SL Works only on VGA Output, help needed.

Lately I've been trying to prepare my 8.0GB USB Flashdrive for the Snow Leopard Installation. I kept having problems with the GUI: instead of the installer it showed only a GRAY SCREEN. I tried all kinds of kexts, and finally the GUI loaded flawlessly. (Copied all the kexts from EasyEFI 2.1 preboot.dmg in my /Extra + one GMA950 kext which came with a DSDT).

After installing the OS, I had the same problem with the GRAY SCREEN [but this time it happened while booting in the OS, obviously]. I've tried to copy all the kexts from my flashdrive into SLE, but it didn't work.

Somehow I found out that the grayscreen it's not a problem anymore and everything works fine WHILE my laptop is connected to my TV via a VGA output cable.

 

I'm having a Toshiba Satellite A110-293 laptop [core solo @1,87 GHZ, 2GBRAM, gma950 graphics] and this time i'm very close to making it work. I'd realy appreciate an idea of how to get it work without the VGA output.

Thank you very much!

Alex.

OK! So I've done a lot of research today, f&* up my system a few times and here I am.

I've read some entries round here and someoune said that the appleIntegratedFramebuffer doesn't recognize the display [that was his case]. Now I remember that I had 10.5.5 distro version running just fine with my internal LCD display.

My question is: Will my 10.6 system work with a 10.5.5 appleIntelIntegra..Framebuffer kext? Will it help?

Thx in advance.

 

L.E I've solved the problem. If anyone is experiencing the same problem, here is how I fixed it.

Natit.kext (the one for 950gma on kexts.com) -- Intel --> /S/L/E
SMBIOSEnabler.kext --> /Extra/Extensions.
Repair permissions, blabla.

This should do the trick. I wish you luck!

Try using the hotkey to change from external to inter display, it may work!

 

EDIT: feel like an idiot now..
