jasim Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 First of all i am not a system programmer.. Its just a pure tweak.. Many of users reporting mouse artifact for their compaq and lenovo laptop's having Intel 4500 MHD (Dev ID 2a42). As shown in the below picture. I have hexedited the AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext (Version 1.5.48) using Lavender.t's post to make use of software cursor instead of a hardware cursor. You can see the result u should only install this kext if u having 4500MHD (2a42) and also with an mouse artifact. It will not enable QE/CI for your mac. Steps to install 1.Download kexthelper. 2.Download the Edited Kext AppleIntelGMAX3100FB_softcursor_sleep.kext.zip 3.Extract It. 4.Drag the kext to kext helper> Type the admin password> and click easy install 5.Reboot with bootflags '-f -v' Thankz to Lavender.t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proxin Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thank you so much, it worked for me I notice you have not taken screenshots, is this broken for you as well? I am not able to take screenshots either on my computer and it is also X4500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grantula Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Worked like a charm on my Dell latitude e5400! I have an unrelated problem now. It seems whenever I use these kexts to fix native resolution (any of the tricks, patch4500, mr. vaughn's, this edited one) it will not load with a background, just a blue background. I have everything else though. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myska Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 It didn't work on my inspiron 1545. I'm running IPC 10.5.8 universal final. When I boot with bootflags -f -v, I got a kernel panic and when I boot without flag I got a black screen after the apple logo. I'm new on mac. Do I have to install another distro? Please advise. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

factory Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 In the attach you'll have these files. AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext (1.5.44.13) AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext (1.5.18.7) The FB was patched to have no mouse artifacts & support native resolution & with id 2E12. Both files will load and will appear in the Extensions at System Profiler. I'm hoping that someone figure it out how to enable QE/CI. Greets!

But we don't have the same laptop, mine is an Inspiron 1545. Thanks I was talking to viccer, he has Dell E6400. I'm using the dsdt.aml file that was posted here with the patched IntelAppleGMAX3100FB.kext file. I installed the kext using kext helper but noticed that the kext was not loaded by mac os x. it was not listed in the kextstat list. EDIT: I restored the original 3100 kext files and this is the errors I'm getting in /var/log/system 1)error mapping module file /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleIntelGMAX3100 2)cant map module files 3)internal error getMacClasGraph found no classes. 4)cant check load addresses of module How do I resolve this?
