I've got almost everything working on the sony vaio w netbook in 10.5.8

The only things that I'm missing are

Atheros 9285 wireless support
QE Accelleration on the 950
display is stuck in 1024x600 and should be 1366x768

The only ones I really care about are
QE Accelleration on the 950
display is stuck in 1024x600 and should be 1366x768

Can anyone help? Im desperate here .. at one point there was a fix posted on "wingzero619.net" but the site is gone now. I just need those files really and it will work ... it was working but I thought I was going to sell it and I had to nuke it back to windows.

The wireless isn't an issue because I ordered a broadcom card from the mini9 to replace it with

Field Note #1 @Imkantus 2009-11-16

You need to edit your AppleIntelGMA950.kext and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext - copy them to your Desktop, add 0x27AE8086 to IOPCIMatch in the Info.plist of both kexts, then get a Hex Editor to open both kexts Binary and replace all combinations of 86 80 A2 27 with 86 80 AE 27 - furthermore you will need to add a GMA950 EFI String using OSx86 Tools or EFI Studio.
If your resolution is not possible after that by default, use switchresX to add a custom resolution.

Field Note #2 @peppi911 2009-11-17

danmed, doesnt change anything.

I replaced every single String and installed via kext helper.
Efi string generated with OSXtools.

I found also another in the net i also tried

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>6d0000000100000001000000610000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff0400100000006d006f00640065006c0000000b000000474d4120393530200000004100410050004c002c00480061007300500061006e0065006c0000000800000001000000</string>
