jeremiahbarrar Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I am an experienced user and I have been trying to get OS X working for about 2 weeks now... So far I have 10.6.6 installed and booting. Graphics are slow and adobe flash player crashes. To install I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], then a 10.6.3 retail DVD which installed without any problems. On boot I installed the 10.6.6 update, then used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. The system did boot at that point and everything was working, except the graphics. All I could see was a blank white screen but I could open apps via keyboard and play audio with itunes (a little tricky without being able to see). I connected the 500GB HDD to my macbook and tinkered with boot plist, smbios, graphicsenabler, and kexts that were installed, no avail. I got the graphics working finally by deleting "AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext", it seems the problem was the frame buffer kext is set up to share between a discreet and an integrated. in the 10.6.6 update several files (including the one I deleted) were included for the i3/i5/i7 integrated graphics. These are for use in union with a Radeon discreet GPU. I have no graphics card in my system, so the driver is not working as it should. Maybe I need to modify the frame buffer kext? Any ideas for how to get it working? I have searched for hours and tried many things. I would appreciate a solution very much Side note: Is there any way to manually change resolution? Mine is at 1600x1200x32, even though I put 1920x1200x32 in my boot plist. I'm assuming this is because of no kext for the graphics and it is the max supported resolution for the generic driver.

jeremiahbarrar Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would really appreciate help, and I will put in effort to test solutions. There are many people without HD Graphics support on i3, i5 and i7 processors. Tonymacx86 had a topic on it, no success. http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=...48&start=90 Also look at this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=223754&st=0 Does anyone know a way to enable 1920x1200 resolution on OS X 10.6.6? I am already using "Graphics Mode"=1920x1200x32 and that gives me 1600x1200x32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
