Hey all,
I have semi-successfully installed SL following Tony's guides. However, with my Radeon 4850, the only way to get a GUI was to use the "-x" flag for safe mode.
Now I wanted to get rid of this and installed LegacyATI4800Controller.kext from netkas.org.
The only change was that now the screen goes blank immediately after the boot process and I am not able to get a GUI, not even with "-x".
Two questions: what can I do to get at least my safe mode back?
And secondly and more importantly: What exactly am I supposed to do with my graphics card. Is there an up-to-date guide for these things? I most probably got confused and incorrectly installed a kext that was not really necessary. Some people say that only a change in the boot.plist is necessary, others say that I have to install kernel extensions...
Could someone please shed some light on this for me?
