Hello,

 

i have upgraded my laptop from 10.4.7 having all tiny topics solved to 10.4.8 where i had to resolve every little peace again.

 

My main problem that is not yet solved is that after my system boots i can clearly see the mouse pointer in the foreground but

in the background i only see a black screen and few random blue stripes or parts.

 

I can blindly type or click and shutdown my system which means the system is actually working but for some reason the display

is not working correctly. I have tried to reinstall the Intel GMA 900 package fix permissions and cleared cache and reboot.

 

The Laptop though successfully loads and the display is working fine if i boot with the "-x" option.

 

Every hint would be useful,

Thanks.

I have tried the Jas GMA 900 files which actually have those files but didnt work for unknown reason

so i thought i should try to restore them myself.

 

I have done the following to fix the problem i was having with the display.

 

I have backed up the following files from my 10.4.7 installation

 

$ tar cvf GMA900.tar /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel* /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL*

 

copied over to my 10.4.8 installation and did

 

$ cd /

$ tar xvf GMA900.tar

$ cd /System/Library/

$ rm Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

$ diskutil repairpermissions /

$ reboot

 

thanx people.

 

P.S. Somehow we should keep a repository of the needed (working) kexts by case. at least only those

that are legal to share.
