kameko Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 My system is in my sig. Everything seems to be working just fine. Graphics/wireless/no problems booting etc etc. Occasionally I get some minor audio hiccups but not nearly as bad as it was in Snow Leopard. I finally got the damn app store to let me log in finally too. The one nagging issue that has come up so far is that the boot screen resolution is clearly much lower than it should be. I want to know if theres a way to fix this? I tried: editing the boot.plist to include <key>PCIRootUID</key><string>0</string> (and tried 1 as well but it kept my resolution at 1280x800 or 1024x768 or something ridiculous). I currently have <key>GraphicsEnabler<key><string>yes</string> in theres as well. I tried <key>Graphics Mode</key><string>1920x1080x32</string> as well but this didn't seem to do anything (from what i've read its an outdated method anyway) I do not have the Legacy Logo on so its the shiny version. Does that matter? other things of note: i'm connecting from the dvi out on the video card to hdmi in on my main monitor at 1920x1080. i also have another dvi connected monitor that runs natively at 1440 x 900. i may try unplugging the second monitor completely to see if it changes anything at boot. other than that i have no issues with dual monitors. EDIT: after more reading it seems as though nvidia gtx 460 cards have limited resolution options in vesa mode. damn.

nyolc8 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I having this problem too. If I know right, it's because there is no 1920x1080 VESA mode in the VGA card.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 There is no way to configure yourself out of this other than setting your native res with the Graphics Mode= flag in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist. If that doesn't work (the VESA mode is not available) there are three options that I know of: 1) Edit your Chameleon theme to compensate for the stretching when using non-native resolution, see tutorial in the themes section at the VoodooProjects forum 2) Use the VGA port where (on some video cards) there is no artificial limitation imposed on available VESA modes 3) Patch your video BIOS to add your native res VESA mode (there are threads about this here and elsewhere) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268788-boot-screen-resolution-fix/#findComment-1752315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kameko Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 i think #3 will probably be the best option (although obviously a tiny bit risky). i'll search to see if there are specific patches for my MSI GTX 460 Hawk card.
