Didn't try it yet though :D

 

Nice, thanks for the update, I'm going to update my MBP, hack, maybe later :P

 

edit----

 

Updating now, it's a biggie, 420MB. I'm going to take apart the package and see what's new :)

 

I might just brave it and update it on my hack and see what happens. Neither the delta nor combo updates are on apple as standalone installers yet.

One note.. It depends on your system to determine size of download. My iMac (Intel First Gen) was a 198 download. My new MacBook (Core2Duo) is the 420 MB download. Haven't started the downloads yet on my two remaining G4s or my Hack to see what it comes in at.

Okay, I'll be the guinea pig, I'll run the update on my hack :-/

 

Once I run it, I'm going to go into my other install and remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and reload dsmos because I'm sure they'll disable that or something.

Okay, I looked on my MBP and here are the extensions that were affected by the 10.5.3 update:

 

System.kext

AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext

IPFirewall.kext

IONDRVSupport.kext

IOGraphicsFamily.kext

AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

 

Within the OpenGL Framworks Folder:

 

GLEngine.bundle

GLRendererFloat.bundle

Libraries (folder)

 

Plenty of other stuff but those are the things I thought of.

Well At this point I don't have 3D acceleration after the update. Everything else is running fine.

 

Anyone know how to get back the NVidia 8500gt support that i had in leo4all v3?

 

 

*EDIT*

I updated the NVidia drivers using these: http://scottdangel.com/blog/?p=23

Still not working. Is there anything else I should try?

 

World of Warcraft Starts up with: "World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration". It worked right before the update.

 

 

*EDIT 2*

I noticed this as well:

Graphics by NVIDIA:

 

Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA

Type: Display

Bus: PCIe

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 512 MB

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0421

Revision ID: 0x00a1

ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1

Displays:

VX2235wm:

Resolution: 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Software

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

Display Connector:

Status: No display connected

 

 

Software Core Image support? Quartz Extreme not supported? This is definitely the problem.

did someone here with vanillla kernel try the software update?

 

I did, it borked my GPU acceleration too, as well as borking my ALCinject.

 

I'm thinking maybe Apple is playing some games (possibly to screw with the Psystar people... DAMN YOU OpenMac!!).

I am going to attempt to update it with Zephy's updater ;p in a bit

 

EDIT: choosing modify only, the AMD system update found no cpuids which i found odd. Im reading up first before i hose my test partition.

 

Test Partition Hosed !

 

I tried to install with pacifist, leaving out the new kernel, system kext, SMBIOS and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, but alas it froze on me and i was forced to reboot into a non-working OS. Bleh ! I'll wait for the Osx86 gods to release their goodies.

Ok first open terminal

sudo -s

*type password*

while sleep 1; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext; done

Open 10.5.3 Update Installer

Run update BUT DO NOT RESTART

Go back to your terminal and press Control C to end the script

In terminal type:

nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1

Replace the line Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext with dsmos.kext

Restart and boot with -v

It will start loading and then you will get the message MACH_REBOOT, there you can hard reboot your computer. When you reach the darwin boot screen again, boot with -v again just for safe measure and it will boot fine.

Enjoy.

Trying to read enough before I try this :-)

 

I see the instructions here, and on an older thread for 10.5.2 update.

 

I had no luck previously trying to install 10.5.1, so currently I am running a version of 10.5.0 that was installed as a complete image from a file called "leopard-x86-flat-img".

 

So my question is - should I be able to install the 10.5.3 update over 10.5.0, or is it a requirement to upgrade (or install) 10.5.1, then 10.5.2 before finally installing the 10.5.3 upgrade?

n00b question.

 

If the update goes bad for any reason. Is it possible to reinstall Mac OS X (leo4allv3) and keep all my personal settings and apps I have installed, Or would I need to start all over again?

 

Thanks

Same problem here, used the kalyway Combo Update and it just screwed up any 3d Graphic acceleration.

 

Try re-installing your graphics drivers (NVInject).

I gave kalyway update a shot and it shelled my kalyway 10.5.1 updated to 10.5.2 install. but the hackintosh panic'd before i could apply the kernel pkg that was included. i didn't have time to do much else last night but i'll try and fiddle later tonight . -x -v or booting normally gets me to "firewire device.../defaulting to full-secure mode" and maybe 2 lines more about ATA device then hangs forever ....

 

 

:) on another note, i'm slightly annoyed that i had an almost exact post placed up yesterday and the mod's deleted it for what reason i have no clue. I mentioned that the 10.5.3 update for kalyway, jas and also an amd specific update was available at your favorite spots" and that you could go and check it out... Now i see tons of more literal posts on these forums suggesting or even naming websites or indeces to go and search for things.

just pisses me off a little...
