hey guys if've got mac.nubs nvinject.kext (version 0.1.3) installed on my leo.

my graphicscard is being detected right as a 8600 gts but i cannot change the res (atm 1024*768) and my benq 17inch tft isn't being detected and so there is no quarz extreme support for my screen dont know whether this matters but i want to change the res -.-

thanks in advance

The 8400,8500,8600 cards aren't supported at the moment.

But you should be able to get your native monitor resolution using something like this:

 

"Graphics Mode"-"1280x1024x32@60"

 

You maby wanna change the @60 to something else that your monitor supports :)

Those resolutions are based on the VESA standard and according to Wikipedia these are all of your options: 320x200 640x400 640x480 800x500 800x600 896x672 1024x640 1024x768 1152x720 1280x1024 1440x900 1600x1200.

 

I'll be testing the "1440x900" on my widescreen, (and I'll bookmark this page), and fill you in on my findings.. My video card supports VESA 3.0-- but I'm not sure what OS X supports. I'll let you know!

 

EDIT: I can confirm that it works in 10.5.1-- My monitor doesn't support 1600x1200 so someone else will have to confirm that. Good luck!

 

(BTW: http://osx86.wikidot.com/utilities-resources "Zephyroth NVidia Universal Installer" sounds promising, but I haven't tried it yet..)
