kdb424 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 It's called the osx86 tool. There is a search bottom at the top of the pace, or google may do it too. Good luck! It's easy to find.

skutsdead Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm running Kalyway 10.5.2, with your same Intel chipset and a Compaq w17q monitor that displays the same resolution. After trying several solutions to no avail (the SwitchResX solution being one of them), I backed up any files I'd saved under the OS X partition and reinstalled. However, this time, BEFORE installation, on the confirmation screen, I clicked 'Customize' and under the Video drivers tab you should see no drivers checked off for installation. Expand the category tree and you should see 'Intel GMA 950'; check that off to install that. Leave any other drivers unchecked (this is important!) and when OS X finishes installation and reboots, it should automatically refresh your display into 1440x900 resolution. I actually get a faster refresh rate in OS X than in Windows or Ubuntu for whatever reason. I have no idea if this helps you or applies to your installation or not, but this is what I did, and everything works great.
