Can the ATI and NVIDIA coexist?

Hi everyone,
I recently installed a new ATI Radeon 5770 into my 1st gen MacPro 2006. I moved the original Nvidia GeForce 7300GT into slot #3.
I installed Snow Leopard 6.0 into a new upgraded HDD to tests out the new OS X. My other HDDs are still running Tiger and Leopard.
The problem now is that when I plug my monitor into the DVI of the ATI card, I get a black monitor. When I plug the Monitor cord into the Nvidia's DVI output, I get my normal screen.
How can I get my new ATI working?
I planned on using my old Nividia card for my 2nd monitor since the ATI is not equipped with dual DVI outputs.
What am I missing?
Rio

Hi Grant,
I did notice the possibility of using adapters for the card to support multiple monitors but I don't want to spend more money byuing them. The ATI card already cost a small fortune. I also somewhat failed to notice that the ATI 5770 only supports 10.6.x and up. I have other HDDs running on Tiger and Leopard for testing and software issues. I think I will most likely return this card and opt to find an Nvidia GeForce 8800GT wich may solve all my "issues". We'll what happens.
Regardless, thanks for "chiming" in.

  • Can the position and szing of a control element in a View be controlled from the ViewModel?

    Is it possible to change the position of a control, say a label, as a response to some action/operation from the ViewModel?  Like if one response to something is true then place the label in the top left corner.  If false, place the label
    in the lower right corner.  I realize you could have a label in each position and just set the visibility.  But can the position and sizing of said label be controlled from the View Model?  What would be a sample coding of this?  would
    it be in the xaml or combination of a method in the ViewModel and the xaml? 
    Rich P

    First off Rich, say TextBlock to yourself ten times.
    Use a TextBlock rather than a label.
    There are a bunch of different ways to do this and the easiest is to have two controls whose text is bound to the one property.
    Bind the Visibility of each to another 2 properties in the viewmodel.
    Collapse one and Visible the other.
    The reason for that is that it's easier.
    Technically, you could put one textblock in a grid and use margin to control this.  You could animate x y co-ordinates and move the textblock mysteriously across the window if you put your mind to it.
    Or you could put it in a row/column "cell" of a grid and change which cell it goes in - but that would involve some mechanism like messaging from the viewmodel to the view and is not really ideal if you can avoid it.
    I'd have a pair of textblocks, here's one:
    <TextBlock Name="TopLeftMsg"
    Text="{Binding Msg}"
    Visiblity="{Binding TopLeftVis}"
    Both would bind to a public string property msg in the viewmodel.
    They each get their own public visibility property  and that'd be switched between Visibility.Visible and Visibility.Collapsed.
    Sizing of textblocks is best fitted to content because all you see is the text.
    Textboxes are arguably different because you can see the things.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking, etc accessed with combinations of letters and functional keys prior to Snow Leopard be achieved in Snow Leopard?

    How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking/punctuation pallet, available in pre-Snow Leopard OSes with various combinations of letter or number keys and functional keys, be accessed in Snow Leopard?  Those pre-Snow Leopard versions worked on the fly as one was making text in any pedestrian application and its native font (Mail, Text Edit, for example).  One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font preferences, etc.

    > One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font
    > preferences, etc.
    It hasn't worked like that since the Early Chalcolithic (ie, System 7 or thereabouts).
    You've already got plenty of answers. Briefly (and grossly oversimplified),
    - Mac OS X conforms to a standard known as Unicode; in its current incarnation, it defines over 100k characters.
    - A keypress is translated into a character according to the current keyboard layout.
    - The graphic representation of a character (ie, glyph), is provided by the current font.
    - If a font lacks a glyph for the requested character, either another font will be automatically chosen (Mac OS X text engine), or some form of feedback (empty box, question mark, etc) will be used.
    - To inspect the actual key codes, use a utility such as Key Codes.
    - To inspect the current keyboard layout, invoke Keyboard Viewer.
    - To inspect the full complement of glyphs of a font, invoke Character Viewer (also accessed with the Special Characters command).
    (Remember that both these utilities are resizable and zoomable -- you can enlarge them to a comfortable viewing size, then zoom out to see more of the screen for your original task.)
    - For a more detailed look, use a utility such as UnicodeChecker.
    - The default keyboard layout depends on your Mac OS X localisation.
    (Keep in mind that there's no need to stick with the default layout; choose whichever one makes sense to you, given your language, habits, and proclivities. Mac OS X comes bundled with quite a few, including some obviously designed for the huddled masses of refugees from the Dark Side, who, in their wretched ignorance, have the unmitigated gall of labelling our native ways "really uncomfortable". Oh well, this, too, shall pass.
    If none of the supplied keyboard layouts fits your needs -- if, for instance, you write your emails in Etruscan -- go out on the 'net, you'll find quite a few. Or write your own with Ukulele, it's not really all that difficult.)
    - Use Keyboard Viewer to familiarise yourself with the current layout and to enter the odd character; but, to be proficient, you should learn your layout to the point that KV is no longer needed.
    - Use Character Viewer to enter the odd character not available in the current keyboard layout.
    Neither Keyboard Viewer nor Character Viewer are effective tools for more extensive needs, eg, for writing and editing bilingual or multilingual texts. In such a case, you should enable the respective keyboard layouts and switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
    A few interesting layouts bundled with Mac OS X have already been mentioned. Let me add three.
    - Dvorak: several layouts based on the Dvorak keyboard. It is claimed that the latter is more productive and lessens RSI risk.
    - US Extended: based on QWERTY, it offers a more extensive set of diacritics (eg, caron, breve) via dead keys.
    - Unicode Hex Input: also based QWERTY, it allows input by Unicode codepoint (in hexadecimal), so it's the most extensive layout of all; eg, to enter the character "Parenthesized Number Twelve" (U+247F), hold down Option, type "247f", release Option.

  • Can the JNLP and the jarred application be on different servers

    Can the JNLP and the jarred application be on different servers? If so, how would I alter my JNLP file to include the url of the second server?
    The reason I ask this is that my app is being uploaded to a shopping cart, to be available for purchase. The problem is that this shopping cart allows ONLY one upload for each item that's available for purchase, and the vendor of my shopping cart say that for security reasons I cannot store files in other places on that server. The problem is that I need the JNLP and the JAR for download. I thought that the simplest solution is to put the JAR on a different server, and in the jnlp specify the URL of the jar. Is that possible? Or, do you see another solution?
    I appreciate your help - I REALLY need to take care of this ASAP!
    Here's my jnlp:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <jnlp
    spec="1.0+"
    codebase="http://server_where_jnlp_is/subdir/"
    href="myjnlp.jnlp">
    <information>
    <title>Title</title>
    <vendor>vendor</vendor>
    <homepage href="http://www.homepage.com" />

    <jar href="myapp.jar"/>
    <nativelib href="libs.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <application-desc />
    </jnlp>

    I worked it out! What I did was I changed the jar href and the nativelib href to point to a different server
    eg:
    changed <jar href="myapp.jar"/>
    to
    <jar href="http://www.otherserver.com/myapp.jar"/>

    Earlier, I wrote:

    I can't believe this conversation has gone on this long.  You keep wanting it to be a bug, but it seems to me the basic problem here is that you haven't accepted the fact that YOU are responsible for getting the image metadata in order before you can use tools like the Ruler to read out in physical units, such as inches or centimeters, accurately.
    Photoshop can only know the size of things in your document if you or your workflow provide it an accurate ppi value!
    What's the original source of the material?  A scanner?  If so, some part of the scanning or image preparation process has left you with an inaccurate ppi value.
    For the documents you're already working with, use Image - Image Size, then UNcheck the Resample Image checkbox and type in the correct ppi value.  Then everything will work.

  • ATI and Nvidia cards together?

    Is it possible to run an Nvidia card with an ATI card simultaneously? I have a 2007 mac pro with the stock 7300gt. I need another graphics card for a third monitor and would like to purchase the new ATI 3870. Does anyone here have an Nvidia and ATI card running together? Are there any issues? Thanks.

    Hi Ashuta,
    With respect, I think you confused it. I replied to dualrecto's question. As I didn't want to assume what he meant, I took the opportunity to answer to it in relation to both OS X and Windows. His question concerned the 7300 and the 3870, not the latter and 8800.
    I haven't seen any info that the 8800 and the 3870 could run together in OS X. However, as was written in the Macnn post that I linked to in the second of the two Apple Discussions links you included, the "no-mixing of video card rule" apparently doesn't apply to the newer Mac Pros. Since the ATi 2600 and the nVidia 7300 work simultaneously under OS X perhaps the 8800 and the 3870 will also work under OS X (and saying that, perhaps it will be possible to run also the combo dualrecto is seeking).
    Whether you should switch to the 3870: I guess it depends on what you want to use the cards for. The 8800 is superior in 3D rendering provided the application can take advantage of it's OpenGL functions. Which is why it does well as a gaming card. If not, it seems the 3870 is a better bet: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/ATI3870_Mac_PC_review/radeonhd3870review.html.
    Good luck!

  • ATI and NVidia Card in MacPro - Setting primary GPU

    Hi
    I have a ATI 5870 (offiical, from apple store) in slot 1 and a NVidia GT120 (came with purchase) in slot 2, I want the computer to do the processing with the faster, bigger, better, I-paid-lot-of-money-for-this 5870, but things like Cinema 4D seem to want to use the GT120. I'm no expert on the technical side of thing, I just look at the cinebench and OpenGL info which all say GT120...
    Any tips on how to mane the 5870 the "main GPU" card, I commonly use more than 3 displays in the area of work I'm in so would prefer not to have to keep putting in / taking out the card.
    OS X 10.6.8
    Mac Pro 4.1
    8 Core 2.26gHz
    ATI 5870 - Slot 1
    NVidia GT120 - Slot 2
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Thanks,
    By defualt my main 2 screen run into the 5870, but when I view the OpenGL info in C4D it shows that the GT120 is doing the GPU work, and there is no sign of the 5870, but when the GT120 is removes it uses the 5870...

  • Drop ship line did not split, the material have partial receipts, can the PR and PO be canceled?

    hello,
    I need some help with this issue. We have a drop ship line that have 270 cartons in status awaiting receipt, but in the inventory already received 624 cartons.  The line of that sales order needs to be closed now, to invoice the customer. But the PR and PO looks like OPEN.
    I tried to manually split the line in the sales order. To have two lines; one with the 624 already received, and other one for the 96 cartons left. But an error message shows when i do this.
    The error its :  You are not allowed to split Order Line because:Line is released to purchasing
    I found in the ORDER ORGANIZER when i chek the Sales Order, the ORDER SOURSE LINE REFERENCE the last line (which suppose to be splitted with the reception of the material) have a number lower than the line before it.
    example: line 2.5 have OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL27231981  and line 2.4 OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL27232315
    Can somebody help me with this?
    i also found a bug in meta link but i think something can be done. bug 2281449.
    Thank you,
    Paloma Cadena

    We had similar issues in the past. We solved them by doing a mini customization.
    The customization created an short-text attachment of the type "Note to receiver" at the PR level. The attachment included the Sales order # and line#.
    This attachment flows from the PR to PO and is also available to the receiving clerk during receipt.
    However, once the PO is received, we did not transfer the information to onhand. I don't think one can unless the item was serialized or lot controlled.
    Hope this helps,

  • Can the desktop and mobile version of site share one News Announcement module?

    Hello. Can I make the News Announcement module work for both the desktop and phone version of a site? I want to use one set of News Announcements so have created a separate template for the desktop detail and the phone detail.
    On the mobile News page, seen here,  news - Latest News  (make sure you reduce the browser to a phone size) I have altered the module code generating the announcement list from {module_announcement,a,,,,} to the following so that it uses a mobile specific template (as suggested on the BC help page here Business Catalyst Help | Using custom templates for modules). The template is in the Templates folder.
    {module_announcement,a template="/Templates/MOBILE-INNER-News-pages.tpl"}
    But it isn't working yet, on selecting a news item link on the mobile version the detail loads but it is the desktop version not the mobile version. Is my code snippet wrong? The news items themselves have been assigned the desktop version template which I imagine could be the problem. Is there a way around this or do I have to create two sets of news announcements, one for desktop the other for phones?
    Cheers for any help with this.

  • Can the Airport and the Printer be in Different Rooms?

    I have the Airport Express in my old Chicago apartment. I also have Direct TV, where there is only one phone jack that works for the TV line so my modem is positioned next to it. I also have the Airport Express there so ethernet cord can make it from the modem to the airport.
    Now that you have the background info, I currently have my HP c3180 connected via USB and it works perfectly. (Thanks for the kudos on setting up multiple laptops to it). But, I want to move the printer to another room down the hall. Is there a way to maintain wireless capabilities without the USB? Or do I need a really long cord to snake around door and floor moldings?
    Hope I wasn't confusing. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    libbytd, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If the printer does not have built-in wireless you would need to run a USB cable between the printer and AirPort Express (AX).

  • Can the rescue and recovery function be infect with a trojan virus?

    I had some trouble with trojan viruses. My scan software detected malware on my system which I deleted with the help of the antivirus software antivir (free version) and with the software malwarebytes.
    My thinkpad r51 is still running and virus scans do not show any problems any more. But I am not quite sure if I can trust the scans. So I am thinking about to format the harddisk and setup a new system. Or to use the rescue and recovery function which says that the system will be put back to its initial state. Is it really possible to bring the system back to its original state with help of rescue and recovery? ? I am a little bit afraid that the rescue and recovery function might be infected too? How does the function work? Can the system really be put back to its original state?
    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    if you have a virus on your system, then there is a realy small chance, that the virus got also into the Service Partition. 
    So in this situation if you want to restore the system , then after the restore finish, the virus should surely be gone.
    Service partition is a protected partition, which content can not be accessed just like that .
