hi yougi!!! well i installed a software called displayconfigx, you can find typing in google... this software detect all screen resolution that your graphic card and monitor support, and belive me this works... i have 13.3" too... let me know if work for you... very important this works only with QE/CI support... i have beta9 semthex sse3 kernel...but this worked with beta8 too...

any way how did you install macvidia drivers... i have a zip with 4 .kext all then go into Extensions folder?
yougi
For Macvidia, I used Macvidia 1.0.8, it inclues an automatic installer smile.gif
you can find it at www.macvidia.com

drimzy

I used SwitchRes (kind of displayconfigx) to have 1280x800 at 60hz 'cause I dont know how to use displayconfigx sad.gif(
i have now a good display and CI/QE with my chipset intel 950GM smile.gif

Try macvidia 1.0.8 for GeForce GO 7400 to have an appropriate display but you'll not have CI/QE.

need wireless(intel 3945ABG) and audio (sigmatel 9225) to fix ^^ waiting for it

macvidia 1.0.8 do not work with new semthex kernel... produce kernel panic, the version 1.0.81 most "work" with the new kernel but... for me didnt whistle.gif

yougi try Toruga's pacher and let me know... for sigamtel 9225

I dont know how it works the taruga's patcher sad.gif we need a driver for linux but we dont have it =/
kikos
Look at my Vaio specs in sig. The GeForce 7400 Go is incompatible with Titan and Natit on my system, so I use the Intel GMA 950 to get QE and CI.

Also for those people who can't use the max resolution on their vaio: Go into the Sony Bios and change the display option to stretch to entire screen. If I do not have this option selected, my max res is something below 1280x800. However, with the option selected I get the full screen resolution of 1280x800.

im having a SZ2XP
i have copied skge 0.2d version to my 10.4.8 semthex SSE3 kernel and moded the plist to 435111AB and the driver is loaded but it's unloaded at startup (-v) says the driver is stopped
any idea?
yougi
try that

1) Get the device id of the ethernet controller.
Go into Windows -> Device Manager.

Find the ethernet controller and get Properties on it.
For mine, it is

vendor 11AB
Device 4351

it might be different between machines. please check!


Click the Details tab and read the vendor id and device id. The vendor id is going to be "11AB"

2) In OSX, go into Terminal and edit the following file:
sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist
if u get an "Open with" dialog, right click the file and click "Show Package Contents"

Scroll down and find the following:
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x436211AB</string>
Replace the bold numbers with the device id you found above.

Save the file.
Exit the file.

3) Delete the following files. In Terminal, type (or copy and paste):
sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

4) Repair permissions. In Terminal, type:
diskutil repairPermissions /

5) Reboot



you have the same vendor and device smile.gif 0x435111AB

I have Sony Vaio VGN-N150G and I installed Mac OS X 10.4.7

here are the problems:

1- high CPU Tempreture : 62C to 71C. is it natural? how to solve it?
2- Sound Card doesn't work. I have a Realtek High Definition Audio but I can't find the chipset model? How can I find it?
3- How can I safely upgade to 10.4.8? can I simply update through Apple, online?
4- How about power management? can you see your battery status in Mac? or do you get any warning when it goes to finish?

1- I think you cant solve it =/
2- Try the taruga's patcher (let see his topic)
3- Try JaS 10.4.8 Update, no you cant upgrade trough Apple, you may have a instability system
4- Powermanager works very well, yes we have a warning
