BTFan Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, I have Kalyway 10.5.2 and everything works except there's a 1024x768 resolution which makes everything look so big and fat. So I went into the settings and then in the Resolution section but 1024x768 is the only resolution I can pick. When I had Vista, the resolution 1366x768 worked. Is it because of my graphics card? If it is any help, I have a Nvidia GeForce 6100 nForce 430 (it becomes a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 once Vista got the drivers for it). Thank you all so much!

Place your system specs in your signature to better help us help you. Most likely in System Profiler it says QE/CI not Supported. We can try installing some graphics drivers starting with NVinject. It is not necessary to back your existing graphics drivers as removing all of them will still give you default graphics like what your experiencing now but it is good practice to backup before you mess with extensions. Backing up your extensions folder can be as easy as making a copy of it on your desktop or to a USB memory stick. Go to http://nvinject.free.fr/ and download Latest_NVinject.0.2.1.zip. Unzip it to your desktop. You should now have NVinject.kext on your desktop. Open Finder and go to the /System/Library/Extensions folder. Look for any existing drivers such as NVinject, NVdarwin, NVkush, Titan, Natit.... and delete these. Then open Terminal and type the following (Pressing enter after each line). sudo -s cp -R ~/Desktop/NVinject.kext /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions touch /System/Library/Extensions/ rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext diskutil repairpermissions / Reboot with -v -f Basically drivers (kexts) are located in the /System/Library/Extensions folder. These files must have the proper permissions and ownership to work properly. In addition to speed the loading of kexts, OSX caches them into a file called Extensions.mkext. What we are doing (In the order of the above commands) is: 1. Give yourself root privalages so that you can modify these files. 2. Copy the new kext to the extensions folder (Given that you have removed any existing/conflicting files) 3. Set proper permissions to the extensions folder 4. Set proper ownership to the extensions folder 5. Touch the extensions folder 6. Remove the entensions cache and force OSX to rebuild it 7. Repair Permissions to the entire drive. 8. Reboot in using -f to Force OSX to pull kexts from the extensions folder Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146177-get-1366x768-resolution-in-kalyway/#findComment-1036842 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume thats integrated graphics? If so Im 90% sure that you will not be able to get QE/CI supported and this will pose problems with certain applications. Even an inexpensive replacement card should do the trick. Just make sure to check its compatiblilty before purchase. Ill check around and see if anyone has managed to get their card supported. Once a card has the proper drivers you should be able to change the resolution. Though 1366X768 might not be on option. Something close to that might work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146177-get-1366x768-resolution-in-kalyway/#findComment-1037047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTFan Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 So that means I can't do anything with the card I currently have to get 1366x768? Thanks a lot for the help! By the way, do you know a guide for upgrading Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.6? Thanks!

By the way, do you know a guide for upgrading Kalyway 10.5.2 to 10.5.6? Thanks! Well I mean I have my card 7600GT supported and I get a mess of options for graphics. The only thing remotely close is 1360x768 which would probably do you just fine. Sometimes you get support for your card however the resolution options don't quite give you what you want. Upgrading. I would definitely back your current install up before you go and update. Personally I used Zephyroth's Update Utility to download and patch the updates from Apple to go from 10.5.2 > 10.5.5. I would also recommend looking into the Voodoo 9.5.0 RC1 Kernel especially because your running AMD. It will patch certain things on the fly and it really makes life on AMD OSX86 a bit easier. You are going to want a to do a great deal of research before hand as there are various files which will need to be restored after updating to 10.5.6.

dsalsa Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Can someone please help me with my Video card (NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430). I am not really trying to get it to wok from my laptop to my monitor though it would be nice. What I really want to do is install Leopard on my desktop. I have three versions of Leopard all iATKOS which I have been able to install successfully on my laptop but none of them work on my desktop don't get past the boot process "still waiting for root device". Not sure what the problem is but I know video would be one of the problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Laptop: Acer Aspire 5601 AWLMi Intel Core Duo processor 1.6GHz 1GB DDR2 came with 100GB HDD 5400rpm but replaced it with 160GB HDD. both ATA. What I am actually using to run Leopard is an external USB HDD Maxtor 250GB Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 DVD-Super Multi double layer 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN (which doesn't work under Leopard) Desktop: Systemax AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz 3GB DDR2 320GB 7200RPM 3G SATA II HDD 22X DVDRW SATA Drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146177-get-1366x768-resolution-in-kalyway/#findComment-1532845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did have the video problem and I think there is a problem with the shutdown where you end up with 2 panics and ends up preventing you from booting in to MAC again. Now I have to do some more experimenting.
