[MAC] Dual Boot + Resolution workaround

Cheers Dual Boot MAC OS X Leopard + Windows 7 is working better than expected :>!
My PC is booting... loading the Mac Chameleon Bootmanager where you can choose between the HDDs and the Windows one has a Windows logo :D. Thats nice!
As I already reported, I had the problem with the low resolution on my hackint0sh but yea i can't use any kext(kernel extension) yet because it might destroy the system. So I needed a workaround which is simply adding "Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32" parameter while booting up.

So i downloaded the PlistEdit Pro and opened the Boot.plist @ /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

and added:
Graphics Mode
1680x1050x32

Now its booting in my native resolution :).
Euuh not really :( its only 1400x1050. ~4:3 res? That isn't cool.

[MAC] Can I install a Hackint0sh?

Hey,

I haven't writen for long time.
- New THPS-Modding related stuff will come when CHC fixed the hackthpsforums :(
- PCSX2: I'll try the newer revisions when I've fixed my computer and added Windows 7

Fixing PC?
Oh ya I've messed my last weeks around with trying installing Mac OS X on my PC. I tried a Snow Leopard x86 and two other Leopards(iDeneb v1 and Leo4All v3) but it didn't went good as I hoped. Two DVDs stopped installing the OS because of the Error: "Could not validate Essentials package"

But hey, what about the third DVD? And so I tried installing from the last one... FAIL. There popped an other window that the DVD might be broken or something. OK!
So I wanted to stay on the EssentialError DVDs. Configuring BIOS, changing RAM and disconnecting IDE DVD Reader didn't helped. Well what to do?
Yes, let's load an other DVD. And so I downloaded an other DVD to try. Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 iDeneb v1.51 was the build. It started to install and BOOM finished installing. YAY! But it isn't done yet! I was dying to know what would happen when it is booting. Well next "error". The PC could'nt boot and hang up @ "Verifying DMI Pool Data...". Wow :(. Hm maybe... he is trying to boot from the wrong HDD? After changing the bootorder of my two HDDs it's finally booted up. Apple logo is showing up and then a blue screen flashed up and went to a black one. And no desktop or anything to see :(. That's evil weird. Because of that I got the idea to reinstall Mac OS X without any videocard drivers and it worked and bootet into Leopard. Nice! But the resolution is only @ 1024x768 and that sux :D!
Ok today I'll try to create a Dual Boot with Windows 7 and Mac OS X Leopard ;)!
