rramdin Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I did a vanilla install of snow leopard on my Dell Optiplex 755, using this guide (but did a clean install from a USB drive rather than an upgrade from Leo). I've got everything set up except my video card, which is a GeForce 7300 gs. I've tried using NVinject, to no avail. It seems like it should be as simple as adding an EFI string to /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist, but when I do, no dice. I generated my EFI string in EFIStudio 1.1, and my boot.plists in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and /Extra are identical. Am I missing something? Do I need to do something with my dsdt.aml or kexts?

rramdin Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Yeah, it's limiting me to 1280x1024, no matter what I put in my graphics mode. You probably have a kext set up for the ATI.
