I've worked hard together with the Chameleon team to make this possible.
Big thanks go to Prasys for implementing the GMA GraphicsEnabler fix.
I devised the solution for getting CI/QE/OpenGL on the GMA card I'm using now...
I also fixed up some warnings in the GMA graphicsenabler.
This fix is for Snow Leopard 10.6.2...

Download:

Great job!

You will make lot of people happy if would work on FX570M on T61p.

[teateam]

What new in this fix?

[Goron]

Will this work on 27a2, too?

[Acid_Burn]

Works this Fix with native resolution for netbooks?

[shockre]

please put other mirrors!

for 0x27A28086:
Don't replace stock framebuffer kext's...
Apple uses this kind of card.
You then only need the PNLF device in your DSDT and the bootloader installed with GraphicsEnabler enabled...

This fix will give you native resolution (with patched AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext for 27AE or stock one for 27A2).
And this will also give you Quartz Extreme, Core Image and OpenGL (with patched AppleIntelGMA950.kext for 27AE or stock one for 27A2).
Follow the steps described in the howto...
27A2 users: see previous post for install instructions.

So, this doesnt seem to work for me

Chameleon installation fails due to the following reason, dunno what that means:

13.02.10 18:27:12 Installer[142] <ZeroSliderSplitView: 0x1b3ff0>: the delegate <TargetSelectPage: 0x33fdb0> was sent -splitView:resizeSubviewsWithOldSize: and left the subview frames in an inconsistent state:
13.02.10 18:27:12 Installer[142] Split view bounds: {{0, 0}, {402, 104}}
13.02.10 18:27:12 Installer[142]     Subview frame: {{0, 0}, {0, 32}}
13.02.10 18:27:12 Installer[142]     Subview frame: {{0, 0}, {402, 104}}
13.02.10 18:27:12 Installer[142] The outer edges of the subview frames are supposed to line up with the split view's bounds' edges. NSSplitView is working around the problem, perhaps at the cost of more redrawing. (This message is only logged once per NSSplitView.)
13.02.10 18:27:31 Installer[142] Die Installation ist aufgrund eines Fehlers fehlgeschlagen. Wenden Sie sich an den Hersteller der Software.

Neither RC4, nor Asere´s 1.1.9 booter are capable of loading the .kexts.

I am on an Intel 945G Chipset with a GMA 950 (device-id 27a2). No solution out there works so far ... thats really annoing.


Anyway, thanks for your hard work

Use stock kexts and extract boot with Pacifist.
Replace Chameleon 2 RC4 boot with this boot and follow the rest of the tutorial.

27a2 will work OOB , shouldn't be an issue at all

I have a Dell Latitude D420 and while the fix did work OOB, it only worked with the laptop's display. If I tried to use an external monitor the display was either blank, black, or grey. I was able to get it working by using the included AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext. Still, the display has a few hiccups as the mouse cursor seems to blink sometimes and if I enter full screen in QT I get a kernel panic.

[joe2108]

how about mirror display ?

Dear Andy.
It works for Acer Aspire One D150 with 27AE internal, and 27A6 external.
but when goes mirror....it's garbled...
Simply dumb question: How to know it is full QE in Snow Leopard? Do you have comparison snapshot picture where it has Full QE or not? All i know that the diferrence pics within kext loaded or not...

Your chameleon can not be installed, always fail. I am using myhack installer MBR Retail 10.6.2 atom patched TEAteam. So i unpackaged your chameleon installer after renamed to zip file, and copy the boot file into the root. Nice GraphicsEnabler for GMA950, i hope the pci root detection debugs can be hidden via options, so i dont neet to enter during reboot. I is  also worked  also using AsereBLN 1.1.9 using EFI string, i  checked.

Nope, sorry, still a no go!

I have GMA950 for Desktop with same device-Id. I still need to follow this to get it working.

Hi,

tested on Acer Aspire One D250, get native display resolution in Chameleon, but when boot is ending I see a blue screen, then a black screen and nothing else works.

0:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27ae] (rev 03)

Update: AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer works removing device PNLF but still no luck with AppleIntelGMA950.

Not much info in the logs

Feb 28 01:27:59 Cassios-Mac-Pro kernel[0]: display: Not usable
Feb 28 01:28:07 Cassios-Mac-Pro WindowServer[70]: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.

Did you enable the GraphicsEnabler and have you put the PNLF device in DSDT?
Also the 2 kexts need to be installed in /S/L/E, removing the old 2 kexts in question...

I have a new version...
Try this one and download the patched ACPI from the chameleon (VoodooProjects) forum.
@ the guys with other GMA cards than 0x27AE8086, download the RadeonDump.zip from this post and use RadeonDump -d to dump the VBIOS from your card...
I can then examine the gpu a bit more in detail (Video BIOS info...) and maybe even fix it up...
.ioreg files (IORegistryExplorer saves) are also very welcome for fixing the other GMA graphics up...
Also the new booter with GraphicsEnabler support will also show your secondary display device (0x27A68086) and patch that up too...
It also has a new resolution fix for GMA945 (and secondary).
RadeonDump will only work for dumping VBIOS though...
Available for download is a tool I rewrote for testing display functions (compiled for 10.6 32/64bit with some extra's, sources included) so you can see if your card is working fine...
I also attached my video card BIOS ROM so you can compare with your own...
Very welcome are any GMA VBIOS files I don't have yet (GMAX3100 style or GMA950 style...)
It really would help us developping our patches over @ chameleon development...
