Re: SB Intel HD 2000/3000 Onboard Graphics Testing! [DOWNLOAD]
I've used 8400gs but it was too slow so I wanted to use HD 3000. I tested several times but always failed with 'SNB framebuffer not show up ~' on the last booting (black text ) screen ( with option -v).
But I found someone said that is a bug of chameleon so I installed ( replaced /boot with ) the newest chameleon (Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r1229 ). after that the error above disappeared. oh good !!! but I met another error that is ' Buffer pool allocate ~' and screen stopped. BUT it seems the systems was working at that time but only the screen was stopping I think. anyway I disappointed but rebooted it again then I got full hd 3000 with h/w support. Oh ~

Here's what I done.
1. replaced AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext with modified one
BUT I didn't change Info.plist inside the kext above ( I copied original one before then compared both with 'diff unix command' )
2. modified DSDT file to change device id of hd 3000 to 0116
3. I don't know whether /Extra/smbios.plist is related. mine is
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>SMfamily</key>
<string>MacBook Pro</string>
<key>SMproductname</key>
<string>MacBookPro8,1</string>
<key>SMboardproduct</key>
<string>Mac-94245B3640C91C81</string>
<key>SMserial</key>
<string>C02F93FQDH2G</string>
<key>SMbiosversion</key>
<string>MBP81.0047.B0E</string>
</dict>
</plist>
mine is using DVI port with 1080p monitor .
