besby11 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hello forum, I just installed a copy of os x86 on my friends computer after having so much luck with it myself, but he has a strange problem that I did not have. after we installed it it booted to the grey apple and then the screen went blank. ive narrowed it down to a screen resaloution/frequency problem and do not know ware to go form here. His card is a BFG Tech 5500 oc'ed edition on a regular pci slot, The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 914v. THNX!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damonc79 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I just finished installing this distribution on a sony vaio vgn-ux390n.... I was having a similar problem. After installation and reboot, gray apple screen, then my screen would go blurry / scrambled / unreadable. I figured if it was showing everything else correctly at first (installation screens, gray apple screen), then it must be the graphics driver that I installed. The ux390n comes with the Intel GMA 950 graphics card, but installing that driver is what kills my screen. So I re-installed with no specific graphic drivers selected, and its working. I'm stuck at 800x600 resolution though... so I'm trying to find updated drivers or something that will work with this computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
