I'm currently on 10.6.8 with GMA 950 graphics using AppleIntelGMA950 kext 1.6.26 and AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer 1.5.30.

I have all resolutions possible and QE/CI working so that's not why I'm posting.

I was just wondering whether the versions I'm using above are the ideal versions to use. I remember replacing the framebuffer kext to get full resolution working and that there are tons of versions out there (1.4.xx, 1.5.xx, 1.6.xx etc.) and from what I've read some are buggy and some worked better.

Anybody have any idea about the different versions of GMA950 and Framebuffer kexts out there and which one works best for my particular device (2772)? I want to get the best possible performance out of this POS graphics card. It can be laggy at times and was wondering whether some versions of the kexts worked better than others.

Thanks a lot for your help.
