royler_g Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hello I have a Radeon X550 128MB gfx card, dev. id: 0x3e50, and a clean install of 10.4.5 from a bootable DVD. CI/QE are supported, but I can only get 1024x768. I've tried booting with -x "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" as well as editing com.apple.boot.plist directly, but the monitor just goes black during startup. It says ATI RV380 VESA 2.0 during startup. I have a 19" TFT Screen, Fujitsu-Siemens. Is there anything else I can try to get a higher resolution? Or should I just give up my attempts and wait for omni's driver and give that a shot? Please help if you can. ----------------------------------------------------------------- P4 519 3,06 GHz, 1024MB RAM, Radeon X550 128MB, Dual boot OSX 10.4.5/WinXP. 19" TFT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15884-just-give-up-on-resolution-change/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Try "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@60" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15884-just-give-up-on-resolution-change/#findComment-101975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
royler_g Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 I've tried that. Anyway, according to guides you can only use '@xx' if you've got VESA 3.0.

Ritchie Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'm using it period to all of my cards.. what your display preference says.? I suspect that your problem is the refresh rate as your are on a TFT monitor.. try to force it on 60 Hertz.. and try "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32@60" as it is, without -x Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15884-just-give-up-on-resolution-change/#findComment-101981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
royler_g Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Nope, doesn't work. Tried with @60 and @75 (which I'm running on XP). Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15884-just-give-up-on-resolution-change/#findComment-101985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 have you try connect your monitor different.. for instance if you are with analog DB15, switch to DVI and vice versa... ?

Grafdude Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 where do you actually type this command? I don't want to add it up to my bootlist just in case it doesn't work and would make my osx un-bootalbe.

poppicu Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi I have Asus Extreme AX550 pcie 128 and I have 1280x1024x32@60 resolution working. So finally you must have this setting working. I use Koverg's patch for activation of CI/QE, and Quartz Debug for QE2D. . But your card have different ID. Mine is this: Type: VGA-Compatible Controller Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x5b63 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz 2D Extreme: Supported Quartz Extreme: Supported If your Osx86 instalation will be not bootable, u can enter on with DVD install and terminal from that for tiping diferent commnads.

I don't want to add it up to my bootlist just in case it doesn't work and would make my osx un-bootalbe. you can test it first in Darwin boot loader... and if it works you can add it to apple.com.boot.plist so you don't have to write it every time...

AntarcticP Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Just a tip for everyone who wants to try the resolution change in apple.com.boot.plist. First make a copy of the apple.com.boot.plist in for instance the documents map. If the change to plist makes your OSX unbootable you can boot into windows and download a trial version of 'Mac Drive'. With this program you can read and write to your HFS+ partition, so you can put the original baccked up file back to the original location. grtz AntarcticP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15884-just-give-up-on-resolution-change/#findComment-108076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
