Andy4life Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 No problem guys, glad it was as much use to you all as me. Now if we could only get rid of those artifacts hey lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest h2a Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 are you able to screenshot the artifacts? i want to see what you guys are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mascot Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I managed to catch some of them. I did it in iTunes, though I get them only in the search field. Also, obviously, it looks like the artifacts are input field related. Not sure if this helps, but that looks like the problem. Also, renaming a file under finder causes artifacts to appear. By the iTunes search field you can see one of them and then the block by the apple icon that seems to happen whenever one is left on the screen. I'm using the IntegratedFrameBuffer that was included with the original 1.5 TOH's release. Which one is the one that removes artifacts but doesn't allow resolution change? I want to see what happens when I stick that one in there. It looks like that was the only one I could manage to catch. I tried to take a screenshot of it under dreamweaver but it just disappears.

Novacaine Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 this tutorial is great! makes OSX so much faster now. Though I'm having lots of artifacting in anything with transparency or any right click/pull down menus, I'm gonna try what made it work for sansey in a little bit. let you know how it goes. I just installed 10.5.1 today, so I'm pretty damn new. *edit* as long as I press Fn+F7 during the gray loading screen a couple times my computer will boot into 10.5.1 no problem with no external monitor attached. Everyone in this thread is awesome. Everything it working now except the ability to dim my screen.

Novacaine Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sansey's method worked wonders for me. (copying only AppleIntelGMA950 & AppleIntelGMA950GA from fibblesan's 10.5.3 pack and using the other original files from 10.5.1) I now get the very tiny amount of artifacting that andy4life and mascot are getting. VLC works perfect and only saw the artifacting very slightly with itunes open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mascot Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Oh and also, by the way, does anyone else still need to use the paperclip trick to get it to boot still? I've noticed that sometimes it worked without it, and sometimes it didn't. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zllak Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi everybody, First, I want to thanks Andy4life and insanelymac forums for all the great job. I used this tutorial to install my graphic driver, and I was finally able to change the 1024x768 resolution. But Dashboard is still "slow", because QE/CI is not working. I've noticed my device ID is different from Andy's, so can this be the solution of my problem ? And if it's the case, can you explain me how to fix this ? I'm pretty new to Mac OS X. Thanks you for you work ! Here's a screenshot of my system profiler. -- zllak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novacaine Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 use fibblesan's version of the files as he has the three different device ID's already there to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zllak Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thank you ! I used fibblesan's AppleIntelGMA950.kext for my device ID 2582 and kept Andy4life (bundle etc) other files, and now, everything's running fine. I just took the AppleIntelGMA950.kext file because I tried to put all the fibblesan files and I came back in a state where I wasn't able to change the resolution (no graphical driver I guess). So I re-pasted the AppleIntel* files except the kext one and it worked, with Hardware acceleration and QE enabled. Thank you all ! Great job.

flibblesan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 nice work. It does seem that some people could not use the files I uploaded, even though they worked for myself. Maybe it's an incompatibility issue. If you upgraded to 10.5.3 properly and your drivers and OpenGL has been upgraded, then I think they will work.

Ccc Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I used h2a's method and it works perfect except a little mouse tearing! thanks guys. My System Info: leo4all_v3.iso,10.5.2 Dell inspiron2200,GMA900,device ID 2592 yeah. i need 10.5.3 for SSE2. I just try to do Prasys manual installation of it and ended with a kernel panic and the inability to boot. EDIT: I zipped my configuration for Dev 2592 that is working perfectly, with NO artifacts. This solution involved using a combination of the files that have been posted around this thread and finally finding the right bunch so that i had the right AppleIntegratedframeBuffer and kext combination, as i was getting only a blue screen or a completely hosed configuration with all the previously described methods. Using Dell Inspiron B120 laptop Instructions: DOWNLOAD THIS *not sure if step 1 and 2 are necessary but i did it* 1. Download and install Leopard Graphics Update BUT DO NOT RESTART when it promts you 2. Delete the following from system/library/extensions AppleIntelGMA950.kext AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext 3. Allow the graphics update to restart 4. Take the files from my zip and apply them with Kext Helper (included) 5. Reboot. this was my first attempt at writing instructions so if its missing something or isn't coherent let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Watz0n Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 From my research, the Intel GMA 950 and the GMA 3100 share, essentially, the same feature sets. As such, would it be possible to transplant this to a 3100 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercurysquad Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm using 10.5.1 iAtkos 1.0ir2, with GMA 915 dev ID 2592. I copied andy4life's AppleIntelGMA950.kext and AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin files, and QE/CI are working. No menu artifacts. However, Preview doesn't work at all for images (works ok for PDFs). I get a white window where the image should be. Quicklook works fine. Time machine doesnt work either, and FrontRow shows a blank black screen. What am I doing wrong, or are these known issues?

I suspect that's all caused by you having a CPU that can only do SSE2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
