Jun 28, 2013 11:22 AM in response to BDAquaby janardanrevuru,Thanks much for hinting about cable. I used to use same cable for my other OS installations. But I realized that I have bought the new DisplayPort to VGA adaptor (Apple product). The connecting through another cable to monitor.
I now changed to HDMI to DVI cable and the resolution is perfect 1600x1200.
Regards,
Janardan

Jan 3, 2014 9:17 PM in response to janardanrevuruby bundoora,I wouldn't describe 1600x1200 as "perfect".
1920x1200 - probably and
2560x1600 - definitely.

Jan 4, 2014 4:03 AM in response to janardanrevuruby lllaass,18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.
