I had the same problem on my atom board desktop, what bootloader are you using? If your using chameleon or pc_efi you can load a DSDT.aml file on boot and it solves all GMA950 problems on desktops.. enables full 3d acceleration, res change, and rotation.. it hardwires the GMA950 address, because its a desktop card thats being used, Mac OS X had trouble finding it because all Macs that have it have laptop versions of the card :/ anyway, here ya go, if you don't know how to use DSDT files, let me know..

[erick2red]

so, are you telling us, if we use DSDT patch, we can use stock kexts without patching it?

Yes. On desktop versions of the GMA950 only though.

EDIT: If you use this fix, you NEED to use the stock kexts, not the frame buffer from tiger, otherwise it WILL NOT work.

already tried that one, not working at all.

What device ID do you have? Mine is 0x2772.. and after the DSDT fix, its all perfect.

check out this

That's the one i tried,.
My device is the same as yours.

Sorry about asking this, I know it sounds like I am treating you like a noob, so I apologize, but sometimes it takes the simplest solutions...

where have you put the DSDT file? in chameleon 2.0, it doesn't go at the root of the drive like it used to, it now goes in /extra. Which bootloader are you running?

[erick2red]

doesn't have chameleon 2 yet...kinda afraid cause if chameleon II don't works the i had o reinstall the old one, and i had to do it through terminal, and don't know how...so still with the old chameleon.

[NebKiwi]

Ok, so have you got the DSDT file at the root of your boot drive? if yes, are you definitely sure that you have the stock kexts and only the stock kexts? (no natit etc) I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work :s it works with my card, and our cards are identical..
