mj12bot Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi @ all I postet somwhere else but still dont get any answer. So here is my problem: I have a Acer 6530G AMD/ATI an Leopard is running fine on it. I used iDeneb 1.4 and hat to install ethernet drivers seperately. So all things are fine. It is fast and no errors. My Wifi is not working but thats OK, when i´m on the road i can use Windows... The only thing that is really not OK for me is the reolution of 1024x768! My Acer has a 3470x2, so i know i have to wait till i am old and grey for a driver ... This means i only have Vesa resolutions. Since there is no resolution that fits my screen (1366x768) i wanted to ask if there is any other way to force it. Maybe a modification of Vesa?

Khan_Man Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 depends on your install method. If U have chameleon need to do the same thing (below) but to the com.Apple.Boot.plist in the Extra folder. U can try: -goto Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and drag com.Apple.Boot.plist out onto the desktop. -add (or some such) <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280×1024×32</string> to the file (using text edit) -save -Drag back to L/P/SC/ -authenticate -repair permissions (using disk Utility) reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/172694-simply-want-to-force-resolution-without-driver/#findComment-1187676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj12bot Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thank you for your answer. This is what i tried as the very first. I knew this Trick cause i had Tiger installed in VmWare. And by the way there i could get my resolution with it. Unfortunately Vesa supports no 16:9 / 16:10 resolutions with a height of 768. So nothing happens when i do the edit. It stays at 1024x768. I had chosen voodoo kernel at install. Do you think this may be a reason?

Khan_Man Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 darn! Well, you could download pcwiz's OSX86 tools, in there is a button (top left corner iirc) that allows you to turn on QE, better than nothing. Sounds like some nice video cards. I assume you have a windows install. What is the video like in Windows? Have you tried adding your device ID to the ATI kext? Have you tried ATYinject?
