Users with GMA 950 / X3100 Real Macs needed here

[joanplanas]

Hello!

 

If I connect an external monitor, I can have 2 separated displays, but If I select mirror both internal and external displays do not work (strange characters displayed).

 

¿solution?

thanks!

[mrbonkers]

does mirror work for any of you people? i cant get it to work with my external display. i'll get lines

[Max1980]

doesn't work mirror on X3100...

and if you try to connect the computer to a projector it goes straight to mirrored mode

any idea how to fix this problem?

[Sophitia]

I've succeeded in making the GMA 950 works without artifact (at least i've yet to see any) on my laptop. Here's what I did:

 

Install Kalyway 10.5.2 with vanilla kernel

Install Paulicat's Natit <-- If I don't do this my laptop's screen will not appear after the update

Install Leopard Graphic Update v1.0

In the list of resolution there is no 1366x768 which is my screen's native so I did this:

Install SwitchResX control panel, make a customized screen resolution and it worked perfectly.

For some reason the editing bootplist won't allow me to change my screen resolution to 1366x768x32@60 (VESA 3, if i leave out the @60 part it just won't change). It always restarted my computer when trying to boot so I just use SwitchResX.

Mirror mode won't work.

If I don't install Paulicat's Natit I will have to connect my laptop to an external screen because a blue screen will stay on my laptop's screen.

Hope this helps.

 

BTW Is this project still going on? I will post my MacBook's ioreg here if you need.

 

In the Macbook which uses GMA950, the report of the graphic VRAM is also 64MB not 256MB although in Windows XP bootcamp of the same machine it reports 224MB. It's just the way it is.

SUCCESS!

 

After reading the last 25 pages, I finally have success on my Vostro 1500 with a X3100.

 

Basic Steps taken:

 

iATKOS r2 install

(Remove all AppleIntel****.kexts)

Kalyway 10.5.2 update

(Remove all AppleIntel****.kexts)

Installed Sleep Kernel 9.2.0

[Do the following 3 in one session without rebooting]

1 - Setup the Sleep Monitor trick to autolaunch

2 - Install the natit.kext

3 - Install Leopard Graphics update 1.0

Reboot (cross fingers)

Wait a couple minutes for monitor to turn itself back on with the sleep trick

 

YAY!!!! FULLY SUPPORTED CORRECT RESOLUTION ON INTERNAL MONITOR!!!

 

Thanks everyone.

I tried to install kalyway on my barebone, almost everything works out of the box except the gma950;

 

Video: partially

Sound: works

Wan: works

Utp: works

 

Eveything works out of the box, the gma950 works out of the box, without artefacts, with acceleration without installing the driver.

 

However, when I try to install the driver, leo hangs with the known blue screen.

When I don't install the driver, and leo goes in sleep modus, I can't wake it up, when I reset I get the very same blue screen as if the drivers are installed magically.

When in usermode I try the /removevideodrivers option I can't boot at all anymore.

Is all of this known? anything I can do about it?

The info:

 

Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

DeviceID: 0x27a2

Revidion ID: 0x0003

 

 

This problem is really getting me crazy since everything else works perfectly and out of the box.

Hello.

 

I'm about to buy a Pundit from asus, the graphic chipset is GMA 950 or GMA 3100.

Is that fully now ?

 

Sorry, i do not know much about osx86.

I'm have a pundit amd, and the x1250 is not support right now, i don't want to buy for no use

[ekahsm]

looks like Dell users with GMA950 (not x3100) gotta live with artifacts or go back to Tiger!

I have tried all solutions suggested here and no go with GMA950

[tehsu]

I have a Sony SZ680 with the X3100, read few people that have this laptop and that have the X3100 working, I installed the Natit.kext and the X3100 that came with kalyway, what else can I do to fix it because I just get a black screen, the only way I can boot is if I remove the X3100 files.

[ekahsm]

tried removing GMA950 related files and the AppleIntelIntegratedBuffer.kext ?

[tehsu]

^^ If your asking me then yes I did, and I installed the Leopard Graphics Update, and now its stuck at blue screen instead of going all black

same here, every time somebody posts success with gma950 I tried, ended up in blue screen, black screen or nothing happened. but never got rid of artifacts. thanks for posting your experience, which confirms my pessimistic view on this. but still hoping that something comes along...

[Ibaneez]

For the blue screen problem after Leopard Graphics update with a 0x27a2, just replace the AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer kext (using -s option on boot)

Just replace this kext, GMA950 drivers from the Leo Graphics update works great.

 

I hope this will help you ! It works for me !

[tehsu]

But I have a X3100? Wont work for X3100 right

Hi,

 

I'll go to test this files now and I'll show the result later.

[Smuxbr]

Hey!

This is works with me! Show in picture.

Thank you for this drivers! now my mac is up-to-date.

Won't work, that's what I'm using.

Changing the resolution in any way, through the boot.plist or any 3rd party program results in the blue screen and unable to recover from it but do a complete reinstall.

[tehsu]

Here is some info I picked up on my Sony SZ, I got into mac and it is set at 800x600@90Hz, which I think is causing my issue with the screen going haywire and showing up like its dead. I think the only way to fix it is screenrez if anyone has any other ideas tell me thanks

 

EDIT: I used VNC to edit the screen res, and the only one that worked is 1024x768@60hz but I got QE and CI

 

Just gotta figure out how to get 1280x800 and its set

 

EDIT2: Installed 10.5.2 from Kalyway cant even get it to work, but it works on Kalyway 10.5.1, any ideas? Still cant change resolution, I am going try iATKOS now

[Proud Bajan]

those with device id 27a2, the files can be found here>>>HERE

[tehsu]

I have got Sony Vaios with X3100 working, I will post How To later you can message me I will respond with the correct files to use, the Framebuffer works and is useable, but it could be better. Works great though.

[foodfightr]

I'm running X3100. Its working but stuck at 1024x768.
