Well If i do understand i Have a Nvidia 6800Gt that is supposed to be vesa 3.0 compatible and i wonder how can i swith to this resolution : 1920x1200@60hz
I'v read that is possible for those who own a GMA900 graphic card, but what about nvidia users?

Thank you in advance

If you want to know what resolutions you will be able to use untill we get fully working drivers, type "?video" in darwin boot options. It will list all the video modes detected.

Drivers don't work at this stage.

at the setup prompt use the resolution you want. then after setup you got that resolution, not just 1280x1024.

if you don't specify the resolution at setup, then you have only 1280x1024 after setup.

I tried that but it didn't work. I had 1280x1024 whilst going through the OSx install but when it finished and I rebooted I was back stuck with 1024x768

Wonder if it would be because I have a Nvidia 6600 PCIE Graphics card?
