ok guys...need some real help here.....
I was reading and searching and was looking at Kext installation etc.
I d/l'd and installed a .pkg file that had a bunch of ATI and nVidia drivers...even ones for the 8xxx (I have a 8400m GS 128 Mb).
Anyways I saw where someone had luck by deleting a certain kext after they had done a similiar install on their Dell Vostro....so of course I deleted that kext and rebooted....
now its an all black screen and I can get anything. I had 10.5.7 running an dnow black screen. Granted, my wireless, audio, and keyboard/touchpad didn't work either but it was running. I use a USB keyboard and mouse. What do I do? I'm thinking I have to START over with another install as I don't have a screen to see whats going on even to add a kext back. I'm a Windows guy. Thats all I'm used to. I can build my own PCs and fix 85% of their problems. I want to learn a MAC cause they're "so much better" but this is getting frustrating. I only want to get the hackintosh up and running to play with OS X..and if I like it, here comes an iMac or Macbook Pro. Please help!-----Inspiron 1520
