Is anyone experiencing problems with video acceleration and QE/CI after 10.6.3 with the GMA950 kexts? The resolution is working fine, but the menu bar is no longer translucent and video acceleration is bad..even with just opening menus. I've tried all assortments of kexts for the gma950(27ae) and they all experience the same problem. If you have a fix or know what kexts are the issue please PM me.

@scififan68Grab these (media fire.com/?ulmbgzonbi3) place in /E/E run kext utility and when it's done reboot(But make sure you have an efi string or chameleon with intel gma graphics enabler (osx 86.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=1118&d=1267478706))
Thanks! The kexts worked. Now the only issue is to fix the display waking up from sleep. I'll remove the clamshell.kext to see if that corrects the problem.

There is a replacement for clamshell and you may find it here (mek lort.com/?p=213)
idk if you have tried but I use a dsdt edit that allows loading of the gma kexts unpatched for some versions of the gma 950. just a heads up if you haven't tried it. If this is in a netbook or a laptop you can try using netbook installer to patch the gma kexts for you and build a custom dsdt for your rig.

Dude, do you have any idea how to make GMA950(AE) to boot up normaly on DVI with resolution 1920x1200 (only less than 1600x1200 is possible for me). VGA on the same board (Intel D945GSEJT) does not have this problem. When I set two monitors, I can make both DVI and VGA to work full 1920x1200, but only VGA can boot with that resolution, doesn't matter which is primary, or extended (DVI got black screen when boot up). I have Snow 10.6 4, and have tested a lot of kexts so far (how to use this yours, do I need all of them?)... Have Chameleon2 RC3. I would appreciate a sugestion, because I need to find a solution somehow (use a DVI KVM switch).
