marcuscw Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 hi all i've been tryin to get osx 10.5.2 running on my dell inspiron 640m. I used the Kalyway 10.5.2 install DVD and Gparted Live CD. Everything wen ok, install etc, after install and reboot I get to the grey screen with apple logo and loading thingy and than a blue screen pops up for 1 second and than a black screen, just like in the Getting Leopard Working on Inspiron 1525 topic. I tried the waiting 11:20min thing but that didnt work for me, so I hooked up an external monitor and hit Fn+F8 to switch to it, the screen appeared but it was all stretched out, so I cant get past the "Create an apple account" part! I only see the upper part of the screen, its stretched out with white lines across it, when I pull the monitor plug out of my laptop, the same stretched out screen appears on my laptop screen for 2 seconds and than it turns black again. The Apple loading screen appears fine though. Does anyone have an idea what i could try or point me to a usefull thread? specs: Processor Core Duo Processor speed 1.66GHz Centrino Yes Amt of RAM 1024 MB Graphics hardware Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (screen properties says: Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuscw Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 i found someone with the same problem, and he said the following fixed it: One Track's Method + change AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext + PC_EFI V8.0 as I dont really know what these things do, can someone tell me which one is likely to fix my screen problem? It might save me some time instead of havin to try all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcuscw Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 lol i'm an f'ing idiot when installing i didnt choose to install the gm950 video drivers... now it works. so if anyone has this problem, when installing the OS choose the right video drivers. it didnt even go black after the apple logo just instantly worked w00h00.
