Graphics Problem! (Please read.. I know help threads can be boring, but...)

[jared1016]

Okay
On my computer the resolution is "locked" (the only option) to 1024x768, when the actual resolution is supposed to be 1280x800. In system profiler, everything's wrong, the Vram is supposed to be @144mb and it says no kext is loaded, here are some details (animations are choppy, etc)

Heres what system profiler says:


Display:


Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x2a02
Revision ID: 0x000c
Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
Displays:
Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes



Keep in mind i'm on snow leopard, 10.6.8, and it worked perfectly fine before I installed the combo update (although I never messed around with 10.6.3, I just followed the guide, but everything looked "good" in 10.6.3,) and now it seems like 10.6.8 just kinda ruined my graphics drivers, and the crazy thing is, people have gotten the same graphics driver working on ML, there's just a patched kext.




Specs: Dell XPS m1330
Ram: 3GB
Proccesor: intel core 2 duo 1.5ghz
Graphics: Intel 965m, x3100 (@144mb, 1280x800)

Thanks a ton

Are you booting 32-bit? X3100 is not supported 64-bit.

I've done both, when I boot arch=i386
It boots me into a black screen (In verbose as well)

Then you have a graphics issue. No problem, of course, when the graphics drivers don't load, but when you boot with arch=i386, the drivers will load but (evidently) not function.

Time for you to do some research on what is required to make them work correctly...

I have no details for you, as I have no computers that old.
