iCereal Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I recently upgraded from 10.5.2 to 10.5.8 on my Advent 4211 (Msi wind clone) on 10.5.2 I had the option of 1024x600 but now I only have 800x600 Is there a method to get 10.5.8? I installed the kexts from Paul's driver pack but it didnt work. Also, photobooth says my graphics card isnt supported but it worked with 10.5.2 and i can no longer use front row but i could before. thanks in advance (: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/204148-advent-4211-only-has-800x600-resolution/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Jeremy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I might be able to suggest a kext if you tell me precisely what video hardware you have.

iCereal Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Is it worth just going back to 10.5.2? What's the difference (Apart from safari 4) ?

Lord_Jeremy Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I think Nick was on track there with the kexts he suggested. I'd try googling around for the files, I think the GMA 950 has decent support.

iCereal Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ok, Deleted the old graphics kexts, installed the new ones and repaired permissions and I now get a long list of available resolutions (: Although Photobooth still says the graphics card is incompatible but it worked before. And the cover flow in iTunes doesn't work but the one in safari does And front row still won't work Thanks for the help getting this far (: UPDATE: I fixed that by installing the package here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/204148-advent-4211-only-has-800x600-resolution/#findComment-1373023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
