The only thing is the fixed 1024x768 screen resolution I can't fix. This is annoying on my 22" CRT :unsure:

Did you try "Graphics Mode"="WidthXHeightXDepth" at boot or modifying com.apple.Boot.plist?

 

Well, not yet - thank you. But I killed my fresh install right now using the ATI drivers from the last release :( Will give it another try later.

I tried this:

 

"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32" by modifying com.apple.Boot.plist and it never works!

 

At boot, I can't do it because of a messed up USB thing to where I don't have keyboard at boot, and if I set it in the BIOS to BIOS control USB OS X doesn't have keyboard / mouse when it boots.

Well it works up to 1280x1024x32 by modifying com.apple.Boot.plist. However, this resolutions is a {censored} on windows already so it sucks major on OSX. I hope time will bring us 1600x1200 :D
