Hello everyone, i have just finished installing Mountain Lion GM onto my old laptop, works great, i have the system booting stably and nicely.
a few hitches, i cannot find a working 64-bit GMA X3100 framebuffer driver for resolution, i am aware of a few from 10.6.2 but they led to some issues on my hardware.

can anyone point me to a potential solution, all I am after is resolution, i am well aware that there will be no openGL (QE/CI) but it will have to do

thanks in advance

The HP Pavilion DV6, A suitable Macbook Pro?
This is my photo demonstration of <edit>10.8! Mountain Lion DP3/GM i don't know which</edit> working on an HP Pavilion DV6-3132TX. This is means as an example of what can be achieved with Hackboot and a retail copy of Lion + the Mountian Lion DP3 app. If anyone else is interested in attempting to replicate this, send me a message and i will give you as much help as I can.

I use this as the main OS on the machine, It runs stable and quiet and, In my opinion, better than windows. I also think that the style of the laptop rather compliments the OS, they match, and I think that this laptop makes an ideal alternative to the Macbook Pro.

How I did it:
I installed iAtkos L2
downloaded the developer preview from apple using my developer account
installed it
downloaded and installed Chameleon 2.1RC SVN and installed it
used a post install tool that shal not be named to install userDSDT and NullCPUPowerManagement
rolled back the AppleHDA kext
used a driver form google for resolution using the screen ID

What Works:
Display Resolution (QE/CI is coming soon)
Sound (Intel HDA)
Wi-Fi A/B/G/N
Bluetooth
Ethernet
all USB ports
all 4 cores, no hyper threading
Webcam (Using manycam)

What doesn't work:
Fingerprint Scanner
HP Mediasmart Buttons (Not a real issue, you just can open the non-existant software with the buttons)
3+ finger multitouch (2 finger scrolling works fine)

Photos:
Sorry about the quality, my Galaxy SII isn't the best camera
