gibsonic Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Any idea on this working with Snow Leopard? Works for me on Snow Leopard. Just install the ElliottAppleIntelGMA950LegacyEnabler.kext into /S/L/E, repair permissions and rebuild the kext cache - reboot and all is well! Just make sure you're using the stock SL framebuffer kext - the one in the first post didn't work for me. Only problem I have so far (very limited testing) is that the Arabesque and RSS Visualizer screensavers cause an instant reboot when going full-screen. They appear fine in the tiny preview window, but hit the Preview button and bye-bye system. Flurry works perfectly though, and the desktop speed is nicely boosted. Oh, and GMA900 / GMA915 doesn't appear in System Profiler any more - it just says "Type: GPU", no chipset model info. Just make sure you're using the stock SL framebuffer kext - the one in the first post didn't work for me. I am telling lies. I must have messed up installing the framebuffer kext. Just tried again and it is PERFECT under Snow Leopard. Arabesque works, correct info in System Profiler - even the screen is detected correctly. Excellent! Now I could just do with adding it to /Extra instead of in /S/L/E. Not sure on the dependencies, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonic Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Now I could just do with adding it to /Extra instead of in /S/L/E. Not sure on the dependencies, though. And one last update - the only additional dependency that needs to be satisfied is IOGraphicsFamily.kext. Drop the vanilla version you have in /S/L/E into your /Extras/CustomExtensions (or your equivalent) along with AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext and ElliottAppleIntelGMA950LegacyEnabler.kext - repair permissions, rebuild the kext cache and reboot. And smile. I'd read so many threads saying GMA900 / 915 was impossible (or too much work) to support on OS X - this solution works perfectly even for Snow Leopard. Top stuff!

BirdRacer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Funny, I couldn't get this to work after working on it for hours. I could change the resolution, but still had no QE/CI. I decided to do the Mac Upgrade to 10.6.1 and work on the video later. After the Mac software update, I magically have QE/CI. LOL! Thanks Apple!!

set77 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Works for me too! I have D915GAV motherboard and running SL 10.6.2 Replaced both files in S/L/E folder. I didn't know that Snow Leopard no longer shows QE/CI status in System Profiler. Here's quick way to check for hardware acceleration http://prasys.co.cc/tag/qeci-snow-leopard/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kocoman Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I am on GMA900 but still getting some superficial corruption of the graphics... ie: the menu bar is shifted, blocky. Does anyone know if the Dell Mini GMA950 10.6 mods use this method or they use the vanilla method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YezdaUrfa Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It doesn't want to work for me in 10.5.8 (iDeneb), it worked with 10.5.6 (iPC). How come some people can make it work in Snow Leopard but it doesn't work in 10.5.8? Anybody got the gma900 working in that version? I'm using a D915GUX motherboard.

SwedenSeb Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi guys! i am in desperate need of help...s i have tried install IAKTOS DVD but that didnt start, and then i installd Kalyway, and im in. but....

Hey Guys, I installed IDeneb 1.3 (10.5.5) on my m55-s3293 laptop with the following specs: http://www.clearanceclub.com/depot/quelle_...om.cgi?sku=4935 the laptop has an intel 900 display, but after I installed the kexts you provided, I don't get support for Quartz Extreme nor Core Image. I am able to change resolutions though so I don't know what I did wrong. attached is a screenshot of system profiler of the Graphics driver as well as another screenshot of the extentions folders showing the kext files I have installed. Thanks in advance guys! (By the way, it took me a while to get to this point, so if anyone needs help installing iDeneb 1.3 on a similar system, let me know. I will be happy to help) Hi guys! i am in desperate need of help...s i have tried install IAKTOS DVD but that didnt start, and then i installd Kalyway, and im in. but....

Works fine on my acer aspire 3620 in Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I do get minor artifacts though. Not mouse artifacts but here and there on the screen.

I'm using a D915GUX motherboard. 10.5.8 is no problem. just update, and then start the computer with the ipc dvd again and only! choose gma900 drivers from the customize list. it will overwrite the framebuffer kext and reinstall the elliotenabler kext. and except for artifacts, all will be well again i'm amazed that no fix has been found so far for the mouse artifact problem though.

liz Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 What is it? This is an enabler kext which gives your Intel GMA900 (i915) graphic card hardware acceleration (QE/CI) support under Leopard. This is not a patched or modified kext. It is supposed to be used in addition to the GMA950 kexts that come with leopard. Details: There are a lot of patched kexts floating around for GMA900 support in Leopard. dfe aka David Elliott has made a great enabler kext which allows GMA900 cards to use stock GMA950 kexts. This means NO patching or hacking is required and you can keep using Apple software updates and take advantage of updated graphic kexts. How to use - Install these two kexts. Reboot. That's all. This works for all GMA900 device IDs (0x2582, 0x2592, 0x2792) Notes You must have all stock kexts. If you are using patched kexts currently, please revert all AppleIntelGMA* to the ones that came with your version of Leopard. The framebuffer is old. Some people may be able to use stock framebuffer too, but most often you will need this older framebuffer kext. Resolution changing and mouse artifacts are related to framebuffer. So if you are trying to fix those, the framebuffer kext is what you want to experiment with first, followed by original GMA950 kexts. Please no OpenGL.framework hacking either. Everything should be original Leopard version. I have not made these kexts, the work is dfe's, I am only bringing it to the OSx86 community and therefore cannot offer any support except maybe adding any new device IDs After installing iAtkos 10.5.5, i added these two files and it fixed my issue not able to change resolution but it is not detecting my 2nd display i have connected. I have core image - hardware accelerated i have q/e - supported Display status - no display connected/attached but it is.. it is connected to a JVC television. I know the display works with my windows and when i bring up the install disk, it displays on both my lcd and tv. Any ideas of what i am doing wrong?

MAC IN TOSH Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hi, I also have Snow Leopard running on Intel GMA900. It's working well but there is something that I consider as a problem and that is Time Machine. I can backup with time machine but I can't enter the time machine. You know all the Graphics and the Space like interface with lots of finder windows, I can't enter the time machine. I had reinstalled Snow Leopard many times because of the graphics card driver (testing Kexts). Now I am tired of reinstalling OS X again. That's why, I wanted to know if any of you all had access to enter time machine after installing the kexts on Snow Leopard or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
