I have Dell Inspiron 700m which has a 855gm Video Card. I want fullscreen. Someone help me please

I found that in AppleIntel915GA.plugin => Info.plist it has the device ID's for 80862582. Chnaged it to 3582 but didnot work. Someone help me pls

At this time a solution does not exist, the only way to change resolutions is to use the 'Graphics Mode' command at startup, if you don't see the desired resolution by using the '?video' command you are SOL.

goddamn it!!!!!. I dont see 1280x800. thinking of going back to 10.4.1. Maybe i can mod the video bios

it doesnt use that driver. try the other AppleIntel865 plugin and the AppleIntelIntegrated something.. i got it to work on my Dell 700m

CI and QE works, Wifi Dell 1350, Sound Works as well.

AppleIntel865.kext and AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext don't seem to be included with build 8f1111. Only AppleIntel915.kext and AppleIntelIntegradeFramebuffer.kext is included.

I read on the older threads about using threads to use AppleIntel830.kext but it doesn't seem to work for version 10.4.3.

how mondynet ? pls telll me................im begging u pls for the love of god. please

Ok frustrated of 1024x768 i read a post about PCIdevicematching and on its instructions

i added the foll to AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext and AppleIntel915.kext

0x35828086&0x00ffffff

My system refused to boot in normal mode, in verbose mode this is what is showed.

Soory for the crappy pic as i am too lazy to install my digicam onto my system and my memcard reader is lying somewhere with my freind

pls tell me if i did sumthing gr8 or screwed my system

I think he means under 10.4.1, no AppleIntelIntegrated file under 10.4.3. And no way dell 1350 working under 10.4.3 now. I have 700m too, no QE, CI in 10.4.3.

Use the Mac OS DVD to go into Terminal and fix it. You could just try deleting AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext and AppleIntel915.kext and your system should boot again.

I didn't get the 1280x800 display, but i would like to share kextload -t AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext experience...

Having in vain to get the native resolution, i tried to view the content of the respective extensions... and i found the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext is not properly contented...

so i repack it as the following directory structure:-

AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext
-->Contents
Info.plist
version.plist
--> MacOS
AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer

and amend the <key>IOPCIMatch</key> string as <string>0x35828086</string> and get the extension loaded by kextload

I don't know whether that finding can help you guys to achieve a native resolution or not, but anyway, that's my recent finding....

kextstat result: -

56 0 0x3050c000 0xb000 0xa000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer (4.1.8) <55 11>

and my image is 8f1111g with JaS SSE3 patch

When i did the same command on my lappy. it gave a Validation Error { "Kext claims an executable file but it doesnt exist" = true }

fixed that.....but now gives

"Kext has a kernel dependency proir to version 6.0 and CFBundleIndentifier does not match executable's MODULE_NAME" = true


BTW did u change ne other bundles/ kexts

Appleintel915.kext IOPCIMatch 0x35828086 (no &amp;)
actually all &amp; are removed...

and copy all AppleIntel915* as AppleIntel830* and the objects renamed... (somehow in 830GA.plugin 's info.list, CFPlugInFactories, CFPlugInTypes...)

since i found in ATI nVidia drivers having no &amp; ... and i suspect this release is intentionally to do so (add &amp;) in order to give up the support to Intel drivers....

I also found one thing....

when AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext (from 10.4.1) is copied to 8F1111g, the system prompts invalid installation for 'AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext', that means 10.4.3 also detects this kext and tried to load, but in vain....

therefore, if we guys have the correct build of AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext, we may achieve to get the native resolution in Intel chipset....

build version for that kext in 10.4.1: 2.0.0

I did this

Changed IntelFramebuffer as u said
Changed 915.kext and 915ga.plugin
renamed all 915* to 830*
now changed in all three files above to 0x35828086&0x00ffffff
It loads the kext perfect but has some error and cat show the login windows

can you get native resolution or not?....

if so, can you put the packed kext?

I would be happy with just being able to get the native resolution on my lappy (1280 x 768) I am less concerned with QE and CI.

just a little note.....

my experience shows that even we've got the native resolution, the QE / CI enabling is another big issue for us to tackle in order to make the DVD / Chess / Screensaver to work.....

nope it just cant show the display after modifying the kext, we need help from a god like maxxuss, to sort this one out. I am sure this driver has been sabotaged so it does not run on 830's/855/etc. BTW i got Quartz 2d Extereme working perfect on my lappy

http://www.win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2420

Now i just want full screen resolution

BTW good going dinorex. Coupla more ppl like you well have a working driver. Sorry i cant help much, but my exams comin up on Fri 13th. (I know bad luck n all but try convincing the college)

here are my kext, dinorex. sorry about taking so much time to post em. been kinda busy. exams n all

thanks Unstable, i am also busy recently...

but i will take further investigation on that, from your archive.... lol

Unstable - these are the 915 kexts just renamed to 830, correct? With the references to the 915ga.plugin and 915gldriver.bundle changed to 830 in the 915.kext plist, right? Just asking. I'll try it out next week, once my P7010D gets back.

I noticed this string at the end of one of the plists - what does safe mode have to do with it?:

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>
<string>Safe Boot</string>

safe boot tag exists in all the versions (8F1025 / 8F1111) of plist file... personally i think that's not an issue to that...

I have a Intel® 852/855 Chipset Family Graphict Adapter on an Acer Extensa 2950.

Basic Graphics are supported (VGA), but not more. I have tried many methods from the forum, without any success.

Did anyone find a working driver for this device? (Will the oboveposted driver work with my device?)

At this point, I think the best hope is to wait for the newest version of the Darwin ISO. That, I believe, is where the original AppleIntel830.kext came from...

hey dino found nething yet???? My exams gettin over on 21st so ill try a bit more then. As for getting the 855 kexts from the next build wont be possible i guess. Unless a newer Macbook with a 855gm come out, and i f we r lucky intel wireless support.


:SIGH:

I can dream cant i

I copyed appleintel830*.kext files from darwin,and get the following warning after run kextload:14Intel830Memory is not compatible with its superclass, 8OSObject superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension appleintel830.kext
load failed for extension appleintel830.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)
Then I run kextload with -t. The output is:14Intel830Memory is not compatible with its superclass, 8OSObject superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension appleintel830.kext
load failed for extension appleintel830.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

look none of this works. dino is the genious here and he kinda seems to be busy. the 830 kexts are just 915's renamed and a few changes done.

So... No 855gm, (dell 700m), using 10.4.3 8f1111 ?

nope but think of it this way. u brought the thread back to the first page. think i can con dell into replacing my card with a GMA900. wait can u upgrade gfx cards on lappys???

So to get the 700m to work on 10.4.3 with full res we need the 845 kext? Has anyone got it to work with either full res or QE support? I must have spend a few hours trying every single post out here.

not on the 700m

i dont know, but can the 10.4.1 830 kexts be recompiled to work on 10.4.3. I know basic c and c++, not much experience though.

This past weekend I decided to make the jump from 10.4.1 to 10.4.3 on my Gateway M350 Notebook. Everything works great in 10.4.3 which surprised me as I wasn't sure how stable it would be. I'm dual booting with XP which allows me to tweak OS X until its complete enough to drop XP. However, the 855 video problem has been the latest hurdle as all of you know. I can do 1280x1024x32 through Darwin's "Graphics Mode" boot option but it won't let me do native 1440x1050x32.

I would like to help get the 855 working on 10.4.3 as I'm pretty handy with a complier and did a bunch of ports on 10.4.1.

I've been trying to piece together where we are at with 855 from all the different posts on osx86 and win2osx which is no small task. So far it does seem like 10.4.3 is a mixed build because some things work very well but some things are broken like the Intel drivers.

I guess I would be surprised that Apple would go out of their way to break the Intel drivers given their relationship with Intel and the possibility of releasing OS X to some OEM partners down the road. By far there are more Intel video cards in the world than Nvidia and ATI put together. Now before I get flamed for that comment let me remind you of all the basic desktops and laptops that ship with Intel onboard video in the low and medium end markets.

If I read everything correctly, none of the 10.4.1 kexts run under 10.4.3 and modifying the 10.4.3 Intel kexts doesn't work either? Is that right?

-P

Pentad,

Any help in getting the 855 gme card (laptop) working properly on 8F1111 would be greatly appreciated.
I'm new to *nix and Osx but I've been trying for over two weeks to get the drivers working. I've tried most if not all of the suggestions in the forum and haven't got anything to work.

I've tried:
>Using the AppleIntel830 kexts from 10.4.1 to load but I get the kext/load error and that it is not compatible with it superclass.
>Tried adding the 0x3582 reference to the 915 kexts that came with my build... although I can get the kexts to load. On boot up it says "VGA family specific matching fails".

OSX works fine but I cant use iDVD play chess and some of the graphics are quite slow at time. Apart from this I am very pleased with how everything works. I know that this card appears to work on the previous builds so I guess you are right, its probably necessary to re-compile the drivers to work with 8F1111.

Hope this helps you

That's right. I tried files on this thread and on other threads. Tried nearly everything under the sun, but couldn't get them to work at all. I pulled files from the darwin cd and still no luck. I don't have experience compiling the kext's, but I have tried all examples on this forum. Let me know what you find out.

I grabbed the 10.4.4 Restore DVD that is floating around and extracted the extensions from that. It looks to be the same as 10.4.3 in that AppleIntel830 and AppleIntelIntergrated seem to be missing. I am really curious now to see what the MacBook Pro Restore CD looks like. Also the next trans kit (10.4.4?) will be interesting to see as well.

Do you think that the AppleIntel Kexts are not loading because Apple is trying to break that compatibility or is 10.4.3 broken/incomplete and that is why some kexts do not load correctly? I tried forcing the Intel Frame Buffer to load with kextload and I got the same (or close) error message that others were getting with kexts from 10.4.1. To me that seems like an issue with 10.4.3 and not Apple trying to sabotage working drivers. I could be wrong but once you have a driver working in your main source tree I would think they would be so busy getting it out the door that going in and pruning working kexts would not be high on their task list.

I know we are talking about the 855 kexts but I think being able to compile any kext and make it function is going to be a useful in the very near future. When 10.4.5 (or whatever) gets released and hacked, getting drivers for it is going to be the big concern of the community.


I found some interesting sites on compiling KEXTS:

http://urchin.earth.li/~twic/Kernel_Extensions_for_OS_X.html
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/D...hello_kext.html


Since I skipped 1099, did the Intel drivers work in that?


The next thing I'm gong to try is compiling the Kext from Darwin using the latest build of XCode. I'm not sure what that will be like but its a place to start.

-P

try this use the appleintel386pci.kext and input your agp id. The put all the kext files minus appleintel830.kext into the extensions folder.Add your device id to the appleintel830ga

didnt quite get you. explain more
