lilSoldier Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi, I am using an Intel GMA 900, and when I go to install Leopard, it simply hangs on a blue screen. The same happens if I use the "paperclip trick". If I connect an external monitor, however, it comes up saying that it is "out of range", and comes up with numbers like "149KHz". Also, unlike previous versions of Mac, like tiger, it never comes up with "GFX: Family specific matching fails" (in verbose mode, and in tiger it also used to come up with ones for sound etc...), so that may have something to do with it. This is with the Leo4All disc. Also, I tried ToH RC2 disc, and that was much more successful with the paperclip, but it always used to come up with an error telling me that the essentials package could not be validated. I am desperate to get Leo on my laptop (specs in my sig) so help on getting either of these discs working would be greatly appreciated.

eddie11c Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I tried to address this in my most recent update(v2). I had no way to test it personally, but if you do, please report back. Have you tried forcing the refresh rate? "graphics mode"="1024x768x32@60" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilSoldier Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Wow, thanks for the superfast reply! I shall try your refresh rate thing now. Firstly, do I need the quotation marks in or not, and secondly, is there something I can do to update my copy of Leo4all, as I just spent about 24 hours (very slow connection) downloading the current one! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I believe you need the quotes in there, but try both ways. This will still require an external monitor I think though. I released patches that you would apply to the original ISO for the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilSoldier Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks, one more thing before I restart and try it, is it normal to get error messages that say something about invalid code signatures, as I seem to get about three of them before I reach the blue screen (they don't pop up or anything, its just something I noticed in verbose mode) Thanks!

lilSoldier Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi, I tried it with the "graphics mode" extension, with and without quotes, and I had the same error message come up on the screen about refresh rates/timings. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Try getting the patches to apply to your ISO, they are smaller then a whole new ISO and hopefully will help you. Other than that I have no direct experience with GMA900 graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
