hi yougi!!! well i installed a software called displayconfigx, you can find typing in google... this software detect all screen resolution that your graphic card and monitor support, and belive me this works... i have 13.3" too... let me know if work for you... very important this works only with QE/CI support... i have beta9 semthex sse3 kernel...but this worked with beta8 too...

 

any way how did you install macvidia drivers... i have a zip with 4 .kext all then go into Extensions folder?

I used SwitchRes (kind of displayconfigx) to have 1280x800 at 60hz 'cause I dont know how to use displayconfigx :thumbsup_anim:(

i have now a good display and CI/QE with my chipset intel 950GM :)

 

Try macvidia 1.0.8 for GeForce GO 7400 to have an appropriate display but you'll not have CI/QE.

 

need wireless(intel 3945ABG) and audio (sigmatel 9225) to fix ^^ waiting for it

macvidia 1.0.8 do not work with new semthex kernel... produce kernel panic, the version 1.0.81 most "work" with the new kernel but... for me didnt :)

 

yougi try Toruga's pacher and let me know... for sigamtel 9225

Look at my Vaio specs in sig. The GeForce 7400 Go is incompatible with Titan and Natit on my system, so I use the Intel GMA 950 to get QE and CI.

 

Also for those people who can't use the max resolution on their vaio: Go into the Sony Bios and change the display option to stretch to entire screen. If I do not have this option selected, my max res is something below 1280x800. However, with the option selected I get the full screen resolution of 1280x800.
