serj Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi I have installed Mac Os X 10.4.1 back in days...when it was this huge "BOOM!!!"... After few month...formated was toooo unstable... Right now I got another computer and it osx86 seem to be alot stable...anyways.... I installed using 10.4.6 JaS Patched DVD (VmWare to Native install)... Everything seems alright except my new Samsung SyncMaster 204B, it's native(best) resolution is 1600x1200 (which is basicly reason I chose it), it's not widescreen type . I tried setting it's res in com.apple.boot.plist(i think that's the exact name....) but instead of 1600x1200 it set it to 1280x1024??? So I tried Omni's drivers build008 since it didnt do thing tried 006 and it booted but all the res choices are up to 1024x768 :mellow: ...... Another problem is when I ran XBench it showed me My Xbench It's 2.8 P4 533mhzFSB ECS P4P800(hope i'm right) 1GB Kingston PC400 DDR Seagate 200GB 7200rpm Samsung SyncMaster 204B AOpen CD Burner... /*My Current Setup*/ My Previous XBench It's 3Ghz 800mhzFSB HT Intel 865PE 512mb Kingston PC400 RAM Samsung 80GB 7200rpm (little worse btw) Viewsonic A90f AOpen CD Burner(same) /*My Last Setup*/ I really want to switch to OSX for life from Linux and Window$ (My next computer is gonna be MacBook Pro most likly). If you need something else tell me! Best Respect, ./SerJ. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20632-whole-lotta-of-problemsvideohd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
serj Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 anyone? is there something like hdparm in Mac OS X(FreeBSD)? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20632-whole-lotta-of-problemsvideohd/#findComment-136614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
belgrano Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 What video card do you have? Since you tried Callisto, I suppose it's ATI. But is it? What type? Do you have QE and CI enabled on it? If your monitor is not correctly identified by Callisto, you can manually add your EDID value. Maybe that way you'll get more resolutions to chose from (and hopefully your native one too). Also, from your Xbench score I see you have a very low value on hard disk test. What chipset do you have? Is your HDD ATA or SATA?

My video is VisionTek Xtasy 9600PRO 256MB DDR(It's just like ATI 9600PRO 256MB PRO) Yes all the accelarations are enabled right out of box it used Radeon9700.kext which seem to work just fine... I did set the EDID and it's id in Info(s).plist I think...that's just a clue that my new monitor's EDID ain't really working for it self...I don't know much in that area (just a idea)... My HD is ATA...by chipset do you mean mother board one? than it's VIA I latly figured some stuff out from reading all this info carefully..... /*This is from System Profiler*/ Radeon 9600XT AR: Chipset Model: Radeon 9600XT AR Type: Display Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4152 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: Color LCD: Resolution: 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported I only noticed it right now Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported I only noticed it right now /*My HD*/ ST3200826A: Capacity: 128 GB(i guess logical) Model: ST3200826A Revision: 3.03 Serial Number: 3ND2341V Removable Media: No Detachable Drive: No BSD Name: disk0 Protocol: ATA Unit Number: 0 Socket Type: Internal OS9 Drivers: No S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported Volumes: Untitled: Capacity: 29.34 GB Available: 24.24 GB Writable: No File System: NTFS BSD Name: disk0s1 Mount Point: /Volumes/Untitled winserj: Capacity: 58.59 GB Available: 6.43 GB Writable: No File System: NTFS BSD Name: disk0s2 Mount Point: /Volumes/winserj MAC OSX86: Capacity: 40.07 GB Available: 44.65 GB Writable: Yes File System: Journaled HFS+ BSD Name: disk0s3 Mount Point: / I will include my whole system info(from System Profiler) in attachment.

serj Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 I got solutions (I think)! The ATA speed is because I deleted VIAATA kext...since it was showing errors I should have puted device id and it would work... The resolution is because I installed it on hd from within vmware I see other people got same problems as me.. =/ So I will pull out dvd burner from other pc burn dvd and run it nativly without all those emulations... than it should work =) If it will I will report back(if i dont forget ) ThX, ./SerJ.

belgrano Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Looking through you System Profiler report, I see there are a lot of kexts dependencies errors including ATIRadeon9700, Callisto. That could explain why your QE and CI are not enabled, also why Callisto does not provide more resolutios. (BTW, are your USB ports working?) Maybe you should try to replace the kexts with their 10.4.5 counterparts. Of course the thing you should do first is to install OS X directly, not through VMware.
