Users with GMA 950 / X3100 Real Macs needed here, Help us to fix the resolution change for hackintosh users Options

[enb14]

Guys I need some users to give me their ioregdum from a real mac with GMA950 and 3100 the goal is to enable resolution change and to remove the arctifacts at all like current titan/natit for this time for GMA950 /3100, if you want to help us just do this on a real macs and post your txt file here

ioreg -l -w0 > ioreg.txt


Please specify if you have a GMA950 or a 3100 by the way do this using 10.5.0.

Well I only get the funny curser when using Firefox, other than that everything else is good. I would like to get it to boot as native as I can though.

My Vendor ID: 8086
Device ID: 2772

Both Windows/Mac

Natit work on desktop with GMA950:
-AppleIntelGMA950* (native)
-AppleIntelIntegaratedFramebuffer.kext (native)
-Natit.kext injecting
But yet some global trouble for me:
GMA work pefrectly, but if i played presentation in Keynote that stunned my ihack and HANG SCREEN come here
How did cure it ?

Hi All, hi paulicat,
Thanks a lot. It works on my HP Compaq 6710b with GMAX3100 card.
QE is listed as "Not Supported" but the actual trouble I have is my mouse pointer.
It is currently made up of 2 broken vertical bars about one and a half inch apart.
I had to do some trial and error to locate the actual click-point of the mouse!
Please any idea of how to fix this? I have rebooted the system but with no difference.
I have deleted AppleIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

Device ID: 2a02 8086
Thanks a lot.

@omegax: just change the resolution of your display to 1680x1000 instead of 1680x1050. This will do the trick.
I have the same notebook...

[omegax]

Thanks. Found the solution myself late last night by chance. Now if only I could get the NIC to work.
If you have the same laptop, is you Broadcom 5787 working and if yes, what kext and configurations did you do? What about the SoundMax and the Intel Wireless 3945ABG card. Thanks.
I tried the AppleBCM5701 kext (after hexedit-ing it with the 1693 - the device id) Now the system boots up to displaying the message below twice then just hangs there.
AppleBCM5701Ethernet: 1 1659 setPowerLevels -returning early, have a 5721. onoff=, fPciDeviceId
Actually, I must say I am a little confused as there is a posting on InsanelyMac where the person used the HEX value of his card model (169C for a BCM 5788) as the replacement value when editing the driver file. This didnt work at all for me as the card wasn't even detected at all (169B for the BCM 5787) but using the value 1693 hangs the system as described above. And I added 1693 to the Info.plist file too.
Thanks.

[KlyX]

afaik the 5787 isn't working yet
neither the wifi adapter... They're working on a driver, but the coder does not have the hardware he need to create a real working one atm.
I bought an wifi usb adapter with ralink chip which is good supported... use search for more details
I hope, I'll get it by today

[errandwolfe]

Guys, please let's not get off topic for this thread. The results here are confusing enough for now without suddenly mixing discussion of NIC's into the thread.

[KlyX]

sorry Back to topic now

@paulicat

Thanks a lot man !

Your natit.kext solve my X3100 problem on my Acer 5315 laptop.

I don't have to use an external monitor anymore.

And it's accelerated at 1280x800 which is laptop native resolution...

[errandwolfe]

Please help us get the GMA950 and GMA X3100 working with PC EFI

Please take a look at this thread over on Netkas' forum. Please if you have access to any of the hex dumps being requested it would be appreciated if you could pass those along.

I'd actually rather stick to Titan. It's less hassle to change a kext when things are updated than edit com.Apple.Boot.plist, but that might just be me...

[errandwolfe]

For some of us though Titan and Natit don't work as a solution, so I am just thankful that someone is pursuing another way.

[Azurael]

I can't see how it's going to make any difference, I'm afraid. The same thing is being done as Natit, just earlier on in the boot process. Plus, the only way we have to obtain the string is from a working Mac or Hackintosh, so the card will be initialised exactly the same way as it would on say, my machine, which evidently doesn't work for you...

Hello!

This is my first post. I want to thank everyone for helping out the community. I've read all of this post here, and I had struggles getting the GMAX3100 to work for 1280x800.
I had to use an External monitor to do this. However, I managed to get the resolution to work for my laptop system below using SwitchResX (not SwitchResXControl). I used the Vendor ID and Device ID from the "About this Mac Graphic/Display Profile". Using the program, SwitchResX, go to Setting of window bar and click on "Other unattached display", I entered the Vendor ID 8086 in the Vendor ID box and the Device ID 2a02 in the Product ID box and clicked "OK". Click Apply and enter your admin password and close program, may ask you to save, save it and asks for admin password again. Reboot computer and I got the 1280x800 resolution using the Internal screen with Core Image Hardware accelerated QE Supported. Here are the 3 graphic .kext files for the Acer Aspire 5920-6470.

Here they are:  GMAX3100_ASPIRE_5920.zip ( 295.82K ) Number of downloads: 1102


Pic :  gma3100.jpg ( 241.83K ) Number of downloads: 847

My System:

Acer Aspire 5920-6470
Leopard 10.5.1 (working) Followed with some file structure on USB stick http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...amp;mode=linear
GMAX3100 video (working) Using SwitchResX
Vendor ID 0x8086
Device ID 0x2a02
Internal Speakers (working)
Mic (not working, but may have solution)
Acer built in webcam (working)
Sleep (not working yet, it just reverts back to normal after trying to Sleep the computer)

*** Make sure you delete the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext while you are installing the 3 graphic kext files.

@gr8mac7

Yessss! It works!
Thank You Sir!
I've made all steps on Toshiba A200-1MY (X3100) without external monitor. After restart i can see 1280x800. It is worth to add that I've filled up only vendor and device, no need to add frequences. It was worth not to go to sleep

You're welcome! Yes, that is correct, you don't need to enter the freq info. Just use the Vendor and Device IDs

Enjoy,

So far I have been unsuccessful with Gr8mac7's solution. That really isn't saying much though...

All I have really been able to test are the 3 kext files he included. Using those 3 I get the same results as usual, black/powered down LCD with only external monitor working.

Unfortunately I have not been able to try the SwitchRes app to modify the system. You need to boot with the GMAX3100 kexts in place. Of course doing so only gives me my external display acting as a secondary monitor. The problem is I can not seem to bring up display preferences using the keyboard sequence I had noted somewhere else....So I can not switch my external display to the primary display, so I basically have a useless system since everything displays on my dead LCD.

Certainly if someone else knows how to make that switch so they can work on the external display then please do try this method and let us know the results.

Hello everybody i have an intel gma 950 and i am having no luck with the natit kext included with the thread and the 10.5.1 kexts the problem with the two drivers is that the internal laptop lcd panel will show a blue background but the external monitor port will display the desktop properly with the correct resolution and with quartz and core image acceleration... i was wondering if there was another driver or combination of drivers that may help me solve this problem.
thanks

errandwolfe if you have another computer you may try connect with vnc/screen sharing, I do that when I test an unsupported resolution by ma CRT monitor, so with my other computer I connect via VNC and I can manipulate the Display Preference.

I will try the switchresX thing with my dell (with NV8400).

[errandwolfe]

Thank you Macgirl for the brilliant but yet should have been so obvious solution!

Using Screen Sharing I have been able to log into my laptop with all the kexts loaded and no external display attached. The result is we now have some information.

1. Quartz Extreme and Core Image are being enabled.
2. I am able to change the resolution however even dropping down to 640x480 the LCD does not power on.
3. I can switch between color levels, however no selection powers on the LCD.
4. I am NOT able to change the refresh rate. I do not know if this is as a result of being logged in on screen sharing or not. Personally I am inclined to say if it will let me change the display resolution it would let me change the refresh rate. If someone with two working Macs can use screen sharing to test that it would be appreciated.

I am now going to try using SwitchResX and see if that gets me anywhere.
