Re: 16:9 displays possible on MacOS 8.6

2015-07-08 Thread Kris Tilford 
The resolution is normally a function of the hardware & hardware drivers. Since 
your unspecified video card supports 1600x900 in 10.4.11 & 9.2.2, it means the 
hardware does support the desired resolution, but that OS 8.6 is lacking the 
required software driver. You could try substituting the driver from OS 9.2.2 
and see if it loads correctly in OS 8.6. I don’t understand why you’d need OS 
8.6 when OS 9.2.2 appears to work, but perhaps there is a reason.

16:9 displays possible on MacOS 8.6

2015-07-08 Thread Neil Hughes 
Having just introduced my B&W G3 PowerMac to its first non-CRT display, 
I've hit a problem. It's an AOC 2050 20" monitor with a native 
resolution of 1600x900.


In OSX 10.4 (via a drive moved from my now deceased G3 iMac) and MacOS 
9.2.2 it works fine in this resolution (looks great), but in MacOS 8.6 I 
can't get anything higher than 1024x768 and nothing in 16:9 format, just 
4:3.


Can 8.6 handle widescreen monitors? Has anybody got one running at 
1600x900, etc. The display control panel shows "2050" in 8.6, so it 
should be getting the native resolution back from the monitor.
