hatoncat Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I am trying to pin down the problem with Quartz Extreme and Core Image, and I think that Dell Inspiron 6000 is the key. The reason being, it keeps all the components identical except for Celeron and Pentium-M different processors. While this sounds academic in difference it isn't. You see, the Celeron-M runs on the 910 chipset, while the Pentium-M runs on the 915 chipset. I am seeing that people with the Celeron-M version of the 6000 can do QE and CI while the P-M owners (myself included) watch their systems crash and burn without an external monitor. I need Dell 6000 owners to post their specs while using Mac OS X and confirm if QE and CI works (you have to edit the kexts needed to do this). Hopefully we can pin down that in-fact the 915 chipset is the one that is buggy with Mac OS X and QE/CI, and the 910 chipset is not. For example: Dell Inspiron 6000 1.73 GHz Pentium-M 256 MB RAM GMA900 QE/CI Do Not Work Without External Monitor Present Note: If you have a Dell 6000 with a Radeon X300, do not post, your system does not have drivers supported by Mac OS X and is beyond the scope of this thread.

Guest timepassx Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Dell Inspiron 6000 1.6 GHz Pentium-M 512 MB RAM GMA900 Hangs on blue screen if no monitor present. QE/CI work with external monitor attached (can be unplugged after booting).

suleiman Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 fellas, why not try PM'ng those users that made the original HOWTO: GMA900 thread, and ask them what the specs are on THEIR QE/CI enabled machines?

Migalicious Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I have a Centrino/Pentium M Inspiron 6000 and I have QE and CI supported without an external monitor. The only problem is that it won't boot all the time. I have to boot into Windows, and sometimes even log in, then restart and boot into OSX86 and after the Apple logo disappears, the LCD will flicker to black, then to blue and to a background and show the OSX loading bar and then the login screen.

suleiman Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Migalicious, would you be able to tell us how much video RAM Darwin says you have before you boot into OS X? We all get 7mb.
