saxonx Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Tried typing "graphics mode" 1024x768x32@60 blah blah didnt work my monitor would say video mode not supported. Also changed one of the boot files, no luck. This is impossible because im running Windows in 1024x768, my monitor can only support 1024x768. Its a 15 inch flat panel by dell. Anyone had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone had this problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> run the ?video boot option when darwan boots up and it should tell you what resolutions it supports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just wanted to make sure... You've tried it w/out the refresh rate being specified, right? (ie, just "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32") Your card has some quirky VESA on it, so it might not work properly... http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCLPart#NVIDIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone had this problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is because NVidia BIOS doesn't support higher resolutions. I have this problem too, no solution yet.

kubaqba Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I have the same problem. Is it impossible to flash the nvidia bios? :-// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftySmurf Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I managed to change the resolution of the screen with the following command as you explained: "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" as an option while booting from Darwin. Could you please let me know how to make this the default, i.e. not have to type it in every time I boot up. Is there a config file that I need to edit with the new settings, so that they take effect everytime? Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yeah, the search function is your friend. It has been said a thousand times in the forums. But when you do your search, add boot plist into the words to help narrowing it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normunds Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I have the same GEforce and I find that "graphics mode"="1280x1024x32" on startup does not work - it always was 1024x768. I modified com.apple.boot.plist file and pc started to restart. After that I type -F to bypass plist file and suddenly I got desired resolution. I will play around a little later to find out how to boot without -f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normunds Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Forgot to mention, that before that I moved all ATI and NVIDIA files to another directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
