Mac drawing tablet tecra m7 resolution problem

[tabletmacman]

I got interested in the idea of making a pressure sensitive osx tablet to draw on a few weeks ago. I bought a cheap toshiba tecra m7 on ebay (250$). I chose this tablet highly due to the fact the screen is 1440x900 resolution. I went into this project knowing NOTHING about osx86. I grew up with windows based computers and switched 3 years ago to a macbook. So to have a version of osx on a pc tablet would be amazing. I started by acquiring ideneb, IPC, and a few others. I think i like the ideneb 1.4 version so far, so this is the one im going to experiment on. I got it installed but cannot get the native resolution. Ive been lurking and searching forums for weeks, ive tried everything. I edited the boot with the resolution "1440x900x32" altho it makes it better 1280x800 it still wont go higher or display higher options than that. Ive swapped in and out a lot of kexts (nvkush, etc...). Ive tried switchresX with no effect at all! Also for more info on the situation. My graphics card is Nvidia quadro 110m, and i couldnt get my laptop display to work right after installation. I had to hook up an external monitor and delete NVS* files, GeForce* files, and ITA* files. From what i understand the card is also known as a geforce card? I think the only kext that showed my actual card name under about this mac/more info/graphics-displays, was NVinject? NVkush shows I can has model? Not sure if that has anything to do with it but I assume the kext that actually identifies my card by name would be the best to us, even tho they both yeild the same result so far. If anyone has any idea, what kexts are best to use or how to achieve the 1440x900 resolution i will be indebted forever.


I have been studying and trying to get this working for day with little sleep and had to reinstall osx a ton of times. I do enjoy the project tho. With every little step its like a victory, Id consider this a healthy hobby. I plan to eventually make a whole guide of how to make a super cheap mac os (or multi boot) drawing tablet with a wacom digitzer with the toshiba tecra m7. Step by step. For now im off back to study and troubleshoot till i make some progress.
