retroneo Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Just to note, there are 3 files which may be of interest: AppleIntel830GLDriver.bundle AppleIntel830GA.plugin AppleIntel830.kext On the Darwin x86 install CD. Although I am unable to test, these may add support for the 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G Intel Chipsets' Integrated graphics.

TonyDennis Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I downloaded the install CD and copied over the AppleIntel830GA.plugin to /System/Library/Extentions, but my system hangs when booting. Unless there's something special I needed to do, it doesn't appear to work. When I boot up, before I select Darwin, I see this message: VESA v3.0 31MB (Intel®852GM/852GME/855GM/855GME Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/389-additional-graphics-drivers/#findComment-4428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudar Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have partially downloaded "MAC.OS.X.PC.ALPHA.2-KOTR" and found in there new nVidia drivers! For I do not have nVidia graphics card I do attach that driver here with the installation instructions given. Maybe smb with nVidia card will find it useful. nVidia_driver.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/389-additional-graphics-drivers/#findComment-27024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thanks for thinking to pull this out of the big download and post it here for us! Unfortunately, they have labeled it a bit misleading, and it is still the original alpha version from around 9/19 that we have already been using. I was very curious if this would be a newer version or not, but didn't want to go through the whole download just to find out, and now I know. Thanks again!

I will post your reply also in another branch where I have attached this file.
