Determine the type of video card

Hi
How to determine what type of video card I have with command line utilities(not scanpci)?
SuperProbe, lshw no works on Solaris 10.
Thanks

You can try prtconf(1M) . But this will only provide the PCI IDs.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

What type of video card should I upgrade to?

I want to upgrade to Bryce 6.0... it has new features I want, plus, it is designed to fully utilize the dual processors in my G5.
But it requires a 128MB video card with OpenGL capability. My G5 came with (and still has) a 64MB GeForce FX 5200.
1) So what type of video card should I get?
And I'm also concerned about the heat (and, to a lesser degree, the noise from a fan)... I've been checking out the ATI website, and a lot of their video cards require a 300 watt power supply.
2) Have any of you experienced problems with with heat from a video card? My loft is fine this time of year, but it gets a little warm in the summer months, even with the breezes off of Lake Michigan.
Also, are there any other benefit to having a high-end video card?
I am open to all suggestions, criticisms, tips, recommendations and ideas. I have no brand loyalty when it comes to video cards. Just don't try talking me out of upgrading to Bryce 6.0.
Thanks!
Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAM, Barracuda HD

If you don't need anyting high-end, check into the ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM. ATI's 800XT is a very popular card for AGP-equipped PM G5s like yours, but more costly.

How do I find out what type of video card I have?

I just want to know what to do to know what type of video card I have. What steps do I take to find out?

Go to "About This Mac" under the Apple menu. Select "More Info..." and then "System Report...". Look under Hardware>Graphics/Displays/ Your video card(s) will show up at the top.

Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
Is it compatible or not?
If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
Thank you in advance for your help.

If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

How to determine the type of an existing iView

Hi,
While creating an iView using wizard there is a big list of type of iViews. But after creation of iView, how do I determine the type of iView. Which attribute or property of iView holds this information?
-Lave Kulshreshtha

You can copy and paste the existing Iview changing the name and ID if u want to replicate the same.
Also, when you create a new iView from a template, you get a list of them e.g SAP BSP iView etc.
Now what you see in the code link is much similar to what you see as a list of templates when u create iViews. So its pretty simple.
I hope this helped you.

Determining the "type" of a SQL statement

I'm using the Oracle thin driver with my JDBC program.
I want to be able to accept a String containing a SQL statement from the user and execute it. If it's a select statement then present the rows returned in a JTable, otherwise retrieve the return value for the command (eg INSERT, DELETE, etc).
Is there any "readymade" method in JDBC or Oracle driver to determine the type of a SQL statement in this sense. Or do I have to parse it myself? (Imagine having to write code to strip comments out etc!)

There is no "readymade" method. But an easy way to check will be to check the first 6 charchters of the string.
You could use
newString = SQL.substring(0, 5); to obtain the first 6 characters.
if the characters are "select"
//do select things
else
// do insert/delete whatever things

Determining the type of a field-symbol

Hi!
I want to create a logical expression that determines the type of field-symbol that was passed in to a function.
i want to do something like this:
IF imported_fieldsymbol IS OF TYPE some_type
ENDIF
how do you create such an expression in ABAP?
regards

Hi,
You can use the RTTS - Run Time Type Service.
Try the sample code
TYPES my_type TYPE i.
DATA: my_data   TYPE my_type,
      descr_ref TYPE ref to cl_abap_typedescr.
START-OF-SELECTION.
descr_ref = cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( my_data ).
The hierarchy of RTTS classes are as follows,
CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR
|
|--CL_ABAP_DATADESCR
|   |
|   |-- CL_ABAP_ELEMDESCR
|   |--CL_ABAP_REFDESCR
|   |--CL_ABAP_COMPLEXDESCR
|       |
|       |--CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR
|       |--CL_ABAP_TABLEDESCR
|
|--CL_ABAP_OBJECTDESCR
     |
     |--CL_ABAP_CLASSDESCR
     |--CL_ABAP_INTFDESCR

HP 6300 using the built in video card and a quad card to support 6 monitors.

I am try to configure a HP 6300 Micro Tower to support 6 monitors. I have installed a NVIDIA NVS510 card and installed it but not the built in video card is disabled how do I enable both cards to work at the same time?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for the Pro 6300.
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03612810/c03612810.pdf
Please take a look at chapter 3, page 23.
There is a bios setting to enable/disable the onboard video.
Integrated Video (enable/disable). Use this option to disable the integrated video controller
when another video controller is present in the system. Default is enabled.
My assumption is that when you add a PCIe x16 video card, the onboard video is automatically disabled in the BIOS.
See if you can change the O/B video setting back to Enabled to see if that will allow both video devices to work at the same time.
If the setting is grayed out or it enables the onboard video but disables the PCIe x16 card, then I guess it can't be done.

How can I programmatically determine the capabilities of a card under NI-DAQmx (e.g. max sample rate, number of AI/AO/CTR channels, etc.

Is there a DAQ_Get_Device_Info() equivalent for NIDAQmx? I need to iterate thru all the devices on my system, and build up a list of device capabilities. The system may include M-series and E-series cards.

Attached is a program I've used in the past to determine number of AI channels. It could be easily modified to check for AO or digital or counter. Also, there is a ton of properties that you have access to (i.e. max sample rate, max/min voltage inputs, etc.) that are accessed as properties of the type of channel, or timing properties, as opposed to properties of the board. Check out the DAQmx C Reference Help (Usually at Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ). Expand the NI-DAQmx C Properties, and look at the List of Channel Properties, and Timing Properties, etc.

Determine the type of connection & set webcam width/height

Hi, two quick questions:
1. Is there a way in ActionScript to determine what type of connection is being used (e.g. P2P or FMS)?
2. Is there a way to set the width/height of the webcam picture? I currently extend the WebcamPublisher class to access the _camera instance and use the Camera.setMode() method, but it looks like that doesn't have any effect whatsoever.
Thanks in advance,
Michiel
PS: I'm aware of the captureWidthHeightFactor method, but I really don't like that approach, as it's not really clear what dimensions are being used for the video. I would like to set the dimensions myself, like when using the Camera.setMode() method.

Hironmay wrote:
For you height/width part, you can use resolutionFactor API in webcamPublisher as captureWidthHeight API is deprecated. The default width and height gets multiplied.
Ok, I'm using resolutionFactor now, but I'm not sure what the difference is. captureWidthHeightFactor is not really documented (it's there, but pretty unexplained), but the resolutionFactor uses multiples of the default width/height. I assume it does the exact same thing? (By the way: the resolutionFactor is not documenten on livedocs, only in the local documentation received as part of the zipped SDK.)
And still if you want to set your own native width/height , since you are already subclassing WebcamPublisher, just subclass the function createMyStream and add your native width and height. See that function in the player 9 source code of WebcamPublisher provided.
I'll look into that, for now resolutionFactor will have to do. (For testing purposes all video parameters have to be adjustable on the fly, and I unfortunately am already very short on time.)
One thing I forgot to mention in last mail, you can only have P2P with player 10 and you need to use player 10 swc for any verification of P2P. Player 9 will be always FMS.
You may have just saved my life! I was indeed using the player 9 swc, and tried the isP2P property, but didn't get it to work. And since it's not documented I labeled this as "deprecated" and dropped it. Great to see that it really is in there.
Also, the difference between the player 9 and player 10 swc you just explained answers another question I had (but totally forgot about). When connecting, the console always showed:
#FMSConnector# Wed Jan 6 10:52:11 GMT+0100 2010 is using RTMPS? true
This gave me the idea that the P2P service was unavailable. I'm glad to see that this isn't the case.
Thanks for your rapid replies everyone, I really appreciate it!

Determine the type of the caught exception

Hi!
Here is my problem :
I'm using a web service and the method I call throws different types of Exception (RemoteException, ServiceException, etc...)
And, the reaction to the caught exception depends on its type, that's why I need to determine what type of exception i've caught. I know that with C# I use the boolean function is :
if (exception is TypeOfException1)
// associated reaction
else if(exception is TypeOfException2)
// associated reaction
}Is there any method or any other way in Java to do that?
Thanks a lot,
Gan�che.

How to determine the type of the jobject... similar to instanceof

hi,
I would like to know how to determine the jobject reference of an instance is of which class.
this is something similar to instanceof we use in java.
is there any thing like 'instanceof' in JNI. if there how to use it?
i got this as objective question for which answers were(i do not remember exactly)
1.instanceof
2.assignedto
i could nt het much help in googling.
thanks in advance

Hi
The JNI provides a native version to the java instanceof operator, this function takes two arguments
an object refrence and a class refrence and reports JNI_TRUE.
jclass myclass = env->FindClass("your class name");
if(env->IsInstanceOf(obj,myclass) == JNI_TRUE)
// obj is of type myclass
}Regards

How to determine the types of interactive form fields

Hello:
I have written a utility that traverses through the objects in a PDF file, and finds the ones of Type "Annot", Subtype "Widget". I need to go one step down the hierarchy and determine which kind of widget (text, radio button, check mark, press button) is the one under scrutiny.
I have looked at the innards of PDF files, and found that the widgets of type "text" are internally identified by the FT=Tx dictionary entry. So far, so good.
Here is where the beauty and consistency stops. It turns out that all the other (non-text) types are ambiguously identified by FT=Btn dictionary entry.
So: Every field which is not text, is a button.
Where should I look?
TIA,
-RFH

Digging a little deeper, I found that the 4 types of fields (as generated by default) have different keys, as follows:
Text: [F, FT, MK, P, Rect, Subtype, T, Type]
Check Box: [AP, AS, F, FT, MK, P, Rect, Subtype, T, Type]
Radio Button: [AP, AS, BS, F, FT, Ff, MK, P, Rect, Subtype, T, Type]
Button: [AP, DA, F, FT, Ff, MK, P, Rect, Subtype, T, Type]
Is that the correct approach to determine the kind of fields, by querying for the keys, which somehow instantiate a fingerprint?
TIA,
-RFH

A Problem with the A205-S4597 video card

Hi
I need a video card for my laptop. A technician told me it only comes with the mother board. I wanna know if it's true or not, how can i get it, how much it cost.
The problem with the computer is that it shows a lot of colors at windows startup and then it stops working, so, i took it to the technician and he told me the problem was the video card, but i have to buy the whole mother board, because it isn't sell alole.

Yep. The video is integrated into the motherboard so you would need to replace the motherboard on that model. Unless you can do it yourself it will probably cost almost as much to fix it as it would to just buy another laptop.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
