FREE MAC RESOLUTION SWITCHER MAC OS

I connected my monitor through the neutered extension, and the Mac OS had no idea what it was - I was free to select any resolution my card supported! Of course, some of them resulted in the monitor telling me "Out of Range," but I did get to select some new ones. Needle-Nose pliers, I ripped (quite literally) said pins out of the male end of the cable. I went to the computer store and bought a 15 pin monitor extension cable. It turns out that the monitor identifies itself by sending data over pins 4, 11, 12, and 15. Okay, I've done some experimenting, and I've found some promising results. Perhaps it's time that I contact KDS and see if they can help me with an override file (or else, there might be some adapter which will help kill the Plug-and-Pray signal between monitor and computer, thus forcing the Displays control panel to allow all possible sizes supported by my video card (which are 320*240 right up to 1900*1600 at 24 bit colour)). I think the DisplayVendorID is for Apple displays. localhost/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-756e6b6e localhost/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-610 localhost/System/Library/Displays/DisplayServices.app Presumably this might provide a mechanism to override the Plug-and-Pray information returned by the monitor. What I just found on a search is the following app and Overrides folder. Only when I change resolution in the Displays control panel do the two files get changed. What is interesting is that the files are *not* changed to 1024*768 on login/boot even though the screen size is set to 1024*768 (& when I press the monitor's preferences button it says it's running at 1024*768 75 Hz vertical & 67 kHz horizontal refresh rates, rather than the USER MODE HF: 68.5 kHz VF 75 Hz that shows up with 1152*870). change settings under OS X with TextEdit, restart change settings under OS X with TextEdit, logout, loginģ. change settings under OS 9.04 with BBEdit Lite 4.6 and boot into OS XĢ.

I set it to 870*1152 (my desired screen size) and had no success. If you'll notice there are two entries: 7, my current screen size. \username\library\preferences\byhost\#ist

Hello, ya'll, I did a screen size change and figured out two files were changed:Ĭom. & another by the same name. I really hope they fix the inteface before the *next* "final" release!!! There is little of Apple's GUI magic in this release. Why did you release a beta OS X as a "final" product. Īh, Apple, brilliant sometimes, moronic at others. well, ok, the fact that OS 9.1 caused my machine to go into a never ending restart loop might also be playing a role in me staying with OS 9.04. the only non-Apple extension/control panel I run is Kensington Mousworks).

I'm not running OS 9.1 partly because it doesn't support my monitor properly (& SwitchRes & Super Res are unstable.

Is there any software out there yet which will over-ride the settings "control panel" and allow me to use my screen sizes? Is it possible to take the software from the OSX public beta and replace the Displays setting in OSX final? This new mickey-mouse kiddy stuff is a pain in my derière.

The Mac OS X public beta provided full support for my monitor and allowed me to manually configure what resolutions I wanted to support (awesome). What is happening (I think) is that with the OS 9.1 update/Mac OSX final Apple now uses Plug-and-Pray information from my monitor which lists only 640*480, 800*600, 832*624, 1024*768 & 1280*1024 as "recommended" screen sizes. 60 Hz refresh rates flicker like crazy and drives my eyes nuts so I can't use 1280*1024, and 1024*768 is simply too small - with OSX over-graphiced and large fonted (CAN FONT SMOOTHING BE TURNED OFF? it's making text quite difficult to read) interface it leaves my 17" monitor feeling like a large 14" at 640*480! The problem I'm running into is that I CANNOT select 1152*870 75Hz in OSX, my every-day working resolution. My card (the Blue & White G3 16 MB ATI RAGE 128) is quite capable of displaying all those sizes and refresh rates. Hello, I have a 17" monitor (KDS Avitron AV7-TF - Sony Trinitron tube)), capable of displaying (at and Hz.
