ean Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I just recently bought a 23" apple display and i wanted to get the 1900x1200 working with my hacked osx 10.4.3. I have an ati, 9800pro video card. Originally i had a dell 17" FP monitor connected displaying 1280x1024 and all was working fine. To get the 1280x1024 working i had to change the boot options as explained here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...he_boot_options So i had 1280x1024 resolution working fine. I went back into the com.apple.Boot.plist file and tried to change it to 1900x1200 but when i went to save it wouldnt let me save the changes. So i followed that same article about chaning the boot options and opened the text editor and made the changes there. Then i went back to com.apple.Boot.plist to see that the changes were made and they were. Next i correctly hooked up and made sure that all of my cables for the 23" were connected properly. I restarted with the monitor hooked up but all i got was random vertical lines of red,l green, blue and then various other colors across the screen. I unplugged the 23" dvi cable and plugged the dell 17" back in and 1280x1024 resolution was displayed perfectly fine on the dell monitor. I navigated back to com.apple.Boot.plist and the 1900x1200 changes were still there even though i was currently using 1280x1024 resolution the the dell monitor. I dont know what is wrong. Any ideas?? Please help me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMartin Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Probably DVI is not supported. Try booting with your 23"CD connected @1280x1024. I think you'll have the same problem then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
