Has anyone gotten the GMA X3500 working?

I know a couple of people have successfully run the P5E-VM, but I haven't heard if anyone managed to get the onboard X3500 graphics working with QE/CI.

 

The word seems to be that it should be theoretically possible, but I honestly have no idea where to start.

Bump

.....

I have Leopard working on my P5EVM-HDMI no hardware graphics of course.

Every time i play a video in VLC it will crash, is the due to the graphics problem?

 

I wish i knew how to help people with a new driver, but I'm new to the osx86 experience. Is there anyone working on a driver? or can they look @ the x3100 driver and start from there?

 

Thanks

I tried to no end to coax the X3100 drivers to load but couldn't get it to work.

Someone more knowledgeable than I in that area is going to have to take a stab at it.

 

I got as far as the X3100 and X3100FB to load on boot, but they wouldn't integrate into the GUI and eventually would unload themselves.

 

Same for the AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.

 

Checking the Intel docs, the X3500 uses the same architecture and programming as the rest of the X3000 series which means it's theoretically backwards compatible.

 

The G35 GMCH DevID is 2890

The X3500 DevID is 2892 and 2893 (Device 1 and Device 2)

 

Device 1 is the HDMI/DVI port on a ASUS P5E-VM HDMI.

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but does this mean you edited the kext and it worked, or that is the solution. Like in the thread, I would like to run leopard on an Asus P5E-VM HDMI board, but would like to use the built in GMAX3500, and if I can't get the resolution to do 720p, its a no go since I am using it as an HTPC of sorts. I appreciate any help I can get, since the other alternative is buying a PCI graphics card.
