Latitude E6500 10.6.3 black screen help

[EinsteinTaylor]

Looking at the HCL on the OSX wiki, this looks like this should be a pretty straight forward install. I have done numerous iDeneb and Kalyway installs of 10.4 and 10.5 over the years, but this is my first attempt an [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] setup.

 

I have the dual mode 10.6.3 Snow Leopard/Boot Camp disc for install. From [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] if I give the -x -v flags I am able to successfully install but if I don't the screen blanks when launching the installer.

 

Once the system is installed and I use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to boot into the OS the only way it will launch is by again giving the -x -v flags however booting into safe mode always is less than ideal as I can't even load thumb drives.

 

Can anyone maybe point me in the right direction? The "About my Mac" recognizes the exact model of the video card(I believe it is the 260M but it might be the 160M, it's shut down right now but I can find out if that's critical to this)

 

Hope this is enough info to get a few tips.

 

Thanks!
