Radoslav Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey. I went to the apple store few days ago and I saw that the apple during bot looks brilliant on the MBs. On my HP (15 inch,1280x800) the apple is very stretched. How can I make it look just as on the real macs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart86 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 What is your video card? Not sure if it will work for you, but I just added an entry to: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@75</string> My monitor is a 21" CRT, so during boot I get 1280x1024 while booting - if thats what your after.

Radoslav Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 My video card is Intel GMA900. The method with the Graphics mode didnt help. The problem is not that I cannot see the apple but it is stretched. All I want is to get it nice and normal as it is on the normal MBs. Here is video with the starting apple and how it is stretched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__EHb4hPbrE Any help will be great! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It's not going to happen. Because of patches necessary to get OSX to boot on a Hackintosh, needed video information cannot be passed to the OS during boot. Read up on EFI. A default VESA video resolution is getting stretched because the widescreen resolution isn't defined in VESA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radoslav Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 OK thanks for the info. Is EFI project going anywhere so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
