GMA 950 id 2772 on 10.6.7, no QE/CI

adnbek · #1 07-13-2011, 11:52 PM

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 help would be appreciated. Any additional info needed, I will provide.

Thanks a bunch!

Did 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...

Is that what you usually use?

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!

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
