gargarxp Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Okay... I currently have an ATI Radeon 9200 AGP (64MB) card up in my system. Now, the Darwin loader reports it to be VESA 2.0, and I'm not about to question it. Now, I don't rather enjoy my eyes being assaulted by my monitor with 60Hz refresh, and the resoultion to be higher would also be nice. I tried booting with the kernel flag "Graphics Mode=1280x1024x32" (I even tried adding a '@85' to the end, even though I knew it wouldn't work...it didn't), and the resolution *did* go up to 1280x1024...but it was smaller and offset (similar to what happens in Windows if the resolution is too high but the refresh rate is at 60Hz). My question here is, is there some way of forcing the refresh rate to be higher in OSX with my lowly VESA 2.0 card? I have accepted the lack of QE and acceleration (yes...even the cool splash effect when you add a widget to the dashboard) My ideal settings would be 1280x1024, 32bit color @ 85Hz ty Sys Specs: Motherboard: ASUS P4P800S Chipset: Intel 848P CPU: Intel Celeron (Northwood) 2.4GHz (SSE2 only) RAM: 768MB Video: ATI Radeon 9200 64MB (AGP) Audio: Integrated SoundMAX Digital Audio (not working) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/830-ati-radeon-screen-resolution-refresh-rate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
