iATKOS leopard 1.0i intel 950GMA

[limac]

hi,

 

I have: Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Controller 0 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)

 

And i guess this falls under intel 950 GMA, but in leopard the only available intel driver is for X3100. And after the installation (which went fabulously ) the only resolution available is 1024x768 for my 15.4" laptop sreen. But I want 1280x800 as my resolution. But in the system preferences the only resolution that it is showing is 1024x768.

 

So how can I make my screen to have a resolution of 1280x800?

 

Regards,

limac

go edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist like this

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>5</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

you will have to insert where the stuff in bold is

 

 

insert your resolution where mine is and save

 

then restart it may ask you to restart when you turn back on mine did dont panic just restart and it will sort its self out
