meddlingBanter Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I was just able to get full 1280x800 resolution working on my laptop which uses the 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G Intel Integrated Graphics. What you need: AppleIntel830.kextAppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext I've heard these files are on the Devel disc and they are also located in /System/Library/Extensions. Some may have had to delete these files in safe mode just to get OS X booted normally like I did, so instead of deleting them I just saved them to the desktop. Anyway once you have them copy both kext files to /System/Library/Extensions. Located in each kext file (right click Show Package Contents) is a file called info.plist. In each plist file go to the line that looks like this: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> Below that replace whats in between <string></string> with 0x35828086. You should only have to replace the first four digits in the AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext file and then in the AppleInte830.kext file just delete the other two 8 digit hex numbers located within <string></string>. One thing that should be noted, the four digits that you replace should correspond to your Graphics Card's Device ID. You cand find this number by going to Apple>About This Mac>More Info>Graphics/Displays. After your're done editing the two files save them and do a sudo chmod -R 755 and sudo chown -R root:wheel on both kext files. I'm not sure if it matters but I deleted all other files that started with AppleIntel. I'll try it later with those files in the Extensions directory. Anyway, once you're done just reboot and you should be running 1280x800. Adding the Graphics Mode boot option shouldn't be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatoncat Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm sure it's for granted, but, no QE support right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meddlingBanter Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm sure it's for granted, but, no QE support right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> nope, though I'm not sure what adding AppleInte830GA.plugin and AppleInte830GLDriver.bundle would do for that. I'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is needed for QE. You need the GL, the GA, and the AppleIntelXXX, as well as AppleIntelIntegrated all to be the right ID. And, there's a good chance CoreGraphics will just crash, so, be prepared to trash them in single user mode if that doesn't work (along with Extensions.mkext in /System/Library).

madtk Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Wow amazing! Altered all the files as mentioned in the tutorial and I am now running 1400x1050 Very Nice!

bilditup1 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I just tried this on my Fujitsu P7kD. OSX kernel-panic'd before I did anything. I tried removing all the kexts that had to do with Intel Video, didn't help much, only made Darwin 'think' more before kernel-panicking. Single-user mode/command line doesn't work either, it hangs, waiting for something...I'll check what...you know what, this post really belongs in my thread...ow well...

goldenarowana Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 ok , heres my status: Dell 700M Open GL and native resolutions works. The only folder you will need are: AppleIntel830.kext AppleIntel830GL AppleIntel830GA AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext I think AppleIntel830GA is the Graphics Acc, but can not find a way to load it. May AppleIntel830GA have something to do with CoreGraphics, and if your CoreGraphics is patched, ApplIntel830GA will have trouble loading. I dunno maybe there a work around for it.

skg Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Good article, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I cleared out the AppleIntel* folders then put these back: AppleIntel830.kext AppleIntel830GL AppleIntel830GA AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext I modified the files accordingly (yes, I'm SURE they have the correct numbers). I booted up and it hung at a vram message. Taking your advice, I removed the GA folder and it booted up to OS X. However, once in, I noticed it was still using the default drivers, meaning I was still stuck at 800x600. All I want to do is get to 1024x768, ?video tells me I can use this and many other modes. Once it loaded into OS X, it gave me a message about not being able to load AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext (or a similar message). This is really irritating, I hope someone can help me resolve this issue, been at it all day. I'm using a i855GM chipset, Pentium 4-M 2.2ghz SSE2. I've applied the 0.4 SSE3->SSE2 patch (0.2 and 0.3 have the same results, 0.2 being the worst). It seems the original CoreGraphics is in place, so it shouldn't be interfering. Should I try with a modified CoreGraphics? Any help is welcome, thanks. Small update: I just noticed my onboard hotkeys for sound and such are working, but their screen display is messed, they merely display either a red box or a blue box with some speckles of pixel dust in them.

mr itunes Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've got a 700m too, and for some reason, I can't get it to go... the 0x value for it is 0405 (correct?) and i sudo'd both files, and its not giving me anything. Now what do you mean by a "patched" core graphics ? Basically what happens is everything goes smooth no errors, reboot It hangs at the gray apple screen and doesn't move, reboot boots right back into 1024x768 stretched... Any ideas??? and goldenarowana, have you got sound working ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybluejeans Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks a lot! For the record, making these changes allowed me to use my Gateway M250X in its native 1280x768. Strangely enough, the M250X uses the 915G chipset... I also made the same changes to /System/Library/Extension/AppleIntel915.kext, so maybe that is what made the difference.

Regarding the sound, you will need to modify your AppleAC97Audio.kext, Follow the guide in the osx86 wiki (audio) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, just checked the AC97 wiki and it says it has to be running native... Did you just use the dual boot method from the FAQ or how did you go about doing it ???

stelriah Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 so should i be inserting 0x35828086 or should i be inserting 0x(dev_id)8086 into each kext plist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaS Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I'm sure it's for granted, but, no QE support right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you can get QE support by taking the AppleIntelI915 out of the ApplleIntelI915.kext and Renaming to to AppleIntelI830 and copying over the one in the Appelinteli830.kext then set your permissions and do the wheel on it and reboot enjoy QE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
