Restore the 1152x864 resolution in 10.3
Authored by: Gordonj333 on Feb 25, '05 02:01:10PM

I'm especially interested in adding additional display resolution options to my 17" powerbook g4. I would like to add 1920x1200, just to see how it looks. I know that the physical pixels are not really flexible, but I still would like to see that as an option if it were possible.

Would I be able to add this resolution in the same fashion so that I could try 1920x1200 resolution on my powerbook, or does this hack just unlock something that is already part of the system in another place.

Either way, I know that Apple offers support for that screen resolution (and aspect ratio) based on the 23" cinema display

To trick an LCD to run at higher resolution than is native!

While I don't think this hack alone will enable you to "see" your PowerBook running 1920x1200, combining it with the kewl screensharing VNC client in ARD 2.1 (and possibly other VNC servers, but I'm not to familiar with those) it might be possible.

I use ARD on my iBook to connect to Macs running much higher resolutions than my meager 1024 x 768. I've dreamed of tricking my iBook into thinking it was running a higher resolution somehow (possibly through the external video port?) and then connecting to itself...

But I really have no idea how to make this work. Still, it would be a useful feature - another kind of "virtual desktop" which is so sorely lacking natively in OS X.
