First b00t in 10.4.8 GUI Steve Jobs says… Boom!
Oct 25

My GMA 950 integrated graphic card was supported out-of-the-box!
Just a glitch, I was not able to choose a resolution bigger than 1024×768…

Here is a quick fix for that:

Just replace the 10.4.8 AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext
with the one from 10.4.4 (also on JaS 10.4.6/7 DVD).

In Terminal:

sudo -s
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext.original
cp -r /Users/skr3dii/tmp/AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext
chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext
chmod -R 755 AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext

cd ..
rm Extensions.*
reboot

Now I want the 10.4.8 IONetworkingFamily.kext, stay tuned…

    I see that you use update_prebinding instead of the usual kextcache deleting. I know what update_prebinding does, but I didn’t know it cleared the kextcache. Does it?

    No need for update_prebinding here. Adapted. Thanks.
