Screen size incorrect on install

Postby Blisterpak » Fri Nov 27, 2009 11:41 am

Hello- I'm trying to do the snow Leopard enabler install on my S10 but it doesn't seem to recognize the screen size and consequently the buttons to push to continue the installation after choosing the language are unavailable because they are down out of the active screen area. When I go to the system profiler there are no entries under "Displays" or "Display Connector". Anybody know what's going on here? Any help sure would be appreciated!

Yes, I created a USB with SL and then installed enabler vers. 1.1.2 (I have seen references to later enabler versions, could that be the problem? if so where are they available?)

You can get the last version here: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3280

I recomend you to install SL with the enabler version 1.1.8, because 1.1.9 and 1.1.10 are giving some problems with Kernel Panics.

I have the 1.1.8 version, and I would try to upload it later.
