Hardware accelerated scaling on external display not smooth since 11.0

Hi,
When running 1280x800 app in fullscreen mode with hardware accelerated scaling (fullScreenSourceRect) from a laptop on the second screen (extented desktop etc)  hardware scaling seems to fail to smooth the image on certain cases.
flash version
screen resolution
result
10.3
any
works
11.0 - 11.2
1280 x 1024 or 1280x800
works
11.0 - 11.2
any other
fails
We're actually making an Air app, but it seems flash player has the problem and air 3.2 comes with flash 11.2.
Code for fullscreen:
stage.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(0,0,1280,800);
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
Here's a list of display adapters we've confirmed the problem with, but it seems there's others too:
Intel GMA X3100
Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
Anyone have any workarounds or other advice for this?

You can also try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the problem is there also.  Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Macbook (Late 2007) External Display Not Working

    I have an acer x243hq 1920x1080 external monitor which works with my Xbox 360 (vga cable) and my friends macbook (early 2008) but not my macbook
    when plugging the external monitor into my macbook using the minidvi to dvi adapter the macbook screen goes light blue and flashes continuously until i remove the cable, the external monitor is just black (does NOT display "no signal") when the cable is removed the cpu seems to have been running at 100%.
    i have tried using my friends macbook hard drive in my macbook and the problem is still there therefore the problem must be hardware related?
    i have all current updates
    Thanks for any replys on how i can fix this

    Have you downloaded the Mac OS X (10.5.4) Combo Update? I posted my problem, very similar to yours, and in researching it I found it at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054comboupdate .html. It might just be what you need!
    My problem is that I am running 10.5.7, which I blame for my external display not acting like it did when I was on 10.5.6! One expert at Apple Support told me to erase my HDD, reinstall Tiger, upgrade to Leopard again, but only to 10.5.6! Has anyone any idea as to when 10.5.8 is due out? Is there a Beta?

  • Laptop Built In Display and External Display not Working

    Hi all, I have a HP Envy M6-1158ca, and recently my Built-in display stopped working. I plugged it into an external display via HDMI and it showed no input. It seems as though the laptop is not booting into Windows either, as usually whenever my laptop boots into windows, the fingerprint scanner blinks letting me know I can now sign in using it. I am extremly frustrated with this, and have an unbelieveable amount of stress because this was my only PC. Please respond as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Yes.. i think thats what might have damaged it...Notebook should always be completely powered off with the battery out and ac adapter disconnected while  replacing any internal hardware..
    Shouldnt be a BIOS problem....but still you can check this link..

    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • External Display not working (descriptive details in post)

    Hello
    Background:
    I have been using a black Macbook (last year's model - before the aluminum ones came out) and connecting it to a VIZIO VW22L HDTV10T (television/monitor) via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
    This setup always worked, although it was a bit finicky (I'd have to plug it in before closing the display to get in to work in clamshell mode, for example). I get the feeling from reading other forum posts that this is the normal case, though (which so far has been my only real gripe with OS X).
    Anyway, back a couple months ago I wondered if this finicky-ness was partially caused by a messed-up preference file, so I decided to try and fix this. In the ensuing tweaking, I somehow caused my Display preferences to disappear.
    After much effort trying to fix the problem, I eventually called Apple support, which ultimately recommended that I reinstall OS X. I didn't do that, and continued to work at the problem. I eventually was able to bring it back by going into my Time Machine backups and restoring all the Display preference files (I used old preferences from back when I got the external HD, so I knew they'd be "uncorrupted). However, now I'm having problems with my external display, namely that it is not working.
    This problem started early this year, so it might have been caused by the 10.5.5 update, but since I had all these other problems going on, I'm not sure if that was the case.
    Problem:
    The Macbook doesn't seem to recognize the display, or is having problems routing video to the display, or something.
    If I plug the display into the Macbook while it is running normally, the Macbook LCD will flash blue (like it picked up a new display), but them come back to normal. The monitor will go out of sleep mode for a second, but then display a "No signal" message. If I attempt to "Detect Displays" the Macbook screen will either flash blue (as before) or just do nothing.
    If I have the display plugged in when I start up the Macbook, everything will proceed as normal until the time the desktop would be displayed. Instead of this, I just see a blue screen (like some generic desktop before any background is applied). The menu bar, the dock, and icons do not show up. However, I can hear various audio cues telling me the computer is running fine except for htis problem (email notifier going off, etc.).
    I know the problem is not faulty hardware, because when I boot my Macbook into Windows, everything works perfectly. It therefore follows that it is an OS X problem. I downloaded both Cocktail and Applejack and run various repairs on them (most notable repairing preferences), but nothing has changed.
    Any suggestions about how to try fixing this? If there's any technical detail I've missed, let me know.
    Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.

    I have same problem. MacBook Pro (new, 2014) upgraded to Yosemite. Had been running with ViewPoint high-resolution, 27" monitor, HDMI. I tried Thunderbolt connection -- it connected, but it would not allow the external monitor to run at its native resolution (2560x1440). It would only display properly using HDMI. Just 3 days ago after I installed the latest OSx software update, and my external monitor problems started. On startup, my MacBook screen flickers non-stop. I can fix problem eventually (after several tries) by disconnecting the HDMI cable, turning OFF the external monitor power, turning external monitor back ON and then plugging in the HDMI to my MacBook Pro. This is very inconvenient.
    I will try using the Thunderbolt cable. When I tried it in the past, it connected, but it wouldn't display the native resolution of my external monitor (which is 2560x1440). Can only get this resolution now with HDMI.

  • External display not as crisp as my Mac Mini

    Hi, I recently bought a macbook.
    I used to have a mac mini and hooked it up to a 19-inch LG Flatron L1950s (Resolution: 1280 x 1024, 24-bit, 16.7M colours). It looked great hooked up to my mac mini, very sharp.
    Now, I've hooked it up to my macbook, and while the display looks "ok" it is nowhere near as crisp as when i had it hooked up to the mini. I feel like it should be performing better. I have it set to its native resolution, but it's just not as clear. I mean, why would there be any difference at all?
    Any ideas that might help?
    Gavin

    Gavin,
    I wanted to weigh in with the same problem. My MacBook display looks crisp as all get out, but my external VGA monitor is blurry. Not unreadable, but certainly noticeable. I've tweaked resolutions, font anti-aliasing, smoothing, refresh rates, and everything else. I've also hooked my MacBook up to a LCD monitor, and the same problem exists. I am using a Mini-DVI -> VGA adapter as well. The LCD monitor I tested was inputting via it's VGA input (I know what you're thinking, "Of course it'll be blurry!", but I can hook my other laptop (Dell) up to it and it's crystal clear).
    I really want to use an external display, as bending my neck to see my screen all day really is hurting me. I can't stand the blurryness of the second monitor, though.
    Does anyone have any solutions for us? I don't want to buy a Mini-DVI -> DVI adapter and switch monitors to an LCD if using my existing VGA monitor is possible. Plus, it sounds like this might be a MacBook problem, as Gavin's old Mini seemed to display just fine on his VGA monitor...

  • Mini Displayport - VGA - External display not detected on 9400m

    Hey guys,
    I really need help, I have 2 HDTVs and for both of them gives me the plain black screen with gray noise. The update did not help, and the only way to run external display is through 9600m GT, and obv that is not good for your computer. Is there anyway or solution to fix this problem, and since Apple is pretty useless lately, other then say "re-try the update".
    In more detail: It seems to detect that I have plugged in the adapter since I see the changing screen process, but once the screen is changed it outputs the display for less then a second and then gives me the black screen. If I check my macbook pro, it doesn't detect that there is an external display plugged into the laptop.
    HELP! PLZ! I'm sick of this problem! TRIED the PRAM RESET 2! Almost everything

    I think the only way to do this is to spoof a monitor connection using a hardware dongle that transmits EDID. This thing should work.

  • Thinkpad T60 external display not working

    Got a problem with attaching an external display to a thinkpad T60, it will not give a display at all on any external monitor with the FN F7 combination,
    The LCD goes black on the laptop screen, but nothing appears on the external monitor
    Its got an intel 945 graphics chip.
    Looks like a hardware problem to me, has anyone ever come across this?

    Have you tried upgrading the BIOS version...It solved partly a similar problem for me but I still have color problem.
    Is somebody know why there is 7 monitors displayed in device manager and how to know which of the 4 plug and play monitor is associated with my external screen???
    I have color problem with my View Sonic 2260 wm (on a Thinkpad T60 also). Strange problem and what is weird is that the problem go on and off...
    Thanks,

  • External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

    I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

    Check this post if you want more info:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774718
    The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
    If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
    I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
    BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

  • Two BenQ external displays not working with new 27" iMac

    I have a 27" iMac (newest model) and have been using it with a BenQ BL2710 monitor.  It's connected with a mini display port to display port cable.  It's been working great; I found that I had to uncheck the 'Displays have separate spaces' box in Mission Control, so I have the menu bar on the iMac'd display only.
    Now, I have a 2nd BenQ BL2710 that I'm trying to hook up the same way, using the iMac's 2nd thunderbolt port.  The display powers up and all 3 screens look perfect.  The problem is getting the arrangement correct.  I have the dock on one display, the menu bar on another, and the mouse will only work on one or two of the displays, depending on how I change the arrangement.
    I want the dock and the menu bar to be on the iMac's display ply, which is in the center.  Is there a trick to getting this done, or do I need a third party dock or other piece of hardware to get it to work?

    I just answered my own question; apparently with two external displays connected, the dock has to be positioned on the bottom.  I had it on the right of the main iMac display.  Moving it to the bottom, and rearranging the position of the monitors in display preferences did the trick.
    If anyone knows of a way to accomplish this without moving the dock to the bottom of the screen, I'd be interested.  I'd prefer it on the right side, if possible.

  • External Displays not working

    My 1.67 PB suddenly stopped recognizing any external display devices I have plugged in. I have tried both the S-Video and the DVI and have repeatedly clicked "Detect Displays"... nothing. With the DVI connection, the PB screen flashes blue for a second but then goes back to normal. I have tried to restart with and without an external device plugged in. I have also tried to put the PB to sleep, plug in the external device, and wake it up... nothing.
    The only thing I've done to my PB between yesterday (the last time my S-video output worked) and today was to install the Final Cut Pro 5.0.3 and Cinema Tools 3.0.3 updates via Software Update.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    John

    It's working. I have no idea why, but I'm not complaining.

  • Macbook pro screen & external display not workin

    Hey. Last night I accidently dropped my macbook pro, not from very high, and I didn't think it would of damaged the computer this bad. When you turn the computer on the screen is basically white, if you let it load for a while two vertical bars appear on the right of the display. When you plug the computer in to an external display it looks simmiler to noise on a television. It's just a lot of horizontal black and white lines. Is this a problem with the display? the video card or the hard drive? I'm pretty worried as I need to get this fixed before I go back to uni. Without a computer I can pretty much not do a thing.

    You can test the hard drive by connecting your laptop to another computer and using it in target disk mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    That way, if it's not the hard drive, you can at least salvage all your data.
    I hope for your sake that it's the hard drive because that can be replaced fairly easily (assuming you backed up your most important data). If it's the video card, that means replacing the entire motherboard. Hopefully, you're still under warranty.

  • Softproof in Lightroom and Photoshop on external display not matching

    Hi,
    When I soft proof an image in Lightroom (5) and in Photoshop (CS6) on my external display there is a noticeable difference between the two proofs.
    This is the case both with "simulate paper & ink" on and off (with matching settings in both applications) and with a variety of different profiles being used. On my laptop screen the proofs always match (between Photoshop and Lightroom).
    On the external display with soft proofing off there is an exact match between images in LR and PS. With soft proofing on saturated areas of images (particularly reds, greens and yellows) become noticeably less saturated and blocked up in LR as compared to PS. Subdued colours appear to match. It's almost like they are both using the same profile but Lightroom is squashing it into a smaller gamut. I'm fairly sure PS is correct and LR is the one with something going wrong.
    I'd like to sort it as I'd prefer to soft proof in Lightroom as that's where I print from. I've read up a lot on colour management and can't find a solution.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Tom
    (I'm on a Macbook pro running 10.8.4 and the external display is an NEC Spectraview 271 (euro version of PA271W), the display is calibrated and profiled with Spectraview 5, with an i1 Display Pro. Working space in PS is Prophoto RGB and it's set to preserve embedded profiles. I've checked with various test images but mostly been using Bill Atkinon's printer test image. I set up the image in LR and PS to match on screen position and with the same colour (white) background, I can then flick back and forth and there should be no change but there is and it's very obvious.)

    I'm having trouble with Lightroom 5 soft proofing with reds too.  To rid my propossed print of a gamut warning I must totally desaturate or change my paper profile to glossy (or both).  This is odd because my monitor is calibrated, I'm using the correct paper profiles etc and when I ignore the gamut warning my prints are looking good. This isn't helpful to you but at least your not alone....

  • Urgent!  External Displays not working due to "USB Devices Disabled"

    I use a Matrox DualHead2Go ME for two external displays.  Suddenly, I got a message:  "USB Devices Disabled... Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable device."  Though the DualHead2Go (DH2G) works, it stops functioning seconds later.  I tried resetting PRAM and SMC.  The ports are fine as I can use them for other devices.  If I unplug the DH2G and re-plug, my external monitors work for a few seconds, then the DH2G shuts off per internal light winking out.
    I don't think this is a problem w/my DH2G so much as my macbook pro early 2011.  I don't know if there is a connection, but this all seemed have happened suddenly when I fidgeted with iTunes and my iPhone 4S.  I really need my external monitors for work.  HELP!
    I also run a lot of programs, but I've been doing this forever and I've never had problems w/my two externals usingDH2G for some time now.  I have 16gigs, external HD, 500gig HD.  Thank you to anyone who can help.  Figures Matrox is closed on the weekends.

    It's working. I have no idea why, but I'm not complaining.
    Thanks,

  • MacBook Air - windows 7 / Bootcamp - External Display NOT WORKING

    I run Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on a 9/2011 MacBook Air, how can I run an external display? Settings only give single display option there seems to be no way to either just display on an external display or to extend to an external display. Is this a bug?

  • Caller display not worked since June 2014

    On 26/06/14 I reported a fault (VOL-**********) that the caller display function had stopped working following a thunderstorm in the area. According to the fault status this fault is showing as being corrected and closed on 02/07/14 when in fact the fault still exists. I tested the line using the BT test socket with a new BT2000 phone and this displayed ‘incoming call’ therefore my internal wiring is not part of the problem. I have also dialled the test code *#234# to check if the caller display service is available and confirmed that it is. I then tested the new BT2000 phone on the neighbour’s telephone line and this showed the caller ID for incoming calls, as did my other telephone as well; therefore none of the telephone handsets are at fault. Three times BT have informed me that the fault has been fixed and yet I still have no caller display. Reading through the forums it would appear that other people have encountered similar issues and that the problem is at the exchange, “An Openreach engineer discovered that the RS232 burst transferring the CLI number up the line was too weak and he then went down to the exchange to investigate. He then discovered that the fault lay in the ADSL device which lies between the analogue exchange equipment and the outgoing line”. 
    I’m surprised to see that BT are taking so long to trace a fault in their system last raised 5/8/2014 (VOL012-**********) and that they haven’t sent an engineer to the property or to the exchange to check the problem.
    My patience is wearing thin over this problem with my Caller Display not working as it started in mid June. I’m also becoming less enthusiastic about BT and find it harder to recommend them to others.
    My last message from BT, tells me that it should be back to normal on the 8 August. However, it is still not working. Their message that my phone should be back to normal now and if it isn’t report this to BT, is ridiculous. If an engineer had investigated what was causing the fault and found it, then he would have fixed it. However, either an engineer has not investigated the fault or BT is not competent in fixing their own service faults and makes these statements with crossed fingers?

    An engineer called yesterday and told me that he had been asked to test the line for a voice fault not a Caller Display fault. However, his testing revealed there is no line fault, CLI signal is strong and he was happy that the new BT2000 phone (bought after the lightning strike) is working properly. (This phone had also been tested on a neighbour’s phone line where it displayed the callers number). He also found that this same BT2000 phone on my line was not displaying the Caller’s number (CLI), but couldn’t offer any reason why.
    I conjectured with him that these tests must bring the problem down to a corrupted CLI signal which does not allow the phone to understand the phone number being sent.
    When the lightning struck the phone line back in June, it blew the telephone connection in the back of the Sky Box with a flash and bang (telephone cable now removed from the Sky box). It shorted the Openreach Faceplate (now replaced) so that the phones and broadband stopped working and it caused the phone to light up and react as it does when a call comes through.
    Now isn’t it possible that the lightning also travelled along the copper wire to the green cabinet just outside the house and damaged something there which is corrupting the CLI signal, but which does not not show up when the voice line is tested? If not, then there must be a problem further back in the infrastructure, possibly in the Exchange, that is causing a corrupted signal to be sent to my phone?
    He told me that another team would have to investigate the Caller Display fault as he was instructed to look into a voice issue and as a field engineer he was not able to investigate any problem that might be in the Exchange. I don’t know whether this Exchange Team would be able to investigate a problem in the Cabinet if nothing is found in the Exchange or can that only be done by a field engineer? He told me to contact BT again as he’d done all that he had been instructed to do and they would have to instigate a fault team to further investigate the problem.
    When all this is considered we have the basic problem that BT are unable to provide me with a Privacy and Caller Display Service that I have been paying for, because of a fault in their infrastructure. How much longer is it going to take before they correct the problem that’s been going on since June 2014?
