askiba Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hello, I have been trying to get OSX to work on my Toshiba and I find it hard to back down from this challenge with limited resources - DVD burner is broken, and I only have a 4gb USB stick. I acquired a VMware image after trying several different ones to finally get one that worked, which is version 10.4.7, converted it to raw with qemu-img and DD'd it to the partiton. So when I booted it, it was very fast to get to the GUI but 70% of the screen is black and most text is missing and everything appears like blue squares. I was able to get around this by getting into safe mode. I have a intel 945, but Mac OS identifies it as a Intel GMA 950. I tried removing the GMA 950 kext and deleted the kext cache and repaired the permissions, then I rebooted but it still had the same issue, so I am not sure which kext is causing this, or why in safemode it works. Can anyone help me? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273791-graphics-messy-if-not-in-safe-mode/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendum Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Would this help at all? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33933 Patrick Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/273791-graphics-messy-if-not-in-safe-mode/#findComment-1780678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
askiba Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hi, thanks for the reply, I fixed it with a patch called GMA900-Fix by Diabolik or something, forgot the exact name. Then I also had to remove all of the GMA950 kexts and leave the Intel915 kext there. Interesting what different combinations work for different people!
