Have you tried this solution?

http://forum.osx86scene.com...

Remember, if you use a graphic device string in your com.apple.Boot.plist file, you need to delete any graphic kexts that you added in your Extensions folder.

You just need to look for the correct device string or injector (kext) for your graphics card.

After following blacksocks advice for eliminating the mouse artifact issue with gma950 I found that the mouse artifact issues had gone but every menu was corrupted/sufferd from major artifacts.

I then went to the apple website and downloaded LeopardGraphicsUpdate 1.0.dmg and installed. This fixed the menu problem and the mouse problem remained gone also!

I am not sure whether it was just the graphics update or blacksocks but I have a feeling it had something to do with blacksocks as the mouse problem did disappear after doing what he said.

I use OS X Kalyway 10.5.2 with the vanilla kernal.

Thanks.

@Henry

This solution for fixing your mouse tear is from the uphuck forums:

1) Download the GMA950.zip file from the link below and extract the GMA950 folder to Desktop.
http://www.sendspace.com/fi...
2) Go to the Applications folder, then Utilities, then open up Terminal
3) In Terminal, type the following commands

sudo su (then enter your password)

rm -R /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext

rm -R /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

rm -R /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle

rm -R /system/Library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle

rm -R /system/Library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin/System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

cp -R /Users/your-username here/Desktop/GMA950/Natit.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950.kext

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/Natit.kext

chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/Natit.kext

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

exit

4) Close Terminal
5) Go to Applications then Utilities then open Disk Utility
6) Choose your macintosh partition and repair disk permissions
7) Once it is finished, close Disk Utility and restart your computer

Hey,
i'm not sure if this is the right thread for my problem.
I have a HP dv5237cl laptop with GMA 950 integrated graphics card, I had a problem after installing iATKOS v1.0r2 where i had one resolution of 1024x768, and I followed the guide at this link:
http://forum.insanelymac.co...
and fixed the problem. but not i have the "mouse artifact" problem where some pixels on the screen goes gray or dark.
any ideas on how to fix this? thanks.

@blacksocks

Oh and I forget to mention, THANK you for the starting point. I just tried to follow your steps and expand upon it. That's what the osx86 community is all about! :)

@r0cks0ul

Kernel version is Darwin 9.1.0. My MBP has 9.2.0 though.

r0cks0ul — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:37:19 -0000

What about your kernel?
I think you are still using 9.0.1 kernel ToH

@Stat.Mech

Thanks for the info. I will try it if and when I have a problem with my hackintosh. Right now it is working perfectly fine (including Apple's software updates). Besides, I have not been able to make my rig work without including the SSE2/SSE3 kernel patch in both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2. Others may want to try it though.

Re: Updating to Leopard 10.5.2 on a Hackintosh

Here's a 'better' way, which allows you to keep most MORE of the updated 10.5.2 stuff (NOTE this is for ppl running Intel Core 2 Duo or siimilar specs):

1. If your system is hosed/bricked, used the above guide (select those particular patches/drivers in 'customize' section) PLUS select 'stock kernel' and 'stock appleacpiplatform'. Run your installer till it finishes.

NOTE: do not select 'sse2 sse3 kernel' as suggested in this guide, that's a replacement 'mach_kernel' which overwrites your 'stock/vanilla' kernel, if you happen to use that.

2. By now, you would have more or less restored your system back to when you bricked it (certain drivers/stuff may be off, whatever doesn't matter bec. we are gonna write over much of that).

NOTE: if you are satisified with everything, you can stop here. But I do not recommend it, because you are left with a system that still contains a substaintial amount of non-10.5.2 kexts.

3. Now, download a stand-alone copy of the 10.5.2 combo update (official, from apple), run it and use the Devin (simplified NETKAS, insanelymac forum) method.

NOTE: the Devin method works 100%, ONLY thing you need to watch out, is for laptop users and certain desktop users, the keyboard and trackpad may become disabled after the restart (after update finished). I STRONGLY recommend replacing your newly updated (which will be broken for most people) 'applecpiplatform.kext' with your old one (from 10.5.1 install, or just extract it form your iATKOS 1.0i or Kalyway DVD if you didn't back it up).

NOTE2: even if you forgotten to back it up, it's not lost; you can boot into an adjacent partition, and copy a old version of the 'applecpiplatform.kext' and replace the new one. REMEMBER after replacing any kexts, you gotta do your repair permission stuff (i.e.: run disk utitily on your leopard partition, repair any wrong permissions).

NOTE3: if you screwed up doing the Devin method, most likely you typed in the wrong code. I recommend keeping a browser window open, and copy Devin's code line-by-line into the terminal. Trust me, his method works 100%.

4. Now you should have a working 10.5.2 update, and ONLY with two files missing/not of the 10.5.2 version: 'applecpiplatform.kext' (which you have replaced with an older, most likely 10.5.2 verion), PLUS a missing 'applecpupowermanagement.kext'. This is a good point to stop.

5. Continue with the graphics update.

NOTE: the graphics update is only good for people with real MacBook Pro's. If you have a HACK, most likely the graphics update will screw your video card (it did to mine) or slow it down.

But hey, you are adventrous, so go ahead and apply the update if you wish.

WARNING: before doing so, back up any graphics-related kexts in your Extensions folder (don't know where that is? google it) FOR YOUR GRAPHICS CARD, in case you need to restore them later. Then download the 'stand-alone' version of the graphics update (offical, from Apple), and just run it.

If you have a new system after the graphics update, and it works fine, good for you.

If you f**ked up your graphics (e.g.: graphics re-draw issues), as it was for me on my HP DV6000 (with intel gma950 card), just replace the original kexts from 10.5.2 or earlier. then you are back in business.

@ kashly

I am sure your rig will work with OSx86 but never assume my procedure will be perfect for you. It is only by trying that you will find out and by further readings on the Web will you know what will best work for you. Good luck.

BTW, Google is your best friend...

The 10.5.2 kalyway updater worked perfectly, but the "Leopard Graphics Update" caused a blue screen (X60 with Intel 950 graphics)

@ Leo

No, you don't need to install OS X, just the patches in Customize.
