How to configure an XVR-2500 video card

Hi,
I have an ultra 45 w/ an XVR-2500 video card and I would like to configure this card so that I can have two screens and be able to drag one terminal window from one monitor to the other. Is this possible?
I have created /etc/dt/config/Xservers with
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner -dev /dev/fbs/kfb0 -dev /dev/fbs/kfb0
Upon rebooting it only displays a command line login on both screens (can not get a GUI login).
Below is my fbconfig -prconf output:

How much better is the 256mb video card?

I am shopping to get a new laptop and am sold on the MacbookPro 15'' model, but a I am wondering how much better the 2.16 model is than the 2.00.
My real concern is in the video card. If I get the 2.0GHZ model with 1GB of RAM should I just upgrade to the 2.16 and get double the video card.
How much of disadvantage will I be at with 128mb graphics card running say Adobe Illustartor(if the Intel version ever comes out.)
Thanks

Actually it's more of the opposite. Unless you are
playing a game like Oblivion, the extra Vram will not
make any noticeable difference in games. The pipes
and frequency are the same on both models. The extra
Vram helps in editting situations as there is more to
draw from.
Never did I say it will make a noticable difference in games, I said 5-10%. I don't know what "editting situations" is but in most programs it does not help at all unless the program uses GPU to render rich 3d graphics such as animation programs.
I just have a MBP so can't offer a firsthand account
but I did read an online magazine I think in the UK
where they compared gaming performance between the
two and it was huge. One some popular games the
performance was like
60 FPS MBP
10 FPS MB
I don't recall the exact games they tested but there
WAS a big gaming difference. So check it out and
google for some test results.
Thats Macbook vs. Macbook Pro i.e. Intel Integraed video card vs. X1600, he wants to know how x1600 256mb compares to the 128mb version.

How do I add a second video card to my Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop?

I want to install a second video card to my Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop so I can use two monitors. What card should I get?

Here are the specs for your Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model supports one VGA output via nVidia GeForce 6150SE onboard integrated graphics. This model also has a PCIe x16 graphics card expansion slot which will accept a PCIe x16 graphics card. According to the specs, installing a discrete graphics card in the PCIe x16 slot will disable the onboard integrated graphics.
The graphics card you purchase must support both monitors you wish to use with your computer. Additionally, most retail graphics cards require a 300 watt or greater system power supply. Currently , your computer has a 250 watt power supply and it will need to be replaced. Please consider the Corsair CX430, CX500, or CX600 series of power supplies to meet the new graphics card power requirements.
Alternatively, if this is mostly for word docs, spreadsheets, day trading and light video, you may wish to consider a USB-to-video adapter such as the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or one of the many other adapters on the market.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

How does Photoshop CS6 choose the video card for its Graphics Processor?

Running a Intel Mac on 10.74 - CS6
I have two video cards running three Dell Monitors.
The ATI 5770 (runs the 24") is on the 16 lane PCI slot and the older Nvidea 8800 GT (running two Dell 19") is on the 8 lane slot.
But photoshop chooses the slower card on the slower lane.
Any advise welcome to change this.

It's not really Adobe's fault.
The simple fact is that most of the software design that supports display processing is still mired in the days where a computer had one monitor. Making things worse is the fact that the GPU makers don't really have any incentive to make their hardware/software work in a system with other GPU makers' hardware. In a selfish sense, quite the opposite. Who's at fault when your ATI and nVidia cards don't work together?
Macs have just as many problems as PCs - possibly more, since Mac users don't have the luxury of mixing and matching driver versions.
Many modern video cards are made now to support sometimes up to 4 monitors.

How much RAM in my old video card?

Radeon Pro 9000 Pro OEM pulled from my 1.42 Dual G4 processor MDD (FW800)
Part Number 1029970500 000001
Two other labels have numbers: 603-1989 and 630-4481
I replaced this card with a Radeon Pro 9600 Mac/PC edition. (works great, too!) and would like to sell this 9000 card.
But, fool that I am, I never thought to write down the RAM amount. I'd really rather not have to reinstall the card, just for the few moments it would take to verify the RAM. (My arthritis does not enjoy getting the Mac out from under the table. Not at all!)
I want to be as accurate as possible and not misrepresent the card one way or the other in the listing.
If anyone can confirm the actual RAM onboard the card, 64 or 128 MB, I would be very grateful!
Thank you!

Unless the MDD was a build-to-order, it should be 64MB VRAM.

Video Card and Video Card Configurations for MacBook Pro

Does anyone know where I look to confirm which video card is in my MacBook Pro and also examine the current configurations and possibly look at configuration values for the video card.
I'm kind of new to Mac, but on the Windows world I would right click on the screen and then navigate to the Advanced Video card configurations. Is there something analogous in the Mac world?
Thanks again.

Hi Jason,
use the System Profiler app from the Applications/Utilities Folder to 'examine' the insides of your MBP.
You can also click on the Apple Icon in the Top Menu, choose About This Mac and the the More (Further) Informations button. (I have a german OSX...).
The only avaiable configuration options are found in the System Preferences (Display and Energy Savings).
Have Fun

Dual Monitor video cards for HP Pro 3400

I am looking to add a 2nd monitor to my HP Pro 3400 MT and want to make sure I get a video card that will not have any compatibility issues. I'm not doing any gaming so I don't think I need anything super fancy and I would prefer not to have to upgrade the power supply.
So my questions are:
Is the HP Pro 3400 MT compatible witha PCI Express 3.0 card? 2.1 ?
How much power draw from the video card would require me to upgrade the power supply (my PC is stock, no added peripherals). Is there a way for me to determine how much is being currently (no pun intended) drawn?
Are there any drawbacks to usnig the built-in video card for 1 monitor and a new, single-ouput card for the other (vs a dual-output card) ?
Anything else I need to consider when deciding on a new video card?
Thanks.

Six Spare Monitors...MacPro Video Card Advice?

Greetings,
I have six spare monitors (Dell 19" 4ea and Dell 24" 2ea) leftover from a PC and I would like to get some advice on MacPro video cards to conncect all six monitors to a single machine. When I had my PC, I purchased a single eVGA 9500 (two DVI video ports built-in) and two eVGA PCI cards (2 video ports each for four ports). Once installed, these cards worked flawlessly with the six monitors under Windows Vista and the Aero interface. The 9500 was $99.00 and the PCI video cards were around $50 each.
I currently have a late 2009 iMac i7 with an external display, but I find having two screens is somewhat limiting since I had six with my PC. I've enabled Spaces in Snow Leopard, but all the screen flipping gets on my nerves. I miss being able to dedicate a monitor to email, another to iTunes, another to the Calendar, another for web browsing, etc.
Unlike Wintel PCs, the selection of video cards seems to be limited and specialized for MacPros.
How would someone go about adding video cards to a MacPro to drive six monitors?
I've read that the older MacPro video cards aren't very good. My late 2009 iMac i7 has a Radeon 4850, and I've never had a single problem with it, so I would probably want something similar in my MacPro if that is possible.
I'm considering buying a used MacPro off eBay in the $1,000 to $1,500 price range. I'm planning on using the machine the same way I'm using my iMac today which consists of basic photo editing with iPhoto & Aperture and light video editing with iMovie.
Thank you,
Derrick

there is a similar discussion over here;

where these two pages are mentioned;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4279
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477
but you can add another (or more) card in a mac pro for more monitors.
yes, the choice in cards is limited.
some PC cards can be flashed, but with no garantees.
then there is USB, where you can add up to 4 monitors;

Better video cards for the new 8-core Mac Pro...?

I don't know a ton about video cards. I did some research and the internet says that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 video card is the best card out right now. Will it work in the 8-core macpro? If not, or if it's not the best, what is the best video card that will work in the 8-core macpro?
P.S.
Does anyone know how to tell exactly whether a video card is better from another? I mean I can guess a video card at 1792MB is going to be better then one at 512MB, but I've also heard that, for example, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB is better then the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB, and apple charges more for it so it probably is better, but all that tells me is the name of the cards, and that they are both at 512MB, so from that without any other information I would assume they're exactly the same just made by different companies, but there must be some other details that would explain why it's better right? Thanks in advance

Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
What applications do you use?
Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
The 5800 is better though, will it work?
Better, how?
The spec's read better?
How about real world performance?
Benchmarks?
They are very similar in shape and such.
Shape has little to do with anything.
The ROM is the key.
If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
Even then, no guarantees.
Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
There are many pioneers who flash cards.
If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
Flashing the card is easy.
Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

Connecting JAVA with Video Card

Hai,...
Can someone tell me how to connect Java with a video card (like Matrox, dec-link, etc)?
Because i want to display a video using that video card to a TV monitor.
Is there any tutorial about this? and about connecting JAVA with other device?
Thank you,
