So in your first post and now your last post, you are saying the system thinks it has a GMA950 GPU in it... does it really? or is the option you selected above accurate?

950 and X3100 are not the same so I'm wondering why you were trying to do this.

moving on... at least you can boot (even if it is only safe mode).

Here's what I want you to do. You're going to delete the video kexts so the system uses a generic driver. Then we will adjust it as necessary later.

I know you didn't install any video drivers/kexts/EFI strings in this latest install but the system still installs its generic variants of them.

boot with -s
Code:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
rm -Rf GeForce*
rm -Rf NVDA*
rm -Rf ATI*
rm -Rf NVinject*
rm -Rf AppleIntelGMA*
cd ..
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
reboot
now it should boot normally (not in safe mode) but without proper graphics, this is an issue we will fix shortly. Let me know how it is coming along.
