1680 x1050 external monitor on T500 does not work

Dear all, I have a T500 running XP professional and a Philips external monitor 220BW8plus, but when I set the screen resolution to the screen's native resolution my screen gets compressed with 2 black areas on the side. I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked. Now I'm forced to work at 1400 by 1050.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Erik
Solved!

Thanks for that suggestion, but I've tried that and as soon as I apply that change, the screen gets compressed with big black bars on the side.
It doesn't matter if I switch to single display, dual clone, dual extended, without or with docking station. I've updated to the latest software drivers etc, etc.
Is it a problem of the T500 with this brand and type of screen (Philips 220BW8CS1/00)?
Even our IT department is not able to solve the problem. They suggest I'd buy a different screen

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

External Monitoring with MXO2 Mini not working

OK, I chose the Matrox 1080i60 Sequence Preset. And then I import and use AVCINTRA P2 footage. When I put it into the sequence...I see the clips on the timeline, but nothing in the Program monitor, nor my external monitor. I press play...nothing happens. The footage works fine in an AVCIntra sequence...but not a Matrox MXO2 Mini sequence preset. Any idea why?

Set up Element 10 as external editor in Lightroom 3, it does not work. What's wrong?

I am using Lightroom 3. Just bought the Element 10 and set it up in Lightroom as external editor. It does not work at all. What's wrong?

Make sure you are linking to the application and not a shortcut. If using Mac OSX you may need to reveal hidden folders.

Installed Mountain Lion on 11" MacBook Air last Friday night. Now system does not appear to work in Clamshell mode, as it won't wake or connect to external monitor.

Good evening.
I am seriously in need of some help with a problem with my qosmio F30.
After I include, occurs:
1. On the screen there are thin white strips. But it continues to be loaded.
2. There is a window of loading Windows XP.
3. After that the screen becomes black and the computer more shows nothing.
I have made the following:
1. Has loaded a safe mode.
2. Has disconnected video the device. (Nvidia GF 7600).
3. And the computer was loaded from video by the device - standard.
4. After inclusion of video of the device and updating of options of the screen, the problem appears again.
5. Driver updatings has not helped.
In what there can be a problem? What can I make?
Kind regards.
P.S. Excuse for my English(
upd.
I esteemed a forum and have found a lot of interesting about a similar problem.
- White strips on the screen appear at loading XP. They are absent on the Toshiba splash screen.
- At connection external monitors the problem does not disappear.

hi Alexrus,
since windows is loading correctly as you said the problem seems to be grafics related.
so lets see what we have:
- broken grafics board > i think this is it
- broken lcd > i dont think because lights are on and you can still see anything
- bad wires > the failure should only exist in a special point of oppening of the lid > no
- a bad bios > there are always more problems if your bios is no good > no
i think this is curable by changing hardware means grafics board.
to be sure see a servicepartner and ask for assistance.

Secondary monitor does not work after OS X install

My secondary monitor does not work well after OS X install. The image on my secondary monitor is different even the screen svaer image is different and the mouse can not be seen.

Try the easy thing first - NVRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that does not work, post back with more info, including the version of Mac OS you are running. How is the external monitor connected, did it ever work, and from what OS X to what was the "OS X install" in your title?

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
Regards

Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result...

From the last 10 days the HAL auto-mount with ntfs-3g file system of my external hard drive does not woks.
But the manual mount procedure with the command mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb* /mnt/XYZ works.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

External USB keyboard does not work with T60 after BIOS upgrade

External USB keyboard does not work properly with T60 after 2.26-1.07 BIOS upgrade.
It does the same with or without the docking station.
Anyone else bumped into this problem yet?
Has someone found any fixes for this?

Hi and welcome the forum!
Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.
v2.26 is supposed to fix the issue according to lenovo:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63024

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,
P. Dreadie

My Eye Dropper STILL does not work in CS5 while using Lion with one monitor. How can i fix this?!?

Hello everyone!
This is my first post because i have grown very disgruntled at the fact that my eye dropper does not work my Premiere CS5. I would use the Ultra Key a lot but now I obviously can not really use it too well because of no eye dropper. I saw that this problem existed after the Lion update but this really should have been fixed by now. I am using only one monitor also. Is there a way to fix this or is this still known to be broken? I paid good money for CS5 and would be very upset if the only way around this is to pay MORE money to upgrade to CS5.5. Thanks.

Thanks for the response Stephen! I find this very bad on Adobe's part though if they do not feel obligated to fix CS5 for Lion. Eye dropper is a major part of Premiere and i am going to be very dissapointed if they do not fix that. With the amount of money the Suite costs, they definitly should make sure it runs well for quite a few years. I would expect a copy of CS4 to be able to work too. If they do not fix CS5 all because the OS has changed basically tells me that every 2 years or so, they stop caring about their product.
Sorry i sound so bitter about this but it has really hurt my workflow. Ultra key is great and something that FCP does not have so it has the edge in that respect, but now i can not even properly use it. I have to go into After Effects with the same clip, use that eyedropper to get the correct color # and then copy and paste the # into Ultra Key in Premiere which is very very annoying and slows down my system quite a bit.
So basically, they are probably not going to ever fix this? Thanks again
