vniow Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I have an Emachines T2958 that OSx86 installed flawlessly on (using the generic patch) but the graphics aren't accelerated. I did a search and I couldn't figure out whether things were supported or not. Anyone else using this chipset and has acceleration supported (or not)?

jthunder Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'm also looking for help with the 865GV (on a ASUS P4P800-MX). I've followed the steps in the forum for Core Extreme, but after a boot I get the super block graphics unless I boot with -x (safe mode). Any advice?

mpeters13 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'm also looking for help with the 865GV (on a ASUS P4P800-MX). I've followed the steps in the forum for Core Extreme, but after a boot I get the super block graphics unless I boot with -x (safe mode). Any advice? The only working fix for me (i have this chipset also) is creating a small partition with windows, letting it boot and reboot into osx and let the machine run indefinitely. =_=.. even then after waking up from sleep sometimes i experience prolonged sessions of unresponsiveness leading to a forced power down.

BMC6053 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have the 845G/GV also on an MS-6577 M-ATX Rev. 3.1 (Giovani), Rev. 4.0 (Giovani2). I can change my resolution & refresh rate after a few tricks, but a no go so far on CI and QE. Everything I i've tried so far produces the big blocks on the screen - forcing me to do the -x and delete and restore the offending files. I'm sure in time we'll descover a trick or two for this chipset - I think this chipset is on the edge of being to out of date for OSX but probably "do able". Any suggestions on how doable it is anyone? :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docangle Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 What tricks are you using? What version of OSX are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMC6053 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Trick for the resolutions and refresh rate? The only thing for that (in my case with the 845G/GV (or any other 845* I'm sure) is to modify your AppleIntelIntigratedGraphics.kext file in /System/Library/Extensions/ Just drag the bugger out of the folder, click "Show Package Contents" and then click Contents and open up info.plist in the text editor. Find this: <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x25628086</string> That is the extact device ID I put in there. Of course going to the lil apple and clicking "About This Mac" and then "More Information" and then "Graphics/Displays" and checking your Device ID to get your ID and put under that IOPCIMatch section. Just leave the 8086 intact after it without spaces as shown above. Then I just saved it, drug it in, authenticated and overwrote the origininal that was in there then I went to disk utilities and clicked on the disk that I was working on and clicked "Repair Permissions" I hope this helps clear anything up. My OSX version is 10.4.1 with 10.4.3 userland update. SR1103WM < My Mother Board. Cheap Compaq Presario PC! :-D Gz, I need a cup of coffee... I just hope I typed ok in zombie mode for now. Cheers!
