chrismv Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi All, Using nawcom I installed 10.6 from retail DVD on a Dell Inspiron 1520. Right after install it booted and the wireless worked right away. ( YA!). Now the finesse, I hope. Video drivers. I downloaded some driver (called "dell-laptops") but I'm not sure how to install them. In windows it said this laptop had a NVidia 8600 with 512 video ram. Right now it knows it has an NVidia but says 256 and the display is not that sharp. The volume controls work but no audio, firewire works. Lastly. Booting without the CD in the drive gives me a boot menu with a frog on it and then the system crashes. Booting from the CD works fine. After this attempt I'm going to build a tower but I wanted to get my feet wet with a laptop first. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
