justry Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Ok so this is my FIRST day ever using a mac. I downloaded and installed kalyway 10.5.2 on an external USB HDD (I'm running windows 7 on the internal HDD). I used EasyBDC to add the entry for mac to the windows bootloader. Everything went smoothly except for the audio driver, but it worked right after I installed a couple of kexts. So now everything works nice except for a few minor problems: -Resolution is stuck at 1024x768, but after a lot of googling I found that unfortunately my VGA card (ATI Raedon 4350) isn't yet compatible with leopard...oh well... Edit: I also can't play videos!! I'm trying to play AVI files (DivX encoded), and they show up totally black both in quicktime and VLC!!! Is that because of the VGA card or is it a codec problem?? Quicktime can play mpg files however, but VLC's still giving me a black screen. I tried to mess around with the preferences>video>output module. Tried them all, but no luck...(Well, the ascii display works, but I'm not going to watch THAT!!) -I have to unplug then replug the ps2 keyboard every single time I start leopard in order for it to work, which is very annoying. -Lastly, I can only see two partitions from the internal HDD; the one with windows 7, and another one (I originally have 5 partitions). There is absolutely nothing special about that second partition, and I don't really know why leopard picked that one in particular!! Anyway, now I can't access my paritions from within leopard. The disk utility also only shows two partitions, and even shows my internal HDD as "128 GB", although it should be 640 GB. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me out! I also want to ask a question: The darwin bootloader is now installed on my internal HDD on the windows 7 partition right? Not on the external USB drive? Because when I added the entry for mac in EasyBCD, it pointed to C: (the windows 7 partition). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
