HP 2140 QE GMA950 27a6 SL 10.6.2

[peppi911]

Hi,
i managed to get 10.6 (now updatet to 10.6.2) on my HP 2140 Netbook.
Everything is running fine, except the Graphics Card and QuartzExtreme.

I only have 640x480 Resolution.

Tried every kext i found, but none works with ven. 8086 rev. 27a6.
(I think they are all other usual gma950s are 27ae ?) Exchanging the String doensn't lead to anywhere.
dsdt gma hack doesn't work either.

Anyone here who got QE to work on that netbook?
Its just worthless with this resolution....

0x27AE one needs patched drivers and I guess so is yours...

You might try to patch them as I recently descripted here
http://www.infinitemac.com/f7/get-qe-an-1366x768-working-on-sony-w-t4657/
but of course with your Device ID...

Hope it'll work for you.:)

[peppi911]

Hi thanks for answering!
Am gonna try that.
I havn't found any 808627... in my Hexeditor.
Can that be right or am I doing something wrong?
Bye, Peppi

Ah this was my fault you need to look up for 86 80 A2 27 and replace it with 86 80 A6 27... - sorry for that, it was past 3 in the morning.^^

I also took a screenshot, which might help you. :)

Ahh thanks a lot, also for the screenshot!!!
Now i found several places, strange that they are the other way round, but anyway. Am gonna try that now and will report back!

Danmed,
doesn't work.
Did it exactly as stated.

The efi String i generated & inserted via Osx86tools-

Still no qe and same resolution.
That was my last hope i guess.

I wonder if no one else has this netbook running...

Well alright. First download the file i posted at the bottom of this post. Then unzip and place the 4 files from Extensions folder in /Extra/Extensions and place com.apple.boot.plist in /Extra , then run Kext Utility and reboot, then you should now have a translucent menu bar!

[Imkantus]

@scififan68
What changes have you made on the other two kexts? Are using them with an 0x27A6 GMA950 yourself? Just interested. :)

[scififan68]

I took vanilla 10.6.2 kexts and hex edited both of the binaries of the two Intel gma 950 kexts and put 0x808627A6 into the info.plists. Oh and yeah, I'm on a Dell Mini 10v with a GMA 950 with the Device ID of 0x808627AE

Hi Thanks for this efford again.
I guess what Imkantus means what you did to those IO files, as the rest is nearly the same we/i already tried.

I used your files anyway. First system didn't boot with efiinjection error, so i removed the uhci part in the plist, my book didn't like that.

But unfortunately still no qe and 640 480.
No change! Sh*t,sh*t, sh*t.
That sounded soooo good.

Some other hints anybody?

[Imkantus]

I guess what Imkantus means what you did to those IO files, as the rest is nearly the same we/i already tried.Yep, that was the intention of my question. (IOGraphicsFamily.kext & IONDRVSupport.kext)

used your files anyway. First system didn't boot with efiinjection error, so i removed the uhci part in the plist, my book didn't like that.I don't know why it doesn't work or if it works after all, but some diagnostics:

Could you go to the System-Profiler to Software>Extensions and check back if AppleIntelGMA950 & AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer have been loaded?

Secondary get EFIStudio, and click on "Device Path", type in display and press the "Get Path" button.
The result should match with "PciRoot (0x1)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)" to have the GMA950 Laptop EFI String working properly.

[scififan68]

Ok, go here, download gfxutil http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=64.0 then open terminal cd to the directory you saved it to, then run ./gfxutil -f display then paste the pciroot here and I'll make you a new efistring for you.

Hi. I just cheked it.
You are right, System-Profiler states that they are both NOT loaded.
So the System believes they don't fit and doesn't load them?
Even if i do kextload manually they don't show up.

Device Path = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)

Hi scififan68,
i appreciate your help. Thats the same output i just wrote to Imkantus,
so it's Device Path = PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)

There is hope again,-)
Googleing I found that there is a problem with gma950, 10.6 and Laptops, seems to be a general issue....

Install these just like i said to do with the previous gfx kexts i posted: http://www.mediafire.com/?kjmz1uzuzjh and dont forget to use that efi string or else you'll get nothing but a white screen!

Hi scififan68,
I CAAAn't believe it! there actually was no plist included, so i took the 4 new Files and the plist of your previous posting.
Believe it or not -> Full acceleration and the right resolution!!!
You are the master!
May i ask what you did then, so i might do that when future realeses come or was this complicated to create?

Thats just f+cking great having a translucent bar and widgets spinnign around!
3 times hooray!!!!!!!! thank u thank u! Im gonna play araound with that now and am willing to kick w7 from the book;-)

[scififan68]

Hey no problem, i had to patch them for my netbook anyways! :) It's simple to do, I just used a script that does all the patching for me and puts them on the desktop. and if there in Extra, they wont be replaced when you update and still work after updating. Although, if u still want it, I'll find it and post it later.

Hi sififan68!
So you mainly exchanged the rev. ID with a script? Means what i did via Hex Edit was not properly done?! Well if you have the time for posting it would be nice, i just want to "learn". Actually its save, but who knnows if 10.7 comes faster as one can say steve,-)
much thanks again and again!,
peppi!

Hi, actually i thougth i have 27a6 but in plist its only ae, so probably windows gave me the wrong device id?
Here the link to those 4 Files again, seems to be for ae then?! :

[scififan68]

Peppi911, no just putting 27ae in the plist, it booted into 800x600 and said no driver had been loaded, so im guessing the script also hex edits them. Also there are two device id's for gma 950 on my Dell Mini 10v:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:27ae] (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller [0380]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27a6] (rev 03)
I looks to me that you mistook the 27a6 as your device id, as 27ae is only used in all gma 950 netbooks.

[yoyonapple]

thanks peppi911 for the kexts. I'll let you know the results asap!

I`ve tried to enable QE/CI with correct resolution (1366x768) with these methods

Hex edit AppleIntelGMA950.kext and AppleIntelFramebuffer (look for 86 80 A2 27 and replace it with 86 80 AE 27) and add 0x27AE8086 at the info.plist/IOPCIPrimaryMatch/ of both kexts
Add Intel EFI String at com.apple.boot.plist
Add Patched DSDT from my previous iAtkos V7 10.5.7 install
Run Script 27ae.sh to patch AppleIntelGMA950.kext and AppleIntelFramebuffer
Install previous Patched Kexts of devices with the 27AE ID GMA 950 like Toshiba NB200 or AspireOne


Nothing seems to work , the best result I can get is to have a gray screen, sometimes turns to white screen, then flashes and then turns to black, I even Tried to connect an external monitor (1650x1050 max resolution) but I can only get a "Invalid Input" message.

I have Installed iATKOS v7 and updated to 10.5.8 with iDeneb combo upgrade on another HDD , the GMA950 that comes with iAtkos is the only one that seems to work on vaio W, So I opened AppleIntelGMA950.kext and AppleIntelFramebuffer and I can see that they have been Hex edited with 86 80 AE 27 on the binaries and have been added the 0x27AE8086 at the info.plist/IOPCIPrimaryMatch/, so I can`t understand why doesn`t work when I try to Edit the Snow Leopard GMA950 exactly the same way. It seems that iATKOS v7 does something else besides the patch of the GMA 950 in order to work on 10.5.6 because even the EFI Intel String is not needed on IATKOS in order to work.


Don`t know what else to do, I started to doubt if vaio W has a 0x27AE ID, but on my IATKOS V7 (10.5.7) install on system profiler says that is 0x27AE ID rev 003.

Any help Will be much appreciated
