Display problems when antialiasing is enabled

I've written a Java app which uses a JPanel-derived class to render images and text in the paint() method.
This works fine unless I've enabled antialiasing in my video card settings (GeForce FX 5200 w/128MB RAM, Windows XP), in which case nothing but a gray window appears. Disabling antialiasing in the video card settings fixes the problem. Multiple users with different video cards have reported the same problem (so its not something specific to my card and/or drivers).
Is there something in my code I can do to ensure my app will properly render regardless of whether or not antialiasing is turned on on the user's machine?
Note that I also tested with a simple frame containing a progress bar and saw the same issue, i.e. the Swing components themselves didn't properly render with antialiasing turned on.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks, that seems to be doing a bit better. I am still having a bit of trouble though, mainly, the TV seems to be flickering very slightly throughout. Strangely, I did not have this problem when using a composite connection. Is there a setting somewhere to make for a clearer picture? For example, when I run the external display calibration application, and it asks me to adjust the background so it is the same color as the apple logo in the picture, the apple logo is constantly flickering (changing color from white to gray to black or so very rapidly).
Also, I am mainly using the TV connection to watch front row. How can I get front row to operate on the external display if I do not have them set to mirror each other?
Thanks a lot,
Will

  • Tree component display problem when text too long???

    hi all
    whenever i use a tree component to display some sort of text, i run into problems when the width of the text being display for a node is larger than the width of the tree component.
    Given: Tree tree1 with Node node1 and Child Node child1
    When the text of either node1 or child1 is longer than the width of tree1, the text is displayed on its own single line UNDERNEATH the node images. this makes the text look like it does not belong to the group of children of a given node.
    is there anyway to add maybe a text area or some sort of scrolling region to allow for any length of text for any node??
    thanks everyone!

    Yes, you can change the size of the tree node text field. Please see the "Tree Node Component Properties Window" section in the Help Contents within the IDE. Look at the info under the "Appearance" section.

  • Display problem when reading Traditional Chinese in Crystal Report 2008

    Hi All,
    I have tried to connect MS SQL 6.5 to build up a report. However, I encounter a problem when read Traditional Chinese. all chinese characters turn into adnormal characters. I wonder it is problem of SQL Server or some setting that I may not know. In addition, I can able to read chinese in the application program , ISQL / Query Analyzer. Please help to give idea and suggestion to fix this. Thanks
    SQL Server: MS SQL Server  6.5
    Client OS: Window XP ( Traditional Chinese Version)
    Server OS: Window NT and Window Server 2000
    Stsyou

    Hi
    If you are using a Chinese language build database, Crystal Reports English build might not display the characters properly as non english databases include one byte characters as ASCII code character and double-byte characters as their own language code character.
    Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese (Kanji, Hiranga, and Katakana), Korean and Vietnamese use double-byte characters.
    However, a possible workaround to this issue is to verify that the encoding on the database client is configured according to the examples below. Also, you will need to install the language pack in the English environment.
    CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES:
    Shift-JIS for a Japanese database
    Big5 for a Traditional Chinese database
    GB2312 for a Simplified Chinese database
    iso-2022-kr for a Korean database
    Windows 1258 for a Vietnamese database
    EXAMPLE SCENARIO:
    An Oracle database saves non-English language data such as Japanese.
    The Windows operating system is English.
    STEP TO CONFIGURE THE CHARACTER CODE IN THE ENVIRONMENT SETTING
    (This step is based on the details of the EXAMPLE SCENARIO.)
    1. Configure the system environment on the database client side to 'Shift-JIS' as the character code set in the Environment Setting.
    This results in the NLS_LANG variable set to Japanese_Japan.JA16SJIS under the registry HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Oracle\Homeo.
    STEPS TO INSTALL LANGUAGE PACK IN AN ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT
    (These steps are based on the details of the EXAMPLE SCENARIO.)
    1. Add languages to the computer system by clicking:
    Control Panel > Regional Options > General
    2. Select the check box for 'Traditional Chinese', 'Simplified Chinese', 'Japanese', 'Korean' or 'Vietnamese'.
    3. Click 'Apply'.
    4. When you are prompted, insert the Windows CD-ROM to install the language pack.
    5. Restart the computer.
    Upon completing these steps, you are able to display the languages characters in the Crystal Reports Designer in a Windows English environment.
    ==========
    NOTE:
    If the database table and field names use non-English language characters, Data Explorer in CR will not correctly display these names. However, when you preview the report, the non-English data displays correctly.
    ==========
    Configuring the database client according to the examples and installing the language pack will display the characters successfully. However, there are cases when this workaround does not resolve the issue.
    For further information about CR and double-byte languages, refer to knowledge base articles, c2008083 and c2008349.
    Hope this helps!!!

  • Display problems when adding a document

    Hi,
    one of our customers is facing a strange problem. He runs SBO 8.8 PL18 on Windows Server 2008 R2, and the users work in SBO through Terminal Server. I will do my best to explain what happens.
    When one adds a manual journal entry, the screen flickers the same number of times there are rows. Let me explain the flickering. Suppose you have 10 rows. When you click Update, the table that displays the rows is kind of refresh or repainted 10 times, then fields are empty ready for a new journal entry. The best way I can describe what one can see is that the table is rolled down as many times as there are rows. Unfortunately I have not been able to record the flickering.
    This take some times, and users fell eyes fatigue because of the flickering. I have seen it on my own computer, so this problem does not relate to the computer used to work with SBO. I am told that it happens as well in A/P Invoices.
    The only hint I have is that display problem does not takes place with a TS established on Server 2003.
    Any hint at what this can be, has someone else seen this ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    If you are using Add-on then it will happed because programmer set keyword last focus in which cell and i think your programmer have code for some arthritic operation on grid then it will happen.
    So discuss your programmer it will solve issue or give proper explanation for same.
    It will defiantly through add-on .
    for tesing pupose stop the add-on then try make new document.
    Thanks

  • Display problems when connecting Samsung external display to Macbook Alu

    Here is the deal:
    1. I got a new Macbook Aluminum (yesss!)
    2. I got a sweet 23" Samsung LCD display (2048 x 1152)
    3. I got a DVI to Mini Display Port adapter
    4. I hooked the two up
    5. At first couldn't get a resolution higher than 640 x 480
    6. Figured it out
    7. After the Macbook went to sleep I tried to wake it up using my BT keyboard
    8. Screen came up with static/noise and then flashed the desktop off and on
    9. Unplugged display, opened Macbook to wake it up
    10. Macbook won't wake up. Caps lock key lights up, but that is it.
    11. Force shutdown and reboot
    12. External display works again, until later when Macbook falls asleep
    13. Here we go again
    Yes I have downloaded the latest update. I have reset the PRAM, etc. with the help of an Apple support agent. So far, the problem remains.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Any solutions other than me having to drive me lazy butt over the hill and taking 3 hours out of my day to have a Apple Genius look at my Macbook?

    Don't bother bringing it to an Apple store and wasting your time. I'm pretty sure your problem is a known issue with the software and not hardware. I suggest you get a hold of Apple over the phone, make sure you talk to a "product expert" and not a general rep and I'm sure he'll clarify it with you.

  • Display problems when connecting MBP to LG 30FS4D HDTV

    Apologies if a similar post has been asked before. Most questions related to this are with LCD TVs.
    Problem description :
    1. I connected my MBP to my LG 30FS4D HDTV ( this is not an LCD ). Both handshake and I can see the output on my TV. MBP display the tv control panel. But the output is just like s-video...probably not as good as that either !
    How I connected it to the TV :
    2. miniDVI to DVI adapter ( $19 )
    3. HDMI ( $10 )
    What I have tried so far :
    4. I changed the resolutions on the MBP tv display from 720p to 1080i, also other resolutions....but none of them is good quality !
    Questions :
    5. What kind of output should I expect on my tv - I was expecting at least a DVD quality output...but it's no where close to that ?
    6. Do I need to get expensive HDMI cable for this ?
    7. Is my TV the culprit ?
    8. Should I try this on someone's LCD TV ?

    For anyone who's facing a similar issue :
    Some of these slim TVs switch off other audio input when you connect the HDMI cable ( HDMI is after all, audio and video ). But there is another audio input - the digital optical audio input. In order to get the sound, get a toslink cable ( with optical audio male at one end and a simple headphone male at the other end ) and connect it from your MBP to the TV optical audio input.

  • Display problem when connecting laptop to TV via HDMI

    I have a Satellite L500-19X and when I connect the laptop to my Sony Bravia TV, the display is constantly choppy.
    I've tried changing the refresh rate but that hasn't helped. The HDMI cable shouldn't be the problem because it works fine with my Xbox. The problem is there during both duplicate display and extend display options.
    Anyone else experiencing the same problem and have found a fix?
    Thanks

    > The problem is there during both duplicate display and extend display options.
    And when you see desktop on TV only?

  • Display problem when scrolling in Finder OS X Lion.

    Hi,
    Last week i bought a new iMac, i7, AMD Radeon 6970M.
    Sometimes, when scrolling in the Finder, the text is displayed weird.
    See screendump. Is anyone known with this issue?

    I've had the exact same problem with Lion.  Telephone support told me to reinstall OS X Lion, which didn't help. The genius at the Genius bar told me it was my 3rd party (Kingston) RAM.  He demonstated the display was fine without the extra RAM, but he was using a USB mouse with a scrollwheel.  At home, my bluetooh magic mouse continued to cause the same problem, and so did my trackpad.  So I determined it had to do with the faster (and different type of) scrolling that these newer devices perform.  I then saw that if I use the slider on the right side of the finder window instead of gesturing with the mouse or trackpad it works fine.
    So I played with my settings a bit to see if I could overcome this problem, and found a solution.  I went to "Preferences-General-Show scroll bars" and changed from "Automatically based on input device" to "Always".  This nearly fixes the problem!  At least so far.  I get an occasional glitch if I scroll up and down a lot, but way less frequently than when its set to the default "Automatically based on input device".  This must be due to the new disappearing scrollbar "feature" in Lion.  Nicely done, Apple!

  • Display problems when installing Panther

    I purchased a G3 blue/white from work with 9.2.2 and the panther install disks (3 of them). The monitor was fine in 9.2.2. Upon inserting the panther disks, the display went grayscale and was next to unreadable. However, the install continued through disks one and two (never asked for 3?). Rebooting does not help, but I can tell it is running os x. Did the display drivers crash? I do not have the original 9.2.2 disks. Any advice?
    I can tell you it has 192 ram and is a 300 mhz. I can't recall the size of the hard drive. However, when I opened the drive icon after installing panther, it listed about 40 mg as available.

    For your machine to be upgraded from 9.2.2 to OS X, the firmware needs to be upgraded first. If you have not upgraded the firmware, I suggest that you go to Apple's firmware site and follow the instructions there to download and install the firmware.
    I recently went through the process of updating the firmware on a iMac G3 and found the process to be a little tricky. This is what I learned:
    After downloading the software, there was a folder called iMac Firmware Update on my desktop. That had 3 files in it, including an "About iMac Firmware Update". It is crucial to read that and to follow the directions. Rougly, you have to:
    - double click the iMac Firmware Updater
    - shut down the computer when prompted
    -hold in the programmer's button (location shown in the instructions) with the tip of a pen and restart while holding the button
    - keep holding the button until a long tone is heard
    - after that, the update runs by itself and the computer will reboot. After it rebooted, I received a message that the update had been completed successfully.
    The details might vary slightly for your machine, but I expect the general method is the same.
    I hope this helps.

  • Display problem when using external monitor

    Got any ideas about this? My friend has extended his imac (intel) display to another monitor using the mini dvi to vga. He can't see a thing on the imac but the system is up. He see a faint outline of the windows on the imac but its really dark. The extended monitor is showing fine. He plugged it out, shut it down and all of that but the screen just does not display.

    Same problem. I have always extended my monitor though. Today I went to lunch... came back... no display... I am using it right now though, I finally was able to figure out how to get the external monitor to act as a clone. The support guy said there wasn't a way to do this, but if you hit option F7 it will switch to clone, then you can go to the display settings and set the external monitor to have the white bar.
    So its all functioning, but the laptop lcd is blank. Actually its just a white screen, which apparently is 'blank' though to me blank is black. It flickers and weird outlines show here and there.
    The support guy was insistant it was a boot issue. But it can't be, everythign else works. Everywhere I look, there are people asking, and nobody from apple answering. He is sending me a box to send to support. 7-10 day turnaround... 7-10 days that I am going to be out of the water.
    The support guy's computer crashed twice while I was on the phone with him.

  • Dual display problems when using keynote, powerpoint etc..

    I can run my macbook in mirroring mode and extended desktop no probs but as soon as I run programs such as powerpoint, keynote or presenter software it will run the slides on the MacBook screen and put the control/operators screen on the projected screen/secondary display!!!!
    Any idea's as I would like to see the control screen myself and the MacBook screen is obviously to small for me to use to present slides! It sort of defeats the object of having second display...
    Any idea's???

    Hi,
    Under preferences for Keynote - Presenter Display - there is a checkbox option which seems to change which display is used to show slides/information.

  • Internet Problems when Bluetooth is Enabled

    I hope this isn't a totally boneheaded question.

    Is there something I can do?

    some wireless devices can interfere with wireless routers. I would suggest you configure your wireless router to use a different broadcast channel.

  • Display Problem - Light Coming From Top

    Hello,
    So I recently purchased a 27" iMac, and have noticed a display problem when viewing in full screen mode. Its only an issue if there is black along the top of the screen (such as the black bars when watching a movie or trailer). When there is black along the top, you can see some white light kind of bleeding in from the top edge - kind of all the way along (very narrow), but more pronounced at certain spots. I browsed the forums, but couldn't find anything that seemed real similar (though there are a number of reports of a yellow tinge on the bottom).
    I guess I"m just wondering if this is a common LED problem - or if my display may be defective, and I should take it back.
    Thanks in advance.
