EFI Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok, hi everyone. Here's the problem. I myself have a Macbook Pro...so this problem is not related to me...but rather to a friend. He wanted to give OS X a shot...so I offered to install OS X 86 on his PC. The installation went smooth..and we reached the desktop. He has a GeForce 6200...so I went to the "Macvidia" website, and downloaded the necessary kext files and used the installer it came with to install the drivers. I rebooted, and the many other resolutions were now avaliable in the display menu. This is where I did something stupid. I selected a refresh rate higher than what his monitor can support...which was 85hz @ 1280 x 1024. The resolution is supported, but not at that refresh rate. Now when I reboot...after the grey apple screen logo...it just gives a "out of range" message on a completely black background. Is there any way to reset the resolution..or change it through Terminal from the OS X installation DVD. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyel Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 If editing the com.apple.Boot.plist in Safe Mode doesn't work, then use the following links below. I had the same issue when I was working with Dell Optiplex GX-280 and NVidia GeForce2 MX4400 Card. http://www.macvidia.com/index.php?option=c...;prev_next=prev http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...10.4.5/Desktops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Thanks guys, Terminal did not do the job....but I tried what Danyel linked, and it worked like a charm!. Thanks mate. There is another problem though...and I really dont want to start another topic for this, so Ill mention it here, and hopefully I can get help like I did for the previous issue. OS X 86 (10.4.6), is not detecting the Western Digital Mybook external hard-drive...nor the 30Gb black iPod. However, the Canon i560 printer is detected, and is working fine. Does this mean there is a USB issue...or is the problem with the iPod and the MyBook itself? Were should I go about solving this. Thanks. My friend didn't know about the 10.4.8 full DVD...instead the guy downloaded the 10.4.6 one from almost a year ago, so I have to add the updates to 10.4.9. I'm just now downloading 10.4.7. Is this USB issue solved in the newer updates...or is there a seperate kext I have to get somewhere else to solve this. Again, thanks a lot for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
