Can't get HD screen resolution with Clover

[bvahdat]

Hi

I've got El Capitan up & running on my HD (Clover with boot0ss in MBR, legacy mode) together with Windows 8 on a seperate HD, and booting into each works fine. The problem is however the screen resolution I've got by El Captain as my hardware supports HD-resolution but can't get that working (in Windows 8.1 I've got HD resolution). Setting 1920x1080 inside config.plist doesn't change anything:

https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/GUI#gui_screenresolution

And I'm stuck with 1024x768 no matter what I set...

And in the past while using Mavericks with Chimera I used to have that resolution and I hope that should be somehow possible in El Capitan with Clover.


Any thoughts?

It sounds like you don't have QE/CI implemented.

I have to stick to

nv_disable=1

as otherwise I'll get a grey screen while booting up. Used to do the same in the past with Mavericks:

GraphicsEnabler=No

Was it this what you meant?

Not possible to implement Nvidia QE/CI with nv_disable=1.

Thanks for your answer. I looked a bit further into this. Right now I've got one config.plist which boots perfectly with low screen resolution, and one config-with-hd.plist which boots in HD quality but then hangs later on.

Maybe you know which section of config-with-hd.plist I should take over into config.plist so that I can boot properly with HD quality?

Nvidia drivers don't load with nv_disable=1. No expectation of working graphics without the drivers loading.

I'm not familiar with common issues/solutions for Nvidia (I don't have any such hardware). And your hardware is really old... You might use google to come up with information.
