Dell Latitude E6400 won't recognize 1600-900 dpi settings.

Just bought a new HP W2071d 20" monitor and installed the driver on my Dell E6400 laptop.  Then, when restarting the monitor shows 1280 X 768 as the recommended resolution and will not let you set it higher.   Do I have a defective monitor?  Why isn't the driver allowing the higher native monitor resolution? 
I have tried just about everything including downloading and installing the newest Windows 7 drivers from HP.

The Laptop won't recognize the native resolution of the monitor no matter if I remove the HP furnished drivers or not.  I'm going to attach the monitor to my desktop and see what happens.  If the desktop recognizes the monitor and will allow 1600X900 resolution (It's a 1 year old Gateway desktop) then I will suspect some Dell issues.  If it won't recognize the 1600X900 resolution I will think the monitor is faulty.  The Dell detects the monitor but, again, won't allow the resolution it should.

  • Linux on the Dell Latitude E6400

    Hi,
    as there are probably more people than me out there using this laptop i thought it might be a good idea to collect problems/workarounds etc in a nice thread.
    For my old Inspiron 6000 there used to be such a thread on the gentoo forums and it was really a great help to get things working.
    (I am using the nvidia version, so if there are some problems with the intel graphics please post, so that we can collect them :-))
    So lets get to it.

    Okay, maybe I'm too naive, but I'm using Arch on a Dell Latitude D620 which is the pre-predecessor of the E6400, so this might help you as well.
    My mic didn't work at first either, but I just went to my KDE 4.2 Mixer --> configure channels and ticked the checkbox "Capture" and "Digital". Then back in the mixer interface I chose "front mic" from the input source dropdown menu and ticked the "Capture" checkbox.
    These might help you as well when it comes to sound:

    In my /etc/rc.conf the modules look like this:
    MODULES=(slhc tg3 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel
    soundcore !pcspkr !snd_pcsp !bcm43xx ndiswrapper)
    That worked for me under KDE 4.2. From your post I realize that you're probably a far more experienced user than I am, but maybe my noobish tipps might help you anyway (if you're using KDE 4). Sometimes it's the small things...

    I really want to get this laptop soon, but I'll be so irritated if I tried to install arch on it and it doesn't work. Thank you for your help.

    Well, from the 'first look' reviews (there's a first look review dated today!), it seems to be a brand new model, which means there won't be many folks who have tested it. It depends on what you mean by 'work' as well. Arch is almost sure to install a basic system, but things like suspending, cpu speed changes, and wifi usually take some work on most distros in my experience. One thing to do is to google for some of the components to see if linux users have had success. Two important ones are the video card and the wireless card. If those look good, then give it a try. You might need to work at it a bit, but I usually manage with help from the forums You could even write up your experience on a wiki so that others can benefit from your experience...

  • Dell Latitude D620 Won't boot after install

    I installed Solaris 10 via DVD on my D620. The install goes fine and completes successfully. When I try to boot for the first time, I just see a bunch of memory addresses on the screen only for like half a second. They just blink on the screen for a fraction of a second with no hope of even seeing (right after the SunOS trademark screen) and then it reboots. Constantly. I don't even get the change to see what the error message is.
    I'm on the latest BIOS from Dell and the HCL on Sun's website says this configuration is fully supported. Does anyone have any ideas how I can either find out what the error message is or fix it so it boots?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the tip. Yes it does have a SATA drive. I managed to get it working by editing the entry in GRUB:
    Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u3wos_10 X86 - pressed 'E' to edit
    kernel /plaform/i86pc/multiboot
    added "kernel/unix" (w/o quotes) to the above line:
    kernel /plaform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix
    Don't ask me why or how I figured that out or most of all WHY it works . It will boot fine after editing that entry in grub.

  • I want to install a mac monitor to a Dell Latitude PC.  I bought a VGA adapter but it still won't activate.

    I want to install a mac monitor to a Dell Latitude PC.  I bought a VDI to VGA adapter but it still won't activate.

    Easiest thing I found was to manually expand any open window you're dealing with; including a webpage. To do this look at the bottom right hand corner of the window pane itself. Just below the Up and Down scrolling arrows is a corner with 3 diagonal lines. Grab that and drag in the direction (up, down, right, left, diagonal) that resizes the window to meet your needs. Once you've done this the size will be remembered when you open the window in the future. I've learned Apple doesn't like "full screen" mode. Just as well since filling the screen with an open application hides anything else you have open. And the Dock doesn't highlight or display the open Apps. Hint: I've learned to use the F3 key a lot. That way I can see everything that I've opened and change applications.

  • Cannot print from IMac or Dell Latitude Laptop on Canon MX330 printer via Airport Extreme.

    Trying to connect a Canon MX330 printer to an IMac and Dell Latitude laptop via Airport extreme and having no luck.
    All devices recognize the printer, but when I try to print from the IMac it says that the printer is offline, even though it is not. The printer status on the IMac says offline until I clear the printer queue and then the status goes online.
    When I try to print from the Dell laptop the printer reacts, but nothing prints.
    I have run through all of the troubleshooting in the support section online. Any advice?

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • My old mac and 3g won't recognize my iphone4s - and the new itunes on my pc won't recognize the 3g

    Hi, I'm having issues syncing my information from two separate computers to my new phone.
    I backed up my old iPhone 3g on my iBookG4. The G4 does not support the iPhone 4s because it's too old and I cannot update to Lion or Leopard because it's too old.
    I have a Dell that I bought in 2009 (i know i know, it was cheap and i had to get it for a class i was taking) - anywho, I have downloaded the new version of iTunes for the iPhone 4s and this version of iTunes won't recognize the 3g - I'm guessing because it is so outdated.
    So, I can't get the old computer to read the new phone or the new computer to read the old phone.
    What I attempted was home sharing with iTunes and that got all my music and apps, but contacts and calendars I can't move.
    Any suggestions??
    thanks.
    ps this mac is so old that the letter a just popped off the keyboard

    Syncing of devices running iOS4 and higher requires iTunes 9.x and higher.
    iOS 4.3 and higher requires iTunes 10.x or higher.
    Regardless, iTunes 9.x and 10.x require Windows XP Service Pack 3.
    Is your Windows system current with all Windows updates?

  • IMovie won't recognize certain 'File extensions' ??

    Hi,
    can anyone help here. I use Handbrake to compress Movie files before I use Quicktime to 'export to web' option, then import to iMovie to then edit before submitting ti iTunes ( keeps the size down but still have good quality ). Anyway even though the files from Handbrake have either a .mov or .m4v extension iMovie won't recognize them, but if I then use QT export to web ( which in turn makes a folder with the new files inside ) which have the .m4v, iMovie will see it !!
    Any ideas please.
    The compressed file under Handbrake is small but good quality ( 2.3Gb down to 178Mb ) but if I use QT it then becomes even bigger ( 539Mb ) !!!!!
    Steve

    I'm new to Handbrake so could you tell me what do you mean by 'Don't include extraneous data tracks' ?
    Most people use HandBrake to convert DVD content (usually multiplexed M2V video and AC3 audio) to iPhone, iPod, TV, iTunes/Front Row files for viewing and/or iMovie '08 compatible files for editing. Since DVD content usually contains chapter data and the default setting for Apple device presets like TV normally default to include the chapter track data and (in older versions) may default to include an extra AC3 "passthrough" audio track, the output from such conversions are not supported by iMovie '08. If this is true, then re-exporting the content as you described would remove the extraneous data and explain why the files are incompatible with iMovie '08 before export and compatible after.
    However, you have not confirmed that the incoming files are, in fact, stored on DVDs or indicated which specific settings are being used for your HandBrake conversions. iMovie '08 is only "edit" compatible with files containing DV, AIC, Motion-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, and certain profiles of MPEG-4 or H,264 video compressed data. So there is always a secondary possibility here that you are selecting an incompatible form of output form HandBrake and then using the "Export for Web" option to accidentally convert the incompatible compression format to a compatible one since this option exports to H.264/AAC by default.
    If you have a much better way of doing this I am all ears especially if it makes my life easier, I am on a steep learning curve here ( sending video podcasts to iTunes but in good quality ).
    The normal approach would be to select the iPod preset within HandBrake (or within QT Pro, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, etc. if the source file is QT compatible) and convert directly to an iMovie '08 compatible file. The iPod preset would create a file equivalent to the "Desktop" (1500 Kbps) file created by the "Export for Web..." option but, as previously mentioned may contain a "chapter" track if you fail to turn it off. If you want a smaller output file, then all you have to do is reduce the target data rate in HandBrake. If you are currently editing the equivalent of the iPhone file (900 Kbps) using your current work flow, then reduce the target average bit rate to 900 or 1000 Kbps before exporting from HandBrake. Basically, this approach is faster since you do not have to export the data twice. On the other hand, it is a bit more complicated since you have to manually ensure any extraneous data tracks are de-selected and that the correct compressing preset/settings are selected.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

    My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my  Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does.  I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
    "ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

  • Aironet and Dell Latitude problems

    We have 3 access points, 2 1121s and a 350. All three are configured identically, using IOS and with 2 user vlans, one configured with WPA/WPA2 and LEAP, and the other with 128-bit WEP. Both VLANs are also doing MAC authentication to an ACS 3.3 server.
    Our Dell Latitude D610 laptops with Intel 2200BG wireless built-in can authenticate fine to both of the 1121 APs, but not to the 350. Has anyone seen anything like this, and do you have any suggestions for getting this to work with the 350? The 350 works fine when a client with a Cisco card connects. Thanks.

    I have a 600m which is the same chasis as the latitude d600. I also have the same wireless chipset. One of things I have found about the intel wireless is with droping connections both at work and home. Work we use 1200's wireless g cisco Aironets. Intel recognizes the problem and has resolved it with new drivers and software available at their site. since then I have not had any issues.

  • G5 won't recognize install disc after formatting

    Hi all,
    I recently found a G5 tower at my work that wasn't being used. It had a Debian on it so I formatted it with my OS 10.4 disc in order to install tiger but now it won't recognize any kind of startup disc.
    When I turn on the comp and hold option it gives me the window where I can choose my startup disc, but no disc is ever found. When I start the computer up with out hitting any keys or holding C it just gives me a globe icon and never finishes booting.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Mike

    Hi BDAqua and thanks for the suggestions,
    the CMD-OPT -SHIFT-DEL key combo didn't seem to have any affect on the computer, and I'm not sure what a firmware password is.
    I actually have a couple of install discs, one for 10.3.5 that has the 2Z691 numbering on it, and another for 10.3.7 that has a 691.... numbering on it. I'm not sure which of these came with the computer but they both say power mac g5 on them and neither of them has worked so far. I've also tried using a debian for ppc install disc with no luck on that either.
    When I start the computer up it'll either show me a folder with a question mark or square with a globe in it, and when I hold option it'll look for a drive to start from but will never find one.

  • Low batter screen when plugged in; Computer won't recognize iPod

    My iPod stopped working two days ago. When I try to turn it on the screen stays blank. I've tried resetting it (holding down all buttons), and the screen remains blank.
    When charging, the display flashes on to the "charging, low battery" screen, then goes back to black.
    I've left it to charge for 24 hours, and I get no response.
    My computer (and iTunes) won't recognize it when plugged in. I've tried manual searches, USB function scans, checked my cords, re-installed iTunes, and still nothing happens.
    Once iTunes did recognize the iPod, and said it "detected a device in recovery mode". I let it go on, but when the recovery pack was done downloading I got an eror #1602 pop-up telling me the device could not be detected.
    Is this a battery issue? Can I fix my device, or is it a lost cause?
    Thank you for your time.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
