codylc Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I just got done installing Jas 10.4.8 (Version 2 i believe) on my Dell Latitude D820. When I start up (I haven't configured any dual boot options yet), of course I see Darwin flash, the nice big (grey & white) apple (which looks normal), and then random white horizontal lines will flash across the screen. After that the results vary, it'll load the OS but it'll look really narrow and I can't see the mouse, although i can click around and move it, its just missing and I'm guessing where I'm clicking. I managed to click around to get to the display settings and it was showing 800 x 1280 res, without any other options. If it doesn't do that, the screen will be rotated, can see the mouse, but it's still in that 800 x 1280 res. Or the screen will be black. It seems pretty fair to say that it's a video issue, right? Here's more system specs: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz with one core disabled in bios 1 GB of RAM Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Seagate 100 GB SATA HDD Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M I'm sure this is simple, but I'm still SUCH a noob at this that I can't figure it out besides it being the wrong video driver.

codylc Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Update: I tried boinkytwo's fix: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=53100 Now when I start up, it gets to the apple logo, the status circle(?) spins for a while and then freezes. Booted with -v, didn't see any errors or panics. I see that it finds the video card to be a GeForce Go 7200...which is incorrect. Any ideas?

computerdan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have the exact same system as codylc and am experiencing the following problems with ToH's release of 10.5.0 Leopard: Video cannot be changed from 1024x768 (whereas my screen is the SXGA+ at 1680x1050) No sound (like mostly everyone else with the D820) Cannot manage to install MBR correctly, so I have to use bootcd all the time Any help would be greatly appreciated!
