mindfuse Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi,I've gone through a number of issues, but have worked them all out but this. I have tried NVinject but it didn't work. Same with a few others. I tried the macvidia driver..and oddly enough, it seemed to work. However, it acted like I had a dual display..and my mouse would cross the screen twice, like it went through two monitors (hard to explain..it was weird). With that, I still couldn't change my resolution from 1024x768 . Everything on this resolution looks huge (finder..the dock, etc), and I'd really like to be able to change it to 1280x1024. Can someone help me? Even if I can't get the nv drivers installed (but I'd really like to), is there a file I can edit or something to change my resolution? It's driving me crazy. I have an onboard Nvidia Geforce 6150.Please help if you can. Thanks! -edit Sorry about the double threads..I had some lag ;( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96757-onboard-nvidia-geforce-6150-cant-change-my-resolution/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software Updater Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 When you install partition your hard drive as GUID (I think that is the one for intel macs.) Whenever I partition as MBR I got stuck at "Waiting for Root Device". -Software Updater Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96757-onboard-nvidia-geforce-6150-cant-change-my-resolution/#findComment-703847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Termite Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 hey i have the same problem but i have done a diagnostic and i have found out the reason why you cant change it, its because its your graphics card problems or the graphic card itself i am still trying to find a solution ill get back to you about what to do Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96757-onboard-nvidia-geforce-6150-cant-change-my-resolution/#findComment-842234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelbb Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You cannot change the resolution of Nvidia 6150 onboard graphics from 1024x768. There is no QE/CI either. It's basically because it uses shared system memory & there is no graphics for a real Mac that is anything like it. The best bet is to buy a cheap supported graphics card. Check the HCL for a suitable card http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96757-onboard-nvidia-geforce-6150-cant-change-my-resolution/#findComment-843145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_c Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Well, to get resolution change on this video adaptor do the following :- GeForce Go 6100 / 6150 - Managed to get it working at 1280x800 [credit goes to andy.karpov] (Delete/Move Geforce*.kext, NV*.kext. Install MacVidia 1.0.81; don't restart; open terminal; type 'sudo mkdir/NVBackup' type 'sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.bundle /NVBackup' then type 'sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.plugin /NVBackup' restart - open display properties and get 1280x800.

Zythyr Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Is there a working link for MacVidia? I couldn't find any working download links. I have a GeForce 7150M card, which is also a shared memory graphics card. I am trying to change the resolution but its not work.
