Hi, I have installed Mac OS X Mountain Lion on my PC (Hackintosh) successfully and I was very happy :D.

But, I realised I have a lower screen resolution than my monitor has supported!
The only selection in System Preferences > Display is "1024 x 768". My monitor resolution is "1280 x 1024".
I need help?

And, I need to record my screen but this problem ain't letting me.

I am using ATI Radeon HD (Don't remember the number).

Tried Multibeast and restarted but no good. Stayed the same. Also tried putting the string in the com.apple.Boot.plist and also in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist and restart but still no luck.

Tried all websites but no luck.

Please help? Any help would be appreciated. o_o

Try to install this kext with Kext Wizard. It my solve the probleme. But I can guarantee nothing so back up everything if your PC won't boot after the install.
But I think it is worth a try.

OK. I will try.

EDIT: Nope, not working. Gave a Kernel Panic, restarted and then it booted into Mac OS X but I still tried going into System Preferences > Display and clicking Scalable but I still only see that option.

I can only use 1280 X 800 resolution on my Hackintosh?

I am out of options now. I killed the Z77-DS3H board now i am on a
Intel DH67BL LGA 1155
16Gig Memory
240Gig SSD
OS X 10.11.3
i5 3570 3.4


Thing is the GT 740 is still only showing 1280 x 800 Resolution. This is pissing me off now. Web Drivers are installed along with cuda. The colors seem ok but the resolution is driving me nuts. Help please.

How are you connecting to your monitor ?
Post your org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
