MadSkillzMan Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hey guys So after getting the hang of installing OSX on my dell optiplex gx270, i figured id give my IBM ThinkCentre S51 a whirl. Sure as heck, first try, got it to boot to a functioning desktop. Couldn't get audio/Lan on the first try, but the intel GMA 950 driver loaded right up. Ok sweet! Yea except one thing! The mouse pointer is huge, gnarled, and made of dots! Its barley usable, as you have to click below the object you want to click on..annnd im kind of lost at where i tinker next. For the install its fine. I was guessing graphics kext issue, however after extracting and installing some other kexts for GMA950, nope, no go. Same issue Ive searched the forum and havent seen naything like it. Any ideas guys? ill see if i can get a screenshot, the USB reading my thumb drive doesnt always work This is 10.6.2 by hazzard btw. Using a USB mouse and keyboard. Booting off the legacy kernel. Another tid bit, doesnt seem to recognize the processor,. Ive installed SMBIOS, but sitll shows up as "Unknown Processor" Before i had just thrown an iAtkos HDD in, and it booted up. Couldnt do much, everything would crash, but atleast then it recognized hyper threading, oh yea AND THE MOUSE WAS USABLE! Thanks in advance guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadSkillzMan Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 in case anybody else runs into this problem, i solved it Problem is with the framebuffer/video driver If you search on here for GMA900 Full CE/QI with no hacking, install those .kexts, and yes im on 10.6.0, it works. Amazingly too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
