megavolkan Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > select resolution Does that work? I think you should try it for yourself. This is the normal way of changing the screen res. in OSX. If u can see other resolutions listed then your video card is supported and can change res. If there is only one res (1024x768 in your case) then this means your video card is an unsupported type and cannot change res. on the fly. Doing this is a little tricky. You should enter a resolution in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file. Make a search in the forum for detailed info.

demigod Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 i have a similar problem . i have XFX Nvidia 7300GS (256 On board Mem) card and a Samsung SyncMaster 920NM 19" Monitor. it works at 1440x900 @ 60 Hz in Hackintosh.But it can go upto 75Hz.i have used it in windows vista(1440x900@75Hz) now how can i increase the refresh rate.when i change resolution it shows only 60 and 59 Hz. with that refresh rate (60hz) text looks broken is this the case with all monitors...? i have seen most of the viewsonic monitor are mac compatible. if i buy one will work at max refresh rate. i have plan to buy a monitor. suggest me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93302-how-to-change-screen-resolution/#findComment-665339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubombmimac Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 you should be able to change it from the sys prefences. otherwise you might need to update your kexts to support the card Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93302-how-to-change-screen-resolution/#findComment-667446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
