[HOWTO] Install Adobe CS3 for OS X on Aspire One

[HOWTO] Install Adobe CS3 for OS X on Aspire One

1. If all kexts installed correctly, it would show 1024x600 as the maximum supported resolution under OS X display settings
2. Illustrator and Indesign CS3 require a minimum resolution of 1024x768, they refuse to install in any lower resolutions, so what do you do?
3. Download, install and launch SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/)
4. Without looking at anything else, just click on the "custom" tab and add "1024x768", apply and restart
5. Upon reboot, go to OS X display settings again, this time you will find 1024x768, choose it and there you go
6. Install your CS3 suite now and change the resolution back to 1024x600 afterwards

You could probably just hook your AA1 up to an external monitor to achieve the same result.

 

So how is the performance? Is it even worth trying it.
