Espionage724 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My experience... - Snow Leopard Install DVD I flash from a gray screen, to a blue, and then back to a gray screen with a mouse at top left.

Espionage724 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yea I heard that there was no x64 drivers. Anyway, I actually got a display now on my internal screen Thanks to OS86Tools and its EFI thing. I'mma actually try installing SL now and see what happens...

Would you mind posting the efi string that you are using? I also have 27a2 but get stuck with a grey screen using the original .kext files. Are you running in 32bit or 64bit mode?

mac-es Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 64-bit drivers coming in 10.6.2 Since I have a Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) I need the 32bit drivers and a working EFI string for my GMA950 / 27A2. Do EFI strings work in 32bit mode and with Boot Think 2.3? I got an EFI string from OSx86 tools which is not working for me. So please, post your EFI strings here! Or is there any possibility to generate a custom EFI string? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leppy700m Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 64-bit drivers coming in 10.6.2 That's good news, Doc. I have a D620 with GMA950. Has anyone figured out how to get the laptop display to work without that ancient appleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext? I have it working in Snow Leopard pretty well, but I'd sure like to drop the kexts. The patch you posted on the other thread works like a charm in Snow Leo on this machine as long as I am using an external monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo K. Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 950GMA works great on Snow Leopard even with Stock Kextx. QI and CI Just had to use a EFI string for a 27a2 950gma on my notebook. Hi, Could you help me out with this? I have a CoreDuo, Intel 950GMA laptop (Acer Aspire 5610) I was able to install SL but only "half way". It got to the "Installation failed" screen and then I'm totally stuck. I get the same error as you mentioned, blue then grey screen with a mouse cursor. I have the retail 10.6.3 Snow Leopard. What boot CD did you use to install? Did you use any special boot flags? How can I get beyond the grey screen with mouse cursor? thank you.
