OS X 10.3 on eMac stuck at 640x480
« on: January 20, 2011, 03:53:23 AM »
First off, I will have you know that my eMac's DVD rom will not read my DVD based copy of OS X 10.4 so I'm stuck installing off a 10.3 CD set.

Now when I have everything installed, it says I'm stuck in the display move of 640x480 and need to change my system's settings to fix this, but when I go in, the only option I get is 648x480. How do i resolve this issue?

Also what is the highest version of OS X released that runs on PPC?

Thankx!

Did apple ever release an update disc to take OS X 10.3 to 10.5?

Installed drivers off AMD's site...

now everything is still in a small screen but in black and white, even after a reboot, reformat, and re-install. What the hell?! :/

PRAM... interesting.

I will give the tutorial I found on this subject a try, then if that does not work then I will just say screw it and leave this machine as a MorphOS only machine as I don't see why in the hell anyone would want to spend more than $20 bucks on an old outdated version of OS X anyhow. The prices on Ebay are blowing my mind!

At those prices, I might as well save up a bit more and just buy an intel Mac Mini as an additional machine.
