Donk Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Which version of 10.4.11 are you using? 1. Graphics - you are using the emulated VMware graphics card. To change rsolution you will have to alter the resolution in com.apple.Boot.plist found in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and add the following : <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string> Use whatever resolution you feel you need here. I would also suggest increasing the VMware video RAM to 128Mb by adding this to the VMX file: svga.vramSize = "134217728" 2. The old Maxxuss drivers used to work for 10.4.8, maybe they will work in .11 3. Sound is emulated AudioPCI 128 card. Need to find drivers for the virtual hardware.
