Something like it applies for 10.6.4. Delete the AppleIntelIntegrated kext, copy stevo's kexts into System/Library/Extensions and fix the permissions for both kexts with chmod -R root:wheel .

2010-04-19T01:50:54.689-07:00

I managed to get the kext working in 10.6.3 by deleting some of the other AppleIntel* kext so now I have AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, AplleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext, AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext (stevos version), AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext (stevos version) and AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext

Its probably only one of them you'd have to delete.

Hopefully this helps somebody

2010-04-18T07:27:35.002-07:00

I am in the same boat as Patrick. Copied the two X3500 kexts into /S/L/E, chown -R root:wheel, remove Extensions.mkext cache, reboot with -f -F (I can never remember which so I use both) -arch=i386 (also tried -x32) : Snow Leopard freezes when during boot before saying anything about the new drivers. When I remove the two kext's from S/L/E, Snow Leopard boots fine.

Colin
Note: I am running 10.6.2 and have HDMI support without using these two kext's. My problem is that I can't change my resolution from 1280x1024 to 1680x1050, the native resolution of my monitor. I do have the 1680x1050x32 string in my com.apple.Boot.plist file, but I don't get resolution choices in Preferences.

2010-01-18T06:20:24.263-08:00

How exactly do I get my X3500 running? I have a P5E-VM HDMI board with retail Snow Leopard installed. I have added the 3 kexts using kext helper, but they never load upon boot up. Do I have to use a GFX string in apple.boot.plist or do I have to boot using certain options? Right now I boot from 3rror1sts boot disk. I believe it loads the 64bit kernel.

I would really appreciate some help from those who have this working.
Thanks

2009-11-21T15:21:39.190-08:00

without your driver,my P5E VM HDMI has got kernel panic.

Installed your driver, running in 32bit, no panic but blue screen via HDMI.

Anyway thanks alot for your great effort. The problem may be the HDMI port, haven't tested VGA port.

2009-10-12T20:56:47.172-07:00

Dave - Good news, Apple has produced 64bit versions for 10.6.2! There is no way to make them 64bit without the source, thankfully Apple will do that for us. Currently its in beta, but I hear there are quite a few bugs. I'm in no rush, particularly because people would ask me why "my" version of the 64bit kext isn't ready, when in reality it is coming all the way from Apple's originals.

Alabamas - Nobody will ever, ever, ever... ever get the X4500 working with X3100 drivers. And, no, the framebuffer working is not at all the same thing. Many people have contacted me on this, and the answer still goes. Some research into Intel's IGP architectures will explain why this isn't possible.

2009-10-12T13:15:22.996-07:00

hi

could you please tell me what you specifically edited in the kexts to make them work?
as i'm trying to make them work with x4500 i i would like to knoew the way you aproached this problem.
thank you very much

2009-09-26T23:14:55.607-07:00

So, you are saying that the Leopard kexts worked with a VGA adapter but the Snow Leopard ones won't? What you're describing sounds like a framebuffer problem. I hate to ask, but are you sure both kexts got installed properly? In creating these kexts I've had it happen myself where one gets installed correctly and the other doesn't.
