Hello, I am new at this forum and have tried to solve my problem with the search function but I could not manage it. So I started a new topic.

 

Firstly, my PC Hardware:

 

Motherboard: MSI P6N SLI

CPU: Intel E6750

RAM: 2x1 GB DDR-2 RAM (800 MHz)

Graphics: ATI Sapphire HD 3870

WLAN-Card: Hercules Wireless PCI HWGPCI-54

 

I could install Kalyway 10.5.2 using this this guide with slightly changed settings.

My install settings:

Fonts: left as default

Additional Languages: German

Kernel: kernel_92_nforce ONLY

Graphics: no driver seleced

Audio: left as default

Network: default plus forcedeth

Mobo_Chipset: left as default

Third Applications: left as default

Patches: all unselected

AMD Patches: all unselected

 

Then I could boot the OS using the -x parameter (without parameter I get only a screen like this:

Then I installed the Kalyway 10.5.3 Update (no new kernel selected).

 

Unfortunately I had different problems as I used the -x parameter:

- no sound

- small resultion

- my Onboard LAN was not detected (I didn't the WLAN card to be detected at all) --> no internet

 

So I tried to install the ATI driver from this page.

Then it was strange:

Two times (I've installed the whole OS about 5 times yet) I could install the driver and restart one time with full 1920x1080 resolution and without using the -x parameter. But if i booted the second time I had only a black screen after the white Apple booting screen. "-x" does not help, the screen is still black after the booting screen.

The other times the screen was already black at the first reboot, again -x does not help, I had to reinstall the whole OS.

 

The two times I could start without -x audio worked and my ethernet device was detected. It was shown that I have an ethernet connection but the internet didn't work. Perhaps I have not yet the perfect driver for my onboard LAN.

 

Here my questions:

How can I install the graphics driver for the HD 3870 correctly?

Where can I get a working driver for my onboard LAN or do I only have to change the LAN-settings?

Is there any driver for my WLAN-card for Kalyway?

 

Thank you!
