Press 'Ok' Close SwitchResX and save when prompted. Adjust the settings to match the appropriate PNG provided in this gist. Add a new custom resolution be clicking the + symbol at the bottom of the window. And My whole goal is to be able to power up any of the machines without having to try to disconnect / reconnect a bunch of wires.Īnd I don't want an ugly modern LCD sitting in the middle of my vintage Macs.Īnyway, long story short, I'm going to try to use this existing 1366x768 LCD which supports VGA, and would like to have my Mac's natively output that resolution. After launching SwitchResX, select the external monitor from the list on the left. Spent 1:30 hour with apple customer support, they did not know why, went to the store, tested with their LG5k monitor and they could not understand why I could not. I just bought the LG5k for my MBP 15 touchbar, but could not get higher than 3200x1800 from the default system display pref. I think in an ideal world, I'd have my dream monitor, the Apple Stuio 17" CRT, but I've had trouble finding one locally on my desk for this, and I doubt there are any KVMs with ADC switching. Great simple app to get resolution you can’t normally get This app is just pefect for what it does.

#SWITCHRESX CUSTOM RESOLUTION FOR MAC OS#
My question is, given I boot these machines into Mac OS X and Mac OS 9, is there a solution to setting custom display resolution to match the display's resolution? I've found some tools that may work for specific versions of Mac OS X (with varying success), but nothing for Mac OS 9 (or even 8?).Īny thoughts on this. scrolling with multiple monitors, 51 custom keyboard shortcuts, programming, 6768.
#SWITCHRESX CUSTOM RESOLUTION INSTALL#
Your Mac doesnt let you choose your native screen display Your existing resolutions are either too small, or too big, but not what you really want Just create your resolution, and let SwitchResX install it into macOS. The problem is the LCD I have is widescreen, with a resolution of 1366x768.Īnyway, my reason for my setup is not the main question. SwitchResX can let you to create new resolutions or customize existing ones, to get a perfect screen experience. Unfortunately, I don't have a vintage Monitor on my desk that I could use as the display. This will allow me to display my vintage Macs on the top of the desk, with a row of PowerMac towers underneath, while still being able to boot up and use the Powermacs.
I'm trying to set them up with VGA out to a KVM, with the video going to a custom LCD I had from another project that will slide out from under the desk. I have a collection of PowerMacs (a couple G3 B&W, and a handful of different types of G4s).
