Rasstar Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have the 9800 gtx + with device id 0x0613 and cannot get it working in Lion. I am stuck at resolution 1280x1024 when it should be 1900x1200. These are my specs Gigabyte ep45-ud3p Q6600 8GB Ram Anyone know of a solution to get this video card working in Lion? I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiox89 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Sure --> Link Simply select your video card and edit Boot.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasstar Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Sure --> Link Simply select your video card and edit Boot.plist Ok I did that that then selected write write to com.apple.Boot.plist which I assume is the file located in the extra folder. However I don't see any changes it remains the same even though it said it was successful. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noam AA Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 this might be because com.apple.boot.plist is not in use by chameleon anymore, try putting the string in org.chameleon.boot.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasstar Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 You have to dumb it down a little for me because I am very new to this. I don't see this file anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiox89 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Copy this file in Extra folder, and if you have an updated version of chameleon, rename the com.apple.Boot.plist in org.chameleon.Boot.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasstar Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks a lot. I was just about to give up on this thing but looks like the problem was I needed to rename that file. Now the graphics card works without efi string, sleep and sound all working fine. Looks like everything is now perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
