ATI Display settings not adjustable

Hello again,
I purchased a new Monitor and also purchase the DVI to VGA adapter from the apple store. Now i would like to use 1 monitor and have 2 machines hooked up on a KVM switch. My true issue is i cannot adjust the 19" Veiwsonic. Below are the settings and you will see that my old one is working just fine, but the new monitor won't adjust from the 640 x 480 and i think i need somewhere in the 1900x1400 range.

I'm starting to think my the card is some how been damaged
I am inclined to agree.
You will need to look on eBay for a Mac compatible graphics card.
Retail sites that have Mac compatible cards are few, and they are scary expensive.
Besides, no one makes new cards any more. All OEM cards are used.
Here's how G5 options stack up:

On eBay, the same Apple OEM 9600 runs about $150.
Mac compatible Radeon 9800 Pro cards run from $100.
An OEM Geforce 6800 GT or Ultra is over $200.

  • Safe mode display settings not 'sticking' after restart?

    Hi
    I used a display setting not supported by my Mac mini and consequently had a 'out of signal' error on my monitor and restarted in safe mode, logged in and altered the settings.
    When I restart the display settings do not 'stick' and I get the same error. How do I get the settings to stick? Have tried logging in as administrator and user with no joy!
    Thanks Nigel

    Hmm. Maybe that combination of changing resolution in Safe mode and resetting PRAM have a combined effect of some kind? Worth remembering for the future. Thanks for posting.

  • Folder Display Settings Not Saving

    Searched forums with no luck, anyone run into this problem?
    I have a user who likes to set up folders in his GroupWise 2012 client (on Windows XP) to show To and From columns as the first two columns in his folder view. When he changes a folder and saves the changes in the Properties/Display/Custom Settings, everything looks fine. The next day when he gets into his client and goes to the folder he changed, the changes (adding the To/From columns) are gone. The really strange thing is they are only gone "most of the time", at other times the changes stick and do not have to be redone. User has found nothing consistent about why changes are sometimes forgotten and other times remembered.
    Thanks ahead for any ideas.

    When saving the changes, instead of taking the default name of <Folder
    Custom Settings> try changing the name to something like <Folder Custom
    Settings2>. While I haven't seen this with the 2012 client, I have
    seen it with GW8 and earlier and usually saving the display settings
    with a different name would get the changes to "stick."
    Also if this is just the 2012 client and not 2012 SP1, you could try
    upgrading to the SP1 client.

  • 6303i - display settings not saved!

    Hello - I have updated my 6303i to the latest firmware from the nokia site.
    Everything works fine but now any chance I make to my display settings (e.g. wallpaper) are not saved, i.e. the change is being populated until the next reboot of the device. Once I rebooted the device, all my display settings changes are lost and e.g. I am back with a device with no wallpaper.
    Any idea what is going on?
    thanks

    The problem came back a while after installing 10.10.2.
    However, it does seem to have been fixed by 10.10.3.  Hooray.

  • Hide Display Settings not applied in User GPO

    Hello,
    I am trying to hide the display settings via a GPO so folks can't change the resolution. I set the "Disable the Display Control Panel" setting to enable, but users can still go to the Control Panel and change the display settings. Other parts of
    the GPO are applying, like the Ctrl+Alt+Del settings. The GPO has the loopback function set to replace. From my understanding, that should force all user settings in that GPO on everyone who logs into the computer, whether they are in that OU or not.
    Some settings apply, just not the Display settings. Is there something else I have to enable to get that working?
    Thanks

    Hi Jason,
    It's been a while. How is it going? If it still doesn't work out, we can run command
    gpresult/h report.html to collect group policy result to check this. Note: to collect computer part group policy settings, we need to run the command with administrative privileges.

  • Display settings not saving

    I have just bought a Touchsmart 14-n055sa and I'm having problems with linking my laptop to my tv using the HDMI lead. When I choose the "duplicate" option in display settings, I get a message saying that it is unable to save my settings. I have contacted Microsoft who have told me that I need to download some drivers, but I'm not sure which drivers to download. Anyone got any ideas??

  • Object-level display settings not working in CS5

    I can't change display settings at an object level in an InDesign document, if I want to change display settings it will only work at the document level. If I try to change at object-level nothing happens. This is on a high-spec Windows 7 64bit with Nvidia GeForce 470, with up-to-date software & drivers, running InDesign 7.0.2.

    Since I can't reproduce the problem here, at least so far in limited testing, I don't know where to point you or what might be affecting the frames in question. Can you copy a few of these frames onto a new page, verify that the problem still exists, then zip the page (you can delete the images, just leave the frames), and post it on a server someplace like YouSendIt.com, then post a link here?
    It might not be something that you can fix except by replacing the frames. If that's the case, it might be possible to script the replacement.
    Oh, I just thought of one other test. Have you tried cutting the image itself, using the direct select tool, and pasting into a new frame? that also will help isolate the problem as the frame.

  • Snow Leopard: Display settings not working anymore. DO NOT LOCALIZE

    Hello,
    the following message was posted in the MacBook Pro Display forums and i was suggested to write it here:
    I purchased a MacBox Set and upgraded from Tiger on a MacBook Pro 15" (2007). I did a clean install. That was two weeks ago.
    Today i went into System Preferences>Displays (not my first time there) and a window oppened by itself saying that the display setting was about to be changed and maybe certain software would not be showed properly in a resolution below 800X600 (sorry, that's my translation. I use a Spanish SO).
    After that, the resolution changed to 640X480 and the Display panel became useless. It's impossible to set any other resolution and on the refresh settins apears that message: <<do not localize>>. Under the Resolutions Field appears <<<DO NOT LOCALIZE>>> as well.
    I tryed:
    * Repair disk Permissions
    * Reset PRAM
    * Reset PMU
    * I did a hardware test (the long one). No problems found.
    I was not able to use the system disks (the ones that came with my computer) because the image on the screen appears completly distorted and i am not able to navigate through the menus. I was able to use Hardware Test because the buttons where showed in the middle of the screen.
    I tryed to use the Snow Leopard DVD, but the part of the welcome window in wich the buttons are was out of the screen and i had no chance to click on them.
    I have temporarily fixed that using a ten days trial version of SwitchRes X. Everything works fine now, but the Display preferences panel from MacOs stays "in coma". So i guess it's not a hardware problem, but a Snow Leopard Problem. If in ten days i don't find a fix for that, i'm gonna be forced to buy the program, a really good software, i have to say, but a software i shoulnd't need.
    After been able to recover my original resolution via SwitchRes X, I checked the disk and it was ok. I repaired it anyway. Back to my desktop, i checked the permisions and everything was fine except for this message:
    "Advertencia: el archivo SUID “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgen t” se ha modificado y no se reparará."
    I got this message since the first time i checked permissions and its well know by other users. It is supposed to be normal.
    Anyway, it didn't worked.
    I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

    "I was not able to use the system disks 'cos the image on the screen appears completly distorted and i am not able to navigate the menus."
    Never ran across that type of problem on Apple's message boards.
    "I have temporarily fixed that using a ten days trial version of SwitchRes X. Everything works fine now but the Display preferences panel from MacOs, wich stays "in coma"."
    In that case, are you now able to boot off your install DVD? If so, run the +"repair disk"+ option, when done boot back to desktop & run repair permissions.
    "So i guess it's not a hardware problem, but a Snow Leopard Problem."

  • B540P Display brightness not adjustable

    Hello,
    i have just bought the Lenovo B540P VDZ9EGE (i5, GT650M, Windows 8 64bit)) and i have a problem. I can not change the screen brightness, neither with touch on the button of the screen, nor in Windows 8. In Windows 8 it says: not available and I can not click on it. The screen brightness is always on the highest setting I think.  It would be nice, if you could help me. Thank you very much. I apologize for my english.

    hi BK86,
     If you have the IdeaCentre™ B540p (3363) with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT650M, can you try to :
    1. Update the display driver to GeForce 314.07 DriverVersion 314.07 - WHQL from the nvidia website.
    2. Run Windows Update to get the latest patch and bug fixes.
    After doing the steps above, try to press the brightness Up or Down button on the LCD panel
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Hope this helps.

  • 1080p 50 Hz display settings not appearing

    I have 1080i and 720p 50 Hz but not 1080p why???

    I'm able to confirm that the only option at 1080p is "1080p HD" on all my tv's, although the tv doesn't actually say what frequency it is using, the tv's themselves denote 60 Hz.
    I don't really know why this is, but have always assumed the tv manufacturers have catered for mainstream devices only such as blu-ray players etc which I'm not aware are available with 50 Hz output.
    It's more than likely that you aren't actually missing all that much and it isn't something that has concerned me all that much.
