gary_s Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hello Everyone, I am a noob to OSX and post reading several articles was able to install Leopard ( unable to get Snow Leopard as it gets a Apple failure , Stop symbol) with a problem with the display resolution , which is struck at 1024x768. My System configuration is as : 1> Chipset Type NVIDIA GeForce 8300 2> Main Board : ASUS M3N78-EM 3> Monitor : LG2360 LED. To get full resolution i tried the following : 1> I tried to edit the com.apple.Boot.plist with higher resolution but nothing happens. Graphics Mode1280x1024x32@60 2> Downloaded SwitchresX application and tried to run but in vain (nothing happens). 3> Downloaded OSX Tools and tried to add EFI string but i get a error message as : Apple SCRIPT ERROR "System events got error : Cant get contents of configuration of property list "\library\prefrences\system\configuration\com.apple.Boot.plist" " Kindly suggest what should be done to get the full resolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary_s Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thank you, for the prompt response. I tried using Lizard as discussed and was able to get 1680x900 resolution which was improvement over 1024x768 but still cant get the full resolution 1980x 1024 I tried modifying the string with out refresh rate as : Graphics Mode1280x900x32 If i try to modify at next higher resolution string it simply gets a white horizontal bar on the Screen. I also tried copying the properties> string with the help of OSXtools which landed me in boot failure. Kindly suggest what could i do , again my Mother board is ASUS M3N78-EM with Geforce 8300 onboard GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
