How to get 16:9 resolutions when using DVI to Video Adapter?

I just plugged my new Intel Mac Mini into a 16:9 widescreen TV with the Apple DVI to Video Adaptor (PAL Video version).
It only offers me:
640x480
720x480
720x576
800x600
1024x768
(all interlaced)
I do get a choice of 50hz (PAL) or 60hz (NTSC).
However, I don't get the widescreen options I've seen in some Apple screenshots.
I'm plugging it into a PAL TV via an s-video cable.
I intend later to plug it into a larger 42" plasma with same cable, but wanted to test it on this TV first.
More info:
I noticed, when I bought the "DVI to Video Adapter" that there were NTSC and PAL version. Both seem to do PAL though.
Any help on this most appreciated.

Concerning your question, "if only i knew the the correct entries for a custom displayconfig x timing," I think I can answer that one for you.
It sounds like you have other Macs at your disposal that are correctly driving the TV you are trying to drive with the Intel mini. In that case, install DisplayConfigX on one of those computers and while it is running the TV at the desired resolution, click on the "Card" tab in DCX and then click on the "+" symbol at the bottom right corner. This will open a window in DCX titled "Resolution details" and you will see all the detailed information of the timing you need to enter into DCX on the Intel mini.

Choppy Video Out when using DVI to Video Adapter

Hi, I just bought the "Apple DVI to Video Adapter", plugged an s-video cable between the adapter and my tv, and then connected the adapter to my computer. The TV immediately recognized the computer, the resolution of my computer display immediately changed to a lower one, I launched DVD player and put a disc in. I was really happy with my new Adapter!
But then, I noticed that the video in the TV was choppy, not all the time, but sometimes throughout the movie... The funny thing is that the video in the computer display is not choppy, just in the TV... I quit all applications in my mac, but that didn't help....
Any help would be really appreciated!
I have one of the newer 15" MacBook Pro's, with 4GB of RAM, and 2.5 GHZ processor.
Thank you very much for your time,
Daniel Vogel

Black & white screen using DVI-to-Video adapter

I've got a strange problem. I'm connecting my MacBook Pro to a Sony TV using Apple's DVI to Video adapter and a composite video cable.
As soon as I make the connection, I see the Mac's screen appearing on my TV, but it is in black & white! And it flickers a little every few seconds. The only way to get to a colour screen seems to be to re-boot the MacBook. It's quite annoying.
Previously, I've always had a colour picture come up immediately. The problem started to crop up right around the time I installed Snow Leopard, in fact, although I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence or not. And I don't think it's related to my TV. Any thoughts?

same problem here... first time i plug it in after a reboot it's in color. when you disconnect it and try again later it'll be in black and white and there's nothing you can do to fix the problem. only choice you have is to reboot your computer. as you can imagine, having to reboot the computer every time you want to use the adapter is REALLY annoying

How to get a report "closed" when using the ReportViewerBean

I read the article /people/ted.ueda/blog/2008/12/20/crystal-reports-for-eclipse--ensuring-report-cleanup from Ted Ueda regarding cleaning up reports for the RAS server. However, I'm trying to figure out how to get this accomplished for a thick client accessing a local rpt file and then displaying that file using the ReportViewerBean. I can't seem to get the report closed. I tried the dispose() techniqe from the article, but with no success.
My basic process is:
1) Press button on main frame to open and set up report
2) Pass open report (via ReportClientDocument) object to the viewer frame class (which views report in separate window using ReportViewerBean)
3) Close viewer window when done, destroy ReportVieweBean and close ReportClientDocument
4) Press button again on main frame later to view report
If I set up the report but skip the step of sending the report to the viewer frame, ReportClientDocument.isOpen() will go from true to false after I execute just the ReportDocumentClient.close() command. However, if open the viewer frame, I cannot get the report closed.
In the window closing event for my viewer window I have:
public void quit() {
            try {
                CrystalReportViewer crv1 = new CrystalReportViewer();
                crv1.setReportSource(reportClientDoc.getReportSource());
                reportViewer.destroy(); //this is a ReportViewerBean
                reportClientDoc.close(); //this is a ReportClientDoc
                crv1.dispose();
                //the following is always true
                System.out.println("ReportClientDoc.isOpen: " + reportClientDoc.isOpen());
                this.dispose();
            catch(ReportSDKException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            catch(ReportSDKExceptionBase ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();

How to get to outlook express when using firefox

new to firefox i do not see a tab to access my email in outlook express when using fire fox

http://www.webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html <br />
The GetMail extension provides a '''button''' for opening your email program. Make sure you read the instructions for setting GM Options for Outlook Express, as the default setting in GM is for Gmail.
Also, you need to read this for setting up Firefox to use Outlook Express for "Send Mail" buttons on web pages or "Send Link" from within Firefox. Firefox also defaults to Gmail. <br />

How to get the log information when using a class?

Hi All,
I have a simple question, which I don't know how to solve. I am using org.apache.commons.logging.Log and LogFactory to do some logging. A typical situation is exemplified in the following code snippet.
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
class LogClass {
    private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(AClass.class);
    public void logit(){
        LOG.debug("This is the debugging log.");
public class AClass{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LogClass l=new LogClass();
        l.logit();
}But this way, I do not get the log information from the class LogClass. Could anybody please help?
Many thanks.

...configuration in log4j.xml or log4j.properties.And far as I recall you need one of those two also. If there is no config then there is no output.I thought it used some default config if no file is present, but I could be mistaken. Either way, it adds to the possible problems that the OP could be having, any of which are consistent with his rather vague question.
1) He's passing the wrong class to the LogFactory, and hence getting a logger with the wrong name, so he's seeing a different name than he expects in the output that's being produced.
2) His config file does not contain the proper format to include the actual classname, independent of the logger's name, so he's missing a piece of desired information in each line of the output that's being produced.
3) His config file indicates a threshold that's less verbose than the level at which his code is logging, so no output is present when he wants it.
4) His config file is missing (or not where it's expected to be), so no output is being produced at all.
5) His config file is missing (or not where it's expected to be), so a default level or format is being produced, effectively the equivalent of one of the misconfigurations described in #2 and #3.
Since the OP seems to have vanished, we may never know.

How to get a "blank" answer when using "if" statements in a table

I'm using a table for an invoice where an item is ordered, but more may be shipped than ordered. I have the formcalc expression figured out where I can get a 0 in the "backordered" column if the amount shipped is more than the item ordered, but I can't get rid of the 0 in the rest of the backordered column when there isn't any information in the "ordered" and "shipped" columns. Trying to get that column to be blank if there is no shipping or ordering information.
So far this is working for the math part. Not sure how to write a "blank" into the calculation
Sum(ordered-shipped)
if (Sum(ordered-shipped)>0)
then backordered=Sum(ordered-shipped)
elseif (Sum(ordered-shipped)<0)
then backordered=0
endif
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm still getting a 0 in all the backordered columns when I'd like them to be empty. The form has more rows than I will be using, so when there is no information in the shipped and ordered row, I'd like the backordered row to be empty/blank. I've tried writing this at the end of my formula
elseif ordered=null and shipped=null
then backordered=null(but I really want it to be blank)
or elseif Table1.Row1.ordered=null and Table1.Row1.shipped=null
then Table1.Row1.backordered=null
And yes, backordered is a numeric field.
Any more advice? Thanks!

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
Hi,
I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET          = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     = 10.2.0.1.0
I do generate it in this matter :
declare
xmldoc CLOB;
ctx number ;
utl_file.file_type;
begin
-- generate fom xml-view :
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
-- create xml-file:
xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
-- put data to host-file:
vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
end ;
maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
How can this solved ?
Thank you
Norbert

Marco,
I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
that works good,
but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0
-- test:
create table nh_test ( s0 number, s1 varchar2(20) ) ;

insert into nh_test (select 2,'straße' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 3,'mäckie' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 4,'euro_€' from dual );
commit;
select * from nh_test ;
S0     S1

open rc FOR SELECT * FROM ( SELECT s0,s1 from nh_test );
dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file( xmltype( rc ).getclobval( ) , 'XML_EXPORT_DIR','my_xml_file.xml');
end;
( its the same when using output with DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE )
open in xmlSpy is:

I need to get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient and Numbers will only give me whole integers which is useless since most items will be less than 1. How can I change this?

How do I get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient? It only gives me whole integers. Most of the results will be less than 1 so I need 2 decimal places

the quotient function returns only whole number portion of the dividing two numbers. If you want the actual decimal value use the divide operator. you enter this as:
A/B
if the numerator is in A1 and the denominator is in B1 you can enter the formula like this:
=A1/B1

How to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation

We have a custom program which will add / delete attributes (In transaction PPOSA_BBP). It is working fine for users which were assigned with CP relation But it fails for users which doesnu2019t have CP relation (since we are getting the position of users form HRP1001 then we are retrieving the existing attributes based on the position after that updating the attributes) as we are getting the position from HRP1001 it fails for users were no CP relation.
Help us how to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation. Suggest us any function module or how to query the HRP1001 or some other table if exists

Hi Paul,
Have a look at these tables.
Using table BUT000 the central business partner data are stored, f.e. partner type, partner names, partner number, partner guid, person number, etc. In table BUTBKK the bank data to a business partner are stored.
Central business partner address data
The table ADRC is used for the address of a business partner. Table BUT020 links the business partner number with the address number. Using table BUT021 several addresses to a business partner with different usages (modes), f.e. correspondence or delivery address, can be stored. The personal data of a business partner person are stored with key person number in table ADRP. The person number is assignd to a business partner person in table BUT000. Communication data of business partners as e-mail, telephone, fax, etc. are stored in the tables ADDR1 u2013 ADDR12. The business address of a contact person or an employee consists of the organization address (company resp. org.-unit) and of an address addition, which describes f.e. a building, a room number, etc. The address addition is stored in table ADCP and is identified by the keys address number of the organization address and person number.
Relationships between business partners
Table BUT050 contains the relationships between a business partner organization and a business partner person using relation types. The relation types are defined in table TBZ9, f.e. the relation type u2018has employeeu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR010u2019, the relation type u2018has contact personu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR001u2019. Table BUT051 stores communication data of a contact person relationship (compare to table ADCP). Table BUT052 stores several address numbers to one business partner relationship (including a standard flag).
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew
