For some of the people using a DESKTOP GMA950:
I have a set of kexts, you can safely install using Kexthelper or by hand,
it's the vanilla kexts for the GMA950 desktop on 10.5.3 and the AppleIntegratedFramebuffer from 10.4.8.
This combination has always given me full QE/CI support with working resolution change.
Hello,
Do you think it will works with an asus P5GC-MX ?
Does the command line is to replace and chmod to root:wheel ?

can you share your kext file? or whatever that make a full display graphics because Quartz Extreme is not supported on my PC.

i tried charles extensions, artifacts are almost gone, but now i cannot see video in frontrow, neither movies, dvds or trailers...
weird...
if i play them in quicktime its ok, but not through frontrow, anyone knows why?
ok, it was because i lost quartz, i reinstalled 10.5.3 gma950 extensions and now its back, but i have artifacts again, jajajaja.
so, which framebuffer i have to use?

Hi, sorry for my poor english...
I had only the 1024x768 resolution.
I have installed charles extensions, but I lost QE.
Than I have extract with Pacifist the GMA950 kext from the Kalyway update 10.5.3.
With KextHelper I have reinstalled and all works fine.
I don't have artifacts at this moment.
And the change of the resolution works fine.

I have Vaio VGN-C240E, w/Intel 945 Integrated video,
Installed Kalyway 10.5.2/w gma950, worked on external monitor, and internal(if external was connected while boot, then disconnected). Both displays appeared in mac system info. Was able to set 1280x1024x32 on external (syncmaster tft) and 1280x800x32 on internal lcd. Unstable behavior.
Then after installing 10.5.3 combo update + 10.5.4 apple update - worked only on external, and it was the only display detected by macos.
No additional drivers installed.
Then added magic string to Boot.plist

Didn't delete any kexts (including framebuffer etc)
Now have only internal lcd fully accelerated working but w/ 1280x768x32.
Have blank space at the botton (1280x32).
If connect external display, have this again

I installed the Intel X3100 drivers from the Kalyway install disk and it works at full resolution (1680x1050) but QE/CI is not enabled and the cursor is garbled, it is split into two pieces about 1" apart horizontally and separated into short horizontal lines spaced about 1/16' vertically (I will attach a screenshot soon). I am not worried about the cursor as it still functions and I have gotten used to it but I would really like to get QE/CI working and paulicat's first X3100 natit.kext did not work. Can anyone help me get it working?

Hope this helps the few of you out there.. It's been tested on a DELL GX620.
Please let me know if you find any problems.
Edit: Make sure you are not loading the Natit.kext when trying this solution, as this was giving me problems. The assumption here is you are running 10.5.3 with support for GMA950 from Kalyway update 10.5.3/ no resolution change possible.
@Yang Yang Yang: This should be a possible solution to your problem, as I'm assuming you're a desktop user.. (0x2772 should be right..) Let me know whether it worked?

Hi, I have an Zepto 3215W Laptop with Intel GMA X3100. I downloaded the Natit.kext and Installed it with that kexthelper. It said "Prey and reboot" but after the reboot I still cant change resolution. It's only 1024x768 but I need 1280x800.
I dont understand much about that framebuffer thing. Please could someone step by step tell me what to do? I have Leo4AllV2

hey there! many thanks to all you guys which did a great job!
i spent a lot effort during the last 2 weeks and now finally got a more or less satisfying solution on my laptop..
i am using a fujitsu-siemens lifebook e8410
(core2duo on gm865 chipset with x3100, display-resolution is 1680x1050)
i am currently running osx 10.5.1 and my gfx-info shows this:
Chipset Model: GMA X3100
Type: Display
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 144 MB
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x2a02
Revision ID: 0x0003
the closest resolution (to the native 1680 x 10
50 one) i can get is 1680 x 10
24(i increased step by step and on 1025 height the screen goes light/blue .. but 1024 looks interesting.. as 1280x1024 is often used.. maybe anywhere in my kext's or somewhere else this is fixed..?! noobish idea..

)
=> the remaining 30 pixel show artefacts..
but however i am satisfied that CI/QE is enabled
my steps are to following
1) create a chameleon-boot-cd (or usb/sdcard/partition..)
2) boot with the cd and then run osx-leopard setup using a retail dvd and boot-parameter "-x" (safemode)
3) 10.5.1 vanilla running.. then add the natit.kext from paulicat
4) delete all gma950 and intelintegratedframe... from library
5) restart.. without -x and use an external display
6) create a customized resolution in switchresx (1680x10
24)
7) reboot -> internal display works well..
(if anyone has problems to understand my bad english, please tell me and i will hopefully be able to improve..)

Hey guys,
I got my laptop to work 100% now with Leo's framebuffer with Natit.kext which I modded for gma.
So far I've only tested it on my laptop. I'm skeptical that it will work for desktops without further modification, but its worth testing.
You need to make sure you replace your existing AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext with the one from real leo.
Move your working framebuffer somewhere outside of /System/Library/Extensions and use ssh to move it back in case you get blue screen.
Here it is:

I've got an unusual problem. Whenever I install ideneb 10.5.4, or any distro for that matter that is 10.5.4, my screen is unusable upon boot. The screen flickers on and off, as well as side to side MANY times a second, which makes it next to impossible to even select shutdown from the menu. This only happens however if I have both cores enabled on my laptop. I have the gma950 driver installed from the ideneb dvd, but should I try and reinstall the driver, or will this not help? Any help would be appreciated.

ive tried every natit.kext and all of paulicat's kext and none worked.....man i regret updating this {censored} stinks...

Ok well I have the x3100 graphics card working with QE/CI on my Fujitsu T4220 SXGA+ tablet. One little issue I have noticed is that OSX crashes without fail when I try to switch to the native resolution. ( 1400x1050 ) I have to use SwitchResX to create the 1400x1024 resolution and it works great except for the missing 26 pixel rows at the bottom of the screen. Is this a driver limitation? I don't have any other monitors to test anything higher than 1440x900 on an external screen.
PAULICAT!!!! if you're out there I need some help or maybe some advice.
I tried using the EFI strings and I was able to get it to select the 1400x1050 without crashing however The screen was stretched out and distorted when I did that. But I was able to get my current setup with EFI strings. If anyone has a working EFI string with Res Change with supports resolutions higher than 1280x1024 that would be awesome. Just give me the HEX and I'll add in my EDID into it. Thanks guys. Good luck all.
Oh one more thing. Has anyone gotten their x3100 to work with the newer 3100FB.kext, version 1.5.24? If seen alot of success wit 1.5.18 but I was hoping that maybe the newer version will fix my resolution issue. And also has anyone gotten regular res change with stretching working? Couldn't figure that one out either.

Ideally would like to hit 1900x1200. Windows didn't have any trouble at that res. I can scale back animations and wackiness Leo does.

I have used the Kalway 10.5.2 DVD with the old framebuffer from tiger on my Sony VAIO SZ notebook with no problems, other than minor tearing (I can live with that). For some reason, the new method with the Leo framebuffer and the Alkor kext causes this notebook to default to the external VGA port, leaving the internal LCD blank (white). I am at a loss as to why 10.5.2 one will work with the internal LCD and one simply won't. Mabye something funny with the Sony hardware. Has anyone been able to get 10.5.4 GMA950 on a VAIO SZ working?

U can still update to 10.5.4 by using the same old appleintelintegratedframebuffer 1.4.18 ( from tiger ), the rest of the GMA950 kext can be updated except the leopard framebuffer.
Mines a bit weird though, kextstat shows mine loaded with gma3100 and gma950 together...
But still i get those minor tearing...

Unfortunately I can't really use the 10.4.8 framebuffer on 10.5.4 with desktop gma950.
I start getting a lot of mdworker errors on drives and usb devices take 15 seconds or longer to mount/unmount.
Other than interfering with my disks and usb, it works
With vanilla 10.5.4 gma950 and frame buffer kexts, the gma950 is recognized with QE/CI.
However Frame buffer will not load and no resolution changes are possible (even with a kernel flag for it).

Sep 13 2008, 11:12 PM
Interesting...
I was doing some simple strings comparison on the 10.4.8 vs. 10.5.1/10.5.4 AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer and noticed that the 10.5 ones include the AAPL options that natit would traditionally set. These are absent in the 10.4.8 frame buffer.
10.5 frame buffer hardcoding the display settings overriding natit gma?
There is a display-overrides option as well and have messed with that trying to add it as a dict with AAPL options in Info.plist with no joy so far.
Serious wag on trying that but need something working without conflict on this.
This is on a desktop gma950 (gigabyte 945GCM-S2C).

With vanilla 10.5.4 gma950 and frame buffer kexts, the gma950 is recognized with QE/CI.
However Frame buffer will not load and no resolution changes are possible (even with a kernel flag for it).
So basically wat u are trying to state is Leopard recognize your GMA950 except it doesn't load the intelintegratedframbuffer.kext..
Have u tried manual kextload your original framebuffer?
