RedirectLeft Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hai As I said, I screwed up. I deleted my whole hard disk, thinking OSX (iAtkos s3) was the right choice for me. Well it probably is, but only if I manage to get it running properly. That's quite hard. The installation was successful, but I have two things to worry about: 1.) I own a 24" Full HD monitor (1920x1080). I edited the com.apple.Boot.plist file and added "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32". This has had only one result: The resolution changed to 1440x900 and won't change to 1920x1080. I don't know why. Why? 2.) Internet access is not working. Everytime I try to configure it using the assistant, I can not choose any of the connection options (LAN in my case), it is pre-set to dialup modem and I'm not able to change that, + it is grey. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 1stly you change your monitors resolution in 'System Profiler' the edit you hvae made to boot.plist will only set the resolution for Chameleon boot screens. 2nd - when asking questions like this you must provide full details of the hardware you are using. Please take time to create a signature listing your hardware. I can't try to answer your NIC question until I know what NIC you have ! 3rdly - IMHO - When you are experimenting like this you should ALWAYS keep a working installation, whether it be Windows or OSX, on a separate HDD.

RedirectLeft Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 In the "display" options I can only choose one option - 1440x900. Is that the right thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedirectLeft Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Aight, my computer appears to think my ATI Radeon HD 4650 is a Radeon 4600.. and also, it tells me there are no ethernet devices built in. How can I fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 listen mate - I've asked you to supply a full list of your hardware. Fankly any answer I give will be p1ss1ng in the wind until i know what you have. Open your PC case and have a look if thats what it takes ! Once you know what kit you have then use google and search for answers on how to get them working. You are not the 1st person to build a hack so the chances are the answers you are looking for are already out there ! Search and Read !
