Can VESA do high resolution and 24 bit color?

Here is the basic reason why I'm asking:
I have a Radeon 9500 Pro.  While it SHOULD be supported by the open-source "ati" driver, it isn't; my computer kernel panics as soon as anything is loaded, and it has ALWAYS done that (for the year and 2 months I've been using Linux).  The fglrx drivers in Arch broke around 8.9 so I switched to Ubuntu 7.10 because those were the last fglrx that let me get to the desktop without a kernel panic (8.04 and 8.10 both kernel panic with "ati" and "fglrx" drivers).  Well, the thing is, I don't want to use 7.10 because it has old software.  I'd like to use newer software, but it isn't easy to do with Ubuntu if I don't want to break something or whatever.
I want to switch back to Arch, but "ati" drivers kernel panic (like always) and as of 8.11, fglrx doesn't support my video card (this is official from Ati).  Vesa works fine, but the problem is the colors look terrible.  I think it only uses 16 bit when I use vesa... it seems to support 1280x1024 okay (which is my monitors native resolution), but if the colors are crap it doesn't matter.
So, in summary, can I configure vesa to use 1280x1024 resolution and 24 bit color depth?  I don't need 3d acceleration, I use my computer for coding (cs major), internet, and watching movies.  Can vesa support those things okay or am I basically stuck with Ubuntu 7.10 until I can get a new computer (god knows when)?

The answer to your post is likely to be fund in the listings given in xorg.conf which lists every vesa mode therein.
Your post is not entirely specific but the modes given in vesa xorg listings are complete.
AFAIK vesa is fully capable altho perhaps not accel capable.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 A809 - can I print just black and have empty color cartridge?

    I saw in a previous post entitled "PSC 1410 - can I print just black and have empty color cartridge"
    that the printer does color underprinting even when printing black and white, to prevent bleeding.
    My question is, is this also true when selecting the grayscale printing option in the printer properties dialog box?
    I installed the printer using an ethernet connection to a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop computer running Windows XP Professional

    Yes you will still need the color cartridge.  The printer uses what is called under printing, it still uses some of the color cartridge's ink in this process, even when printing in just black, the reason is to stop the black from "bleeding"

  • Photoshop CC and Audition CC is not compatible with the high resolution and small screen that my computer have.

    Hello everyone. Recently I bought the New Razer Blade (2014). It has a high resolution of 3200 x 1800 and a screen size of 14 inch. It is that I downloaded the Photoshop CC that I realize that the words are so small it is actually causing a problem for the users. I searched online for helps and learned that the only way to change this is to wait for the developers of the Photoshop CC to make and update to make it compatible. The source of this idea is from a guy have the same computer and the same problem. He updated his Lightroom and the interface ungraded into one that he can use with ease and he hopes that the Adobe company will update Photoshop CC also and fix the resolution problem too. I thought that after another update, Photoshop CC will have it visual update too. However, the last update from a few days ago didn't solve this problem. I wonder if The Adobe company knows about this problem and that's the main reason I'm starting a discussion on this topic. The same goes to the Audition CC and the Premiere Pro CC. These 3 are the most important tools for my and this computer is the only good one that I can have right now. I have tried lowering my resolution but everything else became difficult to use. If I'm using the Photoshop CC, I of course wouldn't want to use a resolution that is too low to edit my pictures.
        This is my problem and I wish someone can do something about the visual updates of Photoshop, Audition, and Premiere Pro so that they are compatible with the New Razer Blade (2014) 14 inch screen. Just like Lightroom.

    Hi,
    The video features for Windows 32 bit systems are no longer supported starting with Photoshop CC (14.0).

  • Can't attach high resolution Photo to emil

    Whenever I attach a photo to Apple Mail, it takes the ~2.5 MB hi-resolution photo and "converts" it to a ~125k lo-resolution version. I have it email set on window's friendly and attach at end-of-email. If I log onto email at Yahoo.com or Gmail, I can attach the hi-resolution version and it works fine but not in Apple Mail. Any ideas.

    After you've attached the image, in the lower right corner of the window you have a choice of sending the file as 'original size'. Have you tried using that choice?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Win 63 and 32 bit color replacement tool

    I opened a B/W jpg file, converted it to CMYK.  I have followed the directions from a few Color Replacement tool Help, etc.  I can't get it to work.  Converting Black to a lighter color, shows up very dark when it works, which is sporadic.  Very frustrating.  Open JPG file, convert to CMYK.  Select CRT, click Foreground color to a light color, select the black with one mouse click.  Drag to change color.  When/if it works color is very dark.  Doesn't work everytime.  Using the Color Mode and Sample Once.  Vista 64-bit with all SP's, CS5 32 and 64 bit, same results.

    I'm realyl not sure I understand why you try to use that workflow. A greyscale image is by all means devoid of all color and just contains lightness/luminance information, so there is actually nothing to replace. The times when it happens are probably just random compression artifacts that have a slight color fringe. With b/w imagery, you rather tint regions and that can be done using selections and adjustment tools or a global gradient map adjustment....

  • How can i make higher resolution titles?

    i am working on a dvd that will be nationally produced through churches all over america and most likely the world and everything is going great (now that i bought more RAM...) but i am using just very basic titles for the dvd but they look so pixelated and low res. i am working with FCE 1.1 and i am using the TEXT from the video generators, does anyone know how i can make higher res texts that don't look so stinkin pixelated? thanks so much

    The general rules are - use a sans-serif font (for example, Arial) and make it as large as you can, subject to the limits of your aesthetic tolerance. Small fonts & serif fonts do not work well in video.
    I don't know if FCE 1.1 included Title 3D, but that generator includes a 1:2:1 Deflicker control that may be helpful. If not, you could try adding the Flicker Filter to your text clip.
    Another suggestion (and I'm assuming you have still text, not moving text) would be to duplicate the text clip and stack it on top of the original text clip, on a higher video track. Then open the original text clip and apply the Gaussian Blur filter or Anti-Alias filter. This will help soften the pixellated edges of the text.
    Which generator(s) are you using, what font & what size?

  • Can you extract higher resolutions from Smart Objects or Linked Smart Objects?

    When I am designing at 1x resolution, can I extract assets from smart objects or linked smart objects for 2x or more? If so, how do they scale up?

    Yes with caveats.
    PSD and Illustrator smart objects are also re-rendered and smoothly scaled to the requested resolution.
    Other smart objects (including those with filters) are only scaled up from the resolution they are at within the Photoshop file. If you want them to re-render, you can paste them at 100% resolution into a linked smart object and get the smooth scaling.

  • How can I upload high resolution photos to MobileMe Web Gallery

  • Exported Raw Conversion Image Resolution and Assigning a Color Profile, etc

    In Aperture 1.1, although I set the exported Raw conversion image resolution to 300 dpi in the preferences, it continues to come out at 72 dpi which is something of an inconvenience. Also, is it possible to assign a color profile to the "exported version" so that it is congruent to my PS CS2 color workspace (if that is what its called). Is this program capable of carrying out a conversion as a background operation? Finally, can the layout windows be configured so that they remember how they have been used in the past? Thanks.

    Iatrogenic huh! Cool!
    Anyway, I'm not real clear on what it is you are trying to accomplish. Despite your obvious vocabulary skills, there seems to be some disconnect relative to what you are trying to accomplish. You are right that "exporting a version" in Aperture is roughly equivalent to what happens in ACR when you "Open" a RAW image into Photoshop. In both cases you have, hopefully, already done the adjusting of parameters you want prior to "exporting", or "opening". When you "open" or "export" you wind up with an "image" composed of pixels, whereas in the RAW adjustment phase you are just working with a temporary thumbnail and a set of mathematical instructions. Big difference, I suppose is that when you "open" and image from ACR into CS2, the resulting image is truly just pixels and has not had a "file type" applied to the file yet, until you "save" it, while in Aperture, if you "export" a file to CS2, or to the desktop, you end up with the file type already applied. Presuming you "export" a 16 bit TIFF or PSD, there is no operational difference.
    I could be wrong, but with the new Bayer Demosaicing algorithms in Aperture 1.1, and the Camera RAW adjustments, you should be able to come up with an adjusted image that is VERY close if not identical to one done in ACR, with the possible exception of lens abberation adjustment. I was very critical of the RAW adjustments in 1.0.1, but I am very happy with the capabilites in 1.1. That said, I think there is still some room for improvement in user friendliness of some of the adjustments such as Levels.

  • How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

    how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
    basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
    i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
    is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

    You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
    Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
    Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
    Key features:
    • Output multiple InDesign files automatically
    • Output as single pages
    • Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
    • Output files to multiple formats at once
    • Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
    • Update modified links automatically
    • Variable output file names
    • Preflight InDesign files and final PDFs
    • Supports books and booklet printing
    • Send output files over Internet and locally
    • Detailed output history

    I made a search on this before posting but didn't find what I was looking for. I bought the Audigy 4 a while back and really enjoy the performance and quality. When I bought this sound card it came with a DVD 24 bit music sampler. I've been shopping on the web and in?stores for high resolution music (24 bit, or "aiff" format)?and can't believe I have found none. Is it me?not looking at the right place or is this not available on the market yet?thanks?

    The only "hi def" music you'll find will be super audio CD's and DVD audio "CD's". I doubt you will find anything in an uncompressed format online as that would take up way too much storage space and bandwidth.
    SACD's are "better" because they offer an enormously high sample rate. 2.xxx MHz, I can't remember the exact rate. It also has a bit rate of only . DVD "CD's" (which aren't CD's at all) can hold more data, so the songs can be recorded in a much higher sample rate over conventional CD's. You won't, however, be able to play them on normal CD players, and it would be impracticable to rip them to your computer.
