glassJAw Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Why can't I seem to change my resolution and why is it determined by the drivers? I have both graphic enhancements activated from the start and it runs beautifully, but I can't change the resolution. I'm stuck @ 1024 x 768, and I would like 1280 x 800. I guess I just find it strange that the graphic enhancements work, but the resolution does not. I guess I'm just trying to understand why resolution is fixed @ 1024x768.

glassJAw Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 I don't want to use Boris's method because then I can't use my laptops screen.

gwprod12 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 If you're not using boris or callisto, you wont get widescreen resolution. As for callisto, I dont know if it supports widescreen or not.

As for callisto, I dont know if it supports widescreen or not. I tried Callisto today earlier and it fubured up. I would select my native res. 1280 x 800 and the the OSX would just go to a blue screen and do nothing until I turned it off and got back in.

gwprod12 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I dont know much about callisto, cause I dont use it. Without callisto or boris method, you cant get widescreen at the present time. Sorry. You should post an ioreg -l. It might help.
