Only runs in 1024 x 768 mode, unless i boot with iBoot

[ncfootballchamp]

As you can imagine, this is very annoying. How can i either make it so whatever is on that iboot disc is the default bootloader for my HD or fix the resolution when i boot from my current bootloader?

Thanks very much

System: GA-EP45-UD3P
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9600

Are you using NVEnabler or Graphics Enabler=Yes?

If you are using GraphicsEnabler=Yes then I would recomend trying NVEnabler instead.

First install NVEabler from multi-beast and run system utilities. see attached

Next go to your /Extra folder and open com.apple.Boot.plist by running this in terminal

sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist

Then remove the following

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

So that it looks like this

<?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>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>arch=x86_64</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>1</string>
	<key>Theme</key>
	<string>Default</string>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>  
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>RestartFix</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Now save it and reboot.

That's weird. That 9800GTX should be support from almost first boot! If not then, after 10.6.4 and multibeast update! I've only had to use EFI strings back on Leopard. On snow leopard you should only need GraphicsEnabler=yes, and 10.6.4 should have updated your Nvidia drivers. You should have acceleration. I recently gave my old 9800GTX to my son.

I have the the same card and all I have is Graphics Enabler=Yes in my com.apple.Boot.plist
