    My little bro has been using AA1- AOA-150 Ab (160HD) with IPC osx86 for about 6 months, but unfortunately upgraded to 10.5.8 at the weekend.
    Had to reinstall the voodoo kernel after booting with cpus=1, however the graphic res was only 800x600. I've dropped the GMA drivers on from Rory's guide but now have nothing but a grey screen in normal boot mode.
    If I boot in safe mode I've got 1024x600, but can't seem to find a combination of kexts that will fix the issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas? is Natit.kext still needed?
    Cheers

    delete all the appleintelgma950********.kexts where **** are wildcards and appleintelintegratedframebuffer.kext
    and then natit too
    and then reinstall the kexts
    should work...
    I personally, just popped in my iatkos v7 disc, then selected all the drivers for intelgma950 (so thats desktop, laptop, rare and efi string) and instaled those and rebooted and it worked great.

    Thank you Rory.

    Deleted the kexts and installed your 10.5.8 repost drivers. No longer have Quartz Extreme available, but I'm happy to have 1024x600. The fix for QE can be sorted out later.
    Cheers

    I used these drivers, and simply had to enable QE with OSX86 tools. Works for me!
