Cannot get native 1440x900 resolution

Hey guys. I just upgraded to snow leopard and after using it for a few days, the resolution on my external monitor got warped suddenly and now I can't change the resolution back to the native 1440x900 60Hz. Although there are other resolutions available, it doesn't look clear on the monitor. I would appreciate any answers given. Thanks. (By the way, it's connect by mini-dvi to VGA)

i don't have a direct answer, but you could just fiddle around with different settings on both the monitor and the computer. sometimes, you'll end up with different settings for each depending on the output of the picture. sometimes at school, i'll connect to an LCD projector and i get a really bad resolution on the computer, but its fine on the screen. you just have to try different things to get the best result. it shouldn't be an issue of the OS.
hope that helps!

  • I cannot get full 4k2k resolution while bootcamp windows 8.1 on new mac pro

    When using OS X Yosemite, I get full 4k resolution on my mac pro 2013 using a seiki 39" TV/monitor. However, when I'm using widows 8.1 on the bootcamp partition I can only get 1080P. Has anyone seen this problem? Is it the mini display to HDMI cord that I'm using? Would this still be the case if I went straight HDMI to HDMI? On OS X side its full 4k at 30Hz default, but in bootcamp its 1080P at 60Hz default. Thanks, footdocy.

    Did you upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1? If so then:
    Additional Information
    4K displays and Ultra HD TVs using Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 with Boot Camp use the same rules as OS X. If you upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1, you should repair Boot Camp drivers.

  • Cannot get native resolution on my external monitor

    System:
    - IBM Thinkpad T42p (display works intermittently)
    - Samsung Syncmaster 2333SW (1920x1080 native res.)
    - ATI Mobility Fire GL T2 (Driver vers. 6.14.10.6422)
    1920x 1080 does not seem to be available through control panel for my
    external monitor-- I uncheck "Hide all modes", it makes 1600x1200
    available and then 2048x1536 (the latter is too big for the physical
    screen size).  I have been able to get the 1920x1080 before but not
    since this morning when I used the laptop display with the monitor
    detached and have since reattached the monitor.
    I tried installing ATI Catalyst™ Display Driver off ATI/AMD's website but get
    an error that the installer can't find a driver for my system, or
    something close to that.  Is there a driver that will support the
    1920x1080?  Why would the list of available resolutions skip from
    1600x1200 to 2048x1536?
    I have since reinstalled the ATI Mobility Fire GL T2 driver off lenovo's website and uninstalled the Samsung 2333sw driver (per the advice of Samsung's tech support as they said it causes conflicts.
    How can I get the 1920x1080 back?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Satellite Pro L550 - Cannot get 1920x1200 on external monitor

    Hi all,
    I cannot get nativ resolution (1920x1200) to my external monitor thrue HDMI conection.
    Catalyst or windows XP settings monitor gives max res. only 1920x1080 - Why?
    NB Satellite pro L550 (ATI 5165, hdmi ), LG L245WP (hdmi). Thanks for answer.

    > I finaly founded specification of Grf.card 5165 at ATI web.
    > Maximum output of HDMI is up to 1920x1080.
    http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/ati-mobility-hd-5165/Pages/hd-5165-specs.aspx
    HDMI output support all display resolutions up to 1920x1080
    >So toshiba thinks, that is possible to use analog (D-SUB) with 2048x1536 !!!!!!!!
    This chip support two integrated DVI display outputs 18-, 24-, and 30-bit digital displays at all resolutions up to 1920x1200 (single-link DVI) or 2560x1600 (dual-link DVI)
    VGA output supports analog displays connected by VGA at all resolutions up to 2048x1536
    Means that all these resolutions depend on the available display output!!!

  • Can no longer get native resolution on monitor

    For the better part of a year I had two twin Viewsonic monitors set at 1440x900 with my Mac Pro (late 2011) Radeon 5770. One plugged right into the DVI, then another with an Apple Mini-DP to VGA adapter. Everything was fine, and I'm not sure what changed, but now, suddenly, I cannot find the correct resolution in Displays, and it is simply displayed as "VGA Display" and the display is blurry. I have reset the PRAM, reset the settings on the monitor, repaired disk permissions, thrown away some system prefs files I found via Google, and plugged cables in every possible combination (as I have a myriad of such cables), I even have a secondary Mini-Displayport to VGA adapter. All signs point to software. I have the latest update of Mac OS X Lion.  I have even tried SwitchResX to no avail, but to be honest, I didn't spend the hours of time it would take to study monitor technology, refresh rates, hsync, vsync, etc etc...
    Can anyone help with a suggestion, I'm going bannanas over here... I have Applecare but I'm sure they'll just tell me fresh to reinstall Mac OS X. (Hrmm sounds like Windows.. Oh yeah, that reminds me... in Bootcamp the monitors work fine.)

    it is simply displayed as "VGA Display"
    That is how your Display Identified itself to Mac OS X. If the display only provides that as a name, and does not provide its full capabilities, Mac OS X cannot determine its true capabilities and you get an abbreviated set of resolutions to avoid damaging your display.
    As you discovered, you can use a cheater program like SwitchResX.
    There is nothing wrong with your Mac. That is the way it was designed.
    There is nothing wrong with these Forums, either. They have always been User-to-User forums, and Apple never posts here. If you want Apple to help, you need to take your equipment to an Apple Store (free evaluation) or call AppleCare and pay their charges (which they may waive later for certain problems) if you are out of your free phone support period.

  • Satellite 1130-Z31: Cannot get 1600x900 on second monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1130-Z31 (old one, but still works well).
    Now i have attached a second monitor with a native resolution of 1600x900 pixels.
    I have set the resolution of the second monitor to 1600x900, this is accepted.
    However, the image on the second monitor looks ugly, and the external monitors OSD says it gets 1440x900 pixel signals from the laptop.
    It seems that the Toshiba sends an image with a lower resolution than set.
    I have installed the latest graphics driver - no change.
    Or could this be a problem with a poor quality VGA cable or so?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Turtle

    Hi
    Unfortunately I was not able to find info which resolutions are supported for external displays but if you cannot get 1600x900 pixels that mean that this resolution is not supported by graphic card.
    Which video port do you use? VGA 15 pin port maybe?

  • Qosmio G20: How to get higher screen resolution on external 22" monitor

    I have a Qosmio G20 and today I bought a Samsung 226BW external screen. The Samsung has a max/optimal resolution of 1680x1050px. The Toshiba manual sais the laptop supports an external screen resolution up to 2048x1536 ...
    I have now tried all kinds of settings, but the highest resolution I get on the external monitor is 1440x900 (- same as the laptop).
    1440x900 on the 22" screen is not enough for serious picture editing; it simply looks unsharp.
    What am I doing wrong? I deeply appreciate any answers/feedback; because if 1440x900 is all I can get, I have to take the xternal monitor back to the store ...
    if anyone is so kind !?
    Espen.

    Hi
    The available screen resolution depends on the graphic driver. You cannot choose the favorite resolution of 1680x1050 because the graphic card driver doesnt support it.
    Maybe a graphic driver update could helps.
    By the way; a inf file should be supplied by the monitor manufacture. You can install such file making right click and choosing install.

  • Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

    Guru's
    We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
    Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
    The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
    Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
    Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
    A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
    The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
    Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
    Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Essbase Server
    Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
    Framework Services, FR Print Services
    We have tried doing the following:
    1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
    2.  Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
          - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
         - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
         - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
    3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
    4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
    NETDELAY 2000
    NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
    Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
    Thanx

    Hi Rahul
    The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
    We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
    Thanks

  • Switched video settings on my Mac Mini and now the bloody thing shows "Invalid Format" on my TV (used as monitor for years) and I cannot get it to switch back.

  • Cannot get iTunes DJ to work

    No doubt it is something really obvious that I'm missing, but I cannot get iTunes Dj to work. If I click on iTunes DJ in the left column, right section of the window says "iTunes DJ" and explains that I can make a continuous mix, but there is no list of music. The play button is greyed out.
    The help file says "To select a specific playlist (instead of your library) for the live mix, choose an option from the Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window."
    but there is no Source pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Any ideas?

    Do you see the grey bar at the bottom of the screen when you select iTunes DJ, the one with the Settings and Refresh button, as seen in the picture on this web page? If not, then the bottom of the window may just be off the screen on your system so you don't see the Source selector. If that does seem to be the problem, try changing the resolution of your Mac's screen (Displays system preference) to the highest resolution. If it already is, try changing it to a lower resolution, then back. That may get the iTunes window to reappear..
    If not, open the Script Editor application, paste in the following text (up to and including the line that says "end tell") and click the "Run" button:
    tell application "Finder"
    set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
    end tell
    tell application "iTunes"
    set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
    set bounds of window 1 to margins
    end tell
    If the iTunes window is running off the screen, that should restore it.
    Hope this helps.

  • In wunderlust-brown content slideshow I cannot get the content to show in IE 8

    I am using wunderlust-brown content slideshow. I cannot get the content to show in IE 8. The picture shows but no content. I narrowed down the problem to a missing CSS attribute - .WLBSlideShow .article
    If I add .article to the end of the .story attribute (.WLBSlideShow .story .article) then I get content in IE 8 but the page no longer works properly in Firefox or Chrome.
    I want to know what CSS code is supposed to be in this file for the .article attribute. It is a simple problem and I hope I can get a resolution quickly.

    Now when I look at the documentation, I see that the error is for one of three reasons. The first is that the password does not meet password policies set on OIM. I left the settings as default and have made sure that the password I'm reseting it to does conform to this. In fact, I have even turned off the password policies on AD so that nothing on the AD interferes with this. The second issue mentioned is that it contains characters that Oracle doesn't support. I cannot get any more generic than upper case, lower case, numeric and no special characters but maybe I'm missing something here. The last one is _"the user ID of an OIM User contains characters in the non-native encoding of the Microsoft Active Directory system."_ Again, I couldn't be more generic and I'm only changing one character at a time.
    Now I'm a complete n00b when it come to OIM but I do have a lot of Microsoft AD experience. So if you can answer, please use small words. ;-)

    Hi,
    I have the same error with AD password sync connector (The OIM server rejected the setPasswordRequest).
    But I have changed the password for account AD with the same password from OIM (and in my case tree reasons of error are false).
    Can You help me please?
    Thanks
