EpicSquare Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I have iAtkos S3 on an ASUS 1005HA and when I boot I see the silver apple and the loading spinner, then after that goes away, all I get is a blank grey screen. No cursor or anything. I'm pretty sure I selected all the right drivers at install. I tried verbose boot but everything seems to load ok and the verbose boot dissapears and is likewise replaced by the grey screen. Please advise.

oldnapalm Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Does it have GMA950 video? Did you select VGA - Intel - EFI string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicSquare Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Does it have GMA950 video? Did you select VGA - Intel - EFI string? No I did not select EFI String. I guess I'll try it later thanks, but right now the screen works so long as I don't install any vga drivers at all... Now however I can't click or type but I can move my mouse (Via trackpad). Any advice on that one? EDIT: Nvm the screen works but at 800x600 resolution. So graphics Drivers are still needed badly. I'll try the efi string but Im not sure how to install it...

EpicSquare Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Is the efi string that bunch of numbers that go in com.boot.plist or something? Sorry I'm very new to all this. I can't find the boot.plist its not in my extras directory.... Oh btw the laptop has gma 945 video card. Please help me guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 There's an "EFI string" option under "VGA - Intel" in iATKOS, just select it and the drivers that got the gray screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
