GeForce FX 5200 and Dell 2405FPW Display Rotation

When I first got this Dell display I rotated the screen just to try it out and did it agian a couple weeks later to show off to a friend. I forgot how I did it but I guess I checked a box in the display preferences and I think I was on Mac OS X 10.4.5 at the time.
Now I really could have used this feature on a job but when I went to change the rotation the check box is no longer there. When/why was this feature removed. I know it was supported because I saw it with my own eyes but apparently not any more. My system profiler does not list it as capable of rotating the display.
Is there a workaround?
G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Yes, I am sure it's the same hardware (unless someone snuck into my office and made a switch) Musta been a full moon or something but at least I have a witness.
So what would be the cheapest VC upgrade that would permanantly reinstate the rotation.
Thanks for your imput

GeForce FX 5200 and Dell 20" 2005FPW - not recognized

Hello,
I just got a dell monitor figuring that my computer could support it as it's the same as the apple display. It works with my powerbook - recognized by name, but that's an ati card. With the G5, it works in the VGA, but not at the correct resolution. it won't go to 1600 and there is no 1620 X 1050.
When the dvi cable is connected, the self test dissapears, but the monitor just goes to sleep.
I have the 64mb card....maximum res is 1900+. What's the deal? PC users can force the resolution with a utility. Am I stuck buying a new card for my machine??
thanks for any help.

Sam,
Don't waste your money. Your GeForce FX 5200 will run your Dell. In fact, I'm writing to you with my Dell 2005FPW monitor, running on my GeForce FX 5200. In this discussion group, I saw a suggestion to zap (reset) the PRAM. It worked for me.
Using the monitor that does work, zap your PRAM. When you zap your PRAM, as the G5 instruction manual says, release the 4 keys after the second chime. Then, you must go in and reselect, thru System Preferences, your Mac HD as the boot-up drive. Your manual says all this. ShutDown.
After I did all that, I reconnected my Dell, started up, & VOILA! Not only that, but when I went into System Preferences->Displays, I saw the Dell's 1680x1050 resolution as the selected resolution, so the GeForce seems to configure itself to anticipated device resolutions.
However, reading other threads in this group in trying to solve my problem, I saw that zapping PRAM doesn't always work. If it doesn't work for you, I suggest you go thru all the threads that seem to apply to your problem, because other considerations (not necessarily solutions) are offered.

G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw don't work together

I purchased both (G5 Quad (Geforce 6600) and Dell 2405fpw) brand-new a few days ago.
When I connect the display using the supplied DVI->VGA cable, the display works. When I connect them using (about any type of) DVI-D cable, I get no picture. The dell screen just stays in stand-by mode. BUT it gets detected (I can see this when I connect a second screen). And the screen show a test image when I disconnect it from the mac, so there's at least SOMETHING happening...
What is wrong here?
I am first-time Mac user and on edge to go to the PC/Unix world again, without ever looking back to apple-land, because of this, as it is SERIOUSLY SCREWING UP christmas for us this year.
Thanks for your help.

Actually ``detect displays'' found the screen, that was what I meant in my first post.
The issue is kinda solved now, the DVI-Port of the ``brand-new'' display, which was delivered directly from the Dell factory in Limerick, is non-functional.
I tried it with a different setup (PC) and see the same symptoms, which lead me to this conclusion. I will get a full refund and possibly buy a 3007WFP if the price is decent.
It should work with a Geforce 6600 - even at 2560x1600.
Thanks,

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 compatible with 23" display ?

Hi,
I would like to know if my graphic card is compatible with a 23" apple display ?
I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with 128Mo, this card has a PCI connexion,
but I am not sure if my card could support a cinema display at 1900x1200 ?
Does anyone have an idea ?
Is there a list somewhere giving compatble graphic card ?
The nvidia site does not say a word about cinema display !
Thanks for the answers,
Ben
no Mac .. V. sad indeed ! Other OS linux and xp user

Apple doesn't make compatibility information known
for non-Apple systems.
But yes, they do.
Here is the list of tested video cards for the ACDs:

I highly recommend the Quadro cards; they are fantastic.

GeForce FX 5200 and Windows ME

I have a machine that dual boots into Windows ME. I just installed an MSI GeForce FX 5200 graphics card and an MSI NForce2 board. I have installed the NForce 2.03 drivers, but when I install the GeForce 43.45 or 44.03 Windows ME drivers, the system either shuts down automatically at the beginning of the Windows startup, or it just hangs. I have done everything I can think of regarding the IRQs, etc. Windows ME works OK when the GeForce drivers are uninstalled - it boots up, but only 8bit graphics. Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 9 work fine on this same machine. Are there problems with the newer GeForce drivers for Windows ME?? Any help would be appreciated. ?( ?(

It's not the sharing that's causing your problems guys, go back to 41.09 Nvidia drivers and it should work fine. There are issues with the newer drivers that I've seen out there...give it a try and let us know how it works.
Make sure to clean ALL old drivers off of your system first so that you aren't mixing them. Use Drivecleaner or something similar to clean them off or do it manually, then reinstall the new drivers. I think gfilliti has posted a link to Drivecleaner somewhere here in the forum so do a search for it.

Mac Mini with Dell 2405FPW

Can anyone advise me on how to get a Dell 2405FPW display to work with a Mac Mini? It works fine with 1600 x 1050 resolution, but I cannot up to the native 1920 x 1200 resolution without getting vertical lines across the display. I thought it may have been a refresh rate problem, but the display window is set at 60Hz and won't allow any changes. Any suggestions?
Mac Mini Intel Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dell 2405FPW

Are you connected with a DVI cable? (Don't even know if your monitor has a VGA.)
The following thread suggests that resetting the PRAM might be a fix:

BTW searching for "dell 2405fpw" in these forums finds others with this problem. And some who don't have it.

Problems tv out geforce fx 5200?

I have one msi geforce fx 5200 and installs controllers 44,03 and the exit of TV is seen in black and white, but unistall the controllers and leaves those of win xp and if they appear the colors in the TV, it seems that they are the controllers? ?( ?(

Gente ... yo me compre una MSI fx 5200 hace 40 dias y desde entonces estoy intentando solucionar el problema...
PARA QUE QUEDE CLARO el problema se da cuando usamos el adaptador de s-video a RCA que trae la placa .... en combinacion con el uso de los drivers de Nvidia o MSI
si tenemos windows con drivers genericos o Linux con drivers genericos se puede ver a colores pero no aprovechamos la placa ya que el driver generico no nos da todas las ventajas que la placa tiene...
y si instalamos los drivers OFICIALES (sean los de Nvidia 44.03 o Los MSI nvidia 44.03) tanto en windows como en linux tenemos que ver blanco y negro ...
y para explicar lo que pasa QUE ES CULPA DEL DRIVER pongo de referencia esta pagina
http://www.coloredhome.com/video/conectores_senales_cables.htm
el tema seria asi
con los drivers estandar la placa usa el pin 3 de la ficha S-video para enviar la senal de RCA, pero cuando instalas los drivers de Nvidia deja de usar el pin 3 ... entonces tenes que modificar el cable adaptador o usar un cable de S-video/S-video siempre que el tele tenga esa entrada (lo cual no es mi caso)
teniendo de referencia la pagina que puse seria que con los drivers estandar estamos en la opcion 4 y cuando usamos los drivers de nvidia pasamos a la opcion 7, y para solucionar el problema tendriamos que hacer lo de la opcion 9 (bastante complicado)... por eso tenemos EXIGIR A LA GENTE DE MSI que corrigan el driver o nos den sin cargo un nuevo adaptador de S/video a RCA ya que en el manual dicen que esta caracteristica funciona PERO ES MENTIRA.........

GeForce FX 5200 (Fix or Not a Concern)

I am just wondering if Apple Inc. is going to do something about the GeForce FX 5200 graphics cards not displaying the semi-transparent menu bar? Apparently this is still not displayed correctly after 10.5.1 even though this was clearly an advertised Leopard feature.
Apple Inc., are you working on a update for us NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 owners, or are we forced to have less than the mentioned features advertised for Leopard?

Richard, I'm right with you.
It's an advertised feature, and a fundamental part of Leopard's new UI, and nowhere did Apple say prior to the release of Leopard what the required graphics cards are.
Further, I do have a problem with the fact that the GeForce FX 5200 came on my iMac G5, which cost me $3000 in January of 2005, while computers (e.g. some iBooks, for instance) that cost half that, that were also in some cases even replaced before the iMac G5's debut, support this feature.
And another thing: let's assume for the sake of argument that the menu bar hinges on support for what has the highest minimum requirements: Quartz GL. We all know the GeForce FX fits the requirements for Core Image. But in fact, it fits the requirements for Quartz GL also, since when it was known as Quartz 2D Extreme in Tiger (though in disabled form), as you'll find all over the Web, was supported on Radeon 9600 or better or the GeForce FX or better.
So the fact that Quartz GL is not supported on this card in Leopard seems rather odd. Keep in mind the initial support doc said all Core Image capable cards will do the effect. The new support doc specifically excludes the GFX 5200; it "may" not have the necessary OpenGL capabilities. What is "may"?
I think the whole thing has been mishandled.

MS-6340M /GeForce FX 5200 problem??? Help!

I just bought the MS-6340 motherboard with Athlon 1.1 gig processor. I also bought the new Gainward 660/Pro nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128MB Video Card. THe Card is a 8X AGP and the motherboard has a 4X AGP slot.
My problem is that my computer completely freezes up all the time with that card in. I've put older cards in and the PC runs fine. I've currently have Windows XP, but I started out installing WIndows ME and 2000, and it locked up on them all. I have the latest 44.03 nVidia drivers installed. I also have the latest 4.7 BIOS installed for the motherboard.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Dell Widescreen Displays and GeForce FX 5200

Hi everyone,
I have a PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz with the original GeForce 5200 that came in it.
I'm shopping around for a replacement monitor and am considering Dell's 20.1" wide model (2005FPW).
Does anybody have any experience with this combination? I see that some have had problems with the DVI connector on the Dell displays. I also can't find anything that assures me that my video card is capable of displaying at the Dell's native 1680x1050 resolution.
Any help or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid the high price of the Apple displays.
PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It's with some comfort that others have the same problem I do, getting my Dell 2005fpw to interface with my GeForce FX 5200 on my PowerPC G5,running OS 10.3.9. I've seen elsewhere (can't remember where) Mac users raving about their Dell monitors. They know something I don't, I guess, and that's why I'm in this discussion.
I wonder how users of the Apple Cinema 20" are able to interface with the GeForce 5200, when the Cinema requires the same 1680x1050 resolution as the Dell. I've accessed the nVIDIA site to download an update, but no luck. Think I'll go back in & look at the resolutions available on the GeForce 5200.

Solaris10/amd64 and Xorg display rotation using Nvidia 5200 driver

Hello,
in both XFree86 and in Xorg X11 implementations, the driver for Nvidia cards include support for display rotation which is quite nice feature having display which support it. I like it in linux and also would like to give it a try in Solaris10/amd64 which I'm tryint to use as a developer system now, but unfortunately I'm not able to find out where the configuration file(s) for bundled Xorg resides, or at least from looking into "top" utility I see process Xorg which I assume is Xorg's X server. My other assumptions are that if using Xorg, then Sun also uses Xorg's drivers and also Xorg's configuration -- if this is not true, please correct me.
Thanks!
Karel

The Xorg configuration file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf but does not exist by default, instead autoconfiguring on startup. To generate a configuration file, do a command line login as root and run /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure.

20" Apple Cinema LCD Display and GeForce FX 5200

Hi,
My video card is GeForce FX 5200. I want to upgrade my monitor (finally!) to 20" Cinema Display. Do I need to upgrade my video/graphic card too? If so, what would be your recommendations?
Thanks!

Hi-
The GeForce FX 5200 will support the 20" Cinema Display.
If you want to upgrade the 8x AGP graphics in your G5 (what model G5?), the ATI Radeon 9600 PC & Mac version would be a good upgrade from the 5200:
