I'm so close! I need your help!

[SMCentral]

Hey guys,

 

I managed to get my audio, lan and computer working!

No errors this time!

 

However, I am met by a big bug!

 

I have the Intergated Intel G965 Graphics card, my display is 1680x1050 and I am getting 1280x1024...

 

I have searched around and found a hack to do it, I changed the file and I still get 1280x1024...

 

If anyone could help, I would worship you FOREVER!

 

Thanks,

Look forward to hear from ya!

open terminal from the utilities folder, then type this:

 

sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

the system will ask for your password.

in the file add this:

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050×32"</string>

 

reboot

 

good luck

Thanks a lot!

 

But sadly it did not work, I still get an 1280x1024

 

This is my com.apple.Boot.plist

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1680x1050x32</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>

</dict>

</plist>

BUMP

 

Apparently I am meant to delete the:

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>

 

And replace it with:

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>Graphics Mode=1680x1050x32</string>

 

 

I'm confused...Anyone out there? 67 views and 1 comment!

Hi there,

 

your conf file is fubar. Fix it so it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Graphics Mode</key>
	<string>1680x1050x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Good luck,

for some strange reason, the following method does not ALWAYS work:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>

 

in that case, this syntax works:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32"</string>

 

dunno why the system wouldn't accept the first syntax sometimes, as it is correct.

nevertheless, the second syntax should always work, except in your case, SMCentral.

I've done what you guys have said and well, nothing works!

 

I've made sure I've saved it, I made sure EVERYTHING is okay and it still doesnt work
