1233666666 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hey All, I don't have QE/CI, and I don't mind. I just got a new 20" widescreen LCD, with a naitive res of 1680×1050. I want my 10.4.7 OS X installation to have that res but it maxes out on 1400×1050 and hence my screen looks weird. I have been forcing res using apple.com.Boot.plist but I tried using Callisto using the method discribed here. Alas. no go, still at 1400×1050 and still as fugly as hell. Please help! Thanks.

1233666666 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Sorry to bump it but I've also tried installing 10.4.6 and trying it at that res...still nothing. I'll try 10.4.5 now.

BryanP Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 i don't think the version change is going to help you. your card isn't supported and you'll need to either search for drivers that will work or hope someone develops them Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22994-no-1680%C3%971050/#findComment-152690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1233666666 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 So I need QE/CI for a higher resolution? That sucks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22994-no-1680%C3%971050/#findComment-152713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanP Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 well it seems you need it for widescreen resolutions. i'm having the same problem right now i've gone into bios and deactivated the standard setting that stretches out the screen image for non-native resolutions. i'd recommend doing that so that the aspect ratio at least looks right. you'll have black bars on the side of your screen, but it's less annoying edit; this thread might help you http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=10415 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22994-no-1680%C3%971050/#findComment-152909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was software/GPU related. I know with nVidia cards you can do this, and some certain mointors do this, but my ATi card doesn't even do it under Windows.

asapreta Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Are you using that BIOS with codes changed I mentioned in the other thread? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22994-no-1680%C3%971050/#findComment-153872 Share on other sites More sharing options...

asapreta Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Could you send me your card bios? I think it would solve my problems!

1233666666 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 The one that works for me is the default one, interestly enough. The one that Windows detects as a x800 SE, even though it ain't. I just changed the vendor ID to 1002 in the card's BIOS.

asapreta Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 But I had my card exchanged due to a problem. The old one worked like a charm with QE / CI (tearing removed with mousepose) and Callisto. Now in the new one this trick is not working. As you have the same card and working on MACOS X, I would link to give it a try!

I just changed the vendor ID to 1002 in the card's BIOS. Here when I change mine, in this one, Windows detects it as a x800/x850 card, probably it´s why it´s not working in OSX. If you can send me the dump (rom), please send to asapreta@gmail.com Thanks.

1233666666 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 OK, I've attached my current BIOS. Mind you, QE/CI only work with the 10.4.5 kexts so you'll need to get them somehow OK, the upload tool wouldn't let me upload a .bin so I've made it a pdf . You'll have to rename it too XXX.bin.

asapreta Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Thanks man. I saw you sent the original one without changing the vendor ID. I´ll do it here and then start a clean install of a 10.4.5 OSX. I´ll keep you posted and thanks again. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22994-no-1680%C3%971050/#findComment-156297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
