Juurlo Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Got my new board two days ago, and everything is working fine but two things: - Sound (not critical for me) - No QE/CI - using the onboard GMA950 ?! WTF?? I've tried to search around the forum, but no solution so far. The install DVD (Jas) had only the GMA900 patch, which does not work. I have tried removing all 915 kexts etc. - No difference. Everything works but QE and CI, no artifacts. Displays are correctly recognized and I can change resolutions and manage the two screens. What needs to be done to enable QE/CI? (is there a separate GMA950 patch for 10.4.8? Some other solution?) Thanks in advance.

intrax Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Look for and install AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext from 10.4.7... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37213-gma950-on-1048-881-latest-no-qeci/#findComment-264856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juurlo Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Thanks, I'll try that - only problem is I don't have 10.4.7, but I do have 10.4.6 - would that work or will it horribly crash the system? Edit: tried, just adding 10.4.6. AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext does not help, but loses resolutions and 2nd display, adding the 10.4.6. GMA950 kexts gives a very rewarding crash of display drivers when starting up.... Edit: Found and tried the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext from 10.4.7 - did not help. Also tried w/950 kexts and 10.4.8 framebuffer kext, no help. After searching over the site, it seems that this problem is bugging many people with GMA950 boards and 10.4.8. Is there any known solution to this or should I just fall back to 10.4.6?

Juurlo Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 ... just wondering... Despite the lack of Quartz Extreme and Core Image at the moment, the system works very well. Exactly what am I missing other than eye-candy? Is my system seriously crippled without QE/CI or should I just forget about it?

Juurlo Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Seriously, am I the only one with this problem on the AsRock Conroe board and 10.4.8. Jas? I have tried everything, including 10.4.7 kexts (and changing the device id's to my specifics although it shouldn't be necessary). ANyone with AsRock Conroe945G DVI Mobo using the on-board dipsplay controller, OSX 10.4.8 and working QE/CI? Pray tell me which version of 10.4.8. dvd did you use and how did you get QE/CI working?

Juurlo Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Updating the thread in case this will be of any help to someone else with the same problem. Tried 10.4.6 kext (AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext) - no effect whatsoever (currently using just one screen on VGA port, propably dual displays would not work with this kext.

Kage_ Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Welp... I gave up and went back to 10.4.5 since I can't live with the video not working as it should...

I'll be sticking with 10.4.8 since the lack of QE/CI does not give me any real trouble at the moment.

Kage_ Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I just downloaded the latest distro plus the PPF from a few days ago, got it installed, and all is great. QE/CI working as expected, I can select the resolutions/refresh like before. Here's my method I used: 1. D/Led the latest distro & PPF 2. verified the MD5 on the original ISO to make sure it's correct. MD5 Unpatched: 8ced8c38fe55392e71c02c71af6c554f MD5 Patched: 0ef2904e0aad1864c69b2ac67e050255 3. Burned the patched ISO 4. Ran the install, wiped my install disk clean before installing * I Did this because the install kept failing to upgrade my existing fresh install of my Maxxuss 10.4.5 5. Installed with Intel Support, 10.4.4 login window, and GMA950. 6. After the install completed I booted back to the DVD and ran the repair permissions. 7. All done... it booted like a charm and I'm setting here writing from 10.4.8 Kage_ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37213-gma950-on-1048-881-latest-no-qeci/#findComment-269904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gXpratama Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) Hello Kage_ I went to the same procedure as you did (I think), it's on a laptop acer 4222, verified the patched MD5 too, but I don't understand your number 6 step, how do I repair permission? I think everything's ok, from the pref i see that QE/CI is supported but once inside, everything feels so sloow.. Any Idea? Thx in advance! Update: Tried to search the forum, I managed to have the info about permission, looking at the folder contents, it seems that everything's ok, the permission and ownership is correct. However, my system still so slow though I managed to write this update on it. System profiler reported that QE/CI is supported, mirror off, and one strange thing is that my RAM reported as having 0 MHz speed. Could that be the culprit? Anyway, seems that everything else worked, including my usb-bluetooth-dongle, except the fact that my laptop becomes so slow, no sound and 0 MHz issue.

Ferret-Simpson Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 If you have a real intel mac, just get updated, then copy every file saying *gma950*.* into Extensions. No CI/QE, but wonderful OpenGL support.

droidlev Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 OMG I'm pulling my hair our here! I have a sony sz340P. I used a full install of jas 10.4.8 selected the following: -intel kext -login window fix -GMA950 I'm a little confused on GMA950 versus the nvidia 7400go card. That aside, I understand that I need to use GMA 950 so that I can get the higher resolutuions (I have already set "stretch" in the bios). Right now I did the mod to get the on-board network card up and running. But the system insists on using the nvidia card not GMA 950. How did you guys get the higher resolutions running? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37213-gma950-on-1048-881-latest-no-qeci/#findComment-324481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eLMafUDd Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I know this is a bit late, but does anybody have the relevant kexts from 10.4.7?
