se1zure Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I finally have a fully working mac osx on my desktop, however, I use a 22 in monitor, and hustly, need a screen resolution of 1680 * 1050. I cannot find where to change this, so I tried a program called "changeResX", and set it to my resolution, howeer, now , It is displaying at 1400 x 1050, which is far better, but looks horribly strechted, and out of place. HOw can I fix this?\ I have uninstalled the resolution program, and at the boot, I typed boot: cpus=1 "Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32" WHile, now, it is not using that program to display a higher resolution, Under the preferences I can choose 1400 x 1050, so the mac does it by itself... but it is still maxing out at 1400x1050 . Cna you helkp me get it to 1680x1050?
