Hello,
Just wondering if you were able to get full QE/CI with your 530 (as evidenced by a translucent menu bar)? I have the same configuration as you (i.e. 1024x768 resolution), but no QE/CI. Apple System Profiler reports "No Kext Loaded". I have tried 10.6.3 and 10.6.8, with no success for either. Additionally, I tried to use alternative GMAX3100 kexts, but this did not help matters.
Any suggestions that you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
