How to get the resolution of your VMware host

[babajoe]

Hello everyone. After weeks of research I finally made it!!!!. I found how to get the full resolution of the host OS (Win 7) on Mac OSX iDeneb 10.5.8.

 

First I deleted all ATI occurrences in /S/L/E except for "ATY_init.kext" (if it does not figure in this folder, then you have to restart from the install DVD or iso and check it in the tree under drivers-->ATI. Uncheck everything else)

Second, I pasted the "trial (2)" files in /S/L/E

Third, I edited the "com.apple.Boot.plist" (/L/Pref/SYSConf) as follows:

 

 

======================================

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>5</string>

<key>device-properties</key>

<string></string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>platform=X86PC</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1440x900x32@85</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

 

======================================

 

I just added the part that is written in bold. That's it!

Reboot et Voila!

Got my 1440x900

 

I hope this is helpful and avoid weeks of research for the noobs like me.
