edit com.apple.Boot file for 1400x1050 video resolution

[exegeses]

after searching and reading and not being able to get 1680x1050 video resolution, I found this:

 

1400x1050x32 -f

 

it's not the ideal resolution but I can hadle it for now.

 

the thing is, I found the file "com.apple.Boot"

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

could be edited

in order no to input boot parameters eeeeeevery siingle time.

 

my "com.apple.Boot" file reads:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> 
<plist version="1.0"> 
<dict> 
<key>Kernel</key> 
<string>mach_kernel</string> 
<key>Kernel Flags</key> 
<string></string> 
<key>Timeout</key> 
<string>5</string> 
<key>device-properties</key> 
<string></string> 
</dict> 
</plist>

 

so the question is:

how sould I add "Graphics Mode" at 1400x1050x32 in order no to input such parameters e-ve-ry-sin-gle-ti-me I boot?.

 

on the other hand:

I still continue to input

cpus=4 busratio=20

every time a boot, can theese parameters be added too?

 

thanks in advance

Maybe this post would help, I'm not sure if it would work for you.

thanks!!!

 

your post was really useful

 

I added

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>

and it worked!

 

whith this nudge Now I will search how to pass

cpus=4 busratio=20

it's has to be easy

thanks again.

cpus=4 busratio=20

 

Add it to the kernel flags string.

thnks

it worked like a charm

 

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>cpus=4 busratio=20</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>device-properties</key>
<string></string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

this the way my com.apple.Boot file is configured now, should someone need it for further reference.

 

thanks again Beerkex'd
