sebs8 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I think my screen maybe messed up I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 I installed SL with iAtkos v7 worked fine but was having issue booting up afterwards and it said vga error so I figured well I might as well just install all of them its no harm done it will just auto pick the right driver. BIG MISTAKE. I installed all of the VGA drivers from all sections even though I have nvidia but I had all of the nvididas installed and that wasnt working, so I try booting in just regular "-v" it goes through past the error the screen goes totally black then lights back up but its still a black screen and all around the entire border of a screen there is about a two inch flashing black border its almost like when you put a magnet to a screen and it leaves a mark yeah its like that except its flashing really fast. PLEASE HELP I dont want to screw my screen over! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/202255-huge-problem-urgent/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
debugbr Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 I installed SL with iAtkos v7 worked fine Dude, use pontuation. It's hard to understand what you said. And iATKOS v7 is Leopard, not SL, afaik. Wrong section on the forum? but was having issue booting up afterwards and it said vga error so I figured well I might as well just install all of them its no harm done it will just auto pick the right driver. BIG MISTAKE. When the "readme" says "install only one", you should do that. PLEASE HELP I dont want to screw my screen over! I guess it won't happen until you do something worse than this. lol About the problem: try to reinstall without a driver or installing only the correct one. You must select only one driver for nvidia, afaik. PS: I don't have a nvidia card. Actually, I don't have any offboard card on my laptop. I'm just trying..
