Priezti Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Before i start thanks to anyone that has made suggestions so far into this matter but nothing seems to work So far i have tried everything going to try and get native resolution im not expecting QE but really want 1366x768, i have tried added kernal flags, boot files, displayconfigx, switchres, edid overrides you name it ive tried it, there must be something stupid im not doing or something different with the hardware its an intel 4500M Any suggestions on what to do, paypal donations will be made for the winning answer Priezti Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209990-4500m-sony-vaio-vgn-nw20ef/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkythewondersquid Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Although there are many solutions to this the one I use and works (except QE) is here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=200093 You did not say what distro you are using or if it is vanilla install but this works for me using iatkos v7 updated to 10.5.8 and it worked for me in snow leo 10.6.0/1 but not in 10.6.2 (x3100 has no 64bit support) install with Kext Helper repair permissions etc, etc Good luck !
