Am i correct (CVT is broken!)

well over the past few days ive been spending alot of time getting a new display to operate under linux. the problem with it is this display REQUIRES 1366x768 ive seen other DFPs that have the same requirement or even a more exotic resolutions and the CVT utility is unable to calculate resolution for 1366x768 and rounded to 1368x768 and it didnt work with the panel so my solution was to explore the web and i found this website with tons of modelines so after 2.5 hours of trial and error i found a modeline that actually worked for this DFP and it was a 1366x768 resolution anyways this raises question to me about the CVT utility and if it can create resolutions such as this and it cannot it appears that it only generates resolutions that are multiples of eight therefor there are many resolutions that cannot be generated with it so im posing the point that the utility may need modification or rewriting not saying im right but just posing an theory and idea i have.

Nope, you're thinking of GTF (general timing formula). CVT (coordinated video timing) is meant for both CRT and DFP displays. However, it's still about analog signals (VGA), not digital ones (DVI). You're right that the correct modeline should come from the display's EDID. By the way, CRTs have an EDID too
@fenntech: Specifying your own modelines shouldn't be necessary, so the solution to your problem isn't hunting down random modelines, it's figuring out why the EDID isn't being read by the system. It is possible that your display doesn't have a valid EDID, but that's rare. Usually the problem is a flaky VGA cable or the nvidia proprietary driver being weird, but you haven't provided any info about your setup so it's impossible to tell where the issue is. The X log contains clues whether the EDID was read correctly.
BTW, sometimes the GPU or the display can only handle VGA resolutions that are multiples of 8, that's why CVT rounds to that. For example, our TV at home can do 1366x768 over digital connections, but 1360x768 over VGA. In contrast, an Asus display I have only has VGA input, but it can handle 1366x768 through it.

Links in old posts broken

I've been getting alerts from old threads where a poster complains about a post I made with a link and the link is broken. Here's an example. Finding back these posts hasn't been easy until I discovered the pattern. The original link in the post was:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2181939&SiteID=1
And it got altered, presumably during the forums site move to:
http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2181939&SiteID=1
But it should have been altered to:

Mapping the old PostID to the new Guid isn't exactly easy of course. But the link still works if I remove the "msdn." portion of the link. Could you please run a dbase update script that corrects all these broken links back to their original content. It shouldn't be hard considering that a link that contains "forums.msdn" and "PostID" is always broken.

Single object imported from Illustrator broken down into Graphic Frames

Whenever I try to copy and paste a gradient layer from frmo Illustrator, it appears correct- but is broken down into 4 uneven 'graphic fames' - when I resize, it gets allmessed up..

Bob, pulling in the gradient from Illy isn't working for me. I'm using ID 5.5 for Windows. I'm trying to paste in a button and it comes in as pieces and I cannot resize it properly (the gradient goes whacko). I tried just doing a simple box with a gradient so I could recreate the button, but the swatch does not appear in the panel. I tried changing the preferences and that just made it come in as a bitmap instead of a vector. What am I doing wrong?

A new line is not started

I created a report and a form using 'Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages' wizard. When I try to update a long character string data on the form, newlines were displayed correctly. But the string is nonbreaking on the report. Do I need to
add other setting? or is the workaround available???
Thanks and regards,
Rui

hey rui--
by "adjust your html", i simply meant that you should look at your page, think about the html that's being used, and adjust it as necessary to make your data wrap as desired. now that i'm pretty sure i understand your issue, i can tell you the adjustment. you're saying that your form shows your long column "correctly" with data broken up onto separate lines by carriage returns or linefeeds. when you display that same data in your report, those carriage returns ( chr(13) ) and/or linefeeds ( chr(10) ) aren't observed. that's because they don't mean much in regular html. two ways to approach this would be:
a) replace your carriage returns with explicit <br> tags to get the breaks that you want...
select test_id, replace(test_description,chr(13)) test_desc from my_table;
b) wrap your column with <pre> tags to preserve all the original formatting of your data...
select test_id, '<pre>'||test_description||'</pre>' test_desc from my_table;
...and you could, of course, do option B in your report row template if you'd like.

Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages

I have a view and i am using this to create a page as follows for insert/update/delete .
(1) create application from scratch
(2) on page 1 using wizard choice "Form on a Table with Report, 2 Pages"
(3) Follows the screens and create the 2 page where first page is a report and when i click on edit(in my case) it goes to next page for insert/update/delete.Everything like insert/update/delete works fine .
Now this view has say three columns
(1) element_type_id
(2) element_name
(3) yesnoflag
changing element_name and yesnoflag column is ok but then i need to have element_type_id corresponding to the element_name from some other table.
Question1
How should i get the element_type_id corresponding to the element_name .so when i create a new record it goes to page 2 and i can provide LOV for element_name and enter into yesnoflag, how can i get the element_type_id populated corresponding to the element_name entered.
Question2
Also in my application i have name element_type_id as primary key .I am not sure if thats a good idea or should i make element_name as primary key ?
please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

Time line corruption shows clips with title Black.

I have a 18GB movie that recently locked up and upon reopening all my clips have changed their name to "Black" and the "links" to my correct video seem broken. They are all in the Media folder but do not show in the timeline. I have tried to reimport the whole folder with no success. I also have looked at the XML project file and it appears to not have any corrupted code. the edits also appear to point to the correct clips.
Ideas?

Trying to access Music Store and iTunes shuts down...

I've been trying to open the Music Store for days with no luck. I get an error message "The exception Privileged instruction 0xc0000096 occurred in the application at location 0x1003527a" and when I click "ok" iTunes closes abruptly. Sometimes I don't even get the error message and iTunes just closes during the "Accessing Music Store" screen. This is very frustrating as I have done all the posted fixes from Apple. (disabled Norton, unistalled/reinstalled iTunes 6) It's not my ISP because another computer can access it from my wireless network. This came on suddenly with no apparent changes in my hardware/software configuration.(been working fine for 1 year)

hiya!
you've got a standard 32-bit version. the x64 version has an "x64" mentioned in that screen. for a little more info on that, see:
http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4040
i was checking, because the error message you were getting was very similar to one folks can get if they've got a problem with their QuickTime on an x64 PC. itunes needs a functioning QT to work correctly, and a broken QT can cause problems with viewing the Music Store too.
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.

if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?

FIXED IT, YEAH!!!! Do you have OS X and you can't get Flash Player to Install completely?

Hey all. I just figured this out on my own as no one at Adobe will release a playbook that gives proper instructions on this issue. If you are having issues with the application not installing all of the way, you have a permission issue on the the partition where your Yosemite OS is installed. Here is how you fix the issue that you are experiencing:
Open Disk Utility (press Command and the Space Bar, then type disk utility)
Locate your disk and the partition where your OS installed.
Select First Aid (in the right pane next to Erase and Restore)
Locate the button "Verify Disk Permissions" and click on it.
Wait, get some coffee and relax, this will all be over soon
When Verify Disk Permissions is complete, click on the button "Repair Disk Permissions"
Now grab breakfast, lunch or dinner and tell someone you love that you love them.
After your disk permissions have been repaired, close out Disk Utility
Open the FlashPlayer installation file and run the installation again.
Finally, whew... Enjoy your entertainment fare. You made it across the schism that Adobe loves to plague their loyal patrons with.
I hope this helps someone. Let me know if it worked or didn't; I am curious if you all will see the same success that I have realized.
Cheers & Many Regards,
Geoff

This works for most people and is the advice I usually give to Mac users that are having mysterious installer failures. We have enough of a population that everything that can go wrong will. Disk corruption is one of those inevitable things that happens, and it causes mysterious problems. The installer isn't doing anything complex -- it's basically a glorified unzip tool, so when simple operations like "write a couple files" fail, it's typically that we're making a completely standard call the operating system that should never fail, and it's failing -- either silently or with an error, just depending on what's going on.
For what it's worth, I actually correctly diagnosed a broken pin on a monitor cable today based on the description some funky intermittent video playback behavior, so we really *do* see everything on these forums.

How to reset or restore to factory settings A205-S4617 satelite

I have a A205-S4617 Satelite that I bought just over a year ago from Circuit City and I am having alot of problems with it . I think it would be easier and faster just to return it back to the way it was when I first bought it . I want it to be the way it was when it was new . It also seems not to be able to read a DVD oand it will not burn anything to a DVD . But i can use a CD in it just fine . I seems like either its not able to see a DVD and is not configured correctly or its broken . I have never tried to use the DVD until now so either way it was like this when it was new . I have the 2 Recovery and Applications /Drivers Satelite A200/A205 Home Premium disks and have tried to use the the way it says to ( hold down the C key when it boots up ) when i turn it on but this doesnt do anything . It deoesnt seem to see the DVD . And when I put a DVD in the drive it always says please insert a dick into the drive , it doesnt see the DVD . So how do I restore my laptop to the way it was when it was new . Randall

The DVD 'side' of the CD/DVD drive has probably failed, since you cannot boot from the recovery DVD nor read any DVD at all.
Since the recovery DVD must be run from the internal drive, your only option is to have the drive replaced.

Standalone iSight and Snow Leopard

I have a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard installed on it and an Apple Display that doesn't have a built-in camera, so I thought I would buy one of those iSight cameras (through Ebay) to be able to use it through Skype and iChat.
Could anyone please tell me whether a standalone iSight (1) would work on Snow Leopard, and (2) with the 800 firewire port (I have 400-to-800 adapter). Thank you.

Thank you for your responses. Sorry I couldn't get back to you any sooner.

So if I'm getting this right, not all of the iSight cameras work, ...
You are correct.
No broken iSight works. Your problem is how to find out whether one is broken before you buy it.
The issue for me is that external iSights are NOT rugged devices, and you have no idea how it was treated or used during its existence. Moreover, all external iSights are now old (by consumer electronics standards,) and they no longer covered by Apple Warranty.
Therefore, unless you can physically test or have an Apple Technician check any external iSight before you buy it, you are at the mercy of the seller if the one you buy does not work for you.
... only the ones with the updated firmware, is that so?
Not so.
Firmware Updates do NOT enable external iSight, they only "Improve" performance. Regardless of any Firewire iSight's Firmware (Product Revision) level, external iSight ought to function. If not, the iSight, cables, connections, your Mac, or your Mac's software that operates iSight requires service.
To test and troubleshoot any external iSight, you can use the suggestions in "How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional":
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
If let's say I get one with the old firmware will I able to update it through the Software Update ...?
Probably not with a Snow Leopard Mac.
If you decide to buy an external iSight, and if you need to apply the Firmware 1.0.3 updater but your Mac's Software Update... does not work, my suggestions on how to do it are at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084429&#10084429
And what does it mean “if you can find one that works?”
It means what the standard US English words say. As noted above, unless you or your Apple Technician can check a particular iSight, you do not know that it works.
What's UVC webcam?

I might look into other cameras, but ...
Any working UVC webcam can work for you. More features and quality cost more, so buy what is prudent for your budget and needs.
If you are interested in saving money and already have one, any Mac-compatible, Firewire-connected, mini-DV camcorder can function as your webcam.
What do you think?
In addition to my thoughts already posted here, see this user tip:

I agree with most of the comments and references there.
All I need it for is ... Skype...
For dedicated use with Skype, sort for the Macintosh-compatible webcams that Skype sells:

They should certainly work well with Skype, so you might want to consider one of those.
With your 10.6.x Mac, should you eventually decide to try some other webcam video things, many of the other apps listed in the following link can also work with the webcam you buy:

Flash pro cs6 fonts not working

I'm having problem with flash cs6 after I installed flash builder/game sdk.
It recognizes all my fonts but some of them are not visible and when I export they dont appear either.
I installed and uninstalled several times from the creative cloud and problem persists. I tried my flash cs4 and works correctly.
Attached is a screenshot.
Thanks,

After experiencing this issue myself, I did a Google search limited to today for Windows Font issues. This appears to be a widespread issue reported by several people in Adobe and other products (Quark, CorelDraw).
The culprit seems to be a Microsoft update delivered in last nights Windows updates:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2753842
This update appears to address vulnerabilities found in the parsing of OpenType and TrueType fonts (from the IT Professionals link on the page above).
Other than uninstalling this update, not sure how to correct all these "broken" fonts.
*UPDATE* - I can confirm that uninstalling this one update does restore the fonts that stopped working. Wonder if MS will provide a patch or they'll expect all these fonts to be update - yikes!

Users inbox blank in Outlook 2010 SP2 on all computers, but visible in OWA and Activesync

User uses Outlook 2010 SP2 and her inbox is blank. New profile, even new computer she's never logged into has the same issue. All mail is visible in her other folders in Outlook, in addition to in OWA and activesync clients. I've created a rule in OWA to
move all new mail that comes into her inbox into a new temporary folder in her mailbox, and that works as a temporary work around. outlook.exe /cleanviews and disabling all addins has no effect.
If I right click on the real inbox and click open in new window a message appears "cannot open the outlook window".
I thought maybe there was a corrupt message in her inbox so I moved everything from the last three weeks to a temporary folder through OWA, closed and reopened outlook on the client machine and same issue. The unread count is updating correctly on the broken
mailbox however.
Thoughts?

To narrow down this issue, I would like to confirm some information:
Whether this issue still happen when configuring the user's profile on other computers.
Running "outlook.exe /cleanviews" to reset views on the problematic computer has no effect.

Z3 compact freezes and reboots constantly with large music collection on sd card.

Hi
On adding my music collection(72GB) to the sd card via the usb cable, I've run into a pretty serious issue/bug with my z3 compact. This renders the phone useless. All is well as long as I never reboot/shutdown the phone after adding music. I've successfully used the walkman app for a number of days with the full music colletion present. Once the phone is shutdown, on restart it gets hot, battery starts to drain significantly( +- 10% in about 4min) and it then freezes and reboots constantly. I've tried a number of things to attempt to recover.
removing the sd card, leaving it out and restarting the phone
removing the music files from the sd card
factory reset but keeping the music files on the sd card
I've used mp3diags to scan my collection for broken files, there were some minor issues with id3 tags which I've corrected but no broken files.
None of these actions improved matters, the only solution seems to be to erase data from the sd card and factory reset the phone. Then add the files again. This is quite time consuming and very very frustrating.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Have a look at this post....sounds very much like what you are experiencing dont you think
