DellOsX Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hello everyone, Ive been trying to figure this out for a while and decided that I should ask for some help. I have a Dell Inspiron which has a max res of 1400x1050. When I try that resolution I end up with a scrambled desktop screen. I at first thought I was out of luck until I recently reinstall osx86 with the Release1 dvd. Upon accent dent I tried booting with a res of 1400x1050 but this time in safe mode it worked. But alas I didnt have any luck in a normal boot. What I need help with is finding what kext extention is being loaded in normal boot. I think that if I can somehow find how to make osx boot without what ever extention that is causing a scramble 1400x1050 res my problems will be solved. Any ideas?

cyrana Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Well, might help to let us know the onboard video and other specs of the laptop. If it has an ATI card, try deleting the ATI kexts and then booting with the -f switch.

Did it work out of the box or you had to tweak something?
