iwannasave Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hello, I am using iDeneb 1.3 OS X 10.5.5 DVD release which installed fine. Here is my hardware Config: 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, GMA945G video Controller, Marvell Network 10/100/1000, Audio ALC662, Monitor ViewSonic 22 inches 1600x1200. Once the installation is complete, I am unable to change the monitor resolution. It comes up as 1024x800 and has no other listing and the detect monitor button is greyed out. While installing I did select Video Fix for GMA950/945 and the System Profiler does show GMA950. So how do I get the monitor resolution fixed? Please advise. -IW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwannasave Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Got it solved. Tried to use OSX86Tools, but it gave me a script error. So I edited that file manually (vi), with some help from OSX8Tools. So now my com.apple.Boot.plist looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1600x1200x32@60Hz</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>10</string> <key>device-properties</key> <string>6d0000000100000001000000610000000200000002010c00d041030a01000000010106000002 fff0400100000006d006f00640065006c0000000b000000474d41203935302000000041004100500 4c002c00480061007300500061006e0065006c0000000800000001000000</string> </dict> </plist> So now even though my resolution is fixed and cannot be changed, it looks and works great. -IW Got it solved.
