Change Screen resolution in solaris

Hi
How can I change the screen resolution in either cde/java desktop? I remember setting the resolution to 800*600. But after installation the screen resolution has become 640*480 and everything is big.

How`s about a little more info ?
Are you running a SPARC machine or a PC ?
If you have installed on a PC, simply bring up a terminal window and type : kdmconfig
A little more involved if installed on a SPARC machine.
Good luck .................JRH.

Problem to change screen resolution in MB Intel DG41 with video on board

Hi, I need some help as soon as possible because this problem it´s make me difficult my job. I have installed the MAC OS Snow Leopard 10.6.2 in a Motherboard Intel DG41 with micro Core2Duo and video on board of this motherboard and don´t let me change screen resolution. I have a display of 22´ inches and the panel to change the screen resolution only mark 1024x768. I think the more likely it is that the system does not recognize me the drivers to this chipset of video. I searched everywhere on the internet but I have not found the solution.
Thanks Fernando

Change Screen Resolution or not Change Screen Resolution?

I mean is it possible to change screen resolution with Java?
I read some topics (not in this forum) that is impossible. I know there is a method to set at full screen a frame with the favourite resolution but does it effectively exist a method to set the screen with a favourite resolution?
For example:
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setUndecorated(true);
        frame.setIgnoreRepaint(true);
        device.setFullScreenWindow(frame);
        if (displayMode != null && device.isDisplayChangeSupported()) {
            try {
                device.setDisplayMode(displayMode);
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
                System.err.println("EX: " + iae);
        ...the device.setDisplayMode(displayMode) always throw me an exception: Invalid Display Mode (or something like that) with all permitted display modes (640by480, 800by600, 1024by768, etc...), with all permitted refresh rates, with all permitted color depths.
Illuminate me please!
Thanx in advance!

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Sorry to say reloading WebOS did not help this issue on my TP. contacted Support and was told to send it.Even sorrier to say that my TP is now lost. My tracking number reports it as delievered on Dec 5, but HP has no record of it.When I got back on Chat they are now also telling me that my TP serial number is a EU model, even though my box clearly states HP Touchpad ,US, 1.20,32gb,Wifi.
Not sure what that even has to do with it being lost now..if it is as they say and no warranty on it in US I just want it sent back.

Another feature to allow users to change screen resolution to HD for gaming

I liked k3 Note, smartphone which is filled with lots of professional features. Can you add a control to change screen resolution to HD for games. Lots of people are there which are thinking that other phones' gpu are better and the Mali t760 m2 not so good.

Hi
In case someone else encounters the same problem, here is some more information.
The high refresh rate is quite visible in Device Manager. It would refresh every one or two seconds. The cause seems to be a conflict between a Fingerprint software installed during the Task sequence and the Validity Sensors Drivers.
I made a Scan for hardware change in Device manager and saw that a few devices were appearing as unknown. Right click, update drivers from local cache solved the problem.
I cancelled install of the fingerprint software and did not encounter the problem anymore.

Screen Resolution in solaris 10 b69

Hello
I have installed solaris 10 (10/04) in VMWARE and on my Toshiba satelite 2410-303 and there is no way to change its screen resolution. It keeps its 640x480 nomatter how many times i have tried to change it with kdmconfig. Keep in mind that i have tried in solaris 9 and in previous versions of solaris 10 express several times with success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

First you have to check whether you're using the Xsun or the Xorg
X11 server. See file /usr/dt/config/Xservers. I think the default with
s10 b69 is the Xorg server. You've the option to configure the other
X11 server by chanhing /usr/dt/config/Xservers.
With Xsun, you can change the screen resolution using the kdmconfig
program. For a vmware environment, the XF86-VMWARE driver
should be used.
For Xorg, you can create an X11 server config file by running
/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig. I'm not a vmware user, but I guess that you
can select the "vmware" video driver, and configure approriate
screen resolutions.

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

Auto Changing Screen Resolution

Can anyone tell me if it possible to get Director to change
the screen resolution setting of a PC or Mac when playing a
Projector. At the moment my projector is set to run at 1024 x 768
but our boardroom PC displays at 1920 x 1200. I don't want users to
have to change the screen settings themselves and would like
Director to automatically change it when playing and then change it
back when exiting. Is this possible?

There are quite a few xtras that can do that. BuddyAPI for
example is
one of them. It is free to use up to 2 commands, so you could
do this
for free.

Changing screen resolution with a button

Hi,
I would like to ask if there is a way for an interface to change the screen resolution of the computer? I am wanting to build an interface that loads an interactive camera that works with processing however I am needing it to be at the resolution 800*900 as the webcam screen is too small on a full 1680x1050 resolution.
Is there a way for the flash application to change the screen resolution with a button click? Are there any alternatives to this?
Thank you
Jess

It is to display a portfolio at my design school for assessment, they will accomodate any necessary things that i may need for assessment viewing so it is very important to me.
Do you know what programs will work with this? What program would i have to install?
I only need to do this for my assessment so it is almost a desperate search for something that would work.

Changing screen resolution

Hi Everyone,
I'm quite sure that it is not possible to change the screen resolution from within a running java program. The problem is that my boss won't believe it until he reads it in the spec. Does anyone out there know where to find a anything about it the specs?
Thanks in advance
jan

Hi! The screen resolution is a function of the underlying OS and cannot be changed from a Java program, unless one resorts to JNI. However, the screen resolution can be retrieved from a Java program. Look at the docs for the getScreenSize() and getScreenResolution() methods in the java.awt.Toolkit packges. Note that these methods are abstract. The actual implementation depends upon the vendor.
Perhaps you can ask your boss to search the Java docs for methods that allow Java code to change the resolution w/o resorting to JNI. We'll all be glad to know! :-)
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Why Does The Display Cable Length Change Screen Resolution?

I have a Power Mac running two 23" Samsung Displays using 6' cables. This has worked fine for 3 years. Recentily I tried to use 15' cables, but it changes the resolution of the displays. The resolutions are not even the same.
Any ideas on this? The 1st image shows the screen resolutions with the shorter cables. The 2nd image shows the resolutions with the longer cables.
Thanks!

Do not use the menuBar item for debugging. It shows only "greatest hits". The full range you can select from will be shown in:
System Preferences > Displays
The DVI connector on the computer outputs a "regular" VGA signal in the blade at the end and the four pins around it, plus H-Sync (which is in the top row of the grid next to them). Its "adapter" just swaps the signals around.
The Mini DisplayPort adapter asserts a signal to the Mini DisplayPort which requests VGA-compatibility mode, and the interface produces an approximation of VGA.

Cannot change screen resolution on an Ultra 5 using m64config

I have an Ultra 5 with Solaris 2.6 connected to a Xerox XR6-19Dw 19" widescreen monitor with 1440x900 pixels. This workstation was set up a long time ago, so I do not know exactly how it has been set up. The screen resolution is set to 1280x1024x60 and it looks very blurry due to the mismatch between LCD pixels and the resolution setting. First I tried m64config -res 1440x900x76 try. This just turns the screen all white, luckily it reverts to the old setting after 10 seconds. Then just for fun I tried m64config -res 1280x1024x60. This also turned the screen all white. I have heard there is also a way to set the screen resolution using the boot prom, but that this is not necessary because m64config should work. It is very important that I do not mess up this workstation, but the eyestrain is a big problem. Is there a safe way to fix this?

Get a different monitor. Use one that is far less capable and has an old-style 4:3 screen ratio (not a wide screen).
The integrated graphics of the Ultra5/Ultra10 platform has only 4MB of frame buffer RAM and defaults to Sun's screen output of 1152x900 at 66Hz refresh. In fact, very early Ultra 5 systems had only 2MB of frame buffer RAM for the integrated graphics. The hardware is incapable of providing anything like what you are asking for.
If you don't care about color depth, the 1280x1024 resolution you currently see is the highest you're going to get. There is absolutely no chance for any wide-screen settings. If you ever hope for 24bit color, you will have to go down to the 1152x900 setting or more probably down to 1024x768.
You're system is a design from 1997 that first shipped to paying customers in 1998.
I think you are hoping for too much out of that dinosaur.

Changed screen resolution in error

I accidentally changed the screen display for the mac mini and it went black and now says "please change display resolution." How can I change the resolution without seeing the display?

Hi
I have the same problem as Henryhbmains and I have tried exactly what you describe without positive result.
One thing I do not understand is that Apple OSX does not have a "safety switch" like in other operating systems where you have to confirm within 15 seconds or the screen resolution will automatically switch back.
I have now wasted a lot of time and what I hoped to be my first time happily with a Mac turned out to be my first time with a Mac wasting a lot of time and getting so disappointed.
Would you have any other suggestions - that would be very helpful
Thank you

Change Screen Resolution = Mouse Pointer Disappears!

I am just moving to Arch from Ubuntu which i have used for several years. I am not a novice to linux, but I certainly don't know everything!
I installed arch on my pc last night, an old athlon xp with a radeon 9700 pro. I was going to try out KDE so I followed the beginners guide and successfully set it up. It booted and all was fine. Well except it set my resolution to 1024x768 and I wanted it at 1280x1024 which the monitor handles and is what I used in Ubuntu. So I opened the utility in KDE, based on xrandr I believe, and saw the 1280x1024 resolution. I selected it and Applied and the pointer disappeared. I could move my mouse and see the effects of the pointer hovering over buttons and other fields. So I managed to restart the machine thinking that would fix it, nope, still no dice. So I reverted to 1024x768 and all is good, except I would like to get more on my screen....
Also since I am more familiar with Gnome I thought I would remove kde and install gnome hoping it may make a difference. I successfully removed KDE and installed Gnome, went to change the resolution and had the same problem.
I am not sure what other pertinent information I can give. I will do my best to feed information to get this working. Thanks in advance.
Dave

Same problem, in a PC Atom N230 with Intel Chip 950, in new fresh Archlinux installation, but with last Gnome. After this, i have installed KDEmod 4.3.3 and the cursor show fine, only in Gnome cursor not show.

Edit: Oh, there are other post about this mouse cursor bug, sorry:
