jamesboy303 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I have successfully installed snow leopard but my screen size is messed up. I run 1920x1080 and its like a 1280x720 box in the middle of my screen and around the sides is black. My BIOS is also like it, It cuts half like 2" around sides Specs: nVida Geforce 9800GT Connected by DVI Its also cuts off side of screen when i enter bios, Chameleon booter comes up. Windows 7 is fine. Help? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256069-successfull-installation-problem-with-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackintosh Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I had a similar problem before and switchresx fixed it. You will have to add custom resolutions with the proper configuration. There are many guides for it. However, if your bios shows up like this, it's probably not a mac error since it is showing up like this before you even installed mac (unless you're saying this started happening after the installation). In that case switchresx won't work and it would have to do with your graphics card.
