Ok, so, here it goes:
The problem is tied to the fact that I have to use "standard" NON-ACCELERATED video (via ATY.Franklin) on a Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
My video card is a HD Radeon 2900 Pro so its NOT supported. And yet I just need to stick to it for a while.

Now ... about video. I can see+hear VIMEO, I can see+hear Apple's Quicktime trailers.
On Youtube all I see is a black window (sound is Ok).
And yet, on sites with "older" flv files, I can see them.
Not in full screen, of course :-) but I can still see & hear them

So I think this has to do with the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" setting in Flash.
But I simply can't change it. I can get to the Flash settings window , via right-clicking on the movie. But the mouse pointer just flickers over the settings window. The setting itself won't change no matter how many times I click on the checkbox.

I also tried to change it using the keyboard. I pressed TAB until I got to the checkbox. But even if the setting is selected, I can't change it.

So my question is: Which config file do I have to edit (even if root mode is required, I don't care) in order to disable that damn setting ?

Short story (and please DON't just advice to change the video card):

I have a Snow Leo (10.6.3) installed using the NAWCom ModCD and the retail DVD, on an ASUS P5WD2 Premium mobo and a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD2900 Pro (512Mb)

Now , I know that everybody will start yelling that HD2xxx is not supported in Snow Leo but that's NOT the matter here.

The question is about video modes and max resolutions when only ATY.Franklin is used. I ask about this because it's the driver that ModCD chose to install by default
(YES, I will provide a beer to anyone pointing me to a better kext but ... ;-) ...)

By editing an /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist I could only get the following:

[WHAT I SET UP]__________________[WHAT I GOT AFTER REBOOT]
=======================================
1920x1200x32 (WUXGA)_____________ 1400x1050 (SXGA)
1920x1080x32 (monitor's max)_________ 1400x1050 (SXGA)
1680x1050x32 (WSXGA+)_____________1400x1050 (SXGA)
1440x900x32 (WXGA+)_______________1152x864 (XGA)

So ... is there any way to get a proper WIDE resolution ?
Of course I'd like to get 1920x1080 as this is the max resolution supported by the monitor but it seems that ATY.Franklin can't work with it (Or I just didn't know how to properly set up the <string>bla-bla-bla</string> in the plist file.

Any help here ?
