Changing monitor resolution and refresh rate

Does anyone know how to change the monitor resolution and refresh rate on a Sun workstation?

Hi,
On Solaris 8 you can use the command fbconfig to do this job.
Please check the FAQ:
http://access1.sun.com/technotes/00921.html
and also man page of fbconfig.

  • HT202856 What resolutions and refresh rates does the MacBook Pro support?

    Why does this article provide lots of useful information EXCEPT the piece I want?  It does not show what resolutions and refresh rates the MacBook Pro supports over Displayport:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6008
    I've heard it only supports 4k at 30 Hz.  Is this true?

    For some reason Displays no longer shows that information, so I don't know what it is. However, the last time I saw the information on a 2009 MBP it was 75.
    I'd think there is a utility around that might provide the info like Display Maestro 1.1.7 or SwitchResX.

  • Looking for suggestions for a new display: What size, resolution and refresh is recommended?

    I've been using my laptop display, 15.6" and its just too small. I figured I'd purchase a display to plug into the laptop. I'd like suggestion on specs. I figured a 20 to 23 inch would work ok but I've seen some folks with dual screens. Lastly, I have no understanding of resoution, refresh rates to look for or brands to either look at or stay away from.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    The good news is that you don't need to worry too much about the specs -- just about any monitor you purchase will be OK.  First choose a size that fits in you work area, then pick the monitor from that range of products that has the highest resolution and refresh rates -- the monitors will all have very similar specs.
    I've been using PCConnection
    http://www.pcconnection.com/
    as my primary source for computer purchases for over 12 years and highly recommend it.  They have user's comments for most of their products, so you can get a feel for the satisfaction level of the products.
    I've never understood the value of having dual monitors, unless one needs to have a couple of real-time monitoring apps open at the same time for instant feedback about the data....

  • Your TV may not support this resolution or refresh rate.

    Hi All,
    In the last hour, my apple TV (3rd Gen) has changed the TV resolution (hookup via HDMI directly into a Samsung 720p LED TV). Everything is bigger. No issue since in the past I would just change the resolution manually to 720p 50Hz, but now it will not let me and it says the following:
    "Your TV may not support this resolution or refresh rate."
    Does this have anything to do with ATV latest software update? Is it that my TV is an older model?
    Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Best,
    Bonfoa

    Change the Apple TV resolution:
    Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
    The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
    Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.

  • Xorg and refresh rates

    I'm running Solaris Express 10 x86 4/05 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Xorg refuses to give me a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. This is using the i810 driver but it also happens with the VESA driver. Here's my xorg.conf:

    Thanks.

    I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
    First, I found this line:
    (II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
    Later on, I found these:
    (WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
    (II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
    (WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
    Trying standard mode instead!
    Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
    This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
    Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

  • Changing monitor resolution with proper aspect ratio

    My project size is 800x600 and I wanted to provide an option to the user to change their monitor resolution at 800x600 by clicking on button. I have also planned to do it by using buddy api xtra, and already tested it. The problem is, when I am doing this on a PC with panoramic monitor (native resolution 1920x1080), it got stretched. I know it's very natural (as the aspect ratio has changed ) and I can get it in shape by squeeze the width using 'draw.rect'.
    I noticed, there are some PCs with advanced display card that don't even get stretched, but shows the 800x600 resolution in proper aspect ratio by keeping the extra space black both sides. And I don't need to write any further codes (squeeze the width using 'draw.rect') to keep it in shape.
    The real problem starts here, I can't able to filter the above situations by any logical means. I wanted to write codes only for the PCs that get stretched, but I didn't able to find any support from Director to determine which type of display card has been attached. I need to know whether it will get stretched, or the display card can able to manage the aspect ratio.
    Any one have any solution in this matter?
    Please don't hesitate to ask if you need any more info.

  • Prevent OS X from changing Monitor Resolution

    I purchased a 19" LCD monitor the other day. It's a third-party FujiPlus FP-988D monitor. It has a variety of resolutions, however, changing to any of them ends up making it go "out of range".
    So, my problem is that I have a game, "Nemo" which insists on changing the resolution to play the game. I tried loading it up with 'option' and also tried doing command-M to get it into a windowed mode but neither works.
    So the game loads and the monitor heads 'out of range' and I have to quit it (command-Q) to get it to go back to normal.
    I would like to somehow force OS X to prevent resolution changes so the game is forced to use the current resolution or quit.

    Turns out the answer to this is my video card will not support other resolutions with the ADC port. It's too old.

  • Relation between resolution and sampling rate of an ADC

    Dear sir,
    Is there any relation between the resolution and the sampling rate of an ADC. If so please explain it in detail.
    If I use NI 9237 Module for the acquisition of signal from load cell, then what is the minimum time required by it to acquire one sample.If the sampling rate is 50KS/s and resolution is 24 bit, how will you caculate the minimum time required by it to acquire one sample. Please explain it in detail.
    According to my knowledge it would take 20microseconds. Is this is correct?
    Will this resolution also plays a role in that time?
    Thanks and Regards
    A.Giridhar yadav

    Hi Giridhar,
    For 9237, resolution is fixed to 24 bits and doesn't not effect by sampling rate.
    Therefore, you can measure up to 1/50k=20us time between sample at 24 bits with 9237.

    Sounds like you are editing a non-native format (something like h.264). If that is the case, convert it to ProRes LT  and try again.

    the poster is editing in the console, so no MP import/export should be required, that being said, the console does do a lot of caching, so if you don't see something, you might need to restart the console.
    you can restart the three or four Services marked "System Center", you should ge the same effect as restarting the server. that being said, restarting the server should not be required. if restarting the management services is really required,
    then there is probably some performance issue with your database or some performance issue with your workflow (first) management group server.

  • Changing screen resolution and rotation more easily?

    Hi!
    I frequently switch between two screen configurations of my LCD: the standard 1024x768 and 768x1024 rotated in portrait mode. The switching process is somewhat tedious:
    open sys preferences,
    select 90° rotation -> Mac OS switches to 1024x768 rotated
    (which my monitor doesn't support -> fuzzy display)
    click OK to confirm new resolution
    select 768x1024
    click OK in dialog
    click OK to confirm new resolution
    I wish I could use the menu bar thing to switch resolutions, but it doesn't offer rotation. Even if I could eliminate the two-step resolution switching, it would save a lot of trouble. I've tried editing the plist file in /Library/Preferences, but my mini seems to ignore it.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

  • Availability monitoring using ccmsping - refresh rate

    So I've configured my solman 3.2 to monitor the availability of other systems via the use of ccmsping.  I can see the other systems well enough, but the problem is the long time it takes for my solman system to become aware that a monitored system is no longer active.
    It can easily take 20 minutes for it to report that a system is unavailable.  When I say "report", I mean that the status is updated in the 'Availability and Performance Overview' monitor in RZ20.
    Even then, the only evidence visible is that the 'Availability' alert changes colour due to the % availability over the last 15 minutes.  The other alerts for Groups and Instances simply turn white because no information is coming from the child system.
    SAP help and the document "Availability Monitoring with CCMSPING.pdf" advice that monitoring frequency can be changed by changing the parameter values for the CCMS_AVAIL_LOGON_CHECK method.  I have changed these values, which have had no apparent impact on the response times for noticing that a system has become unavailable.
    Any suggestions?

    Hai Dirk,
    I have checked all the ways possible, we have sapms<SID> in the IP service name filed.
    Tried with 36<Instance number>, aslo tried with IP address in the host name filed but no luck.
    We have 4 PRD systems out of which 2 works and the other 2 is not working. The working systems are 640 systems and the other two systems which is not working are 620 systems.
    I have tried updating CCMSPING to the latest patch level as well.
    The services file in the CEN system is maintained with correct values.
    We have SAPROUTER running in our CEN system, and the entries can be found in my previous post.
    We are not using the router to connect because the systems which are working do not have any router string attached to them.
    Please let me know if you find any reason for the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Change video resolution and get it to be full screen? How..?

    Ok, so i got this small video clip i want to be in 720p. The "problem" is that its current video/image size is 640x480, and it is black on its left and right side. HOW do i edit the video so it gets full screened (and thereby stretched too) and in 1280x720 size? Like, when i play the video in media player and full screen it, it will be full screened WITHOUT those black tiles on the right and left side?

    But does either of you know the answer to my other question about the fullscreen? Like, when i go into fullscreen in my media player, there should not be any black lines on the left or right. I see many tv-series that works like this
    It's all in the maths. Your monitor Aspect Ratio is 1280 ÷ 720 = 1.78:1 (the norm for most commercial DVD's) also known as 16:9. Your video aspect Ratio is 640 ÷ 480  = 1.33 (the norm for traditional TV screens) also known as 4:3.
    If you have a 'semi-intelligent' modern widescreen TV you will often find that 4:3 programs look distorted because your TV has stretched the image to ensure no black bars top and bottom. You then have to manually switch, with your remote, the aspect ratio to 4:3 to make the image look normal - but this then leaves black lines left and right.
    But the entertainment companies know that consumers want shows that fill the screen without black bars. To do this for older shows they artificially zoom the original to take only a portion of it. But they take that portion in a 16:9 ratio. It looks good on TV BUT, and a big BUT at that, you have lost some of the original image. They are also doing this with feature films.
    Two examples that arouse my ire:
    'The Wizard of Oz'. Originally filmed in 4:3 (most films before, around 1957, were). But go to any video store and you can buy a widescreen version. But there never was a widescreen version of that film. All they've done is cut a 16:9 segment out of each frame and, figuratively, thrown the rest away.
    'Original Star Trek'. You can buy this in widescreen, or watch the TV widescreen version. But there never was a widescreen version - they are cropping it to 16:9 and throwing the rest away.
    You can usually tell if a film/show has been cropped: there will be many examples (frequently of close ups on peoples faces) where the top or bottom of their heads don't show.
    So to (finally) answer your question: to Share your video in a widescreen format you must crop your clips to a 16:9 frame - job done.
    Cheers,
    Neale
