Screen resolution, config files

[janoma]

I tried to use a 1920x1440 resolution, but it seems my Nvidia doesn't support it (my monitor does). The monitor stopped receiving signal, and now I boot and the same things happens once I log into my account.

 

Boot option "Graphics Mode=1024x768x32@60" doesn't work. Is there any option to boot "safely"? Or perhaps to boot with the last useful configuration.

 

Thanks for your help

You can try booting in safe mode (boot option -x) and see if you can go select a new resolution.

 

If that doesn't work, try deleting preference files containing your settings:

 

Boot into single user mode (boot option -s)

At the command prompt

 

Type: /sbin/mount -uw /

 

Type: /bin/rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist

 

Type: /bin/rm /Users/(your-user-name)/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver*

 

Type: /bin/rm /Users/(your-user-name)/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.preference.displays*

 

 

Reboot

 

(Edit: Later, I think I found the key file to delete, so I added it above (in red) for posterity. It should now work.)

It didn't work... thank you anyway

 

(By the way, I had to uninstall OS X, so now I'm just in Windows)
