Can't switch resolutions...

The only option is 1024x768, and that makes everything look huge...

 

I've tried SwitchResX, but it either doesn't let me apply, or doesn't apply settings when I restart.

 

I have a 19" monitor btw, so I want a 1280x1024 res. I'm running the JaS Patched 10.4.3 OS also.

 

Thanks in advance. =)

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

How do I get to the boot.plist?

 

 

Eh, nvm, I'll just search.

 

EDIT: Can't find it. >.>

 

When I try to edit it in TextEdit, it won't save.

 

In Terminal, it gives me this, and won't let me type my password.

 

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

 

#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

oops sorry bout that.

drag com.apple.Boot.plist to your desktop.

then double click the one from the desktop and edit in textedit. then save.

drag it back into /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

authenticate.

and then do a repair permissions (disk utility). and reboot.
