"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" With Captital G and M and QUOTES! if it works, than add it to the plist. Ok, Find the Com.Apple.Boot.plist (/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist) Drag it to the desktop, open it, then add this: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280×1024×32</string> Add Graphics Mode (Use Caps on first letters) inbetween <key></key> and your resolution between <string> Example: 1680x1050x32 32 being the color depth. Save and place back. Reboot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153836-post-install-probs/#findComment-1085664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainsleyclark Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have tried doing this in the darwin boot but nothing happens. I have tried installing various kext files but once I have reebooted it says "please restart your machine". I try to restart and keep on getting the same message. Thankyou for you help.

verdant Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have tried doing this in the darwin boot but nothing happens.I have tried installing various kext files but once I have reebooted it says "please restart your machine". I try to restart and keep on getting the same message. Thankyou for you help. What is your MOBO spec/chipset?.............you need to make the appropriate choices in Customise Menu during OS X installation...... Did you install video drivers when installing OS X......if so, 1. After rebooting by typing -s at the boot: prompt and waiting for the prompt :/ root# to appear, type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for :/ root# to re-appear: mount -uw / rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.kext followed finally by exit. "logout" will then appear on screen followed by "Jettisoning kernel linker" and the rest of the verbose booting screen, resulting in successful booting into the OS X Welcome screen and music..... 2. The System Profiler shows under Graphics/Displays, 1024x768 resolution 32-bit Color depth and 32MB VRAM with Software Driven CI and QE Not Supported, and against Kernel Extension Info: No kext loaded Then, until a proper driver is available for your integrated graphics, you can run in VESA mode without hardware CI/QE.....as follows: Modify the com.apple.Boot.plist file as follows: 1. Go to the Terminal, and at the $ prompt, type in sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist 2. Enter your password when requested. Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor within the Terminal window. 3. Type in (without any spaces anywhere except where there are spaces) "Graphics Mode"="1280x1080x32@60" BUT using your display resolution..... between <string> and </string> under <key>Kernel Flags</key>. 4. Move the cursor the Terminal window down until it no longer moves, then press Ctrl O and then Enter, to save the modified com.apple.Boot.plist file. 5. Press Ctrl X to Exit and type "exit" at the $ prompt to log out of the Terminal and then close and quit Terminal.

ainsleyclark Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Verdant: I have followed your instructions carefully and I have edited the com.apple.Boot.plist file in BBedit. When I boot Leo4all up it just crashes on me and restarts the computer. I have tried doing it with out the @60 (refresh rate), it boots but the screen res didn't change. As for the kexts it installed successfully. Please help me! I'm getting so frustrated!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou....
