How to change your resolution on non-supported graphic card!

[caiquecastro]

Hello , I've learned how to change manually your resolution when u don't have a supported graphic card on your Hackintosh. Lets start!!! My card is a SiS 671/771.

 

Go to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist

 

Add the following strings:

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>No</string>

        <key>Graphics Mode</key>

        <string>WIDTHxHEIGHTx32</string>     

 

 

Where u gonna change the number of resolution u want, gonna be something like that, thats my one look:

 

<string>1280x768x32</string>

 

Now save the file and lets move to:

 

Go to /Extra/Themes/Default/theme.plist

 

Now u gonna edit the part

 

<key>screen_width</key>

<string>WIDTH</string>

 

AND

 

<key>screen_height</key>

<string>768</string>

 

Put the same width and height that u added to org.chameleon.boot.plist and save the file. 

 

Now u gonna reboot and your resolution will be changed!!!!

 

To check what resolutions your Graphic Card support, boot into Chameleon screen and press down arrow, then go to Video Info, it gonna show a huge list of resolutions that your graphic support!!!

 

Any questions ask me here!Ive been looking for a solution to change my resolution that was 1024x768 and edited org.chameleon.boot, apple.boot.plist, edited the Monitor Pref Panel and nothing worked, only that has changed my resolution!!!

To be honest, that is known since the early days of Chameleon

Yeah, but it only worked FOR ME when i edited the theme.plist too O.o

And what happens if you don't use a theme at all?

Well, if i don't edit Theme.plist, the grey apple load unaligned and when i log the 1024x768 resolution is there

A bootloader can change resolution in some range. But OSX no if the card is unsupported.
