ObsoleteYeti Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hey guys, I'm new to all this Hackintosh business so bare with me. I'm using an HD 4850 (which I cannot find drivers/kexts for) and have tried to force a resolution on boot by editing the 'com.apple.Boot.plist' file. I changed it from: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">'>http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>0</string> </dict> </plist> To: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>0</string> </dict> </plist> It is forcing a resolution, just not the one I have entered - it's forcing 1400x1050 instead of 1680x1050. Does anyone have any ideas why? Thanks in advance, ObsoleteYeti.

77manos7 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 why don't you try <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string> ? i think this is the right method... just give a try Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259190-force-resolution-not-working/#findComment-1698602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Forced resolution works only for boot screen. It does nothing then system is booted and working. And as in previous reply it should be <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string> not "Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259190-force-resolution-not-working/#findComment-1698633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
