GMA960 (0x2772) Quartz Extreme / Core Image?

[liquidFish]

Hi,

 

I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (retail) on a Dell OptiPlex 520 (P4 HT).

Under 10.6 the intergrated Intel GMA950 worked fine with Quartz Extreme and Core Image functioning correctly and Preview and Grab taking and viewing pictures fine. The display was not detected by could run at 1600x1200 with 'Graphics Mode'.

 

For 10.6.8 I have tried various methods to get Quartz functioning with none of them working, I have tried using modified kexts and such.

 

Is there a way to get the GMA950 functioning with Quartz?

 

Thanks!

I have attached a kernel.log if that helps.

Where did you put AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext ? It could not find IOGraphicsFamily dependency according to your kernel log.

You should put AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext where IOGraphicsFamily.kext is resided in. So /S/L/E.. If you have put it in /E/E, move it into /S/L/E .

AppleIntelIntergratedFrameBuffer.kext and IOGraphicsFamily.kext is all ready installed to /S/L/E from what I can tell. There is no reference to them in /E/E but they are in /S/L/E.

 

I can manually load both AppleIntelIntergratedFramebuffer.kext and IOGraphicsFamily.kext but manually loading them has no affect.

IOGraphicsFamily.kext loads without issue, but AppleIntelIntergratedFramebuffer.kext gives the following warning:

Kexts with a kernel library < v6.0 must set MODULE_NAME the same as CFBundleIdentifier to load on kernel < v6.0.

I use the patched dsdt method and got it working perfectly

If you haven't yet, you could get full log with -t -v 6 option in kextutil command instead of kextload to see what exactly is going on and what kind of errors/warnings it produces during the kext loading. You should also try to patch DSDT if you haven't done it already. In my case, kext was working alright til 10.6.7, then wouldn't work after upgrading to 10.6.8. However, after patched DSDT it worked even better.
