Rhapsody Guru Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hey guys. I almost have a winner. I installed OSx86 JaS 10.4.7 to my laptop and all my hardware detected PERFECTLY. I finished the install with no hitches. Unfortunately, when I got into the actual OS, my stupid display becomes black with white specks and some other artifacts. I hear the welcome to OS X video perfectly fine and I am in the system, but my ATI Radeon 9600/9700 isn't displaying the video correctly. Oddly enough... I could see the GUI on the installer DVD PERFECTLY FINE! Could this be an issue with the VESA driver? I'm not sure what boot: prompt switches I should put down for a safe-mode display setting. Thank you. Guru Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28975-augh-my-display-is-fscked-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

drjman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Wow you guys are luckY! All i got was a black screen with the cursor. Maybe those colors would have calmed me down. going to try the re-install in a bit.

Skanderup Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Np, if it was directed to me No, you have QE/CI enabled right? But if you install callisto 003 (only one that worked for me) you will have the right resolution and gfx-card, but not QE/CI. That's what bugging me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28975-augh-my-display-is-fscked-up/#findComment-272975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLX Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 never heard about qe/ci... but i installed callisto 008 and it works, i'm just having a problem with the creator's setting of 1680x1050, cause my display only has 1400x1050. now my screen is not displayed completely and cut on the right. it looks way better now than before, but i have no other resolutions to choose Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28975-augh-my-display-is-fscked-up/#findComment-273093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
