Is their a way of turning off the external display, I don't have the option in BIOS, mine is setup as a dual display in bios. The no cursor issue may be related to the white lines problem.Д¬ould it be that the kexts are setting the external display as primary and the internal as a mirror display? I'm using iAtkos 10.5.7, I have replaced all the GMA* kext's with ones from the 10.5.7 combo update.ДЄnother thing I have noted is that with stock kext's I am stuck with 1024x768 but the X3100 kext get's loaded. What I mean is that 8086 is all that is left, no device ID is patched in at all. Its kind of hard to use with no mouse and white lines everywhere Anyways hope to find a solution for this too. At the moment I'm trying with tienneke to address the no cursor issue which seems to be only affecting Lenovo users. I also get them but when you connect to an external display the lines are not there on external display (they stay on the built-in). Going by others results it does not affect anything (at the moment ). It is OK that it says it does not have a display attached. 8086 is actually the Vendor (Intel) so it should stay as this. Technically the end result of the script and the pre-patched kexts should be identical. If you want me to provide and further details just ask.

I've removed OS X for now, needed the extra space, but will install it again later today.

#Intel gma 4500 Patch

I did notice that without the patch System Info shows that I have a Inbuilt Display attached, however when using the patched kext's it shows no display attached. When using pre-patched kext's I get the native resolution, but with white horizontal lines every other pixel, making the display hard to read. I have a Toshiba е…ѓ50-20G and the patch fails too, for some reason the device ID is not injected into the kext at all, it's just left with >8086 Last update: Jat 23:17 CET: New patcher script > No workaround yet, looking into it atm > workaround: change the cursor size in system preferences - mouse (till it's really huge, not so handy, but at least it works )

#Intel gma 4500 update

I'll update this thread every time a (more or less) stable breakthrough has been made, and everytime a new patcher script comes out. If you don't get response here, you can (most of the time) find me or other guys willing to help you on the IRC channel #GMA_X4500 at In your post please include hardware info (both laptop type/brand and video card device ID) and software info (osX version and distro) Please post your results in this thread, be it good results or bad results, we'll try to help you. This only applies to people previously running kernel extensions provided by me in the other thread. Make sure you have the vanilla version of the kernel extensions (being AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext and AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext in /System/Library/Extensions).

Reboot and (hopefully) enjoy native resolution.

#Intel gma 4500 driver

Once you executed the script, repair permissions using disk utility (in Applications/Utilities, click on your primary harddrive, and on the first aid tab click on repair permissions.) This might take a while, but will make sure that your driver can be loaded.

The command will give you some output for feedback.

at the end of the line, add following options: -rf *your device ID* (it should look something like /Users/username/Downloads/patchX4500.bash -rf 2A42.

drag the script from the location you downloaded it from to the terminal.

type sudo -s and enter your user password.

Once you know your device ID, download the script attached to this post, then follow these steps: The device ID starts with 0x and then 4 numbers, probably 0x2A42 (for X4500MHD) At the moment only framebuffer works, which means getting native resolution, no QE or CI yet, but hey, it's already great to have native resolution.Д¬oldequation has modded a patcher script provided by Trauma, with wich you can patch the stock AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext's to give support for X4500 graphics cards.ДЄll you need atm is your device ID (you can find it in system profiler (/Applications/Utilities/System Profiler or about this mac -> more info) under graphics section. Over the last few weeks there's been a lot of advances in getting X4500 support in osX86.
