This is with the new 10.4.8 kernel and 10.4.8 original kexts!

I know this is working with regular JaS 10.4.6/7 DVD :)

 

My GMA 950 integrated graphic card was supported out-of-the-box!

Just a glitch, I was not able to choose a resolution bigger than 1024x768...

 

Here is a quick fix for that:

 

Just replace the 10.4.8 AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext

with the one from 10.4.4 (also on JaS 10.4.6/7 DVD).

 

In Terminal:

 

sudo -s
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext.original
cp -r /Users/skr3dii/tmp/AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext
chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext
chmod -R 755 AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
reboot

 

 

Now I want the 10.4.8 IONetworkingFamily.kext, stay tuned...

Hi skredii my 10/100 nic of my D945GNTL is located

 

/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext

 

edit the info.plist with yours

 

mine was 0x27dc8086 if it doesn't works use yours 10.4.4 AppleIntel8255x.kext.

 

See you.

enb14, I know, that's what I did with 10.4.4 kext, but it doesn't work with 10.4.8 kexts.

Does it work for you with .8 kexts?

 

My 950 works at 1400x900 with no fix :D

 

 

My display works with 1280x1024 and i can choose any resolution from 640x480 up to 1280x1024.

No patches. fixes needed :-)

 

What install are you both running? If JaS 10.4.6/7/8, you already have this old .4 kext.

I'm talking here about .8 kext with new 8.8.1 kernel...
