wws12 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I would like to install OS X on my core i3 system. However, my motherboard only has a VGA output. Can I install it or will I need a extra graphics card to do so? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! wws12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wws12 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Anyone? Its a Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I assume you are using a Intel Core I3 with HD3000 or HD4000. No there is no VGA frame buffer for the intel GPU so you will have to purchase a standalone GPU to be able to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Dev Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 HD2000 is unsupported and will never be supported. So it will never allow the install screen to appear without the removal of a lot of kexts. Same out come as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to use the DVI port to install, or can I use the vga port on the card? Thank you and Happy New Year! It's the 1gb version by the way.

Sorry for bugging you, but I have one more question. I have a PS/2 keyboard. Will this be able to be used while installing? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
