Id recommend you to use a external VGA screen for the install process. it's recognized fastly and the small eee screen doesnt nag you.

I tried to use a VGA monitor but it will only use it as a secondary monitor (e.g. drag things from one screen to the other screen) i tried to drag the installer to my external display but i cannot click the bar at the top to drag it because it is covered up by the menu bar (i think its called) does anybody no how to enable tabbing through menus whilst in the OS X Installer Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183439-eee-pc-701-os-x-install-screen-cut-off-help/#findComment-1248422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write it exactly as it given (not Graphics Mode=800x480x32 but "Graphics Mode"="800x480x32") It just wont do anything i type it in like you said with the "" but it just doesn't do anything the installer is booted off a memory stick (usb key or whatever you call em) with Chameleon bootloader v2 which i installed to make the memory stick bootable...

djj3w Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 *Bump* Help Please?! You type in the graphics mode at the boot prompt where it counts down at the darwin bootloader? Try plugging the monitor in while the eee is off as well.. and press Fn+F5 twice before it boots. this will switch your default monitor to the external, so the installer can run at it's default 1024x768 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183439-eee-pc-701-os-x-install-screen-cut-off-help/#findComment-1258057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey I am trying to install iAtkos Leopard onto my 8GB ASUS EEE PC 701 "SD XP" (I think it is) when I start the installer the bottom is cut off so you cannot see where to click things such as Continue Accept. etc. Is their anyway to fix this, thanks in advance I've been having this issue too but I finally managed resolve this by attaching a VGA monitor. However you want the VGA monitor to be Display 2 ONLY, NOT extend the desktop or mirror it. If you boot iAtkos v7 and let it proceed to load the installer the VGA monitor will eventually switch to Extended mode and the fn+F5 key will not work anymore, so before you proceed to load the installer, that is when the boot: prompt appears, press fn+F5 several times (give a couple seconds for the command to work before pressing again). This toggles the options: Mirror, Extended, Display 2, Display 1. You want to get the VGA (Display 2) working and the LCD OFF. Then proceed to load the installer at the boot: prompt. Do not use mirror or extended. The Lcd will switch off after toggling fn+F5 several times. Now you will use the VGA ONLY without the LCD and you will see all the Buttons that were cut off before. I still haven't gotten the iAkos v7 to finish an install. But that maybe because I tried using a DVD-RW instead of a DVD-R.
