Monad Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hi all, I can't change the video in the beginning when you can enter input options because for MAC to see my Keyboard and mouse I need to enable them for OS through the bios. The only way I can type at that initial startup screen where I can enter -v for instance or "Graphics Mode"="1600x1050x32" is if I disable bios Keyboards and mouse and enable OS keyboards and mouse, which in turn makes them inoperable once I'm in OSX. Any ideas? Thanks again... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1851-display-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
setec Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Ok, so you need to change the graphics options inside the OS. In order be able to save the file, go to terminal: sudo vi com.apple.Boot.plist set 1400x1050x32 in my com.apple.Boot.plist by adding (or whatever resolution you want) <Key>Graphics Mode</Key> <String>1400x1050x32</String> reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1851-display-question/#findComment-12081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
handojin Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 any chance of forcing dual monitor support with that type of command ? ie set 2048x768x32? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1851-display-question/#findComment-12094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
setec Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 That I am not sure. It couldn't hurt to try. My laptop has a video out port, but I don't know how to get it to work for dual monitor support or just plain old one monitor support. I can't use the "Fn" key on my laptop to change any special settings (i.e. audio, video) or the Mac OS locks up.
