guys, this are files from the JAS version:
http://rapidshare.de/files/40783348/GMAX31...om_JAS.zip.html

i have a x61t with 2a02 gmax3100 and they work fine (both QE and QG), the only thing is that only 3 top resolutions works fine, the rest (eg. 800x600) are meshed up.

EDIT: 29-10-2008

Guys, can someone help me with switchresX? The issue with my meshed resolution is caused by wrong refresh rates detected by leopard (eg. 800x600 is at 60Hz and should be 50Hz), so I have to create a new resolution profile but I'm stuck with defining all those parametres....

EDIT2: finally made it!!!!
all resolution works fine!! What I did was adding in SwitchResX under Custom tab resolutions (after clicking + pick scaled from the dropdown list and just type in resolution)

no works Intel X3100. iDeneb 10.5.5 ((

system:
laptop LG E500
iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5
LG E500
CPU: Mobile DualCore Intel Pentium T2330@1.6GHz
RAM: 1Gb DDR2@667MHz

Has anybody tried the iDeneb with a Dell 1525? Or any dell for the matter?

As I understand it, the Dells are the only ones with weird problems that require a sleep hack to get the video to display.

Thanks

My HP550 P350 won't work with the GMAx3100 ggrrr

Installed Version : iDeneb 10.5.5

Sound works, Wlan works, USB works, PERFECT . . no -->> GRAPHIC sucks !!!
Help !

You should try a different version, I had many issues with the iDeneb rls on my lenovo x61t, all disappeared after installing JAS version (10.5.4 and then the 10.5.5 pkg update)

I have just done a compete re-install of leopard and it was the first time I got the welcome screen video simply by when installing instead of restarting open terminal ( you only have 30 seconds) and deleting /Volumes/xxx/System/Library/Displays then coping the file I had on a USB stick which was Displays

This file was originally created from using SwicthResX but is no longer required once saved (somewhere safe) not entirely for newbies I also believe due to no positive comments about this idea posted earlier that It may be machine specific so my earlier posted display file may not work for you (or has no one tried it)

I must admit I dd not have sound when I first started in the welcome video this is due to ALC262 when I work out how to include these patches to a install DVD it will be solved Tiger was easier to modify the .mpkg file Leo isn't but hopefully will work out how soon

It really isn't a major I will now try the S200 pkg file I have made which should patch the rst of my system

Hey - I was in the same boat as you until about 10 minutes ago. I tried a bunch of fixes all at once, rebooted, and voila... Things just worked. I'm not sure what did it, but here is what I did:

1. Download http://xodeus.dk/files/AppleX3100_QE_CI.zip
2. Delete from /System/Library/Extensions the following:
Kexts involving *GMA950*
AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
3. From the zip, copy the bundle and package files into /System/Library/Extensions
4. Install the two X3100 kexts from the zip *USING KEXTHELPER* (I was doing it manually before, and I think that may be what was holding me back?).
4.5 Ignore Nakit.kext (I tried to install it, but it errored on boot... I deleted it then, and everything still works fine.)
5. Delete /System/Library/Extensions.kext
6. Use DiskUtils to repair permissions
7. Reboot using -f flag

Like I said, I did a lot of things at once that I didn't do before (Losing the 950 kexts, using kexthelper, -f flag, etc), so try that formula, and hopefully it should work pretty well for you. When I first booted after doing that, both the external and the laptop screen stayed blue. Frustrated, I rebooted AGAIN, without the external, and I got a great picture on the laptop, with both QE and CI!

If that didn't work, however, my next effort was going to be to try the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0. I heard that some people had good luck with that as well.

Cheers!

Edit: And for clarification, I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y510, and the Revision ID for my X3100 IS 0x0003.

Hi

I have Dell Inspiron 1720 With X3100 !
i have installed graphic update with sleepydisplay now ! and everything is okay just my resolution !!
i hvae tried mank kext files but still in low resolution [email="1024*768@unknown"]1024*768@unknown[/email] Refresh rate !
would anybode advice some ways for me !?

Hi, i'm new in mac stuff, but i try to..

i have compaq vt 3717

after installation, i can not log in, because of the blue screen
but i can log in by using external display, by press 'fn' +F4

i had used safemode by using -x but, i can not intall the vga driver by using intel gma 950
the process fail,"...can not find apple.boot.plis

where i can download the right driver...

tx u
regard

Your forgot to mention that i helped you on getting that far!!! LOL

Any luck bud i'm still looking at EFI string ATM but need more help i'll be online when i get back home on Wednesday!

I just made things worse....
Got the fresh install to boot and show right resolution, but while playing with display settings decided to see what would happen if i clone displays and enabled that option.
Now both of my monitors, internal lcd and external one can only show garbage and i have no way of switching that option off as i can't see anything.
Any suggestions or should i reinstall ? I'm a newbie at max os, so please don't laugh

if none of you have realized there is no need to run to post 184, the link to the GMA X3100 files are posted in my Sig.

Also Here is a new link as the old one had been deactivated..

Apple Intel GMA X3100[Working on Leopard 10.5.1 - 10.5.4]

still no joy (rev 0003). this is where i am. if i use the native kexts i get a blue screen which turns black the has white lines appear on it. if i use x3100_10.5.5.zip's framebuffer kext i get full res, qe/ci on an external screen but only a blue screen on a laptop display which is progress. i'm convinced it the framebuffer causing the issues. the frame buffer in the afore mentioned zip i think is from the leo graphics update 1.0. so i compared the kext with the framebuffer from 10.5.5.

on the surface in info.plist and versions.plist the only difference is the version numbers. i've tried adding the 2a03 id but it makes no difference. i think the only way this is going to get solved is by comparing the kext binarys from the framebuffer kext. i had a look in text edit but they are illegable to my eyes. one thing is obvious though, they are completely different.

is there a program i can use to view the mach o format in human language? if i can find the rev ids or what ever apple did to make the framebuffer useless for me in 10.5.5 we can work from there. i'm gonna try the new xXx os x86 10.5.5 beta release to test the kexts on that, as the dev tests the distro on his laptop which according to his signature has a ich8-m x3100.

i think collectively people are on the edge of sussing this one so good luck all!

oh btw i have a fujitsu seimens s6410 with ich8-m x3100 2a02/3 8086 0003 have tried kalyway 10.5.2, jas 10.5.4, iatkos 10.5.4 and ideneb 10.5.5 (best so far)

Try switching to the external monitor while system is loading and see what happens.

Try using the kext i have attached. Should Help just install using Kexthelper then remove the extentions.mkext from the system/library/ folder!

Quick question, is there anyway to "fix" the need to wake up the laptop upon boot? It would be nice to boot into OSX without having to move the mouse to a hot corner. I have full resolution (1280x800) also QE/CI & Quartz GL turned on. My specs:

Dell XPS M1330
GMA X3100
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x2a02
Revision ID: 0x000c

Thanks for any info!

i think the file from ajallen is what i need, but could someone explain to me how to install this please?

Will this work on my DG31PR Desktop motherboard which has a X3100 graphics card (Not 3100).
The specifications can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/6rodxt

Does anybody have a luck with ASUS X51L notebook with GMA x3100 integrated?
I have full QE/CI but a blue screen and a pause approx 2-5 min log before.

After that the video card works fine.

Any suggestions/advices greatly appreciated.

Hi,

i am running a Leopard 10.5.5 on a Dell Studio Hybrid, everything run fine except the GMAX3100 intel card. So I'm running it without any kext but on a low resolution and without opengl.

I tried many combinations and advices on this forum but till today with no luck. The better I have done so far is to have a crappy screen (lines scrambled) with X3100_10.5.5.zip but i made a new install and it did not happen anymore.

So it get always the same blue screen then the screen goes off and... nothing. I try the sleep trick, tried the two output (dvi and vga) nothing works.

Is anyone have a clue ?

I have a success with DSDT patching.
Now I have fully working X3100 with all resolutions and QE/CI on laptop LCD without any sleep trick.
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=135184

Dell Inspiron 1525
Intel X3100 devID=2a02 rev=0c
OSX 10.5.5 with vanilla + Chameleon_for_DSDT.

I'm running Toshiba L40, with x3100 video;
QE/CI - enabled;
OS Distr: leo4all v3 (updated to 10.5.5);

PROBLEM:
Long boot with stuck on blue screen (~5 min) while GUI starts

Does anybody know how to solve the issue?

critus, go to my guide or installing leopard on the dell studio (very similar to the xps) but just go down to where I cover graphics, I give a sleep corner solution and an automated one. Works great!

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry947527

I am successful only with AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext v.1.5.18.
With new version 1.5.30 I have

and black screen only.

Slice i have that error as well but i get the login screen have you used sleep corner trick?

Also how did you get DSDT working as i tried it made the file followed the instructions but didn't know how to get it to work with the charmeleon boot loader!!!

Thanks! It's alot easier to just tap the touchpad or a key than what I was doing!

With patched DSDT i need no more sleep corner trick. But I have ACPI v2.0. As I know for users of ACPI v1.0 it is not a solution. (ACPI version depends on hardware).

To use DSDT you must type into terminal
sudo -s
mv /boot /boot.old
cp chameleon_for_dsdt /boot
chown -R root:wheel /boot
cp dsdt.aml /DSDT.aml
chown -R root:wheel /DSDT.aml
reboot

K one of four things is happening here. Either;
1. the main board is sending incorrect signals to the LCD. so how can i fool it into sending correct signals?
2. the device ID hardcoded in the kext binary is wrong. I am convinced that the device ID should be 2a03 and not 2a02 pciwiz's osx86 tool / utility states that 2a02 is a vga/svga compatible integrated graphics controller. where as 2a03 is just an integrated graphics controller. although i have searched through the binary using 0xED but i can't find any ID's
3. my acpi version i think is 2.5? (fjtsuseims s6410) thus it may be incorrectly mapped?
4. I'm a complete and utter noob and i can't do {censored} for my self.

+! my battery never lasts more than 2.5 hours!

I'm gonna try and use the dsdt patcher to tell the crt/dvi/tv all to send to the lcd. will report back!

Tja, I also have THAT problem. The card is a gma 965 X3100 0x2a02 0x000c on a iAtkos 10.5.4 (no extra updates installed).
Everything works perfectly, but the screen brightness. it's always to the max. if someone has solved this problem, please write.

Hey

i been looking through the forum and im trying to get a handle on the x3100 graphics card resolution issue.I have a sony vaio vgnfz140eb 2bg of ram intel family 965 chipset x3100 graphics card using the kaleway10.5.2. installing is fine but after it reboots from the install i get a gray/white screen. i beleave its having to do w/ the resolution settings or the intel frame buffer. ive tried changing the resolution but no dice. any solutions ?

The same issue that I'm experiencing with my ASUS X51L .
I guess EFI strings would help, but not sure.

Does somebody tried the new 9F23 Apple Intel drivers update?

Where to go and what to do...

I have a Toshiba Portege M700 with GMA965/X3100 and it has taken me weeks (cause i'm dumb and missed the obvious solutions and couldn't find the correct BIOS settings for a while) to get Leopard to boot (Kalyway 10.5.2). I had to use the movevideodrivers trick listed in the install info (mock away, I deserve it). Now that I am able to boot into the system with a usable GUI, what process or order would you recommend trying first to get full graphics acceleration and then the rest of my hardware running (no Wifi, Bluetooth, USB, Ethernet, USB(not sure what's wrong there) working at the moment). I have spent hours reading and there are too many options for me to understand let alone implement, I would be grateful if someone out there with experience in the forums could direct me to the right path. I can provide specific info if requested but not sure what is really needed.



Much thanks.

Jimmy

Hello all,

I've an Inspiron 1525, the newer models with 1440x900, X3100, C2D 8100, 4G.

After installing a dozen times I noticed tha the only version that works with full graphics in the correct resolution is 10.5.2. All my attempts to upgrade or install 10.5.3, 10.5.4, 10.5.5 failed the same way, messed screen in many diferent forms (the most common beeing a "half display" something like you can see only a third of your desktop using half of the screen, the other half remains black...).

I tried many diferent combinations of .kexts, including using those from 10.5.2 with 10.5.5 but no lucky, so it seems that something else is needed.

Paulicat said that 10.5.1 is the recommended AppleIntelGMA3100FB version... Can someone kindly post tha .kext so I could give it a try?

I have plenty experience in Linux, but making this work is really giving me a hard time...

I would like to help and make it work.

Has someone made the GMA3100 work in full 1440x900, if so, please post your settings.

Good luck for all!

Hi gahmuret!!! I have the same note as you, with GMAX3110 (1440x900) and I did it works. I tried many diferent combinations of kexts and instalations too, like iDeneb, Leo4All, Kalyway and finaly iAtkos. With iAtkos 10.5.4 I did it work very well. Everthing is ok, like video, sound, wireless, usb, and trackpad, just one thing is problem yet, shutdown.

I can't attachment here, it's larger (3.2mb). If you want these kexts I send for you by email.

Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil

Best regards

Installed iDeneb 10.5.5. Works perfectly, display is recognized. Just no brightness ... 0x2a02, 0x000c is the data. If someone has an idea ...

hi,
I found many people works great on 2a03 rev 000c, but there is no one works on 2a03 rev 3.
Hope I am wrong, because I am the very version "3", and tried with many many kexts with no luck.
If you are just the 2a03 rev 3, and you got display OK, please help me.
Post your environment, and tell us how.
Thank you.

Mine is 2a03 0003. Read post #457 and do what I did - it worked just fine for me...

Jim

I tried it yesterday, but no luck. I placed the correct EFI strings in com.apple.Boot.plist (with EDID got from Windows, as registry explorer can't provide me with the correct EDID.)

Still takes a long time to boot then gets stuck with the blue screen. In addition - I get strange behavior - OS boots in normal mode only via cold start, if the machine worked before - the screen garbage was the only thing I got.

Sorry for my bad English, i'm not a native speaker.

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look here for the HP 550 GMAX3100.
The device id is 2A12

im having a hard time with the video problem, i choose -x option at boot, try with an external monitor, to no avail, also use the Graphics boot option, it starts, i have a blue background and then it goes black, if i switch the output to the external monitor i get white stripes...

any help?

using ideneb 10.5.5 i have many other "distributions" of hackintoshes but this is the best ive tried...

i alredy installed succesfully in a similar studio but with ati radeon 3450 (and since that vcard is not supported im trying to get it up and running on this studio)

any sugestions to implement in single user mode? kext to delete? vesa mode? -x option makes no diference, closing the lid for 15 minutes then waking up does not work also


UPDATE: after reading lots of stuff, i was able to boot and setup some things, i entered single mode with -s and deleted all AppleIntelGM* files and also AppleIntelFrameBuffer stuff, then rebooted and voilá video works, but vesa mode, now i´ve read that with iDeneb 10.5.5 i did not have to select the GMAX3100 driver, i will test that, and if i still have the same issue i will try JCovert process discused here.. in Post #457

I've got Kalyway 10.5.2 installed with vanilla kernel. I'm using the Leopard Update drivers and a custom Natit I got from one of the many threads I've been going blind looking thru. I've got full CI/QE but only if I use SwitchResX at 1680X1000@63Hz. My native resolution is actually 1680X1050, so it's not all the way there. Also, with this config, even tho I have full QE/CI, under my dock I have some garbled image and then another mac menu bar.

What I'm wondering is if anyone else has the same model Dell as me with the same device ID and revision ID as me. And if so, what you did to get rid of the extra mac menu and garbled image stuff below the dock?

Has anyone gotten the "Mirror Displays" feature working yet? Whenever I try to do it on my Dell Studio 15, both screens get messed up beyond belief and I have to restart in safe mode to fix the problem. Is there an updated kext or kexts that don't do this? I'd like to just hook up the laptop to an external monitor and use that as the main monitor. Right now I'm stuck using both displays and switching between them, which is fine but I'd still really enjoy if the feature were implemented. I'm a bit confused as to why this happens to begin with though, because isn't this the exact card that's in some Macbooks? Maybe there's some small difference somewhere?

QUICK UPDATE

For those of you trying to do this whith 10.5.5, as you realize you cannot use the graphics update with this copy.

do it manually by using pacifist. give your self access to the required folders and put the files in place. then use to

AppleIntelGMAX3100.zip file and set the corner. at that point it should be working.

can you plz tell me about your install?

Can you please tell me how you achieved this?

Hey there everyone. So I have my graphics working OOB from Kalyway 10.5.2 updated to 10.5.3. Here is the readout from System Profiler in regards to graphics



I am wondering what I should do to get QE working. Comp specs in my sig, if you need more info just ask (and probably tell me how to go about getting it...) Thanks!

Tes, I want well that you explain us how have you to proceed.

I have a problem that no so many Dell owners had. After installing Iatkos (2 to 5) i got half screen working and very stretched. The only iatkos versions that worked for me were 1.0 and 1.0r2. I needed to reinstall. So i decided to install iatkos 5i without any X3100 driver. Then i grabbed Natit.kext and AppleIntelGMAX3100* from a backup i made with the Extensions folder, and placed them into my new install /S/L/E and it worked perfectly.

None of the solutions posted in this thread worked for me (The DSDT worked, but after display sleep, display was garbled). None of the combinations of kexts from this and paulicat thread solved the half screen issue. Just using the only kexts that worked for me. I think they might be 10.5.1 kexts and somepunctualversion of paulicat´s Natit.kext. But i am not that sure, last time i reinstalled was a long time ago.

If someone has that problem (half screen and stretched) i can atach these kexts to see if they work, or not.

Hi slashack,

I have a Dell D630 with 10.5.5. I got the X3100 working (with the external monitor too), using
AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext, AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext and Natit.kext, plus the Expose sleep display
trick. I cannot install the other plugins, otherwise I get only black screens.

Now, everything works fine, but I have no CI nor QE enabled. Can you post your kexts so I can try with
that too? Thanks.
