rashan Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 GPU issue: So i selected NVEnabler & DVI-VGA Efi string @ iAtkosS3v2 install. Works like a charm, but i can't set the screens native 1600x900 resolution. Q: How do i set the 1600x900 res? I read this somewhere: (click quote for source) Needs patching with NVinject QE / CI work. All resolutions work. I'm not sure as to what this really means.. ps. i've skimmed through the basic NVy guide and unfortunately lizard autodetects PCI as 0.

sn0le Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Are you using a VGA cable to the LCD? If so, does the VGA-cable have all 15 pins? The reason I'm asking is that I've had a similar problem with Mac Mini's while using VGA. If OSX doesn't get the info about the screen you'll only be able to choose between "safe" resolutions. I had a 1440x900 Touschscreen that didn't work until I used a cable that had all 15 pins. Only then could I select the correct resolution.

r0nnie Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 When you have Chameleon installed, you can try to add this line in com.apple.Boot.plist. <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1600x900x32</string> I think the grafikcard isn´t installed correct. I have a 8600 GT with 256mb ram and installed with efi-string. I can choose this resolution on my pc.
