downs666 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello all, This is my second hackintosh, have stumbled my way through. I'm know computer tech or network admin that is for sure, I get by with a bit of luck and lots of reading. SO, I had a kalyway CD here for AMD/Intel of OSX 10.5.8 and surprisingly got that up with little effort. I'm looking to turn this old laptop into a media server, the screen of the laptop is a bit screwed the last third doesn't work, so its been interesting. The only real thing I think I am missing out of the box that I need is vga support. I have an external monitor setup to battle the screwed up laptop screen and its not receiving any input. My display properties are stuck at 1024 by 768. I looked around a bunch today and ended up spending the entire day trying updates to snow leopard and mavericks from a site that shall not be mentioned here. Decided to give that all up because I have MOST of what I need. Might also need some support with my usb not recognizing my external HD. OTher then that I have a networked appled laptop which is goal 1. Thanks for all the help team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
