Persechini Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I am no expert, but a possible way to fool your video bios is to wire pin 1 to pin 6 and pin 2 to pin 12 (Check the web for a pinout diagram--they are all over the place) As a test this can be done on the female plug on your laptop using two thin flexible pieces of wire. It then might make sense to modify a 15 pin male plug from radio shack to have on hand for this purpose. Although not strictly necessary, using two low value resistors to bridge the pins is probably not a bad idea. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyl Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have a dell i6000 and use Vanja's S-adaptor to get QE and CI working under 10.4.3 8F0999, I didn't edit anything. That is good enough, got s-video plug and resistor (100 ohm) from radioshack, only about $8 bucks. But my Dell 1350 wireless card is not working in 10.4.3, so go back to 10.4.1.

Asim A. Ghafoor Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Working Solution When you boot with the modified 915 kext files and you get blue boot screen. Try this: I boot with -f swith. As soon MAC Gray screen disapears and you see blue screen press [Output Display Change key] on your notebook. It is usually Fn key + F4 key and wait. Don't press it two times. I have hp/compaq nx6110 notebook. It is working with all QE and QI supported. I have also working Wireless LAN. No crashes at all. For Wireless LAN to work you need to copy modified Airport2 kext files found on this forum. Good Luck and Happy Christmas Asim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any features in your bios about the graphics? How did you follow the tutorial? Also, what wireless card do you have? And shouldn't you have Ati graphics? --urby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbz Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 *sigh* merry christmas, but i dont think this will ever get going. we need coders, programers. Where the heck is maxxuss?!? hopefully we'll see some drivers with the new intel macs. -Urby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbz Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 maybe this is usefull? http://developer.apple.com/documentation/D...hello_kext.html i killed my hfs partition yesterday so i can't try anything, but i'll take a look at it later. Would it be possible to decompile a kext? Anyone know? I could have a look at it, although xml isn't really my thing. I was thinking, if we could decompile it, we could look for possible boot up instructions or memory mappings. Or maybe parts of the driver that look for bios options... So even though i probably couldn't go that far with it, I'll nonetheless ask, can ANYONE point a brother in the direction to decompile a kext? -Urby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironblood Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thank JoeP!!! I owe you one big time! The blue screen was killing me on my Toshiba Satelite M70, its now working and i'm always booting without blue screen now! THanks again, great tip for toshiba users i guess! edit: hmmm i just missed once and got blue screen, I guess its not 100% but a helluva lot better than always blue screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 did you notice any mistake in my tutorial? at least we know it works for toshiba laptops, now... thanks a lot for replying to this topic, ironblood! by the way, happy new year! :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanja Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Well, I guess everybody is waiting at the new Macworld. I hope there will be introduced new Powerbook with os x86 what would solve our problems with VGA and wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luzbel Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 6. Done. 7. No need. Two reboots will do the trick. Done. 8. Done. Large desktop 9. I was there. Done. 10. Done.* 11. Done. Even with a hurting-eyes refresh rate on my old CRT. 12. Done. 13. Done. Settings are kept both upon reboot and upon shutdown. 14. Done. Shutdown, disconnected both power cord (just in case) and VGA -and no battery connected, fired up the laptop, changed settings in BIOS (Power On Display set to auto), saved changes two times, shutdown, disconnect of power cord, reconnected it after 1 minute, fired up, checked settings in BIOS are kept, shutdown. Firing up... 15. Failed. Blue screen. This is on a Toshiba Satellite L20-101, with Phoenix BIOS (latest from Toshiba.com). Fn+F5 method didn't do the trick. About Step 10, I'll check if it works leaving the LCD on the wrong side. Also will try setting the lower resolution rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suleiman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Guys I'm just about fed up with the 16 pages of ranting and sometimes working solutions in this thread. We've all had our taste of QE or CI and sometimes both. We all know how sweet it is to run OS X the way it was meant to be run, without any graphical hinderances. And many of us have set this up as our primary OS...for movie viewing, graphic work, and yes, even digital move editing. Yet we are still plagued by this ridiculous problem: having the right card but the wrong screen. To everyone that has contributed with your ideas, suggestions, and potential fixes, I thank you dearly. To everyone that hasn't been able to successfully apply any of the aforementioned fixes, I propose we step this up a little bit and start a pool for an offerring to Maxxuss or anyone else that can fix this problem, payable upon receipt of a proper working solution. I'm going to start it off with a modest $15 dollars. Who's with me? Edited January 10, 2006 by suleiman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanja Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I could also participate with $10 - 15, but I am more looking for wireless solution than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suleiman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 That's great vanja, anyone else willing to lend their support? So far the pool is at 25-30 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
