vml2607 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Intel GMA 950. Compaq C500 Leopard 10.5.2 Kaly + kaly update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshitcat Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 This is a driver problem which was partially solved with Leopard Graphics Update. I say partially because once the update installed mouse tearing dissapears 99% but you can't change your resolution so your games and fullscreen keynote presentations, basically anything that would change the display resolution may not work. Decide which one is more important to you. I say get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakemon Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Here's the situation for me. My system has two video ports, DVI and VGA. DVI is provided by an ADD2 card to expand the onboard GMA950. With stock GMA950 drivers from Kalyway 10.5.1 install, mouse tearing, both video jacks work and allow me to span and have QE/CI and resolutions. After update, only VGA works, and ANYTHING attached to DVI locks up the WindowServer, but I do get QE/CI, and resolutions. Oh, and no mouse tearing, but scrolling in Safari bookmarks menu causes the menu to flicker. Oh, and forget about going back to the original drivers without reinstalling. I tried, and couldn't get OpenGL games or graphics to work, and when I tried again, I totally hosed the system and couldn't boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyiki Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 you dont need to do leopard graphics update...i have the GMA950 and i have solved the mouse artifacts and tearing issue by doing this: 1) Download the GMA950.zip file from the link below and extract the GMA950 folder to Desktop. http://www.sendspace.com/file/n9132u 2) Go to the Applications folder, then Utilities, then open up Terminal 3) In Terminal, type the following commands sudo su (then enter your password) rm -R /system/Library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/Natit.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/Natit.kext chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/Natit.kext kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions diskutil repairPermissions / 4) after terminal has finished repairing disk permissions, close terminal and reboot computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almostastr8boy Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Thanks stickyiki!!!! Who would have thought fixing this minor annoyance would be so easy? I followed your steps to a "T" and upon reboot all artifacts and mouse trearing is gone and I can still control all my resolution and QE and CI work still. I have yet to find a single thing that would make this fix not perfect. I'd been debating just saying screw it and installing the graphics update but now there is no need. Thanks again.....
