CharredPC Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Is this kext for 10.5.x or 10.6.x? Is it only for the 4500, or can us X3100 folk try it out? Can you tell me what you edited, so that I might recreate it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkythewondersquid Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I gave it a try on iatkos v7 updated to 10.5.8 gma 4500M and same as before native resolution but still 144MB VRAM I installed with kext helper and moved the patched x3100 kext to my desk top so I did not get the 512MB VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest darklocust Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I tried this and it worked on my Lenovo U330. It did list 512MB on system profiler but still not as good as having a driver with QE/CI. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dba137 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Again, what is the point of this if it doesn't unlock QE/CI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkythewondersquid Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It is a step in that direction I would think Again, what is the point of this if it doesn't unlock QE/CI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboyg Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 So is this kext better than the others...patchet X3100FB for the native res. for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharredPC Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Tried this file using retail 10.5.8; wouldn't boot up, so no idea if it enabled more memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riws Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 It is a step in that direction I would think QE needs only 16MB VRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest barrick Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 this is great i appriciate it. i would like to know if there would be any way of upping it to 1gb of vram for this card. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboyg Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yes...the Video Memory is now 512MB but there is still the same issues with the full screen movies for example...or maybe a litle bit better, I don`t know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabamas Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yes...the Video Memory is now 512MB but there is still the same issues with the full screen movies for example...or maybe a litle bit better, I don`t know... What issues do you have with fullscreen movies,i can even play flash hd from youtube .You have to disable harsware acceleration on flash player settings.As for quick time i've always been able to watch movies in fullscreen!!!!

bboyg Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The REAL issue is that my CPU is Intel Dual Core T3400 2,16 and I need to load it with one core (cpus=1) otherwise verry often I get Kernel Panic. So if I load with the two cores I can watch fullscreen even without need of 512 MB VM, only with native resolution. S I need something to work with ONE CORE. I`m not saying that U did a bad kext or some...on the contrary I`m verry glad that there are still people who wants to help us, milions of users cursed to use Intel GL 45 chips!!!

litosudo Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Does it work in Leopard or Snow Leopard? 32 or 64 bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkythewondersquid Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I tested this on a few distros and on an existing install with x4500 patch it did nothing, a clean install of iatkos v7 gave 512MB VRAM, iatkos v7 updated to 10.5.8 worked gave 512MB VRAM, ideneb v6 lite edition gave 512MB VRAM, snowleopard universal installer 10.6 (64bit) same, snowleo vanilla install same (64 and 32 bit) So it seems to work across the board although I don't see any differance in haveing the 512MB over the 144MB in snowleo mine shows 800MgHz from the RAM in leo (iatkos and ideneb) 667 but that is from the distro not this kext so it works great and does as advertised native resolution with no artifacts and with no patching. Great job alabamas native res, no artifacts and a no-patch kext that can be replaced when we do get QE/CI without having to reinstall FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
