Hey guys, I'm stuck on 1024x768 resolution. I'm using an X1650pro.
I'll keep researching & updating Thanks all, Pete |
here's a quick fix... but research it to get the full output from your video card.
Open Terminal and type <b>sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist</b> Use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Ctrl+O to save (and then press Enter to save) then rename the <b>*.save</b> file that was created to the original after you've deleted your <b>com.apple.Boot.plist</b> file. To automatically use a certain graphics mode <b><key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@85</string> Note:</b> If your video card is using VESA 2.0 drivers, leave out the '<b>@85</b>' part as it only works on VESA 3.0 will cause the system to reset before getting anywhere. This '<b>@85</b>' is the Hz refresh rate. Remember, this is only a quick fix. find the correct kext for your card if you want the full output. |
@XX was never working for me, even on VESA 3.0

thanks a lot people, I'm anxious to try these new methods, but I'm stuck right now :(
Before anyone posted replies I went ahead and installed Callisto. I followed the instructions carefully but when I rebooted (oh no!) kernel panic! I tried in booting in -s to delete the callisto kexts files but mount -uw wouldn't let me access the filesystem "read-only file system!" Can anyone help me? thanks |
Did you try /sbin/mount -uw / or just mount -uw?
|
Ahh thank you so much DoiX ! ;)
Okay I tried that boot.plist method I put in 1680x1050x32 but when I boot it's at 1400x1050 ! (It looked a bit stretched and in preferences it said 1400) Any ideas? thanks again :) |
Widescreen? Try 1440x900x32
|
Thanks for the suggestion, naquaada
Unfortunately when I tried that it locked me on 1152x864 I don't really have an idea what's going on. is it somehow locked on an aspect ratio? thanks again, peter |
seems that standard VESA modes only support 4:3 monitors :(
