Intel X3100 EFI Strings

[SticMAC™]

I found mine three lines lower!! it's down the line of "display@0"

Look for a line that says AppleDisplay, that is where it is....

hello,

 

first of all, thanks alot for this great effort. unfortunately my search for EDID in the IORegistry explorer turns up nothing? even a search for vga shows nothing. I am on a dell inspiron 1520 with iatkos v4 10.5.4. I have the display fully working with the a sleep/wake trick, dont know if that makes any difference as to why its not showing up. I would love to give you the string otherwise...

 

thanks for any help

 

thatriad

 

True, but it is one less kext to load!

Hi all i found out that the strings i've been making is just like Natit.kext. For People with X3100 i have some drivers that A.J.Allen had!

[piju]

I'll keep looking for a solution for ya. Bare with me please!

 

 

 

Ok try this. Do the same as last time.

Are you sure you have a GMA950 as your dump has a lot on GM965 which is the X3100.

 

Try deleting the X3100 kexts and install this kext then redo the dump.

 

make sure you delete the EFI string before rebooting!

Hello,

this is what i do just now,

 

1. remove AppleIntelGMAX1300*

 

2.and put ur string into the com.apple.Boot.plist

 

what happen when i reboot is, resolution only 1024x768.

cannot change.

 

then i,

 

1. put back AppleIntelGMAX1300* into /System/Library/Extentions

 

2. remove AppleIntelGMA950*

 

what happens next is, my resolution is back to normal,

and i can change my resolution.

 

i think my compaq presario v3521tu is using intel 950,

but im not sure about that..

 

the blue screen happens sometimes, not always.

but in the first switch on, there will be a blue screen.

after restarting for a 3 or 4 times, it will go into desktop normally..

 

this is my buying specs

Use a program called "SwitchRes X" to set a custom resolution of your max resolution but at 60Hz, this will prevent it from doing that!

I had a look at your specs its is a GM950 so this is strange!

 

 

Later on tonight i'll upload the Files i'm using for the GM965 X3100 to here so people should have working GFX with QE/CI /OPENGL

If you can find a copy of the intergratedframebuffer.kext from 10.4.8 it should sort your problem out.

 

hello,

 

first of all, thanks alot for this great effort. unfortunately my search for EDID in the IORegistry explorer turns up nothing? even a search for vga shows nothing. I am on a dell inspiron 1520 with iatkos v4 10.5.4. I have the display fully working with the a sleep/wake trick, dont know if that makes any difference as to why its not showing up. I would love to give you the string otherwise...

 

thanks for any help

 

O.K if you have Windows you can get EDID from your Intel Graphics control center!

 

thatriad

Don't worry i am looking for you!

[blueb7rd]

well finally i got the ioregistryexplorer but i am still looking for "EDID".. search doesn't help as well as browsing the trees manually..

 

maybe a different term instead of EDID ?

If it don't have EDID when you search it mean you need to use Windows Intel Graphics control panel to get it!

[SticMAC™]

I found mine three lines lower!! it's down the line of "display@0"

Look for a line that says AppleDisplay, that is where it is....

 

So if you search for "AppleDisplay" instead of "EDID" you should get right to it!

[paulicat]

Hi Hacktrix2006, whats your theory behind what you're trying to do here?

Is is that the newer Framebuffers aren't retrieving EDID correctly??

On my laptop, I only get the white screen with black bars if I use the framebuffers from 10.5.2 graphics update and later.

10.5.0/10.5.1 framebuffer works fine though for all os versions.

thx alot, but i read your previous post and saw the screenshot you've posted.. no information here...

 

will try to get it in windows/linux environment..

Hi what i'm trying to do is to sort the GMA950's and X3100 so that the internal LCD works with out and PIN mods or using more kexts! I know you helped out with Natit kexts so i was wondering if you could help me out on this please!

[paulicat]

One thing we need to do is identify the issues.

One issue I know of first hand is that any AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext from 10.5.2 and newer on certain laptops causes the white screen/black bar.

If your GMAX3100 worked with 10.5.0/10.5.1 with my natit.kext, but you get white screen/black bars from 10.5.2 - 10.5.4 you can fix this easily by using the 10.5.0 AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext and my natit.kext.

When I get home, I'm going to try your solution to see if it helps with using later FB kexts (from 5.2-5.4) on my laptop.

Ok, how the hell did he change the theme in that screenshot??

Not cool, thats my natit in his archive. My natit covered both 950 and 3100's, he just removed the 3100 support.

 

Yes, the white screen with black bar is definitely the FB.

Use the FB from 10.5.1 combo update.

As for your fix, it didn't work for me. Still white screen black bar occasionally.

 

If my natit works for you, you can replace it with this hex (remember to use 3100FB from 10.5.1):

ae00000001000000020000003f0000000100000002010c00d041030a0000000001010600001e0101

6c0000000800000001000000

This hex has the ethernet fix and enables the gmax3100 (might enable gma950 too, but Im not positive, I dont have a 950 anymore to test on).

Might have to edit device paths too.

Thanks for the string i'll decode it and see what i can do. use the files i have posted mine is now working fine using them files and before you say it, It has your natit.kext file inthere.

[paulicat]

Ya, also, it has the FB from 10.5.1

Its a very simple string, as only one key is actually required to make it work.

Anyone know what theme is in that screenshot, and how it was applied??

[coolied]

so, im using GMA intel 950 right ?

hurmmm...

that is so strange.

using AppleIntelGMA950* cant give me a nice resolution like AppleIntelGMAX3100*

 

Nope, you are using a GMA x3100; note your SATA controllers are all listed as ICH8? The ICH8 is used on the 965 family which uses the x3100. The 945 series boards (GMA 950) all used the ICH7 iirc.

[piju]

Thanks for info. So its the appleintelgmax3100Fb.kext thats the main cause to this problem.

ill tell you later about the result

thanks in advance

paulicat that string you gave me didn't work well. It garbled my screen so i've gone back to mine. I wonder if there is a way to use EFI to program the drivers to each laptop's GFX'S!
