Hey guys,

Ive got a Toshiba Equium L350-10L Laptop.

It has a Intel GMA X3100 graphics card, which seems to be different to everyone elses.

Everyone has 0x0000c, whereas I have 0x00003!

I am yet to find anyone else with this revision ID.

I am absolutely desperate to get this working with QE/CI and at my native 1440x resolution!

This is why... I AM GIVING A PAYPAL REWARD OF £10 TO ANYONE WHO CAN GET THIS FULLY WORKING FOR ME!!!!

 

My MSN is jontyoglesby@btinternet.com - please add me!

 

I have tried lots of kexts, paperclip, EDID etc etc.

 

Thanks for looking, and good luck in finding a solution for a nice £10 :P

Hi there,

When I install any kexts, my internal display does not function (either blank screen or blue square in left top corner), but usually the external works with QE/CI etc.

I am currently downloading iPC 10.5.6 to try out and then try the 1440x900 kexts (which I have tried before).

Yes, you are right. I also have the x000c rev id. Maybe you could try download iatkos 10.5.7. I had good experience with that release. When I installed OSX, I didn't even choose any options under video card. Just vanilla X3100 Kext and Framebuffer.

 

or

 

Update to 10.5.7 and remove injections and try to use the vanilla x3100/FB kext in 10.5.7.

 

I know it might sound far off, but maybe you should give it a try. I really have no idea if it will work on yours but it did in my case.

 

Otherwise, you might need to ask gurus to release a Natit/GMAX3100/FB that has your Rev ID.

 

Goodluck.

Right guys, I have installed 10.5.6 iPC Final, and I tried the 1440x900 kexts which did not work.

Attached is a screenshot of Sys Profiler.

Please someone help, there is £10 available!

 

EDIT: And Monkey, how would I go about removing injections or w/e :S

hi,

 

This is my method to get work x3100 with QE/CI without sleep trick

 

1. Open terminal and type:

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMA*.*

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext

 

//Do not restart!

 

 

2. Then download this (from my dropbox):

http://files.getdropbox.com/u/196731/Intel...0%20Fix.pkg.zip

http://files.getdropbox.com/u/196731/x3100...eep%20trick.zip

 

3. Extract the archives

 

4. Copy dsdt.aml to root of your Leopard disk (screenshot here)

 

5. Then open and install Intel GMA X3100 Fix.pkg

 

6. RESTART!

It didnt work, I get the usual small blue square in the left top corner that slowly fades out to fullscreen white. I tried with an external monitor (when it was at this) and got a frozen apple bootloader. When I tried BOOTING with the EXTERNAL, I got a fullscreen blue screen until I press FN-F5 (change monitors) and I got black stripes across the screen. Volume control doesnt work in the background which suggests the the OS has crashed?

 

I have attached pictures to show you (taken with my new iPhone 3GS :D)

 

Cheers so far!

I got it working, I followed this guys fix

 

http://macyourpc.com/2009/03/14/no-more-di...r-sleep-tricks/

 

its for the DELL inspiron 1525. its just a dell 1525 specific dsdt.aml file you drop

in.

 

So to sum up I went into XxX 10.5.6 and enabled chameleon bootloader,

dsdt patching. booted into framebuffer mode. then installed all my 10.5.7

GMA kexts (10.5.6 works too).

 

I don't know if this affects anything but i want my laptop always on, so i went

into power options and turned everything "always on" then went to the power

options and disabled "power button sleeps computer"

 

so looks like the solution is to hack a dsdt.aml file that will fit your computer.

you could try the one for the dell 1525 who knows.

 

the dsdt.aml is the trick.
