crashandburn0213 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ok i have a dell inspiron 1545 and it has an intel GMA x4500. i have tried both the "Graphics Mode"=Resolution trick and the patch from the modified X3500 driver or its the X3100 driver cant remember right tjis moment. i want to try the 915 patch but i would like an in depth tutorial if it isnt to much to ask. right now on my 1st partition i have Vista installed, and on my 2nd partition i have Mac OSX 10.5.8 installed, i have a 3rd partition but i can delete it for room for ubuntu if needed. so yes i would like to try the 915 patch but need assistance. i have tried but i messed it up on my own accord and am to worried to try it on my own again. hope to hear from you gurus soon. oh and i have chameleon bootloader v2 RC installed. any other info needed just ask me.

Poco Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The "Graphics Mode"="resolution" only works when you are using Chameleon RC2. Otherwise it simply uses the largest/closest VESA resolution available. That would meen no widescreen. This is quite an easy way to go. The other way that is confirmed to work has a tutorial and discussion here. There are currently issues that people are experiencing with this method including vertical lines and a no cursor issue. iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to my forum GMA X4500 Resoulution No difficult commands, no patch, no kext, just run the installer file in terminal, reboot and Voila! It works for me! No cursor bugging, no blue or grey screens!
