litium Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I pushed my Vaio W120AL to 10.6.3 and worked great with some kexts and a patcher found here (and adding a kextload fot the AppleIntelGMA950.kext on rc.common). Now i went to 10.6.8 and used the same kexts (and the patcher) and i get full resolution + QE/QI but the grpahics are all glitchy (IE: menu bar transparent, glitched graphics, wrong shadows, etc). I have now changed to a set of kexts from a zip called GMA950 v3.6.3 (that supposedely works with 27AE) and used the patcher that i had for the earlier kexts. This resulted on a Gray Screen on the inner display and i'm guessing that the external display can be used. So, i'm going to remove this patched kexts and re-add the 3.6.3 ones to see what happens. But first i'll try removing the kextload from rc.common or try pointing it to the patched kext (27aeAppleIntelGMA950.kext) and see what happens... Anyways, anyone knows another solution? And anyone can send me the vanilla 10.6.8 GMA950 and IntegratedBuffer kexts? Thanks in advanced!

Use the patched GMA950 that gives you the grey screen and the FB that worked.

Dr. Hurt Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Vanilla 10.6.8: http://www.mediafire.com/?dbxn3ff7w22sphq Could you please send me 10.6.3 vanilla kexts because those are the ONLY GMA950 kexts to support 64-bit, even though in my case they are buggy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/262726-gma950-on-1068/#findComment-1718336 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the patched GMA950 that gives you the grey screen and the FB that worked. That was it. Used the IntegratedFramebuffer that was working on 10.6.3 (Patched for 27ae) and the AppleIntelGMA950 from 10.6.8 (Also patched for 27ae, and by patched i mean added on the Info.plist). Thanks! Always tought that those two should be of same OS version...

Bobert01 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 can you post your kext (es) d-track edit - i know this is an old post BUT ive found an okish way of updating from 10.6.2 to 10.6.8 for me on a netbook i plugged on an external screen and my usb cd/dvd rom drive that had its own power supply with a usb connection and in bios i enabled achi mode and said only use external screen and disabled onboard lan then after choosing my options i did this to update (by magicfox) 1. First thing you have to do is Disable Sleep in System Preferences, Click the Yellow light bulb, Move both sliders all the way to the right and Un-Check the two tick boxes. 2. Goto /System/Library/Extensions and delete the SleepEnabler.kext 3. Repair Permissions using the Disk Utility in the Application/Utilities folder. 4. Goto /System/Library and delete the Extensions.kextcache file at the bottom. 5. Next delete all the stuff inside the /Library/Caches folder and /System/Library/Caches folder 6. Reboot, Now you should be ready to apply the 10.6.8 Combo Update located in the link below. (apple.com for the update) For AMD and Intel patched kernel users, you need to install a new patched kernel 10.8.0 first before attempting this update. (kexts.com for the kernel) as you see you are then on 10.6.8 with an external screen you then need the kexts to get to your 8.9" netbook screen (10.6.8 and 27ae not the desktop but a laptop or netbook) http://code.google.com/p/hackentosher/downloads/detail?name=GMA950_v3.6.3%20changes%20resolution%20but%20no%20QE%20CI%20GL.zip&can=2&q= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/262726-gma950-on-1068/#findComment-1755003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
