Help with graphics settings

[sammybk]

I have everything pretty much working right now. I am using Quartz Debugger to set Quartz Extreme to OFF and Quartz 2D Extreme to ON.

 

My problem is when I quit Quartz Debugger or restart my computer, all settings revert to default (Quartz Extreme ON, and Q2DE off.

 

I have the following in my coregraphics configuration.plist:

 

<key>Quartz2DExtremeConfiguration</key>
	<dict>
			<key>Quartz2DExtremeEnabled</key>
			<true/>
			<key>Quartz2DExtremeMinimumVRAM</key>
			<integer>64</integer>
			<key>Quartz2DExtremeMinimumDRAM</key>
			<integer>512</integer>
			<key>Quartz2DExtremeVendorDisabled</key>
			<array>
			</array>
	</dict>

 

According to the system profiler, my video card (Radeon 9700 PRO) does not support Quartz Extreme, and it shows in the performnce (~2FPS on GUI).

 

I am also trying to figure out how to get my refresh rate above 60hz. I have the following in my com.apple.boot.plist:

 

key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1024X768X32@85</string>

 

With that in, it still boots up with Q2DE OFF, QE ON, and at 1024x768@60hz.
