lwilliams1950 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I just installed Jas 10.4.6 and I can't change the resolution on my Acer 5672 which has the ATI Mobility X1400 Graphic card. Any Suggestions?

James Pan Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I'm also having the same problem on 10.4.3 mine is a TM 8204 with X1600 I'm new to mac but I think there should be ( or will be in the future) some sort of drivers. what im wondering is that since they have Mac Book Pro with ATI graphics, is it possible to "extract" that driver from MBP?

muxion Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi all, This is a characteristic of these cards, and I've seen in many posts here that you specify your resolution and color depth by editing the boot plist. There is no consistent way to be able to change resolution from within osx except for users of Intel GMA 900/950 video chipsets. Just keep reading searching reading the forum and you will find it. Good Luck! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/16862-ati-mobility-x1400-and-jas-1046/#findComment-110117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muxion Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Here it is, jackt283 posted it a couple of days ago in another thread: The easiest way is to edit the com.apple.Boot.plist file: 1. Open terminal. 2. enter this command: sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist (it is ALL CASE SENSITIVE) 3. This will open pico and the file you need to edit. just above </dict> make a few new lines and enter this: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> 4. Hit ctrl-o and enter to save then ctrl-x to exit. 5.restart and enjoy 1280x1024... as for the mouse tearing - you'll get used to it. I dont even notice it anymore. Cheeerzzz!
