Mr Mylan Man Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hey all, I installed OS X onto a VMware virtual machine and it's working pretty close to perfect, only one small problem I can think of. I don't think that the video card is being detected correctly (maybe I picked the wrong drivers at install, I don't know). Reason I say this is because the only resolution I have available is 1024x768, and my monitor is 1680x1050. Also, the rendering on animations is real choppy and bad. I have a badass computer, specs are as follows: Intel Q9300 2.5GHz Core 2 Quad Intel G35 Micro ATX motherboard nVidia 8800GTS video card The rest I don't think is important, seeing as how it is VMware. I allocated 4GB to OS X in RAM. When installing I picked the 512MB nVidia driver option. Was that not a good choice? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mylan Man Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Ah really? I was hoping that would not be the case.... but I guess it is then. I found it in system profiler it says I have a 128MB PCI-bus video card with no kernel extension loaded. I installed it to a virtual disk in VMware. I just assumed that since Windows installs in VMware seemed to go smooth this would too. That's kind of disappointing. Is there a way to change the resolution?
