Ati9600 128mo Can't Change Resolution

[disident]

Hi,

 

I have an ATI9600 128mo in my laptop and a widescreen who accepts in windows and linux 1280x800 and i can only see the resolution 1024x768 in my monitor parameters.

 

I have already tried the kernel options "Graphics Mode"="1280x800x32@75" or "Graphics Mode"="1280x800x32".

 

I have also edited my boot.plist file like this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple$
<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>1280x800x32@75</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

or with:

 

        <key>Graphics Mode</key>

        <string>1280x800x32</string>

 

And this don't work

 

I don't boot in safe mode

I have delete the ATI files like in the tutorial

I use the patch for enable SSE3

I have enable sound by editing the .kext file and delete the file for auto enable it at boot

 

Thanks All,

It won't work because the driver isn't finalized in the Dev version of OSX x86, I have a 9700 Pro with the same issue, until someone writes a driver then I'm afraid we're SOL.

i see... Where can I found information about the developement?

what tutorial is this?

[OldSkoolGamer]

There's a forum topic on it already, can't remember the tiel though. Basically it says if you cannot boot into normal mode & always have to use the -x for safe mode to goto /system/library/extensions & delete all of the ati*.kext files there, then reboot & you should be able to get into normal mode.

Oh alright thanks. I am still having to boot with -x so i hope this works.

 

Edit: Worked perfectly! Thanks!

happy for you jeffromdc

Now we have to find an issue for the resolution
