Retromoe Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 So i decided to retry installing Mac on my Dell Insprion 9300, Im also a total newb to this, i did do my searching for the drivers but no luck, installation goes perfectly i even hear the mac start up sound and the guy speaking but just its White blank screen. So if someone can really help me it would mean alot. Installing : Kalyway 10.5.1, i only have the option to select older ati drivers (x1900 and x1xxx) and thats it. Which kalyway iso is going to be able to provide ATI X300's driver? Computer : Dell Insprion 9300 100GB Hd Intel Centrino ATI X300 Mobility radeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 None. But if you don't choose any "driver" the x300 should still work in VESA mode (mine does). It just won't ever be fully supported - no QE/CI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromoe Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I still did choose 1 driver and it still didnt work, I think ill go try the 2nd driver and get back to you guys. I cannot select 2 drivers right? Just making sure although the installation said dont select 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retromoe Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 just got it up and running, it looks fantastic i think ill be installing it on my desktop soon. although my internet isnt working any patches or anything avaliable for this? its a Intel ® PRO/Wireless 2200BG usb ports work fine, keyboard and everything else, oh yeah also the sound. When i get the internet up and running is it safe for me to update it or should i just leave it? edit : Wireless * This was the hardest part. If you have the Intel 2200BG card, here's how it work. * With the iwi2200.zip file (Located HERE), extract it to the desktop. * Move the iwi2200.kext to /System/Library/Extension chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext chmod -R 755 iwi2200.kext * Move nsGUI.app & networkselector to /Application chown / chmod in same mode of iwi2200.kext reboot f8 / -v at darwin loader * When it comes back you, you'll have to go to Applications, open the Network Selector First. When the options come up it should look like this: i downloaded the zip from that thread but im having trouble " chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext chmod -R 755 iwi2200.kext" i dont really get the "chown - r " thing can someone explain?

You got it running (the graphic driver ATI Radeon x300 mobility) by choosing another driver at customize menu during install? thx... And btw my network card is working, also bluetooth is running except wifi is not running... Intel Wireless... everything else is running suprisingly ok...
