Honu Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi everybody, I look in many forums / web pages, about the "blue screen" problem on GM900 serie. Is the Wire (Dongle) trick the only solution to bypass the blue screen at boot ..? For my case, everything is ok when i plug an external LCD, i've tried a lot of different configurations in OSX, mirror, laptop lcd in first or second screen (who know.. !) ... nothing, always stucked in this $!?*$ blue screen at boot... Is there any other solution than the wire short ..? Thanks for your help, 10.4.7 Jas installed on external 20Go USB drive Dell D410 Centrino 1.73 Ghz 915GM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32263-gm915-wire-trick-the-only-solution/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightertimes Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Honu, I have exactly the same laptop as you (great 12.1" screen eh?) Anyways I have always had this problem when using Jas 10.4.7, however when I used to deadmoo 10.4.1 image it used to boot first time every time! So I guess it must be some kernal changes in the meantime?? I would love to know what!!

Honu Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hello brightertimes, yes like this notebook too, the screen is not so fantastic for my taste, i'm taking a lot of pictures and colors are not accurate on the D410. But it is light ... and not too expensive. Got an old compaq M300 ... screen really better but only PIII 800 .. it is smaller than the D410, but not so fast. So speaking about osx, are you using the 10.4.1 actually ..? I wonder if there is some tweak to do in the kext files or something like this... i'm not a specialist of the osx world... Thanks to share your experience ... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32263-gm915-wire-trick-the-only-solution/#findComment-226421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb2k Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 it's all in the forum afair: 10.4.1 = VESA 10.4.7 = INTEL DRIVER Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32263-gm915-wire-trick-the-only-solution/#findComment-226459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesley Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 The bug in the native Intel driver still prevents 'normal' booting for GMA900 series.

Honu Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 OK, so it's the only solution at the moment ... But there is certainly a solution for using Vesa in the 10.4.7 ..? Did OSX revert to vesa if i delete 915 drivers from the system folder ..?

Honu Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 ... just tried the wire trick, it's work (single wire)... but same blue screen when reverting from "stand by". So the trick do not work in this case (at least for me).
