fluffy69 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 you have to install a video card driver. i would install the calisto drivers. they should be available from within the wiki section of this site.

bkny1055 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Here is what I did thanks to the great post by phoenix3200 here “http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=21182&hl=HexEdit+2\.0 “ Getting ready It would be a good idea to backup your entire Extensions directory before proceeding just in case you royally mess up anything. sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /System/Library/ExtensionsBackup Part 1, Callisto Installation I used b006 for installation purposes. It's available on Omni's website. After extracting b006, Look in the folder for CallistoHAL.kext. Right-Click on this file and go to Show Package Contents. Double click on Contents, and then drag Info.plist to TextEdit in the dock. ((((((((when I needed to make changes to info.plist files I just dragged it to the desktop, then dragged the one from the desktop to the TextEdit, made changes, saved it, dragged it back to where it came from, it will ask authenticate, put in password, and replace))))))))) Find <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x41501002&0xffffffff</string> and change it to <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x554d1002&0xffffffff</string> Make sure you replace 554d with whatever your specific Device ID is, which is avaliable in System Profiler, and then save and close the file. Open up another Terminal window, and type (or copy) this into Terminal: sudo -s cd ~/Desktop I downloaded to my desktop chown -R root:wheel Callisto* chmod -R 755 Callisto* cp -R Callisto* /System/Library/Extensions/ rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.window* rm -f /Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.window* rm -f /Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.pref* rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache Enter your password when prompted Reboot your computer and make sure you can set new resolutions before continuing. This got me the resolution I changed my resolution to 1600x1200@60hz swwweeeett Now Part 2, QE/CI Installation Navigate to /System/Library/Extensions, locate ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin, right-click and go to Show Package Contents. Double click on Contents, and then drag Info.plist to TextEdit in the dock Find <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IONDRVFramebuffer</string> and change it to <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>CallistoFB</string> Save and close the file. Open up another Terminal window, and type (or copy) this into Terminal: sudo -s chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin/ chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin/ Enter your password when prompted. Rebooted and now I have QE, CI and OpenGL with mouse tearing Running at 1600x1200@60hz I did not make any changes to the /System/Library/Extensions/ locate ATIRadeon9700.kext because my card is a 9800PRO and numbers show up as being included in the ATIRadeon9700.kext Only took me a week or so LOL but dame it feels good Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28628-screen-resolution/#findComment-196113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think you need to download the callisto driver from omni.starchaser.org Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28628-screen-resolution/#findComment-196219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojofr95 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Thanks you for your awnsers! Well, i don't understand the end of the installation of the drivers: "extract and copy the two .kext folders to your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Make sure that the permissions on the newly copied folders (recursive, -R) are 755 with root:wheel ownership. Lastly edit the Info.plist file in CallistoHAL.kext/ to match your ATI card's PCI device ID and reboot. " I've copied the two .kext, but how can i do that : "Lastly edit the Info.plist file in CallistoHAL.kext/ to match your ATI card's PCI device ID and reboot" ? i founed info.plist, i tried to open with the text editor but i don't know what to do after... If someone could help me.... Thanks ! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28628-screen-resolution/#findComment-196259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepsboy Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thankyou so much for your help bkny1055!! Followed your guide and it worked on my Gigabyte X300SE PCIe Graphics. Now I have a fully functioning Mac. Only flaw i've noticed compared to my Macbook is that there is some some mouse cursor tearing and some grainy "interlaced" looking artefacts when using expose and other 3d type effects, but at least i can use full resolution and CI and QE are working!! :-) thankyou!! graphics.tiff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28628-screen-resolution/#findComment-197319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
