Safari Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Is there a way to extend the screen resolution to 1280*1024 on a ati X300 graphic card? This small screen resolution is really annoying on a 17 inches screen. This is the only thing that's bugging me, apart from that everything else runs fantastic.

linosx Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Have the same problem here. Nothing seems to work. Installing 10.4.4 drivers didn't let me run the card at all. I think it has something to do with refresh rates, because i tryed two displays. One says out of range and the other complains about a 86 Hz vertical refresh rate. But the system continues working as if no problem was detected. Is the refresh rate hardcoded into the drivers or is there any file we can rewrite to try more modest rates as 74 or so?

darkunderlord Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yes, I have an x300, no SE from what I can tell, that came out of an HP XW4300. With 10.4.3 8f1111a with JaS's patch, I have QE and CI out of the box. Then after editting the com.apple.Boot.plist or something file, I have 1280x1024x32. No problems except for the minor cursor repainting issues when scrolling web pages with my mouse wheel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8101-ati-x300-graphic-card-on-osx-1043-8f1111a/#findComment-54858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8ne Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist add <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@85</string> or whatever resolution your monitor supports. Try reading the wiki or searching forums before you ask questions that have been answered a million times already. Have a nice day.
