Martynguk2002 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hey guys First things first sorry if this is a question thats old and has been asked a million times before, i am a total newbie with Mac. I am very new to all this but have managed to get kalyway 10.5.2 installed on my advent 9212 1.66 dual core 2gb ram x3100 graphics laptop. I have just installed the Graphics update from the apple web site and although it gave me CI/QE which has enabled me to launch time machine it has given me the side effect of not booting up every time. What happens is after the white apple screen turns blue most of the time it changes to a 'broken' blue screen with a black line down the middle of the screen, if i keep rebooting when this happens after a few attempts it boots up to desktop. This wasn't happening before the graphics update, dose anyone know any fixes? I am currently in the process of downloading the 10.5.3 kalyway update in the hopes that if i manage to get it or even up to 10.5.5 installed this issue might go away, is this likley? Like I said I am a total newbie to Macs I have spent a long time reading forums and i know about the existance of stuff like kext's and the possibility of running diffrent kernels I have no idea how to get deep into the system to investigate any further and I just seem to be rereading the same forum posts now when google searching. Any help would be appreciated, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. cheers Martyn Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139640-newbie-with-graphics-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martynguk2002 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ok I have done a bit of research and testing on my system and the graphics update, I have found that it is AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin that is causing Quartz Extreme to work and also stopping my system to boot each time, does any one know if I need a newer/older or patched version of this or any of the other AppleIntel X3100 kexts? Please help really wanna be able to use time machine and front row.
