homsar Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Ok so i was smart enough to get this all working. The only thing i need to make it perfect for me is the resolution. I boot up and press f8 to bring me to the darwin boot menu, i type in "?video" (to see what resolutions are possible) and i hit enter. darwin boots and nothing changed of course. So i just try "graphics mode" blah blah blah. anyway my quiestion is... am i going about this correctly. Am i in the right area when i press f8? it says BOOT: and after i type it should i simply press enter? every little command ive put in there has done nothing. (ps also i changed the boot file to make my resolution the same. i want 1280X1024 but it stays at 786) my set up amd3700+ 1gig ram ati 9600 xt any clue why its not changing?

LazarusSpain Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 You only have to type "-x" in the boot options and the system will turn on in safe mode. I hope that this can be useful for some people.
