rainfactor Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I can't seem to change my resolution on my nvidia 8400GS I ran the latest nv installer. the system detects it but when i want to change the resolution it just crashes on me I am able to see the screen for about 2 secs, with all the available resolutions, and then everything goes blue and i have to hard reset my machine Is there any 3rd party utility that i can use to change this properly? I run Leo4All V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggen Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 http://www.3dexpress.de/ and http://www.madrau.com/ but I think you gonna need kexts loaded properly anyway. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuxyl Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 so im n00b to mac but learning mucho, how do i get the kexts to load properly? i have the same problem as topic starter. btwww use the arrow keys to keep scrolling through the resolutions if u get the blue screen, after a while it will finally get one that works. im at the best res. right now cuz i did that.

Knuxyl Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 soo umm im sure leo4allv3 is leopard 10.5.2 and that program is ONLY for mac os x 10.4. i just installed it and it said it hasnt been tested on 10.5.2 therefore it wont be loaded. it says that in the application enhancer thing.

SticMAC™ Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yes add a custom resolution! I made mine the maximum resolution for my machine but with the refresh rate of 60Hz to avoid getting a black and white screen StiCMAN yeah wtf i was looking at that menu thing or w/e that installs with it and it says it doesnt work with 10.5.2 BUT then i looked down by my desktop and switchres was open?? idk wuts goin on with that but can i use this program to change to resolutions that arent in the mac os x display settings?
