sn8k Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 well ... you can find any needed docs on apple develloper website ... don't have the link anymore, but you'll find it on the forum, just SEARCH ! lol And in fact, making a driver for unichrome is useless ... that chip doesn't support the needed instructions to really work on OSx . for the resolution , you have to modify the Com.apple.boot.plist ... search in the wiki Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22771-vias3g-unichrome-ii-graphics/#findComment-280220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keijo Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi, I have a VIA/S3G UniChrome II Graphics card and it is currently set at 1024x768 resolution. is there anyway to change this to 1280x1024. thank you very much in advanced. I've got 1280x1024 resolution with on-board VIA/S3G UniChrome II on my PC. Use Terminal sudo su type your password and press enter cd /Library/Preferences/Systemconfiguration/ enter pico -w com.apple.Boot.plist enter now you can edit boot.plist, add: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@60</string> @60 depends on the display you use.I don't use @value and works just fine. but google it if you mind. x is as "x"yz Make sure your type has no mistake it must look like this press control + O(over write) and then control + X (exit) type exit, press enter shut down terminal reboot hope it works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22771-vias3g-unichrome-ii-graphics/#findComment-280719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn8k Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Aver, have you really read what i said ? YOU CAN'T have QE/CI , even if you make drivers !!!!!! VIA Unichrome cards DOEsN'T HAVE the HARDWARE INSTRUCTIONS for OSX !!!!!!!! So, U can make any drivers you want, it will never allow you to work like it does with ATI or NVIDIA cards ! the only solution for us, it's to buy a PCMCIA vga card ... well, not for us, but for you (i don't have pcmcia on my laptop ... that sucks ! llooll) Edited January 22, 2007 by sn8k Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22771-vias3g-unichrome-ii-graphics/#findComment-281583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
