Intel 82945GM Boot Issues

Hi all,

 

First things first - many thanks to I_am...me for his excellent guide on getting EFI working. Installation was a breeze...

 

But - I'm using a Toshiba R500 with 2gb and it should be able to use up to 256mb of that as shared Video RAM. However when I start up my install, Darwin is reporting:

 

"VESA v3.0 7MB (Intel® 82945GM Chipset Family Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS)"

 

On using -v I saw some messages similar to:

"VGA: family specific matching fails"

"display: family specific matching fails"

 

So I searched in the BIOS and can't see any settings in there. I even read the manual and it talked about being able to change it in Advanced display settings in Windows (great!). The strange thing is that if I boot again off the DVD and go to System Profiler it reports it as an Intel GMA 950 with 64mb VRAM.

 

I've tried booting with -x but that didn't seem to do anything. I'm afraid I'm a complete n00b so I'm out of ideas - can anyone think of anything else to try?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Mike
