Hi,

i try to install SL on a Dell Lat. D520 (bios A02). I use iBoot 3.3.0 and an original Apple SL DVD (10.6.3).
Dell Latitude D520 2G RAM, Intel 945GM/940 GML, audio sigmatel 9200 and Dell 1390 (BCM4311) wireless.

- For installing SL i use the tonymac- installation guide.

The first problem is that the mouse is not working correctly, it is hard to select options. So i use the keyboard to finish the first steps. After the first reboot (iBoot...) everything seems to be right. STEP 17: Selecting the new partition and option -v shows processing information and finally black screen- instead of video. I can hear a short sound, seems to be the first from the video and thats all.

-x -v -f acpi=off PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes and other parameters won't work.
The last installation was XP and Vista- no problems found. MyHack doesn't work (last version)- no files on usb stick.
What can i do to make it work?

Ohh the sound now works, but no video :(
It was an option in bios, multiprocessing <disable> and the sound works form the video.
But no graphics on screen, using left and right navigation keys there is now short error(?) sound.

I also have an macbook pro (el capitan) an i want to use the old D520 too...

Attach output of 'lspci -nn' from Linux Terminal.
 
There seems to be a problem with graphics, native resolution is 1400x1050. Where is the setting "screen resolution" between step 17 and 18? Linux boot is without any problems, graphics and mouse are working (knoppix 3.4).
Linux X-Server has a 1024x768 resolution.

Really old hardware... it predates my experience.
