morphix Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 hi. i installed 10.4.6 JaS image and booted into it.. everything was going good, i installed the marvell yukon drivers then restarted. When the machine booted back up i went on the internet to look on how i could change the resolution. I followed the editing of.. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and just put in <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> then i saved it then rebooted, now... there is only 1 error i can see which is display: wrong family specific or something similar to that. now osx wont boot i tried using the installation disc to erase those 2 lines from the com.apple.Boot.plist file, except it seems there is no text editor accessable via the terminal on the install disc :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphix Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 ok i copied the Boot.plist file from the install cd over my editing one, so now i'm booted back into osx i am trying to setup my ati radeon 9800 pro (256mb), i have looked through the wiki and forum but i cant seem to find where to locate the device id, etc. i am used to linux's lspci, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Try using Apple's System Profiler: Go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac" Click on "More info..." In System Profiler, on the left, click on Graphics/Displays. On the right, read Vendor and Device ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the right, read Vendor and Device ID yeah i found it, only thing is.. when following the ati guide.. when i hex edit the ATIRadeon9700 file and also text edit the Info.plist files.. they already have the values i have to add.. should i still do what the guide says? even tho its pretty much just overwriting other ati cards.
