Denicio Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hello to all. I was wondering if anyone knows the approach that is applied on SwitchResX to alter the resolution, and also add custom resolutions. Obviously SwitchResX doesn't use the "Graphics Mode" = "..." approach (and it definitely doesn't work for my 1440x900 resolution). So i wanted someone to point me to the right direction in order to study how it is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softbullets Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Apologies to response to ancient post but I'm also looking for the answer. Switchresx's own documentation makes reference to files it alters in /System/Library/Displays/Override, even going so far as to suggest that you can sort the files there by date to determine which file was altered. But having installed Switchresx and created a custom resolution (that works!), none of the files there have a modified date of today. If anyone can shed light I'm sure many people would be very grateful. I'd rather not rely on preference pane add-ons for what is probably a superbly simple fix. Incidentally, I hear that you can use Switchresx to define a custom resolution and then uninstall it, leaving the new profile behind. But I haven't tried. Hope this helps someone.
