Benjan Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Define dark. Backlight but no picture, or picture with no backlight? Sorry, it's T400, Just pretty pretty dim,not totally black, so it has backlight ,right? The sure thing is, no picture at all.

Benjan Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 After patching dsdt with some X3100 string, I got a blue screen after the blue screen now, and the system seemed to be dead. Anyone got a clue? OK， great news: I finally got native screen on thinkpad T400 with x4500 in snow leopard, 1440x900@60Hz, However, only in safe boot mode. Otherwise, it gives a damn blue screen as I said earlier. I couldn't capture screen at this moment, can only get a blank white one. Dunno why. Pls help.

Anyone got a clue?Pls help. Are you using 10.5.x or SL? I run 10.5.8, and mine had the exact same symptoms; blank backlit screen, no picture. There's two ways of fixing it- replacing the AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext and adding Natit.kext (both available from links in my sig), or patching the DSDT and adding display overrides if needed. You may be able to boot using -x, then turn on Screen Sharing so you can work on it using a different pc.

Damn. how can I get rid of "-x"? Is this a know issue or what? Your AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext and adding Natit.kext can get me free of "-x"?

cptcrash80 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Tried installing this earlier today on iPC 10.5.6 (HP G60-530US) and nothing happened. The steps I followed were: First Try Dropped the kext into Kext Helper b7 and used "kext permissions" and "Tag cache rebuild" Installer said everything went fine, reboot, no change Second Try Dropped the kext into Kext Helper b7 Installer said everything went fine, reboot, no change Am I missing a step somewhere?

riws Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 512MB of VRAM ist kinda useless if there is no acceleration. You can alway hack the DSDT for such amount of VRAM, but it wont use it, just show it.
