rainfactor Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I can't seem to change my resolution on my nvidia 8400GS I ran the latest nv installer. the system detects it but when i want to change the resolution it just crashes on me I am able to see the screen for about 2 secs, with all the available resolutions, and then everything goes blue and i have to hard reset my machine Is there any 3rd party utility that i can use to change this properly? I run Leo4All V3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107584-3rd-party-utility-to-change-resolution/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yes add a custom resolution! I made mine the maximum resolution for my machine but with the refresh rate of 60Hz to avoid getting a black and white screen StiCMAN yeah wtf i was looking at that menu thing or w/e that installs with it and it says it doesnt work with 10.5.2 BUT then i looked down by my desktop and switchres was open?? idk wuts goin on with that but can i use this program to change to resolutions that arent in the mac os x display settings?
