm -rf AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext

rm -rf AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext

rm -rf AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin

rm -rf AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle

rm -rf AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle

rm -rf AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext

rm -rf Natit.kext

reboot

 

Note: Not all these files may be present in your particular installation. But removing the files that are present should allow you to boot to the desktop in standard 1024x768 mode with no resolutions options or QE/CI

 

It would probably be easier for you to just reinstall OSX and not select the GMA and X3100 graphic options so you can at least get to the desktop in 1024x768 mode then try the method I posted about earlier.

 

Good Luck

Glad you got it going.

 

What Wifi Chipset are you using? Many do not work with OSX.

My Wifi is Atheros AR5007EG and i m using a Toshiba Laptop with Intel R 965 Express Chipset Family.

Wandered alot around the forums but still couldnt find any solution to this problem as if i dont have my internet working i cant do any updates.

 

Still a Newbie to Mac OS World but working hard to get over it

I don't believe anyone has had any luck getting the Atheros chipset wifi to work at all.

 

If your wifi isn't integrated into your motherboard, your best bet would be to replace it with Broadcom Chip based wifi mini-card like the Dell Trumobile Card I'm using-- You can find one on Ebay for $10-$20--Or to purchase a compatible USB WiFi Dongle at Best Buy for use with OSX--just look for the Mac Logo on the box.

It a step-by-step guide for installing OSX on a thinkpad with instructions on how to get the Atheros wifi working, it may fix your problems.
