nedge2k Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi all, Just installed the latest JaS 10.4.8 image (patched). Install went fine but on first boot, I get the boot screen but then it freezes. After a second or so I can hear music/sounds but the screen is still frozen. It seems to respond to keypresses too. I thought it was a driver issue so I re-installed, double checking which drivers I actually needed but same thing happened. When I "-v" at boot, it says "login window application started" and just stays that way. I'm a total n00b to OSX so any advice is welcome. My specs are (if it helps): Compaq V5030 15.4" (1280x800) display AMD Turion x64 (1.8Ghz) ATi Xpress 200m GFX card 1GB RAM 40GB Toshiba HDD TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedge2k Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks but I figured it out in the end. My own fault really, should have read up on my gfx card first. Basically, I installed some ATi drivers for my card thinking that, as my card wasn't mentioned and the name was similar, it might work with my card. What I didn't realise was that my card was already supported (kind of) natively and that I didn't need to install any ATi drivers whatsoever. Re-installed with no ATi drivers and all was good Although my ethernet didn't work and I can't switch my WLAN card on but that's another story for another topic...
