clearly_unseen Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 ok, installed perfectly, and when i load it up everything works fine, except my resolution is stuck at 640x480. heres my specs... 7800gt video gig of ram nforce 4 chipset 19" lcd Ive tried the macvidia auto installer as well and after restart i cant tell a change, my resolutions listed are only 640x480. also im not sure if this will help but when i first booted my os x installation it said that it couldnt read my monitor. my monitor is a lcd 19" that connects vga. since my video card is dvi only its connected through a vga to dvi connector. cant see how that would make a differance, any help we be greatly appreciated.

ampTK Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 The latest macvidia driver installer requiers you to remove some kexts manually. I think you didn't read the instructions.
