Ok, theres a hard way...

Download the following Kext files from: GMA 900 Kext files
1. Backup all your AppleIntel equivalents in your /system/library/extensions folder
2. Copy these new ones over to that same directory (/system/library/extensions)
3. After you copy these across you may recieve a few errors from OSX saying it couldn't load blah blah, hit ok and ignore them
3. Pull up a terminal window and type the following:

sudo su

<password>

1. cd /
2. cd /system/library/extensions/
3. chmod -R 755 AppleIntelGMA950.kext
4. chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelGMA950.kext
5. chmod -R 755 AppleIntelIntegratedframeBuffer.kext
6. chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelIntegratedframeBuffer.kext

After doing so open up finder and navigate to /system/library/extensions and delete the extensions.mkext (drag it to your trash).

Then restart and you should be good to go! thx to andy4life

Hope that help you

I tried it but it is not working at all.

aw... maybe just works for tiger :/

Unfortunately there is no GMA 900 or 915 support in Leopard. The only reason it was in Tiger was that the early developer machines used the 900 /915 chipset. This is not the case with Leopard

if you get everything, except Quartz Extreme and CoreImage replace A folder from OpenGL.framework with the one from 10.5.4 :-)
