loop Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Here's the deal - I have spent countless hours searching this forum to find a simple way to get my ati 9000 mobility to display in the native 1400x1050 format of this LCD and NOTHING has seemed to be right for this laptop. SO... I have gotten wireless working beatifully, networking in general, sound, USB, everything else... but the 2 remaining little pieces of the pie, for me, are- 1: video. i need the higher res. this 1024 {censored} is making me want to die. 2: a battery meter. Thanks in advance for anyone nice enough to help me out here! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22078-latitude-d600-osx-rocks-but/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls15000 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have a d600, what wireless card do you have. Can't get mine to work. Have the battery meter working, found the fix in the wiki, dont remember where though. Also looking for a video fix.

Thanks in advance for anyone nice enough to help me out here! Umm you havent looked very hard at all. I had the same one and the wiki tells you all you need to know for both of those. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...Latitude_D600_2 A higher resolution of 1400x1050 can be had by changing the line in com.apple.Boot.plist to "1400x1050x32", deleting all ATI directories in /System/Library/Extensions, and deleting the files Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache in /System/Library.

ZepFloyd Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 well either you didnt delete all the ATI extensions or not doing something correctly, cause it DOES work. It worked every time reinstalled OSX on that machine (5-6) worst case reinstall and try again.

Could you post your plist? Thanks for the battery meter link. I saw that already and it didn't work - must have screwed something up. Will try again.

mls15000 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I just tried again and still have the same old screen resolution. I deleted all ATI files, bundles, kext and plugins. There were a total of 24 files I deleted. Most be something more. I wont reinstall due to all I have already setup and configured. I can live with 1024x768 for now.

mls15000 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Also just noticed that the system is going a saver after I made the changes, even though I have it set to never. It didn't do that before i made the change. Also, for the ones that have a higher res on this model, are you using the laptop display or an external monitor?

asap18 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 is it not in system profiler? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22078-latitude-d600-osx-rocks-but/#findComment-146381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepFloyd Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 As you can tell by my signature, I have the D620 now (100000x better than what I used to call the Dsh*t hundred.) so I no longer can give you my exact plist. All I can say is that what was listed in the wiki is what worked for me for over 3.5 months. I got 1400x1050 the first time I tried. In fact I even got a 1280 setting too. It does work. I even managed to get the screensaver working. (NO QE or CI or OpenGL however) This was all on the LCD, no external monitor.

willyd158 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have everything running well with the exception of my battery meter. I tried the fix, but there is still nothing even visible regarding my battery. Any idea how to make it appear? Thanks in advance!
