Hi,
On boot, the apple logo is showing in low resolution "1024x768", instead of full resolution..

I tried the old "<key>Graphics Mode</key>" trick on org.chameleon.Boot.plist, but nothing changed..

So, here is my org.chameleon.Boot.plist content:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Graphics Mode</key>
	<string>1360x768x32@60</string>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>npci=0x3000 darkwake=0</string>
	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>2</string>
	<key>UseKernelCache</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

and here is my smbios.plist content "if needed":

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>SMfamily</key>
	<string>Mac Pro</string>
	<key>SMproductname</key>
	<string>MacPro3,1</string>
	<key>SMboardproduct</key>
	<string>Mac-F42C88C8</string>
	<key>SMserial</key>
	<string>G88451235J4</string>
	<key>SMbiosversion</key>
	<string>MultiBeast.tonymacx86.com</string>
</dict>
</plist>

So, what do i need to change?
Any extra changes that may improve the performance would be great as well :thumbup:

thnx

Has your GFX card the ability to generate that Resolution in FB Mode (FB=Vesa FrameBuffer)? To test which Modes your GFX Card supports, on the Chimera Bootscreen just hit any key, scroll down and select Video Info. To leave the Video Info Window just hit Escape and you can boot normally. For further Information pleas have a look there -> viewtopic.php?f=76&t=9448
 
Aha,
I looked it up, ans as you mentioned, it is not supported..
But i noticed that all the resolutions available are 4:3, none of them is 16:9..
Like even 1080x720 or 1920x1080 is supported..

Anyway to fix that? or is it hardware stuff?

thank you,,
