Intel® GMA X3100 Combo Drivers from SaCleoCheater.

Requirements:
You will need the stock AppleIntelGMAX3100*.kext files that match your system version, to be installed before installing this patch. (For example; System Version = 10.5.6, you would need the 10.5.6 AppleIntelGMAX3100 drivers from Apple. They can be found inside the combo updates if you have uninstalled yours.)
IF YOU CAN (just about) BOOT INTO OS X WITHOUT DRIVERS REMOVED:
Great, all you have to do is download the zip attached, install the package and reboot! Voila.

FOR BEGINNERS / PEOPLE WHO CANNOT BOOT INTO OS X AT ALL:
If you currently cannot boot because of the Intel GMA X3100 blocking your hackintosh experience, simply boot with -s and we'll back up the drivers for a later date. Do the following once at "#root:"

Code:

mount -uw /
mkdir /GFXBackup 
mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMAX3100* /GFXBackup 
exit

Now you should be in OS X! (In a low resolution) If you've never booted before, you will have to set up your computer. Once in the desktop, Click "Go" in the menu bar, then press "Applications". Now scroll down until you see the folder "Utilities". Double click it. Now browse for "Terminal" and double-click it. You should now be looking at a not-so-complicated window. In this window, type:

Code:

sudo -s
mv /GFXBackup/* /System/Library/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/*

Now, click "Terminal" in the finder menu, then hit "Quit".

Download the attached file at the bottom of this post, Extract the zip file (unless Safari has already done so) and Double click the .pkg file. Follow the steps until the install is complete.
Now reboot and enjoy!

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REMOVED THE STOCK DRIVERS:
I'm sorry but I cannot download every Combo update to rescue the matching drivers and upload them here for you to install... you will have to download the combo update (why combo update? delta updates usually do not include the Intel GMA X3100 Drivers) matching your system version and browse through the update with Pacifist.

Once you have your matching stock AppleIntelGMAX3100* Kexts back, it's time to install them. copy the kexts to /System/Library/Extensions then using Terminal, install the kexts like this, or use another Kext-installing app:

Code:

cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel *
sudo chmod -R 755 *

Now, install the package attached at the bottom of this post.

Now reboot and enjoy!

Enjoy and good luck to everyone!
Cheers,
