GMA 950 id 2772 on 10.6.7, no QE/CI
I've finally got everything running well in 10.6.7 except for graphics. Using some modified GMA950 kext (1.6.0) and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer (1.5.30.17), I can change to all available resolutions but I have no QE/CI at all. No…

I've finally got everything running well in 10.6.7 except for graphics. Using some modified GMA950 kext (1.6.0) and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer (1.5.30.17), I can change to all available resolutions but I have no QE/CI at all. No transparencies, no ripples, etc.
When I first installed SL using iAtkos S3v2, I had QE/CI but no resolution options.
I'm trying to take screenshots of windows that may be useful but even those just show up blank. I'm using a Compaq Presario SR5350F if that helps.
No EFI strings in com.apple.boot.plist as I don't even know how to generate them.
Any additional info needed, I will provide.
Thanks a bunch!

@bkribbsDid you use the gma950 enabler kext?
If you mean Natit, yup tried that.. Unless there's a different version that might work?
In any case, my motherboard just got fried so any changes will have to wait till the desktop is up and running again... :-|
Got the computer up and running again, but partition got corrupted due to something I did in Windows Disk Management so had to restart from scratch. This time I use vanilla gma kexts. QE/CI was already working so decided to not replace kext this time, replaced only the framebuffer kext and added EFI string and now get all resolutions + qe/ci, so it's all good!

Is that what you usually use?
intel 945g 0x2772 onboard
Can you exaplain me what u did to make it work?
I have intel 945g 0x2772 onboard and has only the basic resolution.
Can you explain me step by step?
I use iatkos s3 v2.
I have Mobo Asus P5LD2-VM and GMA950 with graphics 0x2772 and I got full QE/CI 1920x1080 full resolution.
The performance of GMA950 is pretty poor, I can watch 720p with a few pause, can't watch a 1080p, however it's good to watch DVD.
You need to patch your DSDT.
This is tricky: Mac OS X 10.6.7 has only 32-bit version of GMA950, 10.6.2 has 64-bit+32-bit, but since 10.6.3+ Apple drops the 64-bit support for GMA950, only 32-bit still available.
So try to boot 32-bit only to see if you got full res and QE+CI then adapt 2 kexts from 10.6.2 if you want to run in 64-bit mode.
Tomorrow I will get back that PC to upload kext and DSDT code for you, now I don't have that PC sorry, please bear with me this time thanks
