chmod-uk Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Go into your bios and set the video ram to 8meg, it's probably only 1 at the moment.

drho2004 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hell I too got a hold of an old 1150. Got 10.4.8 instlaled but no color. i was aware that i needed to changed the color depth from 1MB to 8MB, but the BIOS that came with the laptop was A06, i flashed it to A07 and I still do not get the option in the BIOS to change the vid mem from 1MB to 8MB. is there another DELL bios i can use that will work with this 1150 that WILL give me the option? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82574-help-dell-inspiron-1100-has-no-color/#findComment-607586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
