Hi all, I recently acquired a second 17" LCD monitor (from LEM Swap, natch). My old one moved over to replace the 17" Apple CRT (Studio Display? Not sure what it's called, but it looks like the 1st gen iMacs).
One of the machines on that monitor, a G4 dual 450 running 10.4.8, only has two monitor size choices: 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. The LCD wants something more in the 1280 x ??? range, and after a restart comes up black. I can get to it using good ol' Timbuktu, and fortunately it's a server that doesn't require me to look at it often. So I'm not hurting too bad. I've tried other video cards that show the same with this particular system install, and other hard drives with various OSX installs have displayed plenty of choices fine on this machine. The card is a standard ATY Rage 128 Pro (ROM revision 113-72701-125 if that makes any difference). So the big question is: what system bits do I need to copy into there to get it to show me a choice in the 1280 range? Because this is a working server I'm not prone to a system reinstall - or as you can see by the fact that it's at 10.4.8, an upgrade. It ain't *that* broke, so I don't want to do anything drastic and really break it. But I'm fine with doing a restart. Thanks for any pointers. -- Bill Christensen <http://greenbuilder.com/contact/> Green Building Professionals Directory: <http://directory.greenbuilder.com> Sustainable Building Calendar: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/calendar/> Green Real Estate: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/> Straw Bale Registry: <http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/> Books/videos/software: <http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
