darko_os Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi everyone, as I can see there's still some of you faced with disapeared mouse problems. The easiest, and seems to me, the only solution is to edit boot.plist. I did it and it solved my problem. Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist and edit it like this: <?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>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key>? <string>1680x1050x32@60</string> </dict> </plist> Just edit to fit your desktop resolution, and refreshrate. Let me know did it worked for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilhood Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 How can changing the resolution via the plist make a mouse pointer re-appear? are you using OS X 10.4.8? are you using any of the Nvidia kexts such as DiaboliK's Natit, Omni's NvidiaEFI or np_'s Titan? If you are then editing the plist is totally unnecessary. Perhaps you are running some kind of 3rd party program that changes mouse behaviour, either that or your USB Mouse/Port isn't working properly. I thought ATI cards were the only users with mouse pointer issues, such as tearing. To my knowledge, and I've installed OS X on a lot of Nvidia based machines, changing the screen resolution should have no effect on a Mouse. Also, get rid of the ? after </key> because the <string> section needs to begin on a seperate line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
