(SOLVED) 10.6.2 Hazard GMA950 problem with strings and enabler

[DanielPK]

Hi guys...this is my second post i think ...

 

Am typing this from OSX 10.6.2 Hazard's Distro...most of the important stuff are working fine such as SATA-ATA, Audio, Internet...etc EXCEPT for the GMA950 GPU.

 

The issue am having is the inability to change resolution higher than 1024x768 due to not having other resolutions in the list. I tried the EFI string from the OSx86 Tool...still it gave me no luck...i wanted to know if there's anything else i can do to get my GMA950 working as it should

 

Please if you are going to tell me to do a DSDT patch, then please include a tutorial on how to do it properly, as i've had many KP "kernel panic" before...as in Uncountable i have attached a report of system profiler just incase its needed...

 

thanx in advance...

 

P.S. am thinking of updating to 10.6.4 i read instructions on how to do it, but am not so sure if its recommended for my system or not

I suppose you are talking about a desktop computer.

What is the device id of your card? Look in system profiler. if it is 0x2772

For 10.6.0-2 you will need the kexts below plus the EFI string from the boot.plist

For 10.6.3-4 you only need the graphics enabler kext and no strings needed

after i finally got my GMA950 working...suddenly i can't watch youtube videos??? video loads, i can hear the sound...but no picture, not even video control options :S tried updating my flash, and updating safari...still same issue...i haven't updated to 10.6.4 am still on 10.6.2...any idea?

[Neflem]

Flash 10.1 is your issue.

Same thing happened to me.

You nee to downgrade back to 9 until Adobe get's their heads out of their asses.

 

I long for HTML5

 

Uninstall http://www.blogsdna.com/4329/how-to-uninst...windows-mac.htm

Flash 9: http://www.cs.wits.ac.za/~scott/apple/Inst...er%209%20UB.dmg

 

Good luck.
