Sorry for the mild thread necromancy.
At what resolution do you run the external display? According to AMD/ATI, the radeon xpress 200m supports only up to 1600x1200, but I think I've used bigger displays with no problems.

  • [SOLVED] Best DE for dual screen setups?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the best DE for a dual screen setup on Arch? Also, can I just use the standard xrandr method to be able to drag windows between screens, if not, what do I do?
    Many thanks.

  • Best Configuration for Dual Monitors and Cintiq

    I'm a photographer and my G5 has dual monitors with Aperture. I now have a Wacom Cintiq monitor that I want to incorporate into this configuration, but I am having trouble figuring out the best way to do this. Right now, I have to disconnect one monitor and use that DVI port for the Cintiq. It works, but it is a hassle.
    Does anyone out there have this sort of setup and how have you solved this? Thanks.

    I still don't have an answer yet. I have two identical NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards in the number 1 and 2 slots. They are both set to x8/x16 which is a setup for equal medium performance from each card.
    My problem persists as described at the beginning of this forum (all the monitors flick OFF for about two seconds, at a 30 minute interval (exactly), except that recently a new problem has cropped up. When I return to my computer each morning the monitors running from the number 2 slot don't light up right away, and I need to turn the power switch on the monitors on and off a couple of times before they will recognize the computer's signal and start glowing.
    Also another new issue that seems related to the monitors. When the monitors go off every 30 minutes, the signal to a pair of amplified speakers is interrupted.
    Any theories out there? If you guys can help me with this, maybe I tell you about the problem I have with my Mini Cooper! Wrong forum?

  • Suspend to RAM with KMS enabled and ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M

    Per this thread, I added the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to disable glx in order to continue booting with 'nomodeset' to disable KMS after today's updates.  I've always had to boot with 'nomodeset' so that suspend/resume will work properly (I get a black screen/freeze on resume from suspend to ram). However, with this fix, my screen redraws are happening MUCH slower than before the update. Anyone have KMS enabled AND suspend/resume working with an:  ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Ok, sorry for a delay -- long weekend...
    Suspend + KMS have been working starting sometimes in the 2.6.35 series.
    My guess as to why you can't suspend, is your BIOS/motherboard, nothing else.

  • What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

    What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
    I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

    A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive.  If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice.  If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice.  As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
    For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5602141?tstart=0
    A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
    $130
    A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

  • Driver Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series doesn't work with a specific Kingston USB

    Hello guys, just the other problem I'm facing with the 840 G2
    I'm working in the MDT image for the HP 840 G2 and I would like to comment you one problem that I found with the USB 3.0 drivers. Based in your webpage, the last HP USB 3.0 official drivers are:
    Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series Products
    3.0.1.41 A from 15 dic 2014
    I have found that those drivers doesn't work properly; if you insert a Kingston DTSE9 (32GB) the content of the usb will not be accessible randomly. The event viewer will display:
    The driver detected a controller error on \device\harddisk1\DR13
    To solve this problem you have to obtain the last version of the drivers from the Intel webpage:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Control...
    I have all the drivers properly installed and it seems that the computer is working fine, however I'm a little worry thinking if I should update all the driver to avoid possible problem like this one.
    If you have found similar problems it would be nice to share it.
    Thank you very much.

  • What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
    My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

  • So I've changed my hard drive for an ssd and now I've been told to enable trim now I've got the apple cover will they show me how to enable it with out some program of the internet ?

    so I've changed my hard drive for an ssd and now I've been told to enable trim  ?  now I've got the apple cover will they show me how to enable it with out some program of the internet ?

    Use an app called chameleon ssd optimizer.
    I enabled trim with it after almost a year of having installed a Samsung 840 pro SSD and my read/write speeds almost quadrupled.
    I would definite;y advise using it even though Samsung SSD's come with there own garbage disposal.
    Hope that helps.

  • Best driver for photosmart p-1100 on windows 7

    HiWhta is the best driver to load to allow me to still use my older photosmart p-1100 printer with windows 7 ?

    I was having this same issue and found a solution. I was thrilled when I upgraded to 7, until I found out that MANY drivers and applications are just not compatible. BUT....here's the loophole: you can set the program to run in Windows Vista compatibility
    mode and it WILL work. To do this: 1) Download the driver utility (CS330.exe in this case) to your desktop. Note: I used the CS330 driver for Windows XP and am running 64 bit Windows 7 on my computer. 2) Right click on the icon and select "Restore Previous
    Versions" 3) Select the "Compatibility" tab. 4) Check the box for "Compatibility Mode" and select "Windows Vista (Service pack 2) from the drop-down menu. 5) Click "Apply" and then "Ok" 6) Reboot your computer
    and click on the icon to install. Follow instructions given on the screen. Hope this helps!
    I tried this, doesn't want to find the driver in the c:/temp/cs330-xp dir

    I have many external drives I use between my MacBook Pro and my Windows PC's. I use a free NTFS driver for Mac OS-X to give me full read/write access to any NTFS formatted partitions when running Mac OS. I also use MediaFour's MacDrive v8 on some of my Windows PC's to access any HFS+ formatted partitions.
    Most of my drives are formatted NTFS because I have more Windows machines than I have MacDrive licenses, and with the driver for Mac OS, they are fully accessible. I have a few drives I do keep formatted as HFS+ because I have encountered an app or two that don't work quite right when they don't get to write to files on an HFS+ partition (one of my backup programs is picky about this).
    As said before, FAT32 is fully accessible between the two OS'es but it also has it's own limitations.

  • Lenovo 14 20DM correct driver for 'Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller'

    Hi Everyone, I am the happy owner of a new Yoga 14 20DM. A few days ago I made the decision to upgrade to Windows 10. Whilst the upgrade went smoothly I did have to install a number of drivers manually. At the moment I am stuck on trying to install the 'PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller' (as shown below).  I have tried right clicking on the device then selecting Properties > Driver (tab) > Update Driver > Search automatically for updated driver software, however doing so only shows the screen capture below!  Furthermore I have searched the Lenovo support page for a suitable driver however none is available! http://support.lenovo.com/au/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-yoga-14/20dm?TabName Finally I have also installed, and run, 'System Update 5' the software program available from Lenovo. However it was not able to install a correct driver for this device. I have done a little searching on this topic, and have read a couple of stories about people installing an incorrect driver for this device, and then experiencing blue screens! Can anybody suggest how I can go about locating and installing the correct driver for this device? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Davo

    Hi Ingemann, Ultimately I decided on the newest version of the Intel Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility), which at this time (on the Intel website) is version 10.0.27. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/20775/Intel-Chipset-Device-Software-INF-Update-Utility- Interestingly enough I was presented with the message below when I ran this executable.  I selected Downgrade (with some trepidation), and after rebooting was pleasantly surprised to see that the troubled device was missing from the list. I can only assume that this means the correct drivers were installed. Thanks you very much for your help. Kind Regards, David

  • Best Driver for GX630

    Hello all, I apologize if this is a repeat of a previous topic;
    I own a GX 630, and have had it for about a year, or more, now. I understand it isn't top of the line gaming, but I expect a certain amount of performance out of it.
    Recently I've been having trouble with WoW and the game seems to run fine until the video card gets exceptionally loud for about 5-10 seconds, then performance drops to under 10 fps. The laptop seems to experience abnormal heating issues as well.
    Before this happened I had been playing around with different drivers to see, pound for pound, what was the best driver for the laptop in terms of monitoring heat and giving suitable performance.
    In short, which is the best driver out there, in your experience, for the GX630 32 bit?
    Thanks so much.
    Cheers!

    You won't see it at the outtake, the dust is at the beginning of the exit.
    Have a look at this, it will give an idea of what I mean: http://tech.icrontic.com/articles/clean_laptop_heatsink/

    edit:
    Sorry I forgot to mention that in device manager under sound controllers it lists

    Does this mean that my system is not properly recognised or doesn't it display the specifics such as Creative X-Fi Titanium for example? Thanks...

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • Can I use an external drive for Time Machine and storing other data?

    At the moment I have one external drive, a 500gb LaCie. My internal drive is 160gb. I don't think I'll be using all 500 of those gigabytes for a while, so I want to put them to good use. Can I make a partition on this drive and use that for Time Machine, leaving the rest of the drive for my documents and other files? If so, how would I partition the drive? I'm not fluent in Disk Utility and even though I'm pretty sure I know how to do it, I don't want to screw up. Also, how big a partition would you recommend?
    While we're here, I have a second question, somewhat relevant to the first. Could I move my Time Machine backups to a second drive if I wanted to? Also, if I used a big drive (say 1tb) could I use Time Machine to backup my current LaCie to a partition on that drive? Thanks in advance.

    videoCWK wrote:
    Does that also mean that I could back them both up on a very big drive?
    Yes. Time Machine will, by default, back up all of your external drives unless you specifically exclude them.
    Also, will Time Machine backups eat all my space after a lot of usage?
    It depends on what you do on your Mac. If you work often with very large files (video editing, heavy photo editing, big disk images, Microsoft Entourage data file, Parallels disk image file, etc) then your backup drive could fill up very quickly.
    I use my Mac mostly for e-mail, web browsing, iTunes, iPhoto, and the occasional iMovie project. I have 92 GB on my main hard drive (60 GB of which are my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and one iMovie project.) My Time Machine backups consume 155GB on my backup drive, and that's after using Time Machine for a full year.
