GMA900 (Intel 915) with KALY + WIFI problem + PowerManagement problem

I have installed KALY LEO 10.5.1 on my old Toshiba M40X Laptop with success (almost) :)

 

My issues are:

 

1. GMA900 / GMA950 problem (Intel 915GM)

I have Intel 915 GFX in my laptop. In system profiler Leo detects this as GMA950 (which is OK) I can change resolution etc. but I don't have QE/CI.

 

In my /System/Library/Extensions there are only AppleIntelGMA950 kext's (original from KALY installation) none of GMA900 are present. When I looked at System Profiler loaded extensions list, there is no GMA950 kext loaded! Why Leo detects GMA950 without loading GMA950 kext? My problem is how to enable QE/CI with this configuration?

 

2. Wireless Intel 2200BG

wireless is not working in native. When I installed iwi2200 from:

http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/

system hangs after installation and after restart don't want to boot.

AFAIK there are no drivers for LEO yet. Am I right?

 

3. Power Managment

After installation I don't have battery icon. I've installed PowerManagement bundle (first for Tiger, then for LEO). Then battery shows up, but indicator always thinks my laptop is charging. When my battery is 100% charged and my AC/DC cable is plugged, icon indicator does not change (should be battery icon with electric lightning bolt) When I was installing updates, some installers ask me to plug AC cable. Is there fix for this issue?

 

PS. Sorry for my poor English ;]

GMA 900/915 is not currently supported in 10.5, (but it is in 10.4, may have to patch in 10.4) So you have software only support.

 

2200- You are right there are no drivers yet..... but you can help to get these working search the forums, as the guy who did the iwi drivers is porting them to 10.5 but needs someone with the card to help. (again this is working in 10.4)

 

Dont know about the power problems sorry
