AllanVS Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Whew ... I have been waiting for this for a few weeks... and today I finally got my system running on Mac OSX. I've only got three problems. 1: My main HDD (with XP SP2) is on a SATA (Read as disk 1), my OSX is on Disk 0 (IDE, Sec. Slave) so I have to change my boot drive in bios when I want to change OS's. 2a: in OSX my sound doesn't work. (onboard chip). (see 4th post) 2b: in OSX my D-Link DWLG510 wireless dosen't work 2c: in OSX my Logitech KB and Mouse won't work (BUT did on my iBook G3) 2d: in OSX my ATI Radeon X300SE/T video card isn't showing up in ATI Tools. 3: I have to boot it as Safemode because regular mode wont work (see 4th post) Other then that, it is good. I've yet to install anything else, but I will eventually. One thing I noted, I had to partition a RAW harddrive (my 120GB Samsung) but it all works well.

Hagar Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 2a & 3 are unusual, the rest is to be expected. 1 may be your problem. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3804-installed-on-d915gav/#findComment-24197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanVS Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Well thanks for the helpful insite ... perhaps you can give me some suggestions on what I can do to get the system to boot in normal mode? (Oh, I'm on OSX86 now) ... When I attempt to load in normal mode I get a message to the extent of "You must now restart your computer. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds or press reset". And it shows up in about 4 languages.

AllanVS Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 ok, so I'm able to boot w/ -F and get the sound (-F bypasses the config file...) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3804-installed-on-d915gav/#findComment-24219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanVS Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Since I have 1GB Dual Channel Ram, I decided to take out my ATI Video card and see what would happen if I ran Mac OSX on my Intel video drivers ... well it works WONDERFULLY. No problems, can see up to 1024x768x75Hz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3804-installed-on-d915gav/#findComment-24513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiZMaC Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Since I have 1GB Dual Channel Ram, I decided to take out my ATI Video card and see what would happen if I ran Mac OSX on my Intel video drivers ... well it works WONDERFULLY. No problems, can see up to 1024x768x75Hz You should be able to hit 1280x1024 @ 75Hz for CRT and 60Hz for LCD (if the LCD supports 1280) ... I haven't tried connecting my 22inch CRT monitor yet to see what that max possible viewing rate is... I'll test and post the results soon. Cheers- T. *** UPDATE *** I've managed to hit 2048x1536 @ 80Hz on the CRT Display - I also increased the ram buffer to 32MB ... Simply Put *STUNNING* I think I'll stick with 1600x1200 @ 85Hz *** Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3804-installed-on-d915gav/#findComment-24514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
