Is there a way to get QE/CI working, I've searched all over the net and this forum, but it seems that leopard supports only GMA950 and X3100.
I'v managed to change the resolution to 1280x1024, but I sure would love to have QE/CI enabled.

My device ID is: 0x29c2

Open the following file:
/MAC_DRIVE/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

and add the following

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32"</string>

The "<key>Kernel Flags</key>" will be probably available

Make sure that you restart the system after this modification.

Would it work with higher resolutions? Say 1920x1200?

And is there a way to solve the graphic limitation that prevents the album covers (coverflow) in iTunes, among other things, from working?

Thanks

I've not tried it but it should work on higher resolutions, as for the graphic limitations such as coverflow in iTunes, it's because of QE/CI not supported.

friend,


     there is an update for Intel graphics drivers in apple web site. Leopard Grahics update 1.0.dmg (49.5MB File) Down load  and install it .
I hope your problems can be solved. My issue with X3100 solved by doing it.

Thanks for your help Gopan, but I've already installed the update, but it was no good.

Tried the natit.kext no result
Tried the resolutiontrick..Works!

(I also have the GMA 3100 0x29b2)

Still no Hardware Acceleration, so no fusion for me yet ;)

Hi I got a Intel 82865G Card.
My resolution is stuck on 1024x768.
I've tried the resolution trick above but it wont let me save because I don't have the privileges.
Any help please.
