Hi,

everything goes fine untill I have to type:

 

chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelGMA950.kext

 

because then my terminal shows this:

 

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/CodeDirectory: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/CodeRequirements: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/CodeResources: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/CodeSignature: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/Info.plist: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleIntelGMA950: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/MacOS: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/PkgInfo: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents/version.plist: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext/Contents: Operation not permitted

chown: AppleIntelGMA950.kext: Operation not permitted

 

I don't know really what that means, or what I have to do now (I'm just a beginner :P)

Could somebody help me please?

Thx!

sudo -s first

 

not for nothing, but there's a reason these are called "hackintoshes"

Just updated to 10.5.5 (with Mysticus method), however the update killed my previously working QE/CI using Andy's kexts -- I didn't select any drivers during the update as far as I remember since I thought that my display is already working fine. When I restarted after the 10.5.5 update, I got garbled up display. I then booted into safe mode and applied fibble's patch, selecting kext for 2792 since selecting otherwise would still give me garbled display.

 

BTW, this is on my Dell D410 laptop (GMA900, device ID 0x2592). More details on my sig.

 

In addition, I've tried all of the GMA and AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer kexts and even came up with a combination of different versions, so far only fibble's patch (2792) can give me proper display with the exception of QE and CI though.

 

@Riws, would you be able to PM me a link on your Hex modded kext. I'll give it a try from my end. Thanks. Nevermind, got it working already thanks anyway.

Finally got the QE/CI working again on 10.5.5. As what Mysticus have suspected, it requires the old OpenGL.Framework files. I downloaded Leo Graphics Update and extracted the OpenGL.Framework folder using Pacifist. I then re-applied fiddle's kext and this time using the correct kexts (2592), restated and voila! it worked! :|

 

@Mysticus, you might wanna try what I did and then just omit the updating of OpenGL.Framework files from your 10.5.5 patches for GMA900/950 users.

I can confirm it as well. It works without any issue on 10.5.5 using the OpenGL.framework from Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (http://kindred.at/maci/OpenGL.framework.tar.gz if u don't want to play with pacifist).

 

cheers,

I gained the ability to change resolutions and also QI/CI. I lost laptop monitor support....have to boot with -s to see anything.

 

I am not seeing artifacts but don't see the non-thumbnail images in iphoto.

 

I followed these instructions from Andy4Life (thanks andy). Any suggestions?

 

Download the following Kext files from: GMA 900 Kext files

1. Backup all your AppleIntel equivalents in your /system/library/extensions folder

2. Copy these new ones over to that same directory (/system/library/extensions)

3. After you copy these across you may recieve a few errors from OSX saying it couldn't load blah blah, hit ok and ignore them

3. Pull up a terminal window and type the following:

 

CODEsudo su

 

<password>

 

1. cd /

2. cd /system/library/extensions/

3. chmod -R 755 AppleIntelGMA950.kext

4. chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelGMA950.kext

5. chmod -R 755 AppleIntelIntegratedframeBuffer.kext

6. chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelIntegratedframeBuffer.kext

 

After doing so open up finder and navigate to /system/library/extensions and delete the extensions.mkext (drag it to your trash).

;)

To All,

Hey i wanna add few points: :)

 

I Config is Intel D915gvwb(device id 2582),512 ram.I tried lots of things.Andy4life one is for device 2592.It gave me good resolution but no video outpu in vlc :( .After trying lots of things i found flibblesan method (found on 2nd page of this theard).That pack is a very lucid and straight forward one which covers devices with id 2582, 2592, 2792. So if anyone come upto this stage in this thread with frustration that ur hardware is not being supported(like me without reading 2nd page of this theard) just go to 2nd page and follow flibblesan method and i hope u will definetly get qe support and video playback.

 

Once again thnks to Andy4life and a big one to flibblesan :thumbsup_anim:

After using it for a few days I have seen some tearing and a few artifacts. not so bad, really. Yes it would be nice if it were not happening but I can live with it until I find a cure....

 

This is an Asus board with Intel 915 dual775 chipset. Next I will try the Asrock with the same chipset. Both these boards have been running Tiger without any flaws at all.

Thank you for this wonderful guide and modded files.

It works on an Intel 945GC board (P5GC-MX/1333) with Leo4All V5 (Server).

After restart the monitor has been detected, all resolutions up to 1680x1050 have become available with Quartz Extreme supported.

 

I bought a new motherboard and a NIC (RTL8139) to try this. It was worth it.

 

Update 1: Sound works after patching with HDAPatcher 1.20 using a ALC662 "codec dump" (cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 in Ubuntu).

Codec: Realtek ALC662 rev1
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x10ec0662
Subsystem Id: 0x10438290
Revision Id: 0x100101

It's not over for me, as I have to check for drivers/patches for my Wi-Fi Linksys (RALINK) card...

 

Update 2: I've tried to find a solution for Linksys (RT2500) PCI adapter and failed. I've read that something got broken with RALINK, as previous versions of the kernel were reported to work with it. I have returned the RTL8139 LAN and ordered the ASUS WL138G V2 (R3.01) Wi-Fi adapter, based on Broadcom BCM 4318KFBG. That one should work well. I don't have an option to keep the wired LAN, as I need the other PCI slot for the Firewire adapter. The PCI Express x1 is reserved for the future TV card upgrade (once I determine which card is 100% compatible and available).

 

Update 3: I've just installed the ASUS Wi-Fi PCI adapter and configured the AP to accept connections to the latest MAC address (a.k.a. "AirPort ID"). I am connected and ready to explore this wonderful world of Apples and Oranges ;)

 

Update 4: Spent many hours troubleshooting insanely slow Internet performance using BCM4318 based ASUS card. Found no satisfactory solution. Decided to give the RALINK-based Linksys card another shot. Found about PRASYS (0.15) repacked RALINK drivers and Installation Wizard. Downloaded to a USB drive. Launched the the Wizard, repaired disk permissions via Disk Utility, restarted w/F8 -f command to rebuild the kext-cache. Launched the RALINK drivers mpkg. System Preferences -> Network found new device (en1). From there everything worked automatically. I now connect to my Wi-Fi and have the speedy Internet.

should work for both and no it doesn't need a paperclip at least not on my pc

If you installed it on a desktop pc of course it will not require a paperclip trick because you are using a monitor unlike a laptop which you should put a external monitor to boot.

GMA900_By_Nick14.zip

 

Thank you everyone for your contributions to this issue! I had ran various ISOs of 10.4.x well over a year ago on my laptop - and never could get beyond my wireless card... decided to give it a shot again over the past week, and have seen there's been a LOT of progress made on the scene! I pretty quickly had my Intel 2915abg wifi working thanks to the iwidarwin project -- then it was time to tackle this video issue.

 

I am using iDeneb v1.3 (10.5.5), since I had read a how-to claiming it worked with the most configs. I hadn't known at the time there were graphics updates done between 10.5.0 and 10.5.5. After MANY different attempts, and one reinstall - I managed to get it working, thanks to EVERYONE'S posts, and Nick14's pkg. Paquito's explanation of reverting the openGL framework to pre 10.5.5 was invaluable, as was Ultrahang's pkg with JUST the framework.

 

Thank you all for your efforts on this. I now have a CE / CI enabled Intel 915 laptop.

 

Regards,

Paul

Firstly, thanks to Andy4life for putting his edited kexts online and telling us how he got it working. Thanks to this guy, I got it working on my desktop so I thought I would share my files. I have edited the latest Intel drivers with both my ID and Andy's ID which should cover everybody.

 

Quick guide: UPDATE - r2 uploaded. Uses 10.5.3 drivers.

 

1) Ensure your system is running 10.5.3. Download my pack from here and unzip it onto the desktop using OS X. If you need 10.5.2 kexts then download this

 

2) Remove all intel graphic kexts from /System/Library/Extensions these are:

 

AppleIntelGMA950.kext

AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle

AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle

AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext

AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext

AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin

AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle

AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle

AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

 

3) Enter the folder for the pack you downloaded and use kexthelper to drop all the kexts into the system. Then enter the folder that matches your device ID, and use kexthelper to install the AppleGMA950.kext

 

4) remove Extensions.mkext and reboot.

 

Included AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext is verson 1.4.20.28 which does allow resolution change, but has slight artifacts with heavy applications (for me, anyway).

 

Hi,

I have followed this tutorial but I still have some problems. My GMA 900 2582 is recolonized but Core image and QE are still not disabled. I am running HP DC7100 with 2.8ghz HT processor and Kalyway 10.5.2 disc.

What can I do to fix this problem?
