Cannot set resolution with gnome-display-properties

Hey all!
After full system update my external display does not get detected/recognized properly by gnome-display-properties
Though before upgrade it worked just fine!
Tried to downgrade hal and xorg-server but without any success.
Any ideas how to fix?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. I do, like You, own a ASUS P4S8X motherboard and a MSI (Ti4800SE-VTD8X(MS-8900))videocard.
Because it was a brand new system i installed everything from scratch, so installed the MSI drivers for the videocard. Afterwards i thought i that it would be better to download the latest nvidia drivers. Since that time i have the same problem with the property settings of the videocard, Ghost Recon (original and supplied version) does not work anymore as goes for liveupdate of msi.
There is a solution but i think it is CRAP. You have to uninstall nvidia drivers and reinstall the original msi drivers.... bla bla bla... Why is it that there are a lot of known errors with msi/nvidia drivers in conjuntion with the liveupdate, supplied games and with the settings?? I would like to see a (driver)update from msi which is for mortals. I'm not the hacking and phreaking guy, and so are more. I have spent a fortune on this card so MSI get started!!!!!!

System-config-display, gnome-display-properties - inconsistent R5 U5 64bit

Hi all,
I have OEL Rel 5 U5 (64-bit) installed and running on an IBM x3200 which has Radeon integrated graphics, with a IBM ThinkVision LCD monitor (1280x1024 max)
Problem I have is eventhough system-config-display lets me select 1280x1024 I can't actually get it to switch. Upon log-off/log-in, reboot, restart, etc... it still returns to 1024x768 mode.
Running gnome-display-properties only gives me a choice of 1024x768, 800x600, or 640x480.
I've also tried xrandr and trying to force it to 1280x1024 but it tells me I only have the 3 choices given by gnome-display-properties.
My xorg.conf file is configured with 1280x1024, 1024x768, and 800x600 modes, so I'm baffled at where gnome-display-properties and xrandr are getting their mode choices...
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Based on Xorg log I'm guessing the monitor driver just will not support the higher res and apparently that's where 'gnome-display-properties' gets its info regardless of what I try in Xorg.conf.
I'll see if I can manipulate the monitor settings and see where that gets me...
I see the following in the log:

Cannot set sga_target with db_block_buffers set

Hello Oracle Community!
I'm trying to set a sga_target on my Oracle 10g R2 database but it shows me the following message: Cannot set sga_target with db_block_buffers set
What exactly's the impact on disabling db_block_buffers parameter? Is it better to do while the database's not being used?
Thank you very much!

K- wrote:
@Aman
This database uses SPFILE, how do I proceed to erase the db_block_buffer on it? The only way's using the CREATE PFILE FROM SPFILE command? Do I have to shutdown my production database if I execute it?
ThanksYes, this is a major change, you will have to bounce. Probably the way to go would be to create pfile from spfile, copy that away somewhere safe, edit the pfile, shutdown and startup with the pfile. If you've made a mistake at this point where it won't come up, you can startup without the pfile if you need to, or keep trying to fix the pfile. When you are up, check that the parameters are what you think you did, then create spfile from pfile and bounce. Of course, if performance then goes wacko, you can go back to the saved pfile until you figure out what went wrong.
You can try with the sizing you are currently using, then after running for a while use the advisors to tweak. Note that with sga_max_size it can vary by platform and configuration whether you use the difference between target and max, so platform determines whether you should make them the same (see the thread sga_max_size vs sga_target ) . If they should be the same, you'll have to bounce later when you tweak. Get familiar with the HIST views that record the self-tuning changes as they happen.

Setting preferences for hyperlink display properties

I want all new hyperlinks created by InDesign and InCopy users at my site to have a certain set of properties. I want them to be sort of orange, with a thin dotted line around them. This is not so that they can be exported to pdf with buttons, but just so that we can preserve links in text for a print paper which is later going to be exported to the web, and I have a script that expands them into html at that point.
But I can't seem to find any preference that I can set that will allow me to set default display options for all hyperlinks newly created by users. Hyperlinks used to show up automatically as black rectangles for us, and now they show up invisible. So because I have personally witnessed some change in the default behavior, I feel sure there must be a preference I can set somewhere. But it's possible that was just the switchover from standard behavior in CS4 to standard behavior in CS5.
Any ideas?

Sorry but no. There are no viewing preferences for the iTunes Store.

Graphics card issue/display resolution with 30" display

I've got a PowerMac G5 with a ATI Radeon 9800TX graphics card. I recently bought a 30" Apply Cinema Display but I can't get the display resolution on the computer to go any higher than 1280x800. I've read through some of the other postings and tired moving the cable from one DVI port to the other but that didn't work. If I don't get this thing working properly soon...Apple is going to get this monitor back.

I bought the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac Edition
Do you mean the PC & MAC Edition?
Sometimes if I reboot it several times it works. When it works it's great resolution. The problem is every time you power down it's a battle for the computer to boot up. So, I took the card out until I can figure out why it's causing problems during start up. I followed the instructions to the letter when installing the card. First the software, then remove/replace the card.
Any suggestions as to why the computer sometimes boots up and other times not?
Probably a bad graphics card. Some versions of that card had that problem with some G4s, but worked with G5s. Maybe the current version fails on both G4s and G5s.

Cannot set FlashVars with Flash ActiveX 10.1.53.64

Hi,
My external container isn't able to set FlashVars since I upgraded to Flash version 10.1.53.64. What's the matter ?
A simple for loop didn't list anything in the loaderInfo.parameters object (for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)).
It didn't happen with any older Flash version.
Environment:
Windows XP SP3
Container: Excel 2003, set FlashVars through VBA code
Flash ActiveX version 10.1.53.64
Thanks,
Rico

Nobody has encountered the same problem?
As a precision, I can set the FlashVars property through VBA code, but the FlashVars string remains empty after setting the variable and in my Flex 3 application, the variable "loaderInfo.parameters" did not contain anything (nothing is listed using a "for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)" loop.
The same program used with Flash 10.0.45.2 lists parameters set through VBA code.
Any answer will be appreciated.

Advanced gnome-display-properties like in Ubuntu?

Hi,
I've seen this nice randr-Gui in Ubuntu
and would like to know if anyone patched gnome to make this handy utility avaliable.
Maybe there is already a PKGBUILD?

It will be in Gnome 2.24. Wait until all Gnome related packages hits testing.

Gnome-font-properties

I recently switched my desktop machine over to Arch after being a long time Slackware user. After installing Gnome 2.6 I'm experiencing problems with gnome-font-properties. It flat out won't start, it crashes every single time. Starting it from terminal gives the following error
[john@metatron ~]$ gnome-font-properties
(gnome-font-properties:1782): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-value.c: line 837 (gconf_value_get_string): assertion `value->type == GCONF_VALUE_STRING' failed
** (gnome-font-properties:1782): CRITICAL **: file fonts.c: line 824 (pango_font_description_from_string): assertion `str != NULL' failed
Any ideas?

just looking at the error text will give away what's wrong:
"assertion 'str != NULL' failed" -> if this fails, it implies a string is NULL
so some string is null, let's look at the previous error:
"gconf-value.c: assertion 'value->type == GCONF_VALUE_STRING' failed" -> if this fails somethign which should be a string is not a string (meaning null most likely)
where did this error come from? gconf-value.c : most likely the gconf parsing routines.
your gnome configuration is borked.... if you messed with it by hand, try and fix it, or just get one of the configuration GUIs

Cannot set display resolution after upgrading to Mavericks

I have early Mac Mini connected to KVM stitch. Over the weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and it "dowgraded" display resolution from 1920x1200 to 1600x1200 and everythign looks streached. 1920x1200 no longer shows on the list in display properties (1920x1440 shows but it does not look good on my screen). I googled Option key trick and hitting "Scaled" while hold Option key does show some additional resolutions, but not the one I used to have.
Connecting Mac directly to the monitor allowed me to set proper resolution and after removing monitor and pluging mac back into KVM things "held" untill Mac goes to sleep or until reboots.
I am aware that my KVM switch does not communicate EDID but things did work just fine before upgrade to Mavericks.

Hello curtdav,
It sounds like you are getting a graphical anomoly when unplugging an external monitor. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

How to set up display properties for a crosstab is CSS?

I am woundring how to setup css class and code like in this tutorial.
myalerting.css ?
Set up display properties for a crosstab: Design Studio 1.2 - YouTube.
Design Studio 1.2: Set up display properties for a crosstab
if you have sample file please share I am sure other can be befits from as well.
I would like to use color display on numbers or icons in seperate column if the value in certain range or a value is below or avove business needs.
Thanks.

Kevin,
I could not get this to work on my installation; perhaps you can review and "run with it" or someone better with CSS can assist.
The gist of it is there is a class .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert1Background to define the status symbol for the alerts
Based on your Exceptions in the BEx query, Good 1 is .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert1Background
Good 2 is .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert3Background
etc... Bad 3 (red symbol) is .sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlert9Background
I tried the following custom CSS on the crosstab, note using IE (which now we can no longer use until Microsoft patches)
myAlerting.sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault.sapzencrosstab-DataCellAlternating{
background-color:#F9F9F9 !important;
myAlerting.sapzencrosstab-DataCellDefault{
background-color:#FFFFFF !important;

I didn't want to hold you up and for sure I hope there is someone in the community who could help. I'll try again when we can use IE

Reader 10.1 issues - with 150% Display setting

I've waited a long time for the latest version of Reader (10.1.0.534) which came out yesterday. I keenly updated to it today and went testing (with my fingers crossed), only to find that it still doesn't fix the issues I'm encountering with my PCs Display set to 150% (Win 7 SP1 x64) - all the issues are all still there.
Firstly - when using under the latest IE9 I've noticed the following:
The top toolbar won't work and clicking on any button has no effect
The bottom (floating) toolbar is similarly ineffective
Somehow after I found 2 above, I've managed to loose the bottom floating toolbar altogether (and alt-F8 or F8 wont bring it back - not that its vital)
Right Clicking on the screen brings up an option panel away from the mouse
When used as a standalone app (again at 150% Display setting in Win 7) I've noticed:
The illumination of the Close, Maximise and Minimise buttons when the mouse is rolled over them is irregular and if the mouse becomes stationary on any of those buttons, the illumination goes.
Setting Display to 100% (or even 125% from provisional testing) seems to elliminate these bugs but is Adobe going to buy me some binoculars so I can see the tiny buttons and fonts on my HTPC screen from 6' away...
In this day and age of Windows coming with a perfectly capable Media Centre interface, many users of HTPCs have them set up with high resolution monitors (or TVs as the monitor) and leaving the display set to 100% is no good for regular PC functions (such as web browsing or pdf reading).
Please fix this Adobe. I've already applied to be a pre-release tester (and my application hasn't been picked up/followed up). I just feel I'm getting my moneys worth out of this product!

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Best way to set up two thunderbolt displays and thunderbolt ethernet on a Late 2013 MBP with only 2 thunderbolt ports?

I have a late 2013 MBP with only 2 thunderbolt ports. I want to set up two external displays (both have usb ports on the back but not thunderbolt so I can't daisy-chain) but one of my thunderbolt ports is being taken up by the ethernet adapter. Is it possible to convert one of my displays to plug into my open HDMI slot? Or is it better to use the two thunderbolt ports for the two displays and switch the ethernet to the slower usb adapter?

You can use a HDMI to DVI adapter if the display resolution is not greater than 1920 x 1200.
<http://startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/HDMI/>
or you could use wireless for your network connection.

If you use 5GHz, it should be nearly as fast as Ethernet.

How to get full resolution screenshots from iPad with Retina display?

A coworker in another state has an iPad 3 with Retina display. I need him to email me some screenshots from his iPad. The native resolution is 2048x1536 yet every screenshot he sends me is only 1280x960 when opened in Photoshop. We've tried copying and pasting an individual photo in the mail message, as well as going to the camera roll, selecting 1 or multiple images and then sharing to a mail message, but all I ever get is 1280x960. This happens regardless of what the screenshot is of (either a specific app or just the iPad home screen).
Why aren't I getting full 2048x1536 screenshots? What do we need to do to get them? Thanks.
Mark

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
