Full Screen Text-Mode on a PC

I bought a 23" and a 20" Apple Cinema Display. They are outstanding quality; but I don't seem to have a text mode, i.e., when the computer boots, I don't see anything until the gui appears on Windows XP and my FreeBSD boxes.
Is this normal?

Hi Bill,
In my (admittedly limited) experience of PC, my guess would be that this may be due to the fact that these monitors need the graphics drivers to fire up within the OS in order to start functioning.
When the PC is booting up through the DOS/Bios stage, these drivers have not as yet come on line, so no display will occur. I guess this would be a pain because it makes it difficult for you to F8 to go to the setup, diagnostic and "Safe" modes.
Not sure how one would go about fixing this, though (sorry!)
Cheers!

  • JInternalFrame Full Screen Exclusive mode lag Windows 7?

    <font size=2>Hi everyone I'm not sure if i'm posting this question in the right category so feel free to move it. I recently have been playing around with full screen exclusive mode and JInternalFrames. Now what iv'e noticed is on every platform i've tried it works fine. When clicking and dragging the JInternalFrame to a new location it is quick and responsive. However when doing this same operation in Windows 7 the JInternalFrame lags significantly behind the mouse location as i'm dragging the internal frame. I haven't had a chance to test this on any other Windows platforms such as Vista or XP but I don't think it happens on those platforms, at least I don't remember this ever happening when I had Windows Vista and it doesn't occur in Mac OS 10.6.
    The following are the circumstances i've found that produce this problem:
    *1. The program is set to Full Screen Exclusive mode.*
    *2. You are using Windows 7 (possibly other Windows platforms)*
    *3. Click and drag a JInternalFrame to a new location.*
    I've tried several things to see if it fixes the problem such as setting the look and feel to cross platform but nothing helps. In fact when the LAF is set to cross platform it is even worse.
    Now i'm new to Full Screen Exclusive mode so i'm guessing (hoping) this is a problem caused by an error on my part. Here is the source code, i'd appreciate it if you give it a try. My question is how do I fix this lag so that the JInternalFrame is quick and responsive to the user dragging the window and i'm also wondering if this only happens on Windows 7 so if anyone could also tell me if they experience the problem I am describing and the OS you are using that would be great. Thank you guys :)
    Also any input about wether i'm setting up full screen exclusive mode correctly would be much appreciated too.</font>

    I don't see the lag you describe. There's some flicker when moving the internal frame around rapidly (it looks as if the borders follow the content a split second later, but can't be caught in a screen capture) but that's no different when I show the internal frame in a normal (not full screen) window.

    db<font size=2>Thanks for your reply and thanks for testing out my code. Could this lag be something wrong with my VM on Windows 7, cause the lag is extremely bad as in it takes a couple seconds for the internal frame to catch up with the mouse. I also just noticed that any other components in full screen exclusive mode on Windows 7 lag as well. Such as scrolling though a large amount of text, the scroll bar will lag far behind the mouse location and take a couple of seconds to catch up even when the mouse is moving fairly slow. I was hoping it was something in the code I was doing wrong but I guess not? Any suggestions on how I could fix this problem? It really makes my applications appear sluggish. For example when you click on a normal window such as in Windows Explorer and drag it to a new location the mouse stays in a fixed position on the window while you are dragging it. However with this lag the mouse appears to be "detatched" from the window and does not stay in the same location on the window while dragging. Does anyone else experience this or is this normal? I'm using Windows 7 64bit but I don't think that would make any difference. I'd also like to point out that I'm using Java 6 update 21 I don't know if that would make a difference opposed to update 17.
    Thanks again.</Font>

  • How come full screen exclusive mode is so slow?

    Hi. I am currently working on customer facing point-of-sale application. This application has a lot of animation going on and so needs quite speedy graphics performance. When I first investigated this it looked like I could do it in pure Java 2D which would be a lot easier than resorting to DirectX or OpenGL and mixing languages.
    Unfortunately as the app has moved closer to functional complete the graphics performance appears to have deteriorated to the point where it is unusable. So I have gone back to the beginning and written a test program to identify the problem .
    The tests I have done indicate that full screen exclusive mode runs about ten times slower than windowed mode. Which is mind boggling. Normally - say in DirectX - you would expect a full screen exclusive version of a games/graphics app to run a little bit quicker than a windowed version since it doesn't have to mess around with clip regions and moving vram pointers.
    My test program creates a 32 bit image and blits it to the screen a variable number of times in both windowed and full screen mode. Edited results look like this:
    iter wndw fscrn performance
         10 16.0 298.0 1862% slower
         20 47.0 610.0 1297% slower
         30 94.0 923.0 981% slower
         40 141.0 1205.0 854% slower
         50 157.0 1486.0 946% slower
         60 204.0 1877.0 920% slower
         70 234.0 2127.0 908% slower
         80 266.0 2425.0 911% slower
         90 297.0 2722.0 916% slower
         100 344.0 3253.0 945% slower
    The results are substantially the same with the openGL hint turned on (although I don't have that option on the release hardware). I am assuming that the images end up as managed since they are created through BufferedImage and the system is running under 1.5.
    Is there a way to get the full screen version running as fast as the windowed version?
    Here's the test prog:

                             "\t" + (int) ( (fullscreenTest[f]/windowedTest[f])*100.0) + "% slower");
    }

    Well I could do...
    The problem is that I am compositing multiple layers of alpha transparent images. If I just render straight to the screen I get nasty flicker where I see glimpses of the background before the top layer(s) get rendered. So I would have to render to an offscreen buffer and then blit the assembled image into the screen. Even then there will be some tearing as you can never sync to the screen refresh in windowed mode.
    And the thing is - there ought to be a 'proper' solution, g*dd*mm*t. Surely the core team didn't put together a solution that is ten times slower than it should be and then say 'What the heck, we'll release it anyway'.
    I mean, if you can't believe in Sun engineering what can you believe in?

  • Chrome, Mountain Lion and Full Screen Interactive Mode

    I'm running into an issue when entering Full Screen (Interactive) Mode-- long story short, the Message and "Allow" button are over-magnified and don't appear on the screen for me to click, thereby making it impossible to use other keystrokes (and see certain things in the interactive game window t'boot).
    This issue does not exist in Snow Leapord on an older machine, though the same updated versions of Chrome (and assumedly Flash Player) are at work there.
    Any suggestions on something I can tweak-- or even a work-around/hotkey for Allowing FSI Mode?
    The actual game screen itself is fine, albeit slightly cut off around the edges.

    Man, do you have Sophos antivirus? If that so, you need to uninstall it the right way:
    For Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 7.x , go to Macintosh HD|Library|Sophos Anti-Virus.
    Select 'Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg'.
    Follow the instructions on the screen.
    NOTE, if you are running Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 4.x, the path in step 1 is Macintosh HD|Library|Application Support|Sophos Anti-Virus.
    It seems that Sophos antivirus is crashing ML. They have an update but I'll wait some time becuase I've really had a painful time these days.

  • How to add full screen text w/out losing audio. I have premier elements 12

    I am creating a language tutorial. Am trying to add full screen text without losing the audio explanation of the text. How do I make this edit and not lose the audio that coincides with the full screen text?

    Roberto
    Thanks for the details.
    Variable - Constant Frame Rate Explanation
    First, the variable frame rate mention and any problems that might be expected if your iPad video was recorded with a variable rather than constant frame rate. Some cameras (such a cell phone, iPod, probably iPad) record video not at one frame rate across the whole video recording. Instead, they record with a variable frame rate depending usually on the lighting conditions during video recording. One way to know what your recording device is using is to view the MediaInfo video audio properties readout. If you have a constant frame rate, you will see just one frame rate listed. If variable, you should see 3 frame rates listed minimum, maximum, and mid range frame rate.
    MediaInfo - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com
    This situation may or may not cause problems for you in Premiere Elements. The signs of problems are usually out of sync audio and you just cannot import the video into the project. If this type of problem, then you take your video into a program such as HandBrake to generate a file with a constant rather than variable frame rate. Then you import the file with the constant frame rate into your Premiere Elements project. http://handbrake.fr/
    Again, this may or may not create problems.
    The Generalized Project Workflow
    There is no problem to setup up your Timeline physically. The iPad video with go to Video Track 1 and Audio Track 1. The video is imported into the project linked to it audio portion. And, the Full Screen Text Files will be on Video Track 2 directly above the related content. Now here is the part that I am not yet clear on. Is the Full Screen Text for a given portion of video supposed to synchronize word for word with what you are saying in the audio on Audio Track 1? That will involve a mapping out part with regard to duration of each of the Full Screen Text files. Will these Full Screen Text files be readable against the video representing the background? Font style and size and color will be major considerations as well as getting the text file to be on screen long enough to be readable even with Font style, size, and color considerations.
    The fact that you focus on audio loss in all this makes me wonder if I am missing a vital part of what you want to do. The loss of audio concern that you mention does not seem like a prime factor unless you are referring to sync between the texts and what it is supposed to correspond to in the audio of the video.
    Please review and consider and then, based on your reply, I will offer a mini demo to see if we are OK on the details.
    Thanks.

  • Using swing in Full screen sxclusive mode

    Hi!
    I have created a game which uses swing components.... I have decieded (because it is much cool, and looks nicer) to convert the game to Full screen mode....
    Mycurrent GUI consists of two JPanel s. One of which I use the paintComponent method to draw the game board to the JPanel. The other JPanel is split into several other parts which contain the details about each player.
    Now, what I want to do is to be able to update the graphics using a BufferStrategy. My question is how would I do this? I tried to create a eperate BufferStrategy for the "Board" JPanel, but I can't as JPanel doesn't support getBufferStrategy(). Then I tried to convert the whole "Board" into Canvas. This I could implemnt but as I rendered the image it was drawn over the second JPanel which is to the right of the "Board"
    I was thinking that maybe I could create a FlipBufferStrategy but it's protected and cannot be instantiated in a JPanel.
    So what I'm basically asking is how do you use swing components in Full Screen Exclusive mode and using active rendering?
    For dukes go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=394856&tstart=15&trange=15

    Hi,
    in case you don't already know it, here's Suns very own tutorial on that topic:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/index.html
    JPanel does not support getBufferStrategy() but JFrame (or any other subclass of Window) does. So you could put your JPanel into a JFrame and gain access to the BufferStrategy that way.
    Keep in mind that there is still a serious bug in createBufferStrategy() that can result in a deadlock. Browse the Bug Database for a workaround, I can't find it now, but I know that it is there.
    Last but not least you could post in the Swing Forum, which would be a more suitable place for a Swing question than the Java3D Forum :)

  • Edit keywords whilst in full screen edit mode

    Hi all
    I want to edit the keywords assigned to an image in full screen edit mode.
    I have searched about a bit and have found links to Keyword Assistant which is all well and nice. It's not particularly quick to asign keywords though - my touch typing isn't all that hot. And it has a few 'quirks' which make it a little cumbersome to use.
    Ideally I'd love to see a palette with keywords that can be toggled on or off for each image - brought up much like the adjust and effects palettes. I have over 15k images in this library and I'm intending to go through them all adjusting the keywords. Is there anything out there that will do something like this, within iPhoto full-screen?
    Thanks
    Flea

  • Retouch brush in Full Screen Editing Mode

    Has anyone else noticed that the retouching brush is way too big when you're editing in full-screen mode? Is this a bug? Is there anyway to adjust the diameter of the brush?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Well, at least I'm not alone. I didn't notice a place to file a bug about this.
    Thanks,
    Matt
    Yeah...I have the same issue. Posted on the other
    forum about this. This size of the pixel is about 25
    across and when you use the tool, it obliterates the
    face or whatever you're trying to retouch. When you
    revert to the regular screen it doesn't fix the
    problem either.
    I did notice that when I first used the tool in the
    regular, non-full screen mode, it was fine. Once I
    switched to the full screen editing mode, the problem
    started and now it won't go away.

  • Viewing EXIF data in full screen edit mode

    is it possible to view the EXIF data when in full screen mode?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I think the full screen mode is the problem. You can't even drag an image from there to an application in the dock to view extended EXIF information like I outline next.
    To view more EXIF info than iPhoto will show for an image, download Simple EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X. Put it in your applications folder and then open the app. When the app is in the dock, click and hold on it and scroll to "keep in dock".
    You can now drag an image from the iPhoto Library viewing window on top of the EXIF viewer. The viewer window will open and give you the EXIF info for the image.

  • Firefox mac osx version does not support mac-Lion os full screen window mode. When will you bring this?

    In macbook pro with lion os apple gives a full-screen-mode icon in the top right corner of the window, which will be used to open that view in different window. But firefox does not support this. Even chrome supports it.
    When will you bring this feature to firefox?. Currently I am in firefox 8.0.1

    No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

  • Set screen resolution, and full screen view mode (F11)

    Hi,
    I have a jsp page which only looks right in 1280x1024. Can I write some kind of code to set the browser to always be 1280x1024 and the view mode to be full screen regardless of the client's setting?
    I would like to thank all for responding to my previous questions/problems.

    Hi,
    after all, try <body onload="window.resizeTo(width,height);">. It works for me. You can also turn off navigation bars etc. See http://forums.devarticles.com/javascript-development-22/change-window-size-and-nav-bar-status-on-page-load-2091.html for example - or google "javascript resize window".
    However, I don't know of a method to set the window to an F11-like fullscreen mode.
    Regards,
    Patrik

  • Is it possible to change the size of the 'Close' button in Full Screen viewing mode?

    I am currently using Firefox for a kiosk type scenario. We require that the browser run full screen. The issue is that the 'Close' button is not large enough for users to consistently see, so they're having issues figuring out how to close an active browser window.
    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change this icon? I've tried using themes, but they tend to theme everything but the close button.
    Custom configuration details are below.
    Firefox version: firefox-3.0.4-1.el5.centos
    Customisations:
    Access to local drives disabled:
    Modified the contents of /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/chrome/browser.jar, so that browser.js has the added stanza:
    <pre><nowiki>if (location.match(/^file:/) ||
    location.match(/^\//) ||
    location.match(/^resource:/) ||
    (!location.match(/^about:blank/) &&
    location.match(/^about:/))) {
    loadURI("about:blank");
    }</nowiki></pre>
    Various menus & bookmarks disabled in chrome/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>/* Kill "normal" bookmark icons in the bookmarks menu */
    menuitem.bookmark-item > .menu-iconic-left {
    display: none;
    /* kill icons for bookmark folders in Bookmarks menu */
    menu.bookmark-item > .menu-iconic-left {
    display: none;
    /* kill icons for bookmark groups in Bookmarks menu */
    menuitem.bookmark-group > .menu-iconic-left {
    display: none;
    /* Remove the Edit and Help menus
    Id's for all toplevel menus:
    file-menu, edit-menu, view-menu, go-menu, bookmarks-menu, tools-menu, helpMenu */
    helpMenu { display: none !important; }
    tools-menu { display: none !important; }
    file-menu { display: none !important; }
    edit-menu { display: none !important; }
    view-menu { display: none !important; }
    go-menu { display: none !important; }
    bookmarks-menu { display: none !important; }
    #autohide-context { display: none !important;}
    #bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu { display: none !important;}
    #organizeBookmarksSeparator { display: none !important;}
    .tabbrowser-tabs .tab-icon {
    display: none;
    #urlbar {
    font-family: Arial !important;
    color: Black !important;
    font-size: 26 !important; }</nowiki></pre>

    Try code like this:
    <pre><nowiki>#window-controls .toolbarbutton-icon {
    width: 25px !important;
    height: 25px !important;
    </nowiki></pre>
    The three buttons have these IDs:
    <pre><nowiki>#minimize-button
    #restore-button
    #close-button</nowiki></pre>

  • Is the Full Screen Mode confusing?

    apple is known for its good user interfaces, but am i the only one who thinks that the new user interface of iphoto is bad? especially the "fullscreen mode" is very difficult to use for a beginner. first of all: didn't jobs say that the green button on the top enters fullscreen? well, it doesn't.
    once you are in fullscreen there is no way to switch between windows and or start new programs as the dock is gone. not good! confusing! it also seems like some things are done a different way in the fullscreen mode, you feel "disabled" when using it.
    other things that are not good:
    - where is search? every other program uses a little square where you can enter text - not iphoto! the icon morphs to the text box when clicking... why changing a behaviour we are all used to?
    - where is "add a new folder/intelligent album etc")? the known user interface element for this is gone! iphoto is now inconsistent with itunes or other programs that add new things by the "+" button. oh well, there IS a plus button, but he is placed on a totally different place on the right! it just doesn't feel right that way.
    - where can i make the map larger when editing photos and selecting the gps position?
    - how can i get rid of the visual clutter in edit mode?
    - why can't i display 2 or more photos without going in edit mode?
    this release makes me really sad. i had so many hopes in what the program can do, but it is just a step backwards in a very confusing direction with the user interface.

    I feel the same way. iPhoto'11 has many flaws that need to be fixed. I really miss full screen editing mode with no visual clutter. Really disapointted.

  • Magnify/Zoom missing in Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer Full Screen Mode?

    Am I missing something or has the abilty to magnify a picture been dropped from the full screen organizer mode in Photoshop Elements 8?
    If so this is a serious regression. This means you can't zoom the picture up enough to examine the quality of multiple shots of the same subject. The only alternative is to go into full edit mode which takes a long time if you have any significant number of pictures.
    Anyone figured a way around this?

    Overall I like Full Screen view of 8th versio of Elements...
    Here are all the things Adobe broke in PSE 8 Full Screen view:
    - With a larger catalog (12K files), it takes 16 seconds to open an image in Full Screen view, several times slower than in PSE 7.  (In Bridge and most other programs, it takes less than a second.)  This is due to a bug in PSE, where it needlessly accesses the catalog database tens of thousands of times.
    - With a larger catalog, when you first open Full Screen view, it loses keyboard focus.  So if you want to use the right-arrow key to move to the next pic, you must first use the mouse to click anywhere on the screen.
    - The settings for Toggle Quick Organize Panel and Toggle Quick Edit Panel are not sticky. So if you want to make them completely disappear so they don't overlap your beautiful photo (is is full screen view, after all), you have to toggle them off each time you enter the view.  This is a step back to PSA 1 and 2, which always floated a toolbar above your photo.
    - The tag cloud in the Quick Organize panel is completely useless if you have more than a dozen or two tags -- you'll be scrolling forever looking for a keyword in the flat list.
    - The Tag Media text box in the Quick Organize panel doesn't do auto-complete on tags you type, defeating the whole purpose of allowing text entry of tags (that is, making it quicker to select from among hundreds of tags).   The Keyword Tags text box in the Organize pane does auto-complete, but I guess the programmer for Full Screen view didn't bother to share that same code?  (Of course, the Keyword Tags text box is seriously buggy as well, but that's a different topic.)
