DB1 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Trying to find a way of getting 1024 x 600 (QE & CI) without having to change things in S/L/E, i failed with EFI strings & putting updated kexts in the loader. Then I came across cyclonefr's post re plist type kexts here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...29279&st=20 I had used a driver package previous to get video sorted and noticed it changed AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext & AppleIntelIntegratedFrambuffer.kext so I had a go with cyclonefr's method and it worked. Basically they are plist only kext that use the binaries from your current files the same in S/L/E so theoretically future updates wont effect video. I'm using Munky EFI boot retail method, but these should work on any boot132/chameleon setup. WindAdventPlist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB1 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Unfortunately no but have moved on to trying to fix in dsdt. Have graphics fix via a combination of dsdt, string and patched kext so have 10.5.6 QE / CI no artifacts. The original kexts are retained and the patched ones added so in theory I should get through upgrade to 10.5.7 no problems other than may have to patch a new set of kexts. BTW my retail install only has 2 boot kexts (NullCPUPowerManagement & AppleDecrypt) on EFI and 3 in S/L/E (patched GMA950, framebuffer & VoodooHDA) and all but internal mic works. Have given up on trying to fix HDA in dsdt after many, many hours (days) trying. Also same with GMA950. I think the ICH7 chipset somehow prevents some of the fixing possibilities in dsdt.
