Resolution on 10.6 Snow Leopard on Ivy Bridge

Post by Bushstar »

I need to use Snow Leopard 10.6 as a developer environment but am stuck on 1024x768 which makes work much harder than it should be. I cannot install Multibeast as I am on Ivy Bridge and doing so stops it from booting. As Ivy Bridge is not supported by 10.6 I'm lucky to have it running at all. To get it to boot I use iboot-Ivy-Bridge which I'm happy with. Normally you would install Multibeast and then change the resolution from changing the resolution by editing the org.Chameleon.boot.plis in the Extra folder. With no Multibeast I have no Extra folder. My only idea is to extract the iboot-Ivy-Bridge, edit the org.Chameleon.boot.plis in there and then create a bootable disk but have no idea if that would work.

Has anyone got this working and can share how to do it, knows if my idea would work or perhaps there is a Multibeast or equivalent for 10.6 and Ivy Bridge out there?
