@nasdakhere's my conf : thinkpad x61s (intel x3100) ideneb 10.5.6 i tried your file to stop a bug that occurded randomly at startup : i got a blue and black screen with blinking lines and boxes, the system was stuck and needed hard reboot. I installed succesfully your kext, it seemed better, but i had another one of this failed boot (still…

Hmm… VGA Should work

I think there was a little error when I packaged the files.

Try the abandoned LaptopNeeds Release:
tiny url.com/LapNeeds

Just deselect PowerManagement and AppleACPIPlatform and Install.

Author Update #6 @SaCleoCheater 2009-07-28 ↳ Re: @nasdak
@nasdakworks like a charm! thanks are the last x3100 drivers included?

Yep, VGA Should work but NEVER EVER use Mirror Dispays

Author Update #7 @SaCleoCheater 2009-07-28 ↳ Re: @nasdak
@nasdakwhy? i was currently looking for the option!

It will result in Messy displays and you may need to reinstall OS X... Scarrry

Author Update #8 @SaCleoCheater 2009-07-28 ↳ Re: @nasdak
@nasdakthanks, now everything works except sleep on my x61s

No problem :

Instead of using Mirror Displays, I do this...

  1. Open System Prefs
  2. Click "Displays"
  3. Go to the "Arrangement" tab (with second display plugged in)
  4. Drag the little white bar to the external display

You maybe able to fix sleep with a DSDT, but I wouldn't know too much about that.
Good Luck with your Hackbook!

Field Note #4 @WinLinMac01 2009-05-20

What do you mean obsolete? There is no OSx86 release that has 10.5.7 integrated "yet"? Please re-upload the .pkg for this driver. I'm currently reinstalling iPC OSx86 (after many months) on a Lenovo R61 since I've found a solution to get AD1984 audio output working. Thanks.

As for those that are looking for an alternative .pkg to get the x3100 video working you may download the following attachment (at the provided link) but there is no guarantee it will work since I myself have not tried it. However, you can also visit the following thread for more info. - Cheers. =)

You can also try the following .pkg as another alternative (extract .zip file first)

Here is another guide I found via InsanelyMac (HOW TO - INTEL GMA X3100 FULLY working!With Dual Monitor!, without sleep trick on SONY VAIO VGN CR220e, Thats REAL!)

Good Luck and let's keep this discussion rolling. I'm eager to get this O/S working on this laptop once and for all. My next post will explain how to get the audio output working on the Lenovo R61.

WinLinMac01 is back! =p

Field Note #6 @nasdak 2009-07-28

here's my conf :
thinkpad x61s (intel x3100)
ideneb 10.5.6

i tried your file to stop a bug that occurded randomly at startup : i got a blue and black screen with blinking lines and boxes, the system was stuck and needed hard reboot.

I installed succesfully your kext, it seemed better, but i had another one of this failed boot (still same blinking screen...). Do you know where it could come from?

Another question : vga out doesn't work, should it?
