Vteckz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi, Ok so let me FIRST just say im noob to this whole x86 business. My system is as follows HP Pavillion DV9021tx 2.0Ghx Core 2 Duo 2GB Ram 2x 100GB segate 7200rpm HDD 512mb Geforce Go 7600 Intel Wireless etc I am running version 10.4.6 HoTISO DVD Now OSX is installed and running fine. Macvidia driver 1.0.81 Sound works with Azalia Plugin No hardware acceleration tho!!!! which really sucks! ANYWAY..... How the heck do i get to see the Boot graphics apon startup??????? All i see when OSX boots is the stupid darwin boot text. ...... Other forums tell me to change the BOOT GRAPHICS option to YES in the "com.apple.Boot.plist" file. PROBLEM IS......This is already set to Yes!!!!. ?? :S Any help would be much appreciated Also anyone who can help guide me to getting my hardware acceleration running properly???

Purple Puppy Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Install the 10.4.8 of OSX. Trust me, it's worth it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45104-osx-boot-graphics-s/#findComment-322355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idividebyzero Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Get 10.4.8, Im not sure why you got 10.4.6. 4.8 is a lot better. To get rid of darwin text delete the "-v" that is probably in there.

asap18 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Check in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration for com.apple.Boot.plist check that Boot Graphics is set to Yes and kernel flags does NOT have a -v.

Vteckz Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Check in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration for com.apple.Boot.plist check that Boot Graphics is set to Yes and kernel flags does NOT have a -v. Thanks for the quick reply guys Yes i am in the proccess of download 10.4.8 ..... i am about 70% done. Just another noob question.....what should i replace the -v with?? should it be blank...i.e "<string></string>", or should i remove the line completely? Thanks for all the input Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45104-osx-boot-graphics-s/#findComment-322372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
