Anybody generally familiar with laptop monitor sync ranges?

After having been happy with arch linux on my desktop for almost 12 hours, I'm now configuring it for my laptop. I'm now working on my XFree86 configuration, and I've hit a snafu. I have no idea what the horizontal & vertical sync ranges ought to be. I never got any monitor documentation with my laptop, and the technical specifications provided by gateway (the manufacturer; not very OSS friendly hardware, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone getting a new computer) (on the other hand, the boxes are very pretty) are a little bit lacking.
Consequently, here is everything I can dig up. Is there anyone generally familiar with the kind of frequencies that modern laptop monitors can handle, who can give me a good idea of some values to use?
We've got:
15.0-inch active matrix (TFT) LCD color display
Maximum panel resolution: 1024 × 768
Maximum color depth: 32-bit (16.7 million colors)
LCD supported video modes: XGA
LCD maximum refresh rate: 60 Hz
Thanks!

my lcd-config looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry"
DisplaySize 305 230
HorizSync 28-95
Identifier "LCD"
ModelName "FlexView 1600X1200"
VendorName "IBM"
VertRefresh 52-82
# UseModes "Modes[0]"
ModeLine "1600x1200/60Hz" 162 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204
1250 +HSync +VSync
Option "DPMS
EndSection
but the data i got from the manual, so it's not guessing but knowing
you can try the refresh and sync rates i use if nobody answers specific for your machine --- i know this settings work on 4 different lcd's for sure and never heard that they made trouble
instead of the Modeline (i use), i suggest you to write modelines and then just include the Modes-section you wrote to the monitor section (the out-commented line i added)
would be better you get other replys specific on your hardware - mine is more general, sorry

Watching videos on external TV with laptop monitor off?

Hi,
I'd like to view some of my iTunes videos on an external TV but with my G4 Powerbook's monitor off. (Watching full screen videos in full screen mode on the laptop itself tends to produce intense heat and resulting fan noise.)
I connected the laptop to the TV with an s-video cable, and I can view windowed video in dual-monitor mode or full screen video in mirrored mode with both displays showing the same thing...
...but is there any way to just watch it on the TV with the laptop simply sending the video out and not displaying it locally?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, in the end, I hooked up an external USB mouse in addition to the s-video and power cables. That does allow the laptop to operate with the lid closed and display everything on the external monitor.
Alas, my hope that this would allow me to view iTunes videos without the heat and noise normally associated with full-screen viewing didn't pan out. Maybe time for an upgrade.

Anybody there familiar with Java Mail API ???? I need help

I have a problem using the MessageCount Listener in mail API... Problem is simple........... The Listener doesn't work at all...
Has anyone tried it out .. Please reply if u have so that i can present the real picture.... Please dont avoid me by giving links to tutorials... Believe me... i've tried a few of them but nothing seems to help me...

Hai pal,
I'm using a pop3 account.. Here i tried using the getmessagecount command... But it doesn't work.. Its showing the same count every time in spite of new messages arriving. The listener doesn't fire at all..
To get the folder show updated count, i have to close and reopen the folder. This itself makes the concept of message listeners quite vague... Do u have any further tips on this..

Whether samsung monitor SYNC Master B2230 is compatible to Mac mini

MAC MINI CONNECTED WITH SAMSUNG MONITOR SYNC MASTER B2230 TEXT IS BLURRY

Yes a Samsung B2230 is compatible, it has both DVI and VGA inputs if I am correct.
The question is, what adapter and cable connection are you using..?
1. The Apple HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the Mac Mini and a good DVI cable.
2. A MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter (if so, what brand adapter) and a good DVI cable.
3. A MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter (if so, what brand adapter) and a good VGA cable.
4. Or some other adapter to adapter and cable configuration.....?

Then if it is still blurry, consult your Samsung User Manual and adjust the setting using Monitor's Menu.

With wi-fi sync, can I select video or other content from my mac to sync to my iPad?

While using my iPad, is it possible to select content (video, music, etc) that resides on my mac to then be transferred via wifi to my iPad? I understand wi-fi sync will automatically (or manually) sync my ipad with my itunes on my mac based on the settings in itunes, but is there a way to manually select some content to sync without having to go back to itunes to make that change?
Thanks!

If you're at all familiar with the cable sync, the WiFi sync is identical with one exception...
If configured for WiFi sync, IOS updates are only via the IOS device.
It's actually quite slick. Typically, I plug my iPad into a wall socket at the end of the day. Then, I fire up my Mac and check to see how lousy my 401K looks. My iTunes opens automatically upon login (configured via System Prefs) and the iPad sync is performed in the background.

Experiment with 2 monitor and a laptop

I got 2 older monitors from a friend (Dell 1905fp) the other day. They are working as they should and so on. But is it possible to run these 2 on a laptop with only 1 VGA and 1 HDMI? The monitors do have 1 VGA and 1 DVI. I guess it's possible to get a USB to VGA device if it's necessery.
Since this is a laptop and i'm using it on other places then at home, is it possible to make the laptop to switch from using the laptops monitor to 2 monitors in some easy way? Using subtle atm, but planning to give dwm a try.
This is just an experiment, but it would be nice to make it work. If there is no way i'm probobly use the 2 monitors with an older desktop i got laying around somewhere...

Should be possible, HDMI to DVI adapters usually work without problems (the connectors are electrically the same).
melw wrote:I guess it's possible to get a USB to VGA device if it's necessery.
You'll probably have many troubles getting it to work under Linux (I've heard of only a few successful attempts).
melw wrote:Since this is a laptop and i'm using it on other places then at home, is it possible to make the laptop to switch from using the laptops monitor to 2 monitors in some easy way?
Use xrandr, probably with some kind of graphical interface.
melw wrote:This is just an experiment, but it would be nice to make it work. If there is no way i'm probobly use the 2 monitors with an older desktop i got laying around somewhere...
If it is an experiment I'll try to start from using a HDMI to DVI cable or adapter, because they are dirty cheap.

Display only on external monitor with laptop open--possible?

I have an external monitor (20" with resolution of 1680 x 1050) attached via DVI-D to my MacBook Pro 15". When I'm using it in this configuration, I like to only use my external monitor and not the built-in laptop display. The only way I can get this to work is to close the laptop screen and then wake up the computer using an externally attached (bluetooth, actually) keyboard.
My question is, how can I do this and have my laptop screen open? Whenever the laptop screen is open, its built-in screen activates and I can either "mirror" the displays or have display spanning. Mirroring does not work well for me because the external monitor's native LCD resolution is 1680 x 1050 and the laptop is 14xx by something (I forget the number).
Why do I want the screen to be open? Better airport and bluetooth reception. My external monitor is far away enough from the laptop that sometimes, the bluetooth mouse gets jittery when it tracks.
Thanks for the help!

How about turning the
brightness on the MBP all the way down? Will that
achieve what you want?
Kryten
Well, that means using monitor spanning. In that case, I could certainly make my external monitor the main display (thus, the one with the menu bar). The problem with monitor spanning in my situation is that it is possible windows and icons be mis-located to the laptop monitor. Because my two displays are not sitting side-by-side (they are at least 5 feet away from each other) this could get confusing.

T500: restart with 2nd monitor plugged in changes laptop monitor resolution

If I plug my monitor in after the laptop starts, it works fine, I can extend desktop to the monitor.
If I reboot with the monitor plugged in the laptop display resolution is reduced , messing up my icon layout. Anyone know how to change this behavior? I am assuming this is probably because it assumes I am in a docking station or something?

Hi - I have been regulary syncronizing my phone with laptop to backup all contacts on outlook.
In the last few days, there is an error message appearing which i am unable to identity and locate the issue. Only half of the contacts / other organiser data is getting updated on the laptop.

Anybody familiar with the details of implementing the Adobe PDF virtual printer?

Hello, all.
We need to implement a virtual printer similar to the legendary one by Adobe. The images processed by it will be detailed CAD drawing.
Can a kind soul point me in the appropriate direction? For starters: what type of data (what format) is the virtual printer expected to receive?
This will be for Windows.
TIA,
-RFH

Well... it isn't really a data format. A device driver (which includes a printer driver) provides a number of callbacks which correspond to the graphical calls made by a printing program. (At least, that's how it was when I looked into it a very long time ago). A driver might be asked to draw lines or boxes, to output text with particular fonts and attributes, or to accept a variety of raster graphics. This is something for an experienced programmer, or team, already very familiar with Windows graphic models such as GDI: device drivers are not easy to develop or debug, and because they run with special privileges; bugs in them have the potential to completely crash the system (blue screen of death) (although I read of something called "user mode drivers" which might be safer).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg463348.aspx is a place where some of this seems to be discussed. I don't know whether you have to sign up with Microsoft. You might, because recent OSs will only install signed drivers.
Updated: if you still want to make a PDF, this is an enormous task, so big that Adobe dropped the two drivers they once had. Adobe don't even write the Adobe PDF driver. Rather, they use the operating system's PostScript driver, then convert PostScript to PDF using Distiller, a tool they conveniently already had. Adobe provide what I think is called a "print monitor" (?) that takes the output from the driver once it is fully formatted. If you can process PostScript you could do the same. (Note: a PostScript interpreter from scratch is a considerably larger task than a print driver, so that isn't an easy option; look at 5-10 person years if the people are sufficiently skilled).

HT1296 i have synced my iphone with laptop but cant find my photos looks like every thing else is there

i have synced my iphone with laptop cant find photos?

Syncing does not move photos from the iPhone to the computer. Moving photos from the Camera Roll on the phone to the computer is done by importing photos, just like you would with a digital camera. Connect the iPhone, start your importing program if Auto Run does not start, and import pictures.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

iDevices can only be synched with one library. However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other. When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine. Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes. When you see this prompt:
select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

DM error on sync with laptop

I posted this on the storm forum but realise it probably should have gone on this forum, as you'll see below I have tried everything to get my laptop to sync with the storm but it crashes everytime during the initial sync. Tried v5 with no success again last night.
Any suggestions.... currently paying for a phone (for the last three months) that is unusable!!
I have recently got my Storm back from repair only to discover that all my contacts have been erased. I had a problem prior to the repair trying to sync using the desktop manager as it crashed everytime while trying to sync. I have tried several times uninstalling and reinstalling/repairing the current DM software, also tried deleting the RIM folders etc. but DM crashes everytime I try to sync. Any ideas? running windows XP with the latest drivers/software.
and again....
Sorry to repost this but this is driving me mad, I have tried everything to try to get my Storm to sync with my laptop and Outlook. Tried reloading, repairing, uninstalling, reinstalling, with Norton, without Norton, deleted registry files, re-deleted registry files and anything at all that mentions Blackberry or RIM etc etc been at it now for more than a week!!
This phone is completely usless to me as I can't sync to get my contacts back. I suspect that I may have a virus on my laptop but everything else is working fine, have done registry check and full system scan several times to see if there was any problems but nothing has ever came up. The desktop manager used to work and synced no problem....... I would rather chuck this phone away than have to re enter manually my contacts. I have called my provider and they can't help, I really don't want to have to completely re install my laptop OS just on the off chance that this might be the only thing that might get the DM to work again!!!
Seriously considering an iphone, and more stable Mac platform!!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello scocha,
Thank you for answering my questions in such detail
What I'd like you to try is to open BlackBerry Desktop Manager and go to Synchronize, then Sychronization on the left and then plug your device in. You should hopefully see that the button for Synchronization on the right is greyed out until you connect your device. Also, this shouldn't bring up the window for checking for updates although it might. If we haven't failed yet, I'd like to click on Sychronization and uncheck all of the items in the list. Press ok until you are back at the main screen of the Desktop Manager and then close the program entirely.
As long as everything is going well we should be able to start BlackBerry Desktop Manager the way you were initially by turning it on and then connecting your device.
If this works then we can narrow down which of the synchronization items are causing the trouble.
If this doesn't work then we will maybe need to look at your permissions on the computer or possibly create a new Windows user profile for testing.
