Dell 2400 Video Problem

[jasononaharley]

I am able to boot up but the screen is in a very low res black and white. This is a Dell box with onboard video chip (Intel Vesa 3.0). I tried typing "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" at prompt, but still no change. I set the BIOPS to 8MB, but result still same.

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

PS - Video is Video v.3.0 832KB (Intel® 845G/845GL/845GE/845GV Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS)

I had the same problem. I ended up buying a seperate video card. It works much better, but still can get the Kext's to load.

dell dimension 2400 is what i have sir/ma'am and i suggest you find another graphics card instead of that pos intel 845g. Also ethernet works due to broadcom 4400, and sound work quite well.
