OSX on a T60 Wide

Hello,

I have a new T60 with the wide screen (1680x1050 - WSXGA+), Model 8741-55G.

I installed OSX 10.4.8 fine. Now I am trying to get as many things as possible to work:

- Battery: ok with patch
- Sound: there is no /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/ in my installation. Did I miss something during installation ?
- WLAN: the Intel Chip won't work according to other posts
- Display: I have an ATI X1400 and managed to get 1400x1050 that gets stretched to 1680. Does anyone have a hint on how to get 1680 ?

Thanks,
Pippo

Did you already edit /System/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist, adding the following lines?

<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>

During installation, you must select among the Jas packages to be installed also this one:

10.4.8.Azalia.Audio.Support

Otherwise you won't have it in the extensions. Anyway, now you can extract it from the dvd with the Pacifist application (google for it, download and install it)

Regards

Thank you !
Yes that's what I tried since posting:

<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>

didn't help: I still get 1400x1050x32 displayed

I also chose:

10.4.8.Azalia.Audio.Support

But after modifying it and running sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
I get an error message that it is not authentic and should be reinstalled.....

Did you fix permissions and owner on the modified kext and clear the kext cache before rebooting?

As root, in console:

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
rm /System/Library/Extensions.kexcache
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

If you already did it I don't have any other clue, otherwise try

Thank you, it was the permission problem !

Now I only need to find a solution for the display resolution.

Grazie !

Any luck getting resolution support for 1680x1050?

I'm in the same boat and am looking for help.
