Saving the com.Apple.Boot.plist

[kryon]

So I have tried to modify this file to change my screen resolution to 1280x1024x32@85 but I cannot save the file ....it indicates I am not allowed to do so. I also tried to use the "sudo nano" command in the terminal but I am not understanding how to save it after with the .plist extesion it tells me that it has to be a .term extension. Advice please my friends :-)

 

Thank you,

K

Drag it to desktop, edit it, save it. Now delete the file from it's original folder (you have to authenticate for that - that is to input your password). Then drag your edited file from the desktop to the folder where it should be. Authenticate again. That's all.

also can i ask, it says in the tips and tricks section that i ned to edit the com.apple.Boot.plist, thats no problem BUT where would i input the new text, there seems to be 3x <key>>/key>parts and 3x <string></string>

 

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1280x1024x32@85</string>

 

 

here is what my com.apple.Boot.plist

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple$

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

<string>Yes</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

 

BUT where does

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1280x1024x32@85</string> go?

<string>1280x1024x32@85</string> go?

PS you can also easily, on a dual windows boot, edit OS files with MacDrive, with no authentic this and that.
