1. get appleintelli830.kext and appleintelli915.kext and put them in a folder so you can work on them

2.open(by right clicking on the kext and picking show package contents)appleinteli915.kext

and go to contents-->macos-->appleintel1915

3.rename appleinteli915 to appleinteli830

4.open(by right clicking on the kext and picking show package contents)appleinteli830.kext

and go to contents-->macos and drag the renamed now appleinteli830 from the appleinteli915.kext

to the appleinteli830.kext-->contents-->macos folder and drop it in

copy over the one thats there

5.close it up and put it back in /system/library/extensions/ and let it overwrite the appleinteli830.kext in the directory

6.open a terminal and do this

 

Code

 

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Appleintel830.kext

after you hit enter put this next

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Appleintel830.kext

 

and thats it reboot and your done

 

hope thats alittle better :lol:

a side note : i tried this on my ati aiw 9600 also but it was a waste of time so dont bother

alot of trem time and alot of renaming the 9700 drivers

and all i got was this at boot

 

cant allocate class "ATIRadeon9600"

i know i did it right cos when i get into osx i load the kext manualy thru the term and it says they load np

but i never get any support or even a kext is loaded in the system profiler

 

bla

I am now running the 'new' kext files; everythings looks oke, i can boot perfectly however no QE support.

Perhaps the trick works to other graphic cards, no luck over here (running the 855 GM intel graphic chipset).

 

I will try again soon,

did you also edit the info.plitst files as show in the start of this thread?

i did at the same time i applied my fix

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:

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.

 

read this to know how to edit the fix for your chipset since i only have the device id for my chipset thats all i could make

you shouldnt need it with 915 do you?you have no support?

whats your device id?

 

oh btw

darn,

 

doesn't work on my 855. It managed to log into osx86 however there no text or texture.

 

have anyone else got it working with 855 chipset (0x35828086)

 

cheers

 

open i830.kext and edit info.plist

look for <key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x25728086<string>

and change the string to <string>0x35828086<string>

 

then open appleintelintegratedgraphics.kext

and edit info.plist

look for <key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x25728086<string>

and change the string to <string>0x35828086<string>

 

save them both then set your premissions and wheel both files

then reboot

and they will be set for your chipset

anyone with a diffrent chipset then 865 needs to edit there files as listed above

Although i can boot with the 830 driver (it gets loaded and doesn't halt the system) i don't seem to have QE support, even if i use the driver from the 915 kext. Thanks for the tip.

 

In case you couldn't find the files:

The AppleIntel915* & AppleIntelIntegrated* are from the DevDVD

The AppleIntel830* are from the Darwin-x86 install.

hope thats alittle better  ;)

 

damn i think that about covers it you should all be able to edit the files yourself with this info sry about the taking down the like to the file but DMAC and all

edit your info.plist files in the i830 and appelintelintegratedgrafics.kext to only your device id in the <string>deviceidwithnospaces<srting>
