Did as told and something odd happend along the way after applying smbios my internet connection via ethernet was lost and my screen went even stranger and it was impossible to boot with ethernet cable hooked in. So now i have reinstalled everything from square one and i got internet connection once again. I will take it slower this time and work on getting the LVDS working before messing up more stuff. What i have done is installing the kext that was listed at first page fakesmc etc . And i have made a org.chameleon.boot.plist. Left to do is to get audio working and the internal screen working . Still i can´t how ever boot without the freaking usbpen .

Wow you guys work fast here I love it . And nice info i will try reboot again then and apply these changes and see if it will boot properly after that. Since About this mac show correct info i guess smbios would be proper stupid to install or am i wrong. Is there a risk that cpu and graphics will be messed up if i lets say put it on MacBook Pro 6,2 instead of current iMac 11.1 as it is default . I am running it on laptop so i guess it would be more logic using macbook plist but since stuff is read right its at same time overkill ain´t it ?

Hi there I got the advice to run this installer and after many tries and headache I am now running it. How ever I have some issues still. I have to use the usb pen in order to boot and once i reach the login screen i have to use external screen via VGA port because my LVDS goes black. I tried downloading chameleon wizard but ML didnt allow me to install it since it´s not from the app store. So i dragged it from other partition to ML disk and i used the pre boot dmg from usb and dragged that extra folder to my ML installation since i couldn´t make one myself since chameleon won´t work properly. It seems like my Graphics Card was correctly identified at start just at my cpu and ram so i dont know if there is any point to make a smbios.plist or not to put in the extra folder. Sound i got working with the VoodooHDA 2.7 something and ethernet i have up running with the intel1000e.kext. So how can i make ML boot without usb and how can I make ML understand that my main screen is internal. One last thing how to change the invert scroll ?

Okey i see . I have now made a org.chameleon.plist file in extra along with a smbios.plist also installed the legacyagm.kext in s/l/e after changing vendor id and device id to 1002 68a1. Tried fiddling around with various aticonfigs as u mentioned and nomascus aswell without any diffrence at all. About this mac now doesn´t say I7 anymore but only @2940 mhz , but it is properly shown in benchmark programs. i read the thing about sudo ./SSDTGenPR but couldnt understand that at all but i will give it one more shot later and try to understand it. I have never hacked och tried on these kind of things i have only been messing around in windows register a few times with simpler tasks going by guides on how to . Tried smbios.plist for MacPro 3.1 /MacBook Pro 6.1 / 6.2 Imac 11.1/11.2/11.3 nothing really changes any outcome. Tried enabling both p and s state but that gave cpu kp with only P state i saw no diffrence toggled graphics enabler on off no change. Cinebench looks at my card as a 5750 but perhaps that is nothing to care about. About this mac still only calls it 5000 . Perhaps only way to settle this is trying to make if possible small dsdt with the necessary information about cpu ram and graphics if its possible to just add those things but i suppose mobo info etc etc is needed aswell in order for it to run properly.

Thanks I will read up on all this one last question though. I have read somewhere that you should pick the smbios closest to your actual specs from start does it matter ? Because if i where to choose MacBook Pro then 6.1 or 6.2 i would be wrong i assume since they are running other cpus and nvidia graphics 512 mb?

Yes correct i got a notebook or desktop light depending on how you look at it. I haven´t changed the smbios.plist yet since my most recent re install after a couple of bad choices trying to chase performance gain. Just to be sure we are talking about the smbios.plist located in the temp folder or is there another? I tried with help of chameleon wizard last install to change to diffrent modes but i didn´t notice any changes in performance at all but perhaps it´s deeper rooted then just that. Regarding framebuffer all pages i have read says I am supposed to run Nomascus if I am not mistaking ? But to try out a diffrent is that by using the AtiConfig= command at boot or do i have to dig into some plist and edit it ? I added a file on screenshot of cpu id and gpu z from windows just to make sure you know what exact card I have. The LegacyAGPM do i just put that in S/L/E amongst with all others or is that supposed to be placed in some diffrent Folder? A lot of newbie questions but I have only been trying for 3 weeks without anyone to help me except reading forum threads all around the web.

Hi new here been searching forums like mad for over 3 weeks now about how to get my Graphics card to work like it should in Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have tried various install variations 32bit 64bit mode. I have tried pretty much every kext i have been able to find that "states" fully working 5850 etc. I can open every application that i have installed except DVD then i get an error message. When running Cinebench 11.5 i get 13.3 FPS if using Xbench 1.3 118.9 OpenGL Graphics test And 122,84 on the Quartz Graphics Test on user Interface Test i get 164,56. So i have figured out that it seems like i have QE/CI working somewhat but perhaps not perfect. If running System Info it says the card is fully working. When i plug in display to vga port my lsvd or main screen what u call it goes black, if i plug into the hdmi both screens get picture but if i unplug hdmi main screen goes black. I have no DSDT at the moment since I still havent figured out how to compile one i have tried extracting from mac os x but that seems totaly wrong and i have tried using AIDA64 on my windows side but when i choose save table i get 7 diffrent SSDT files. In the about this mac tab it states i got a macmini 2.1 and my cpu is displayed with I7 1,79 ghz and ram is correctly shown but graphics card says 5000 series. With the system info app it seems like my card is using 4 diffrent kext to get it to run "correctly" i have tried scanning olarilla.com for kext but most of those that system info claims I am using i can´t download for some reason. I have found all four with Confirmation about my card in the info on what cards are supported for that kext. Any help would be great so i can get this working a bit better.
