The X3100 and X3000 are pretty similar, so I'm hoping at some point there will be support for santa rosa desktops with the X3000 based off a hacked X3000 driver.
#Patch gma x3100 kext driver#
The GMA3100 is similar to the GMA950, so there may be a chance that a hacked GMA950 driver would work with the GMA3100. Wikipedia has a pretty good chart showing the various intel GMA chipsets, and unfortunately all of them have tiny variations. (big difference there, mostly a lack of hardware T+L in the GMA 3100) I don't really blame people, because when I was specifically shopping for an X3000 or X3100 motherboard, I saw LOTS of mislabelled boards on newegg that said they had a X3100, and in reality it is a GMA 3100. I'm just trying to clear this up since we already had this discussion over on insanelymac and it keeps the thread cleaner without lots of G33 chipset owners saying "Help me get my X3100 working!". I'm pretty sure no other intel chipsets come with X3_00 cards, but I may have forgotten one. The closest desktop chipset is the G965, which comes with the X3000 graphics card. The X3100 only comes with a mobile chipset, the GM965.

Intel's documentation will show you that the video chipset that accompanies the G33 chipset is the GMA3100. I don't know what happened.Just to keep things clear, if you have a G33 chipset, then your video card is an GMA 3100, NOT a X3100. The kexts I installed are still in '/System/Library/Extensions'. I checked the boot arguments, and that revealed nothing. When I updated to 10.10.5 (Revision 2 - Recovery Update), everything continued to work, except for one thing - the Macbook is now back to having no audio support.
#Patch gma x3100 kext update#
What I am here to ask about is something that occurred after my update to 10.10.5, Revision 2. I have now encountered the difficult part. Then, I rebooted into the fully-functioning 10.10.5 (Revision 1) OS X desktop. So, I ended up going into the Recovery Image, and deleting 'ist' from the Terminal (fun times?). In order to get to this version number, I had to update from 10.10.0, and when I did that update, I did it without the Software Update patcher.

However, I did mention: "not before learning the hard way".

In order to enable the kexts, I had to pull up KextDropper and enter this in the Terminal:Įverything (including Time Machine :) worked fine without modification after the update to 10.10.2 - except for the fact that I can't change the screen brightness (battery killer status confirmed). I also installed the NoSleep extension, the Software Update Patcher (not before learning the hard way), the AirDrop Enabler, and the System Font extension (which changes the system font to the one used by the Apple Watch).

NOTE: If you are not interested in how I got to this point, skip to the last paragraph.Īs it currently stands, I have Mac OS X Yosemite running on my black Macbook 4,1.
