nendra Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Don't know about the specific of your gfx drivers installation but to get a shell console (to delete kext) dot this: 1. Hit F8 to get the Darwin Boot menu 2. boot with "-s" 3. fsck -fy 4. mount -uw / 5. cd to /System/Library/Extensions and delete unwanted kext (rm -Rf) 6. remove Extensions caches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope somebody has another thing we can try out. It sucks to have everything forced to 16:9 on our widescreens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hello Superhero360yes, i have already tried (if you mean f8, "Graphic Mode=1280x800x32"). nothing happen, boot as always in 1024x768 Ciao and thanks Roberto That's the wrong syntax. It is exactly as follows: "Graphics Mode"="1280x800" If you have VESA3.0, then you can add the @75 for the hertz afterwords (eg. "Graphics Mode"="1280x800@75").

netchainer Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Thanks for the correction Ramm. I have tried also with this syntax "Graphics Mode"="1200x800@75" but nothing happen, start always in 1024x768. i have installed also Katana2c but is the same. i saw exist Katana3 but i was not able to find the installer. Thanks to all Ciao Roberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 If you don't have VESA3.0, using the @75 will cancel the whole thing. Try it without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackCH Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 try this: copy the com.apple.boot.plist file (/library/preferences/systemconfiguration) to your desktop. Open it with textedit and add: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@85</string> so it would look something like <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@85</string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> save it and dragg it to the systemconfiguration folder again (replace the original).....

glassJAw Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 As far as I know, the x1300 is not supported in OSX. The x1600 mobile is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhero360 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 blackchungo Thank you for your trick. One problem though. My screen still looks squeezed. I set the resolution to 1680x1050@60 and the Monitor says that it would get that resolution but its still out of proportions. Any idea? EDIT: I am connected using DVI, it stays with 1024 though the monitor thinks it would be 1680. My card is seen as Vesa 3 with 14MB PS: 1280x800 is messed up too, squashed and slows down the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
