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.

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)

Simple way type -x in booot up arguments

 

Hard way

 

Video Fix - run native @ 1280x800

For 855GM Intel chipsets (Dell 700m has this for integrated video), you can modify the Info.plist of the to make it work properly

 

AppleIntel830.kext -> Info.plist

Remove the 0x35828086 from the 830 portion

Change the 0x25828086 to 0x35828086 in the 915 portion

 

AppleIntel915.kext -> Info.plist

Change the 0x25828086 to 0x35828086 in the 915 portion

 

AppleIntelIntegratedGraphics.kext -> Info.plist

Change the 0x25828086 to 0x35828086

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

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!

Okey, I was just glad to help anyway! ;)

 

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