DanOMan Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I just installed Leopard onto my system. It went flawlessly and everything works, including Network, Sound, and Video. Â The video supports Software Core Image and I can change resolutions, but Quartz Extreme is not supported. I know it was supported in previous versions of Mac OS X, so is there a way to get it to work in Leopard? Â Does anyone have a driver or some way to get QE supported for the GMA900? Currently the only kext that is loaded is the IntegratedFrameBuffer, but it does detect it as a GMA900, so I don't really know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOL_fan Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 No GMA900 support in Leopard? Not even with Diabolik's patch? Â Yet another reason why I'm holding out for an easy, breezy, pre-cooked Leopard OSx86 install DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espionage724 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Kalyway's Leopard DVD has Intel 900 GMA support and 950 GMA. Its patched for Intel SSE3 though. I would also try installing Leopard without a Video driver. Fixed my Intel 950GMA problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOMan Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ok, well I did try to install Leopard without drivers, which gave me limited CI software support. Also, I tried loading the Diabolik drivers, but it said that not all my dependencies were met... probably because of Leopard changes? Â Does anyone have the Drivers found on the Kalyway Leopard DVD? I would like to try those, see if they work. Â Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanOMan Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ok, well I wasn't able to find it. Plus, I don't want to download the entire DVD for just one driver. If anyone has it, that would be great if I could get it. Â On another note, if I were to get another motherboard (I think mine is on the fritz) what chipset would be best to get? Which one will be closest to the Apple configuration? 945G, 945GC, etc. Â Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systimax Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Im in the same boat anyone know where to get the apple integrated frame buffer for gma900 and leopard? Diaboliktold me on irc that paulicat may have made one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Connor Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'm in the same boat now. >_< Genie effect, Dashboard, Spaces, etc... all... so... ugly... Please provide a driver for us, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulicat Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I don't have anything for the gma900, but I am working on a Natit variation to get gma950's to work in leopard without the graphical glitches that are there now.  I don't plan on supporting gma900 either btw. Time to get new motherboards guys, and if you want easy breazy leopard installations get a gma950 based board. Asrock Conroe1333-D667 is one good cheap choice  Paulicat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systimax Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 some of us cant. In my case i cant swap my laptop mother board, Id buy a macbook if im going to do that. Â And on my desktop I would have to buy 4 gigs of DDR2 ram to replace my DDR Ram for the new MB with a GMA 950 since I cant find any GMA950 boards that support DDR Â If anyone finds a file let me know. maybe we can convince Diabolik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Connor Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Same here, systimax, if I'm going to replace my laptop's motherboard, I'd rather buy a MacBook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balla Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I have the same problem with Leopard and Intel 915G Â My question is: if I buy an ATI X1600 (the same of the MacBook Pro 2,16GHz) will Leopard work properly with QE/CI? Do you think that I'll need patched kext or QE/CI will work out of the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOMan Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 If we won't be able to get GMA 900 to work with Leopard, what would be a good PCI-E card that would work fully supported out of the box? One that is possibly decent priced as well as providing good graphics for photo editing, etc.? Â Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerD004 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I think a strong number of us have slightly older laptops and we simply can't afford to upgrade. This is why we don't all have MacBook Pros at the moment. If you find some spare time, please look into getting GMA 900 working with Leopard. Thank you.

enb14 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Cool Paulicat I want my GMA950 to work using a natit like variant, unfortunatelly I have a Geforce 8500 which also doesn't works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozh Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Should we start some kind of a pool to help motivate some one to do this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Cool... So now we'll need natit for Intel GMA too. Good luck making the injector paulicat. Looking forward to seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOMan Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Anyone know how to possibly recompile the GMA 900 drivers from 10.4.8, etc. or are they different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuhkaX Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 There are GMA900 drivers from the Kalyway 9A527 DVD on the demon. Don't know if they work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOMan Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Does someone want to test those / post them somewhere, so we can see if they work or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseCake Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 No, they don't, at least not on ToH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOMan Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 So the drivers must just be the same ones from the 10.4.8 or 10.4.10 release, rather than changed for Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
