Changing DPI settings [Solved]

I tried editing my xorg and adding "DisplaySize     338 270" so that my DPI would be 96x96 (on a 1280x1024 resolution) but my dpi doesn't seem to change after ctrl-alt-del or reboot. "xdpyinfo | grep resolution" still tells me Im running at 85x86 dots per inch.
BTW I have a GeForce 6600GT, Nvidia driver 190.42, and Samsung 940b monitor.

Is your resolution correct? 1280x1024 is what you want?
I don't use xorg.conf, so I don't know if this will work for you. Please, try one at a time.
* Modify your .xinitrc and add 'xrandr --dpi 96'.
* Add 'Xft.dpi: 96' to your .Xdefaults.

  • Change DPI Settings

    Is it possible to let users change the DPI settings on a terminal server running Windows Server 2008 x86 ?
    I see some hofixes for 2008R2 but nothing for x86.

    Hi Nik,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Regular users (and users in a remote session) can adjust many UI elements individually however, using the "Window Color and Appearance" in the Personalization Control Panel applet. In Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, the settings are accessed via "Advanced
    appearance settings...", after choosing "Windows Color" in the Personalization window. In Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, the settings are accessed via the "Advanced..." button, after choosing "Windows Color and Appearance" in the Personalization window.
    More information.
    The DPI adjustment is not available in a Remote Session (RDP)

    Hope it helps!

  • Cannot connect to wifi, cannot change network settings [SOLVED]

    Asus EeePC.
    lspci -k shows
    Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 adapter is the hardware, and appears to be working. Kernel driver in use is bcma-pci-bridge
    In Gnome, Wi-Fi status shows "not connected"
    "Select Network" shows a list of available APs, I click on ours which is set up as WPA2 PSK. Click Connect. Nothing happens. At all, no dialog for password, no attempt to connect seems to be processed by the computer. This happens with open networks as well (coffee shop or whatever). Click connect but nothing further happens.
    From the applet I can't even seem to be able to "Turn off" the WiFi at all.
    From within Wi-Fi settings in the applet, I can see a list of available access points but clicking on them does nothing. There is no available way for any user input, although I can click the toggle to turn off Wi-Fi from within there.
    I can't forget networks in my history here either: click "History" and I can see a long list of previous networks. I can check box for them all and say "forget" but then they're back when I open the history again.
    So it seems like my NetworkManager is just simply not working. Can't change the current state of "not connected" to anything at all.
    When I attempt to connect using Wifi-menu I get:
    Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
    >WPA Authentication/Association Failed {FAIL}
    When I attempt to connect to any network. It never asks for password.
    Gnome-Keyring is installed.
    Netctl is NOT installed.
    NetworkManager is installed and running according to systemctl
    I've been running this Arch install on this machine for two years. This is not a new install problem. No hardware can be changed on this machine, so it's not hardware related (unless the wireless device itself crapped out).
    Possibly related, I cannot shutdown the machine from within Gnome. I have to "sudo shutdown -h now" from a terminal. Seems to hibernate/sleep properly when the lid is closed though.
    All of the results of searching on this indicate usually the problem is multiple network config softwares installed at the same time, like netctl and networkmanager together. Or not having a keyring manager installed That is not the case here unless it is one of those that is broken, but they don't seem to be.
    I have no access to any wired connection at the moment at all, so I can't download anything to this computer at the moment. There's gotta be a way to get wifi working again, as it was just working last week. Haven't even done a pacman upgrade between when it last worked and when it stopped working.

    I did mention the hardware is a Broadcom BCM4313
    It may have been an issue with the Broadcom not working with iw. Not sure, as I haven't really changed things on this machine much (it's my wife's and I regularly update it but don't fuss with it much beyond "get it to work"). Like I said, the install is 2 years old, so compatibility may have even changed since I initially set it up.
    I'm currently at work and without direct access to the computer in question. So I'll get those results later tonight.

  • How Do I Stop HP X3500 Mouse Changing DPI Settings When I Hold Down Left + Right Buttons?

    I have purchased the HP X3500 wireless mouse, and frequently interact with applications which require me to simultaneously click on the left and right mouse buttons. Every time I do this the DPI value is changed (since holding them both down for 3 seconds each and moving the mouse changes the DPI). This is due to a feature with the mouse.
    How can I disable this? The mouse itself did not come with any bundled software.
    thx.

    In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have three options:
    Standard PC two button USB mouse
    Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, clickSystem Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
    Apple Magic Trackpad or MacBook Trackpad: To enable right-click, click System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.

  • DPI issues.  Resolution for background layer.  Possible to change DPI settings per layer?

    I have 8 layers.
    My Background layer is a 800kb JPEG.  When moved to Photoshop it becomes 30MB.
    I cant figure out any possible way to keep this background layer size small.
    I would like to lower the resolution, or quality, or anything of JUST THE BACKGROUND... but then my entire image changes quality.
    How can I fix this???
    Attached is JPEG.  When I move into my existing 7inch by 7inch canvas as a new layer, it adds 30MB to the file size.

    Thanks for the responses.
    I understand what you mean about the 12.5MB, but as soon as you add an additional layer with even a small image... it balloons the size of the file.
    Here is how you can duplicate my issue -
    1) Drag over my background jpeg file as a Background into Photoshop.  Save as PSD File.  12.5MB
    2) Open a separate PSD File and drag over a layer with an image or just the image (i used a 500kb image within a PSD file).  Save. File size doubles or triples!
    3) You can then delete the background... and Save again.  You are now left with a +-500kb PSD file.  Crazy!?
    The math just doesnt add up.
    By the way ---
    I was in CMYK mode, if I switch to RGB mode then flatten the file, I think this maintains resolution but loses layers.
    New file size is significantly lower.
    I was sending off my complete PSD files but I think I should Save As and then flatten each file before sending.  I assume this is the only way.
    Once I flatten though... there is no turning back right?

  • Where do I change the dpi settings for creating a jpg in Bridge CS5?

    I upload jpgs to an online site to be viewed in a browser. I've been using Bridge CS5 to batch process the jpgs from high quality pdfs.The settings I see when I do the settings to create the jpgs will only give me Maximum settings and the option to set it on 12 but when I open the jpg that's created in Photoshop, it's still 72. I would like to have at least a 150 dpi setting. I've searched and can't find any help online. What am I doing wrong, or isn't there any place to give me the option to change the settings to a higher dpi in Bridge? If this isn't possible, what do you suggest to make the process go faster? I'm using the Adobe CS5 programs.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    "Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers.  (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
    What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
    You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files  (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor).  In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display).  In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

  • How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    How do you change the dpi settings in iPhoto

    Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
    Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing.  Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • Howto change DPI, without xorg.conf if possible?

    So, once and for all I'd like to have DPI issue solved
    I want to have DPI set to 96. At this size fonts and everything seems at normal size, I don't want to argue about that...
    Practically,
    $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
    resolution: 121x121 dots per inch
    I want it to be:
    $ xrandr --dpi 96
    $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
    resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
    I have intel 965M chipset, using the intel driver:
    xf86-video-intel 2.6.3-3
    xorg-server 1.6.1-1
    So, when I run xrandr manually, it gets fixed to 96x96 but how to do it automatically?
    I think I tried all of the common methods that are advised to this problem, like adding
    Xft.dpi: 96
    into ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources.
    I also changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc into
    exec /usr/bin/X -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp
    but no result.
    I remember that DisplaySize option in section monitor in xorg.conf used to work but now doesn't. (Not sure however whent it stopped working and if it was also intel driver). I even put
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    into Section Screen...
    I would prefer if this could be done without using xorg.conf cause now I only have Option "DontZap" "false" there.
    I use kdm, if that matters.. but the dpi is wrong in all DEs.

    Okay, both of the recommended settings work.
    First:
    caskale13c wrote:Find the ServerArgsLocal value in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and add -dpi 96 (or 146) to it.  It will be located in the [X-:*-Core] section.
    Second:
    add
    xrandr --dpi 96
    into /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
    For making it work also with an external monitor I had to add
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    Virtual 1920 1080
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    into xorg.conf. This wasn't needed before.
    Anyway, now it all works fine
    Thank you, guys.

  • How do i change the settings on the music app so i don't view my purchase history

    I have updated to ios 7 and now the music app shows every song i have purchased even though they are not downloaded. Is there a way to change the settings so only the downloaded song appere

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.

  • How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

    I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
    I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
    My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network.  Step by step would be nice
    I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
    Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
    Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
    Will the change in security settings affect my print server?  If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
    For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
    Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news.  May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my  network and none were available. Does that matter?
    The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
    So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
    Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
    Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
    Thanks,for any help

  • Change of settings in OMSY

    hi
    My Functional consultants are having a problem.
    in tcode OMSY (Material Management View on Company Codes)

    Now he wants to change the settings to 2006 and 10.
    How to do that.
    Pls help me.

    hi christian
       Thanks for answering my query.
    This problem was solved by my functional consultant.
    the way they solved it is as follows:
    1 in mmpi they had entered the current year and period
      that is 2006 and 01 and initialized.
    2 in mmpv they entered the year and period in accordance  with V3.
    Thats it
    but technically you are correct.

  • While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

    While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings.  This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

    I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue.  I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
    The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off.  I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Then, test it out again.  Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

  • Permanent Crash related to changing display settings while FCP is open.

    Recently, the display settings (arrangement) on my two monitors started changing by itself while I was working in FCP 6.5. I'm using ancient monitors (Viewsonic MB90 and Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920. I just don't have the money to upgrade right now). Tis was annoying but I dealt with the problem by creating two different windows layouts. Then things got worse (the only thing I had done was install 8 gigs of additional memory on top of the original 2). FCP started crashing and now I can't even open the application. It doesn't react.
    Apple recently posted a not very informative acknowledgement of the problem with changing display settings while FCP is open, but it doesn't suggest solutions to my problem. It would be helpful to know a) what resolution and refresh rates are best for these old monitors and b)how to open FCP again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    THIS IS IT!
    Disabling the nVidia deep colors for 3d applications solved the uber-annoying "flicker-screen-settings-and-disrupt/crash-other-programs" issue. I specifically only disabled deep colors for Premiere, not for all 3d applications I use, because none of them have caused the same problem as Premiere.
    This display-screen setting issue probably occurred because I use a Dell u3011 monitor which displays Adobe RGB color gamut, not just sRGB.
    However, now this brings up another question with disabling deep colors (effectively disabling the Adobe RGB use of the Dell monitor):
    QUESTION: If I have CG-rendered frames that seem to be created in sRGB and Adobe RGB (in two different programs), what color space should I be mixing/editing them in?
    I'm somewhat of a novice with the color spectrum/gamut issue. From what I understand, if I edit both CG images in sRGB, I'll be losing color data from the Adobe RGB-created CG image. If I edit both CG images in Adobe RGB, will I create minor banding effects on the sRGB image because it doesn't have the color range that I'm editing in? Perhaps my question is more relevant to AfterEffects compositing of the images rather than simply/only editing them in Premiere.
    The end result is something like an architectural film/ flythrough.
    Thanks,
    -Matt
