c0nvexity155 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hello everyone. I unfortunately have the Intel GMA 4500M card, and I would like full resolution (1280x800) on my Mac OS X Lion installation. I know that QE/CI is not supported, so I just want full resolution. Is there a kext I could use or something? Thanks in advance!

ifrit05 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 You can try to get full resolution by searching for "4500M" on Kexts.com. There are none for Lion, but you can try. I got a buddy with this card and he keeps asking me to look and see if someone got QE/CI working on it. Sadly, apple never used this card so it will be quite difficult to get those working (or impossible. Maybe someone can use the FreeBSD drivers and mod 'em).

PierreEotile Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 And how works Lion without QE?..is it slow? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257763-intel-gma-4500m-with-lion/#findComment-1727716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aninfid Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It ain't slow - but some apps won't work properly, or at all. But for the usual stuff - perfectly. I need my PC mostly for work, browsing, and movies. Here's how it has to be: Work (web design, & photo edit) - Adobe Photoshop - works perfectly on Lion 10.7.3 without QE/CI Browsing (usual stuff including ocassional videos on Youtube) - works Ok on Lion 10.7.3, can't watch very long vids Movies - Win 7 Ultimate. So, YES, you can use os X without QE/CI, it's not really cool when you want to watch a movie, though. My next PC will be either an iMac, or a good 100% compatible hackintosh Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257763-intel-gma-4500m-with-lion/#findComment-1878888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
