I tried what you said yesterday also, but couldn't find the topic again to reply.

Audio, ALC662 Also my graphics only display in 1024x768 and no other resolutions are available. graphics card is integrated ATI Radeon 3100 Not sure if integrated ATI Radeon 3100 is supported by OS X driver giving Core Image and Quartz Extreme but you can use Graphics Mode in com.apple.Boot.plist to change resolution to your monitor native resolution : 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 as I said 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. For networking and audio check using google with insanelymac and os x as search terms with ALC662 and with Micronet SP906GK and RTL8185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
