13" Cannot set screen resolution in Windows 7 to 1440 by 900

Just finished installing BootCamp with Windows 7 Pro. For some reason the screen resolution in Windows display driver only goes up to 1200 not 1440 x 900. On MacOS it is obviously working fine. Any ideas?

On my MacBook Air 11 with Windows 7 64 bit I experience an even worse situation: when ever trying to install a NVidia driver (also when following the mentioned instructions) the setup executable reports - after a check of system compatibility - that no compatible graphic hardware (=320m) could be found. Luckily at least MacOS X is aware of a NVidia 320m installed.
Any Idea? Thanks

How to set screen resolution on Apple TV Gen2

This is my first bad out of the box experience with an Apple product. I got my brand new Apple TV Gen 2 and hooked it up to our Sony Receiver/TV.
Plugged everything in. Turned it on and I got the screen but am not able to change resolution. With the current resolution I can not see all the menus and the display does not fit on the 40" display.
Tried unplugging.
Tried doing a reset.
Tried holding the Menu & Down arrow
Tried looking through the menus, such as Settings, Video & Audio but can't find anything on setting screen resolution
Tried searching this forum for instructions for changing resolution
Much appreciation in advance for any tips or magic tricks on setting screen resolution.

i also have this problem. i had a long discussion with apple support and the result was that apple tv 2 is not build for connecting it to a receiver but only to a up-to-date flat TV. i don´t know how i managed it to use the 720p resolution but as i had it i set the auto power to off and let it switched on all the time.
after the update to 4.2.1 it had no chance to get it to 720p. it is locked to 1024x768 which is not the resolution i want to watch HD movies.
but my setup is not a normal one. i have a onkyo AV receiver which is sending the HDMI signal over a HDMI splitter to an LCD screen and a HD beamer. the LCD screen is an old one which has no HDMI input, i use a HDMI to analog-component converter for this. the HDMI output of the onkyo is connected to a wireless HDMI system from marmitek.
so its not so the ideal setting for apple tv. i hope that everything works fine if i have a new flat TV with a normal HDMI input.

Hi:
Most likely you need to install the graphics driver for W8.1 from your PC's support and driver page.

Optimal screen resolution for Windows XP

I'm using Windows XP at times, and it was installed for me when I purchased the computer via MacMall. The screen resolution is sat at screen: 1440 x 900 Color 32 BPP. Is this the desirable setting? I have not change it, as I'm wary to experiment too much with Windows XP on the Mac.

If you're using an LCD, the optimal resolution is what ever the native (usually advertised) resolution is of the LCD. Anything lower and things may be blurry. It cannot go higher.

How to set screen resolution in BDC

hi pls give info regarding how to set resolution for screen
thank you
Ravi

hi,
For screen resolution use ctu_params, with default size
Data : f_option type ctu_params,
f_option-updmode = 'S'.
f_option-defsize = 'X'.
f_option-dismode = 'N'.
call transaction 'VA01' using bdcdata options from f_option messages into bdcerror.
CALL TRANSACTION tcode... OPTIONS FROM opt
... OPTIONS FROM opt
Effect
Allows you to control processing using the values of the componetns of the structure opt, which must have the ABAP Dictionary type CTU_PARAMS. The components have the following meanings:
DISMODE
Display mode (like the MODE addition)
UPDMODE
Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
CATTMODE
CATT mode (controls a CATT)
CATT mode can have the following values:
' ' No CATT active
'N' CATT without single-screen control
'A' CATT with single-screen control
DEFSIZE
Use default window size
RACOMMIT
Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
NOBINPT
No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
NOBIEND
No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
'X' Yes
' ' No
If you do not use the OPTIONS FROM addition, the following control parameter settings apply:
DISMODE
From addition MODE
UPDMODE
From addition UPDATE
CATTMODE
No CATT active
DEFSIZE
Do not use default window size
RACOMMIT
Successful end on COMMIT WORK
NOBINPT
Batch input mode active ( SY-BINPT = X
NOBIEND
Batch input mode remains active after the BDC data

M400 Screen Resolution for Windows 7

Hi all,
I have an m400 tablet that I just got off lease and fixed up. It is great running Windows 7 except that I think that I am supposed to be able to set the screen resolution to something higher than 1024 x 768. Right now, that is the highest setting. The only other choice is 800 x 600. I have installed the latest graphics drivers for windows 7 from the toshiba support website.
Is this the limit for this machine? It seems like it should go higher considering the M200 machine goes to the higher resolution with windows 7.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Thanks!

Solved!

Thanks for the reply Jerry!
It is an S5032.
I looked it up and you are right about the screen resolution. It makes me feel better to know it is correct. I had been reading about the higher resolution and I didn't realize there were diffferent specs for different versions of the notebook.
The m200s that I bought both allow for the higher resolution (by default on XP and with a hacked driver in windows 7). It is understandable as to why they changed to the lower native resolution though. The higher resolution makes reading text difficult on a 12.1 inch screen.
It is hard to belive that this notebook retailed for $1700 in 2007 and I bought this one for $50 on ebay + $25 for a battery and power cord. I already had a hard drive and copy of windows for it (Windows 8 Consumer Preview also worked very well but I removed it because I thought the graphics driver was not working haha).
Thanks again.

Re: Satellite L30D - Low screen resolution after Windows 7 installation

I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite L30D. Since this installation, I cannot have a better resolkuton than 1024x768.*It was much better with Windows Vista.
I have downloaded the latest ATI driver. No effect. I cannot find the Catalyst Control Center as well. What can I do?

Hi
The Satellite L30D isnt known to me...
Do you mean Satellite L30 or Satellite L300D?
Normally you have to install the display driver if you want to use higher screen resolutions but check the specifications of your internal display first. Maybe the native screen resolution is 1024x768 and you cant use a higher one.
You can download all drivers for your notebook on the Toshiba website!!! Dont use the drivers from ATI directly, they are not designed for mobile chips.

Cannot set display resolution after upgrading to Mavericks

I have early Mac Mini connected to KVM stitch. Over the weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and it "dowgraded" display resolution from 1920x1200 to 1600x1200 and everythign looks streached. 1920x1200 no longer shows on the list in display properties (1920x1440 shows but it does not look good on my screen). I googled Option key trick and hitting "Scaled" while hold Option key does show some additional resolutions, but not the one I used to have.
Connecting Mac directly to the monitor allowed me to set proper resolution and after removing monitor and pluging mac back into KVM things "held" untill Mac goes to sleep or until reboots.
I am aware that my KVM switch does not communicate EDID but things did work just fine before upgrade to Mavericks.

Hello curtdav,
It sounds like you are getting a graphical anomoly when unplugging an external monitor. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Screen resolution in Windows XP

Hi all,
I have a iMac 24", with a screen resolution of 1920x1200. I installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. The problem I have now is in Windows, the highest possible choice for screen resolution is 1600x1200 which doesn't look good at all.
How do I change that into 1920x1200?
I am a complete newbie when it comes to windows so help is appreciated. (I only installed it to run SolidWorks during work).
Thanks,
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
just to rule ou the obvious:
Have you installed the BootCamp Windows Drivers from the OSX DVD yet ?
If not, while in Windows pop in the OSX DVD and the Driver Installation should start automatically.

Screen resolution in windows not as high as in 10.8

I recently got my hard drive replaced in my Mid 2010 27" iMac. I've partitioned the drive to reinstall Win 7 but now the screen resolution in Win7 is not as high as it was on the old hard drive. In 10.8, it runs at full resolution 2560x1440 but in Windows it runs at 1920x1440 max.
Anyone know how I can get Windows to show the full screen res because 1920x1440 looks like wallpaper that has been 'stretched to fit' and it's annoying to look at.
thanks

Can't set screen resolution

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The native resolution is 3200x1800. On archlinux (running latest Gnome3), I don't have the option to set the resolution to 1080p (1920x1080). However, I do have this option on Ubuntu and it works perfectly.
I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xr … esolutions and did what it says. Here's my script to change the resolution:
xrandr --newmode 1080p 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode eDP1 1080p
xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1080p
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.0
It worked for a while, but a few months ago, it stopped working. When I run this script, the screen would blink twice, and go back to 3200x1800. I ran the script with `journalctl -f` on, and here's what's in my logs:
Mar 21 11:45:42 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): resizing framebuffer to 1920x1080
Mar 21 11:45:42 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on eDP1 using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
Mar 21 11:45:43 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): resizing framebuffer to 3200x1800
Mar 21 11:45:43 sargas gdm-Xorg-:0[303]: (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on eDP1 using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none
You can see it switched right back to 3200x1800. I don't see any information in other logs such as the X logs. Any idea how I go about debugging it? I know it's a supported resolution since I can change to it under Ubuntu and it used to work under Arch.
Thanks in advance!

My sysadmin skills are rusty. I'm not sure how to see how it was mounted. I selected it from the vm's Devices menu and it gets mounted under /media.
-r-xr-xr-x 1 pnosko root 2825675 Jun 25 10:00 VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

It is executable, and I believe a ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run runs it, and yes, by "points to" I meant the first line in the script. So I'm not sure why I have to invoke it as */bin/sh* ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run to get it to run successfully.
I'm obviously beyond this, but if you have an answer it would satisfy a bit of curiosity.
After installing the additions, I can still only run at 1600x1200. I can live with this. I suspect it's a VirtualBox limitation since I can only give 128mb to video memory. After the GUI oracle11g database install, ssh is all I need anyway.
Thanks all.

Cannot change screen resolution on an Ultra 5 using m64config

I have an Ultra 5 with Solaris 2.6 connected to a Xerox XR6-19Dw 19" widescreen monitor with 1440x900 pixels. This workstation was set up a long time ago, so I do not know exactly how it has been set up. The screen resolution is set to 1280x1024x60 and it looks very blurry due to the mismatch between LCD pixels and the resolution setting. First I tried m64config -res 1440x900x76 try. This just turns the screen all white, luckily it reverts to the old setting after 10 seconds. Then just for fun I tried m64config -res 1280x1024x60. This also turned the screen all white. I have heard there is also a way to set the screen resolution using the boot prom, but that this is not necessary because m64config should work. It is very important that I do not mess up this workstation, but the eyestrain is a big problem. Is there a safe way to fix this?

Get a different monitor. Use one that is far less capable and has an old-style 4:3 screen ratio (not a wide screen).
The integrated graphics of the Ultra5/Ultra10 platform has only 4MB of frame buffer RAM and defaults to Sun's screen output of 1152x900 at 66Hz refresh. In fact, very early Ultra 5 systems had only 2MB of frame buffer RAM for the integrated graphics. The hardware is incapable of providing anything like what you are asking for.
If you don't care about color depth, the 1280x1024 resolution you currently see is the highest you're going to get. There is absolutely no chance for any wide-screen settings. If you ever hope for 24bit color, you will have to go down to the 1152x900 setting or more probably down to 1024x768.
You're system is a design from 1997 that first shipped to paying customers in 1998.
I think you are hoping for too much out of that dinosaur.

[Solved] Set Screen Resolution in Openbox

Is there a utility to set the screen resolution in Openbox?
Last edited by Wintervenom (2008-09-26 07:43:03)

You can make an Openbox submenu with various xrandr settings.
Like so:
<menu id="res-menu" label="Resolution">
<separator label="Resolution"/>
<item label="1280x1024">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xrandr -s 1280x1024
</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item label="1024x768">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xrandr -s 1024x768
</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item label="800x600">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xrandr -s 800x600
</execute>
</action>
</item>
Of course, you need to have those modes defined in xorg.conf.
