Catalyst keeps resetting overscan [SOLVED]

I installed Catalyst to get my Radeon video card to stop running so hot, and that problem was solved. Went from around 170 F to near room temperature. However, now I have a new problem...
Every time I start X, I have to start up the Catalyst control center again, and move the "Scaling Options" slider to the left and then to the right again -- it shows a proper 0% overscan value at first but isn't actually doing that until I reset it, it's actually back at its default, somewhere right between 15% and 0%. It then works properly until I exit X, and I have to fix it again the next time I start X...
EDIT: I cross-posted this topic onto the Phoronix forums and someone gave me the solution:

(Optional 9b. if you have black bars normally, disable underscan (always after lightdm has stopped): sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0)]
I've found that you must restart immediately after this configuration in order for it to work.
EDIT(2): New update. From the linked thread:

I ran into this on my media center, which I'm using catalyst on until the power management improves on the OS drivers.
Thanks for this. I used set-pcs-bool instead and it worked.

Smart folders keep resetting

Hi everybody
I have made a number of smart folders but they keep resetting the rules that I have made for the folders.
I have a suspicion that it happens every time I sync. with my .mac account. But I am not sure.
Doe’s anyone have a good suggestion that can solve my problem.
Best
Lars Kudsk

Hi Kudsk .
Yes, this looks like a .Mac syncing issue.
First of all, in Address Book do File > Back up Address Book, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. It wouldn’t be the first time someone loses his/her entire Address Book because of syncing issues.
Now, set up things the way you want, then go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.

The Keyword.URL function keeps resetting to a different value.

I just downloaded Firefox 4, and normally what I would in Firefox 3.6, I would type a keyword in the URL bar. And it comes up saying that I'm searching using:
jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties
I don't know where that came from, so I opened about:config, went to keyword.URL and switched to Google.
Okay, it works now. I exit it, and I later on opened it back up. I put in a word again. The same thing came up from when I started:
jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties
I try fixing it again. It works now.
It seems the problem is the keyword.URL value keeps resetting, but I don't know how it got "jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.properties" to appear on it.
So, is this just a bug on Firefox 4, or am I just the only one experiencing it? And if so, how can I solve this problem?
I know I have like two other search engines available for use on my browser, but I mostly use the URL bar to search. Any solutions?

How can we get someone from Mozilla to correctly answer these questions instead of people like us? No offence, but there are different answers to this question all over the net and none of them are right. It is frustrating enough at time to drop Firefox altogether.

IPhone keeps Resetting

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing an issue with the iPhone6 where the phone, at random, keeps resetting itself? I will go to open an app, or maybe go to unlock the phone, or just swipe left or right and I'm taken to the white screen with the Apple Logo. After about a quick ten seconds, the phone is back up and ready to go. This happens twice an hour while using my phone, at least.
I purchased my original phone on launch day, and about two months later this started happening. I took it to the Genius Bar and without question they gave me a new phone. I setup my new phone as a new phone, just in case the issue was with my backup. Approximately two or three weeks later, the same issue started happening again. Went back to Apple, without question, another brand new phone. Now, two or three weeks later (again) my phone is doing the exact same thing. Each time it has been setup as new.
I,
1. don't understand what's causing it to be on a two-to-three week time issue where this starts happening, as opposed to immediately and;
2. because Apple is so quick to just swap the phone out, it makes me wonder if it's truly a software issue or not.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue, and if so what the outcome was?

I'm having this same issue. It started for me yesterday afternoon. I've restored it through iTunes but that did not solve the problem. I have an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow, but I'm still puzzled as to why it's behaving this way.

OSX keep resetting

Hello.
As the topic says OSX keep resetting itself. I have a MacBook, not C2D, 2Ghz with 2GB RAM. I'll describe it a lil' better below.
It started maybe a week back. I restarted my MacBook, but when the desktop loaded the dock and the iconsizes where set back to default. I thought this was strange but just set them back as I use to have them. Though I discoverd it was more to it. All programs keep reseting themself when I started them. I could change the settings and run the program without problems, but when I restarted, it was back to default again. So I booted with the MacInstall disc and did a repair though discutility there. It found some errors and fixed them, all good. Still I had the same problem when I restarted my Mac. So I decided to reinstall OSX, after that everything worked fine.
Until today when I got the same error, I restarted my Mac after a night's uptime. And I got the same error once again, everything goes back to default all the time.
Though I am sick of reinstalling OSX, takes quite some time and I wanna be able to solve this problem and know why this happends.
Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

My ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

my ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

The problem is the "screen saver". Normally after some time the backlight of your ipod is switched off automatically and a clock appears. This doesn't work properly and leads to resets.
The solution: You have to go in the main menu to "settings/backlight and activate "Always on". After that your ipod should work properly. To avoid a very low battery runtime now, you have to adjust the brighness settings to a low value.
This also solves problems like radomly skipping songs or stopping playback.
I really would like apple to solve this problem, but i doubt this will ever happen.

WRT 330N V1 keeps Resetting Cable Modem

I have the issue that the router (Wrt330N Version 1) keeps resetting my Modem connection. I have turned off the wireless portion of the router and it doesn't happen as often. I have tried to get my money back no luck, I have reinstalled the eprom update that tech support told me to do and still resetting. 10 times allready today that it has reset. Anybody have any suggestions other than throwing it away and buying something else! I have had several Linksys routers in the past and all have been great except this one. Yes I have the lastest eprom.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Connect your computer straight to the modem and check for a stable connection...If you have a stable connection then download the firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...
Then, unplug the power cable while holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Plug the power cable back in, and keep holding down the reset button for another 30 Seconds...
Release the reset button...Now re-configure your router...Hope it resolves your concern...

Help! My centro keeps resetting..

My verizon centro keeps resetting when I access the webpro function and I am using the online feature. Any suggestions?
Post relates to:

WebPro was for sale at one time from the Palm Store, and was included with the Zire71/72 also...
I'm guessing the OP may just be guessing at the name of the program. Hard to believe this old web browser got installed on his Centro, unless a major upgrade mistake was made by the OP...

Ipod keeps reseting itself

so after i had the trouble with my ipod last week and ended up replacing it at the apple store for a small fee of $32.05, this new ipod is giving me more problems.
so this new ipod keeps reseting itself. for example, i connected it to my computer and the "do not disconnect" sign won't come off and it's not connecting to itunes. so i reset the ipod. it finally connected and then i ejected the ipod no problem. so then from now on, it resets itself, leading me to restore the ipod. so i restored it, and the problem still occured. and then i reset it again and now it's working fine.
in conclusion, does anyone have some suggestions/comments/idea for this situation?

that's EXACTLY what is happening to me. i plan to go back to the apple store very soon because i've run out of ideas as to what to do to solve this dilemma. i'm glad though i'm not the only one with this problem although i am sorry you have the problem too lol.

Iphone now it says it needs to be activated and plugged into itunes. It wont let me do anything because it keeps resetting. Help please.

I cant coonect it to the computer because the iphone keeps resetting itself and the restore or activation cannot be completed. Do I just need to get a new iphone? I have a 3gs and dont want to get a new iphone. Also the iphones sim card wont work and I have tried to do a hard reset mutiple times.

Sounds like your phone was jailbroken. If it was, you will need to get another phone. That phone is permanently disabled.

User Settings keep resetting

I have an I-Mac. I keep using the get Info to set my preferance for opening photos and other items. I find that the computer keeps resetting them to the default settings. For example I want my .jpeg files to open with Adobe Photoshop but they keep resetting to preview. I want certain items to open in Firefox but it keeps resetting to Safari. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are doing nothing wrong. It sounds like LaunchServices is confused.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Ipod will not charge, keeps resetting, extremely low battery.

Someone please help!!
I adore my Ipod, its 2+, it was working fine, till a few months ago.
In the beginning, it stopped charging on the computer, it synced, but i would have to charge in on a Ipod radio thing first.
Then after awhile, on the radio, (it worked perfectly at first) the ipod would come up with the message, "This accessory not supported by Ipod", it would still play on it, movies, songs, and charge it, but the message would come up every often.
Now it refused to be recognized by the radio, and won't charge.
(yet if you press play the song and movies will play)
It had very little battery left so i bought a wall charger.
I tried charging with a wall charger and car charger!
Now its basically dead, and when i plug it on to the wall charger, the apple logo comes on, and it goes to low battery message, then apple logo..again again.
It just keeps resetting, so i took it off that.
Leaving on the charger for awhile won't work, because it just keeps doing that.
What do i do?
I can't restore it, because i'd have to charge it first!
(I got a new battery for it a few weeks ago, the battery life was way better, charged a bit faster, and it seemed to work better, but the computer still drained it)
Anybody have any ideas?
Please please please.
I swear i love it, but i'm going to throw it out the window soon.
-edit,
just to add, the first thing that went wrong, that started this thing, was when i got that -48 error, it doesn't do that anymore just to add

I have the same problem and sent my ipod to a the service center for a battery replacement. I was informed by them first by email that "Our technicians have performed full diagnostic checks on your IPOD 5TH GENERATION and have been unable to reproduce the symptom(s) you reported when you requested the repair. As a result of our tests, we can confirm that your product meets Apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality." then I was told over the phone that they reloaded the software and firmware and that it is working properly and is being sent back to me. Then, and heres the kicker, I received my i pod back with a form stating it was a hardware failure affecting another component. I have since called multiple times and no one can tell me where the hardware failure is but the ipod still says its a battery issue. Go figure i think apple knows exactly what the faulty part is that is causing this error and has no solution short of replacing the unit and they dont want to replace the units of all those with this hardware failure
