klittl01 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi, I have 10.4.8 on my Averatec 2260 laptop and the only resolution it displays is 1024 x 768 and its driving me nuts. I am pretty sure that there is no driver for my graphics card (Via/S3 DeltaChrome IGP) and would like to know if it is possible to obtain higher resolutions another way. Thanks to all!

klittl01 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Okay, I was able to do it and here is how. Well, First I tried switchResX to achieve my 1280 x 800 Resolution but with no luck. Here is what worked: Open Terminal and type this: sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Next I added these two lines: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x800x60</string> Please, use your common sense. Put the resolution you want in the <string> tag and place it in the correct area. I put mine at the bottom of the other <key>/<string> tag sets. NOTE: I found this solution in an article, I just lost the article location when I booted to OS X. Hope this helps everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t!m Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Next I added these two lines: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x800x60</string> I did something similar and it worked on my Acer Travelmate 6000. I used to have this very small resolution of 1024 by something ... and now I can have any resolution I want. You just have to make sure your hardware supports the resolution that you choose. I downloaded a little program called "Plist edit pro" and edited the com.apple.Boot.plist file in the same way klittl01 did. (first I checked in crappy old windows what resolution my screen could handle) I set mine to 1280x1024x32. works fine and no need for messing around with the terminal.

meatloaf Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 P965 board works great with the exception that most of them come with a jmicron pata controler and cause of this you are unable to boot the OSx install disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
