TheFuzzball Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have installed Lion from retail on an Asus X53E. It has an i5-2410M CPU which includes Intel® HD Graphics 3000. I have compiled the latest Chameleon from SVN and set GraphicsEnabler to true using org.chameleon.Boot.plist, which gives me QE/CI, however, the resolution is stuck at 1024x768. I've tried setting the Graphics Mode in boot.plist, which has no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzzball Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Fixed by patching my DSDT and using a modified AppleIntelSNBGraphics.kext 100% working, QE/CI and native resolution. I've uploaded the DSDT & the kext for others that want to make this model work. HD3000_X53E.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzzball Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 After some use I have noticed quite serious lines across the display, not dead pixels, but lines of pixels of the same colour, sometimes green sometimes grey. I have observed this behaviour in the wallpaper image and whilst watching a video. Also on a Finder Toolbar icon. I'm looking into a fix, but I've found nothing useful yet.

TheFuzzball Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Turns out that my GraphicsEnabler setting was wrong and if GraphicsEnabler is Yes whilst the DSDT patch is there then OS X will stay on a blue screen, but if the DSDT patch is not used and GraphicsEnabler is Yes then OS X will boot fine. That's using Chameleon version 2.1SVN and 32-bit kernel. (64-bit kernel has so far given blue screen on either option.) Note: Using the DSDT patch the GPU is recognised as "Intel HD 3000 Graphics" in System Profiler, whereas GraphicsEnabler registers it as "Unknown." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilsator Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi, I have another notebook - Dell Vostro 3750 - with HD 3000, no graphic card. I'm also stuck at 1024x768. Could you describe how the patch is done? But if it takes a lot of hard- and software knowledge, if you must be able to understand the dsdt-code I couldn't do it. Can it be done with the ready-made patches of the DSDT-Editor? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=223205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
