as thesog mentioned above, the actual translation is:

 

GMA900 Mac OS X Leopard with Core Image and Quartz Extreme

 

Those with Intel915 Chipset:

 

1) Go to /Systems/Library/Extensions

2) Move, erase, or rename AppleIntelGMA950.kext to disable it

3) Obtain AppleIntel915.kext from your Tiger installation which is 10.4.8 or newer!

4) Edit Info.plist and search for these branches:

 

4.a) IOCFPlugInTypes and rename it to AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin to engage Leopard's native one

4.;) IODVDBundleName and rename it to AppleIntelGMA950DVDDriver to engage Leopard's native one (AppleIntelGMA950VADriver)

4.c) IOGLBundleName and rename it to AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver to engage Leopard's native one

 

5) Repair permissions

6) Delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext

7) Reboot

 

Item 3 is important! 10.4.8 or newer! Item 4.b is also interesting. I found no references to AppleIntelGMA950DVDDriver, but instead I think it should be AppleIntelGMA950VADriver. Try it!

Troisd does this give the illusion CI and QE are supported; or does it still not work properly?

 

Burning my patched BrazilMac Leopard 9a581 as I type... gonna try it tonight. Will let you know. I don't think it is an illusion, more like a "backwards compatible" trick since GMA900, in theory, is a subset of GMA950.
