Anyone try installing the deadmoo image on a Dell Dimension 2400? It's an
Intel Celeron D 2.4GHz processor, Intel 845GV chipset, and Integrated Intel
Extreme 3D Graphics (82845G).
After much wrangling, I got the image bootable, but as soon as it gets to
the login screen, it gets all wonky. The graphics are all but
indecipherable. It drops to some sort of greyscale halftoning. I can barely
make out the icons well enough to open System Preferences, then Display
properties. I BELIEVE it says it's in 800×600 at 256-color mode, but I
can't read the text well enough to swear to it. The mouse cursor disappears
as soon as I click on one of the settings, only to be brought back by
clicking on the menu at the top of the screen. Near as I can tell, it
doesn't believe any other video modes are available, and I can't find any
place to see what video hardware it thinks it's using. It's by far the most
frustrating computing experience I've ever had! When I started in safe mode
(-x), the initial greyscale apple screen comes up fine, but as soon as it
brings up the login screen it's all FUBAR'd again.
Since it seems to be designed with low-end hardware in mind (845 chipset,
Celeron D), I'd think it would be able to handle the integrated graphics,
too. Anyone have any insight?
