![]() I had posted a few guides re: installation of MLPF'ed ML on GMA950/GMX X3100/GeForce GT7xxx Hacks back in 2013 but it would appear the thread disappeared in some distant past. A link to the old 2012 thread at MacRumors was provided above, you may refer to it. This hack was limited to ML and no hacks provided support for those old and obsolete GPUs in subsequent OS X/macOS versions. The fat-binary graphics kexts provided in 10.6.2 were very buggy in 64bit mode and hardly usable. Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 superlotion51, 1. There never was support for GMA950 (and others) in 64bit kernel mode, so ML had to be run in 32bit kernel mode to obtain graphics acceleration. The hack basically consisted of reverting the kernel, the kexts and several graphics-related frameworks to versions of ML DP1, the only ML version that was released in fat-binary mode. In case you missed it all over the last 8 years, support for GMA950 (and others such as GMA X3100, GeForce GT7xxx) was dropped in 2012 when ML was introduced with 64bit-only kernel and kexts.Ī special hack called MLPF was developed soon afterwards in order to run ML on platforms with such GPUs. Laptop users however, are out of luck this especially 8 years after this thread was created and 7 years after its last got a contribution. A cheap nVidia GeForce 210 or ATI Radeon HD5450 will get the job done perfectly if you have a desktop PC. You still need DSDT or EFI string injection. Install using kext wizard or whatever other utility you like. Use the 10.6.2 extensions attached below to get resolution changing and QE/CI. ![]() System animations lag, full screen videos are almost unwatchable, flash videos are not working properly. The drivers are painfully slow especially at higher resolutions. ![]() These drivers can be used to provide partial support for GMA950 under OS 10.8 As you probably know by know, most GMA950 drivers that were provided by Apple were 32-bit extensions and therefore will no longer work with OS 10.8!Īpple has included 64-bit drivers for GMA950 in the OS X 10.6.2 update. As of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple has completely removed support for 32-bit kernel extensions and the new kernel no longer supports booting in 32-bit mode. ![]()
