![]() I've found this tutorial about DSDT: Link I haven't installed the driver, a boot loader, or the update yet. I ended up re-installing the OS using a 10.6.3 image this time. I've tried booting with the boot flag -f and that did not improve the look of the desktop. I took the liberty of improving your topic title, hopefully it'll grab another GMA 950 owner's attention.Īctually your post should probably be here: I never Hackintoshed anything with GMA 950 though so I couldn't tell you which files to remove. If not you might have to remove the GMA 950 drivers entirely by accessing your system drive from Terminal from another OS X installation, or when booted from any OS X Install DVD. Hopefully you can still boot with normal graphics with the -x (safe mode) flag. ![]() IIRC there is a DSDT patch for the GMA 950 as well, but I don't know if it's required or not. Search specifically for solutions for the GMA 950, things might have changed in 10.6.8 as it is in many ways much more similar to Lion than it is to older versions of Snow Leopard. Forum search/google "huge pixels" or something, I remember someone referring to this as "duplo" or "lego" pixels. There were several topics about it here at the time, try to find them. I've seen this before, way back in 10.5.x after some graphics update that came out. ![]() What should I do to fix it? I tried to re-install the OS and update it 5-6 times and I always end up with a distorted desktop. The netbook specs are: Atom N270 CPU, Intel GMA 950 (27ae) GPU, 2GB RAM, WiFi Realtek RTL8187SE, Ethernet Realtek RTL8102E, Sound Realtek ALC662. If I hover the mouse cursor over the docking bare it appears on the screen but it is completely white without any visible icons. The drop down menus are completely white. If I click on the menu bare I can see the menus' drop downs but there are no words on them. Ther are no icons visible in the desktop. The netbook restarted without any kernel panics but the issue is the desktop looks like the photo below. I thought that something didn't update properly so I restarted the netbook thinking that this will fix the glitches. The first time the netbook was restarted after the update, I was able to see the desktop but there were a few glitches the menu bare was transparent and I had to resize the icons in Finder to make them visible, when I scroll up or down Finder the display doesn't always update to show the remaining files or icons in a folder. Last, I run the update and installed kernal_legacy for 10.6.8. Then I remove SleepEnabler and executed UpdateExtra. After installing the OS I run Netbook Boot Maker 0.83 to make the netbook's hard drive bootable. I used a bootable USB stick with NBI 0.84 and an image of MAC OS 10.6 restored to a USB external HDD. I managed to find the right procedure and the right sequence of steps to get the update to 10.6.8 to work. I basically installed and re-installed Snow Leopard literally over 20 times. I've been trying to install and update Mac OS 10.6 to 10.6.8 on an Advent 4213 netbook for over a month now.
