Hi all.

 

Does anyone know if this will work with my Dell Optiplex GX620? I'm not wanting to try anything yet until I can be sure that it will all work, because I have already got my hackintosh setup the way i want with everything else, with all my stuff on it etc., so if this fails, I don't want to have to reinstall again.

 

So if anyone could shed any light on my hack's intel gma 950 (2770), please let me know.

 

Refer to my sig for specs.

 

Thanks in advance.

hi, I have Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L. I installed snow leopard 10.6.3 with latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] & [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and updated to 10.6.7combo. Everything seem to work out of box except onboard graphic. Will the GMA950 v3 or v4.2 work with 8086:29C2? or should i use Intel_945_gntlkr. Thanks

Hello.

I patched a dsdt.aml file to be placed under /Extra to fix graphics problem for the Dell Latitude D520. It supports ethernet, bluetooth, pcmcia slot (I tried a firewire card) and audio (Voodoo driver). I hope this can help someone.

 

Regards

for those who having problem finding the "Scope (_SI)" string:

copypaste the first part somewhere into the definition block. you can paste into the beginning of the block

 

like:

 

* Compiler ID "INTL"

* Compiler Version 0x20080926 (537397542)

*/

DefinitionBlock ("/DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 1, "A0798", "A0798000", 0x00000000)

{

 

paste here

 

 

Scope (_PR)

{

Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000810, 0x06)

{

 

 

 

paste the second part aftrt the "Device (PCI0)" string like:

 

Device (PCI0)

{

Device (PEGP)

{

Name (_ADR, 0x00020000)

Device (GFX0)

...

 

 

on 10.6.8 it's perfect but

has anyone managed the 64 bit GMA 950 kexts to work? 10.6.2 contains 64 bit kexts as Dr. Hunt wrote in update 10 but even if i use with the patched dsdt it doesn't work.

the strange thing that not even the 32 bit version working anymore (with 10.6.2 kexts). framebuffer and gma950 kexts loaded and display recognized. no translucency and no youtube videos (sound only) and slow refresh at fullscreen other videos.

:wacko:

let's help me!

Dr Hurt,

Would you examine my DSDT and patch this file for me?

Or anybody who has sugestions?

Hi, I ended up extracting my own dsdt.aml from linux, and then using a similar iasl compiler to patch it for osx. When I converted my dsdt.aml to dsdt.dsl, however, there was no Scope (_SI) in the entire .dsl file. Does that mean it won't be compatible with my motherboard?

Ah, good old days :D

 

I feel old now!!!

Hey! Can I ask you a few questions re this?

 

I've got an old sony vaio running 10.6.7 (for a specific purpose) but can't seem to get the gma950 graphics working properly.

 

I've tried your method but the dsdt edits don't correspond and I tried various places to insert the code but keep getting compiler edits.

Can I please ask for your help on this?

If I remember correctly, mobile GMA950 worked OOB. This fix was only needed for the desktop version.

 

Anyway, DSDT edits are no longer needed since both Clover and Chameleon do the required injection.

 

Revert any patches you made to the DSDT and use Clovers graphics injection. Also, make sure that your kexts are untouched.
