HOWTO: Can't display any resolution above 640x480, or other crappy res
I've been working on this problem for half the day, and finally figured it out after many hours of frustration. During my search for a solution, I've seen other people who had the same problem but was never resolved on these forums. Rather than bumping an old post, I've decided to create this "howto" hoping that someone experiencing the same problem may find this post.
The problem is that Xorg refuses to display any resolution above the minimum, which is 640x480. This was the resolution in my case, and searching around, it's the resolution many other people experienced, as well, who experienced this same problem.
Check your Xorg log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Search for "No valid modes for". If you see something like this, then you are experiencing the same problem I had:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1680x1050"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1024x768"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "800x600"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "640x480"; removing.
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode
(WW) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select".
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
In my case, this only occurred when I was using the nvidia driver (it went away when I just used nv).
Ok, so here's how to solve the problem...
Has your monitor worked with your machine before?
If your monitor, graphics card, etc. has worked with your machine and xorg file in the past, and it suddenly stopped working without anything changing, then try rebooting your monitor. (I'm serious!) Log out, turn off your monitor, and unplug it for several seconds. Plug it back in and log back in. This ended up solving my problem, after I edited my xorg file (see below)... but just editing the xorg file and rebooting X wasn't enough
If monitor rebooting didn't help, or you've never got your monitor/graphics card/xorg.conf working together in the past
If this is the case, your xorg.conf probably isn't configured correctly. Assuming you already have a xorg.conf file (this post is NOT meant to replace the other howto's on how to configure your xorg file), here's the basic rundown of what your xorg file should have...
Make sure that you have the "Modes" set in your Display subsection of Screen. Here's what my Screen section looks like:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
(the line(s) in bold are the ones you need to make sure you have)
If this still doesn't work, make sure that you have the appropriate Modeline set. I chose to make a Modes section like this:
Section "Modes"
Identifier "16:10"
Modeline "1680x1050 (GTF)" 154.20 1680 1712 2296 2328 1050 1071 1081 1103
EndSection
Your Modeline probably won't look like mine. Hopefully, you know the specs of your monitor (or can look them up). You can use this tool to generate the Modeline for you:
http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
Finally, make sure that the Monitor section includes your HorizSync and VertRefresh options. These are values specific to your monitor (again, you'll need to look up your monitor's specs)
Here's my Monitor section
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 30-83
VertRefresh 60
Option "DPMS"
UseModes "16:10"
EndSection
Log out and log back in. If the problem persists, reboot your monitor as described above.
I hope this post will help someone, someday!
Hi-
You can plug a DVI-I dual link female into the DVI-I single male on a graphics card.
From the outside, the male has all the holes for all the pins on the DVI dual, there are just no wires attached to the center group of the DVI single male.
The Radeon 9800 is a DVI-I single link card. There is no getting around it.
The maximum supported digital resolution for a Radeon 9800 is 1920x1200:
http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9800/radeon9800prome/specs.html
This said, the 30" Cinema Display requires a dual link DVI connection, as equipped on the graphics cards, as listed, in Malcolm's post above.

WinXP-SP2 refuses to allow screen resolution above 640x480
I've had WinXP on a Bootcamp partition for more than a year, working just fine and used occasionally. Yesterday I booted it up & the screen resolution had changed to 640x480. I tried changing it back to the native resolution of my Samsung monitor (1900x1200) using both the Win control Panel "Display" and also the nVidia control panel. XP stubbornly refuses to switch to the higher resolution, even after rebooting.
Windows issues like this, appearing for no reason I can find, are why I bought my MP in 2008. Does anyone have any advice (other than giving up on XP)?Sorry I haven't reported back in a while. I keep thinking of things to try but still haven't solved this issue. These are the things I've done:
Booted to XP Pro, then:
1. Went to Hardware Monitor & tried changing resolution in Display "Settings" menu. No luck. As soon as I clicked on "Apply" the setting changes back to 640x480 resolution. Re-booted into XP Pro with no change.
2. Went to Hardware Monitor & tried the regular "Install Display Driver" routine with Windows searching for the driver. No luck. Still didn't change resolution after reboot & attempted resolution change in "Settings".
3. Tried changing resolution with the nVidia control panel. I clicked on the correct resolution in the list, but as soon as the window closed & I re-opened it, the resolution had changed back to 640x480.
3. Inserted original disk with driver for for my Samsung monitor & tried "load driver from disk". No luck. Same result - resolution would not change after reboot.
4. Went to the nVidia website & found an update for the driver on my 8800GT. Downloaded & attempted to install. Windows reported something to the effect of "That driver is already present".
5. Tried to make changes by booting in VMWare Fusion. The resolution reported there was higher than 640x480, (don't remember what it was though), but NOT the native resolution of my Samsung (1920x1200). Unable to use "Settings" to make a change.
I wan to avoid an erase & reinstall (read: "Hassle with both Windows & VMWare"), but I'm running out of alternatives. One thing left to try - Two years ago I got a program called Winclone & made a couple of clones of the windows partition, several months apart. I've never tried actually installing them (stupid!), but this might be the time. Whatever I lose in that process shouldn't be devastating, just annoying. Is there anyone here in the Forums who has used Winclone successfully?
Or is it just time to bite the bullet & let Windows go? I only use XP for generating fractal images & occasionally doing some 2D drafting with a very old version of AutoCad (v14) which I dearly love. Very occasionally I use it to access websites that won't work with Safari & Firefox. A small voice in me says that I should try "7" on my Mac because all the reviews seem to be quite positive, but I'm not convinced that the expense & hassle would be worth it.
Sorry this is so long. I wanted to include all the steps I tried. Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas or comments. -
Can't Display any item from PersonDetailsVO in SummaryRegion
Using SSHR, OAF personalization I am trying to display some more fields in the
summary region like 'DateOfBirth' & 'FullName' from 'PersonDetailsVO'
I create the item with the below steps:
1) Click on the "Personalize "Summary Region"" link
2) Create a item under "Stack Layout: Summary Region" with message styled text
3) Add Export View Attribute as "FullName"
4) Add View Attribute as "FullName" (for other available field see PersonDetailsVO.xml file)
$per/java/selfservice/common/server/PersonDetailsVO.xml
5) Add View Instance as "PersonDetailsVO"
After creating the item, I can see the prompt only but without data !!
Adding any new item from any VO is the same, only items from AsgSummaryVO is working fine....
Workaround:
1) I added PersonDetailsVO to the Application Module file, SummaryAM.xml by adding the below lines:
<ViewUsage
Name="PersonDetailsVO"
ViewObjectName="oracle.apps.per.selfservice.common.server.PersonDetailsVO" >
</ViewUsage>
Still the same issue, we need to have many fields in the summary region like salary details and some person details .....
Please assist me :)Here's an example.
This one might be a bit complex. It is doing certain rendering depending on the result of the query execution.
You just need to focus on the commands for passing parameters and executing the VO in the initial lines.
OAViewObject oaviewobject84 = (OAViewObject)oaapplicationmodule.findViewObject("PayHoursByRateVO");
oaviewobject84.setWhereClauseParam(0, s2);
oaviewobject84.executeQuery();
if(flag)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "executed PayHoursByRateVO", 1);
boolean flag3 = oaviewobject84.hasNext();
if(flag)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "rateDetailExists = " + flag3, 1);
if(!flag3)
if(oatablebean84 != null)
oatablebean84.setRendered(false);
OAWebBean oawebbean5 = oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("PayPayslipRateDetailsHead");
if(oawebbean5 != null)
oawebbean5.setRendered(false);
return;
} else
if(oatablebean84 != null)
oatablebean84.prepareForRendering(oapagecontext);
int k = oatablebean84.getIndexedChildCount();
for(int l = 1; l < k; l++)
DataObjectList dataobjectlist1 = oatablebean84.getColumnFormats();
DictionaryData dictionarydata1 = (DictionaryData)dataobjectlist1.getItem(l);
if(dictionarydata1 != null)
dictionarydata1.put("columnDataFormat", "numberFormat");
if(flag)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "formatted payRateDetailRegion", 1);

Can't display any content in safari
I guess it was after the last update to Mac OSX 10.4.8, my safari stop working any more. The browser stay blank when I open it (actually it's loading the content in the background
because if i drag the right bottom corner to resize the window, the content appear but stuck at the screen)
It feels like safari stop refreshing the screen.
Is there any way to fix it??
thanksHello Thy,
If I may add to Andy's always good advice, whlist he is off on his boat;-)
In Safari Preferences, Appearance tab: check that,
Display images when page is opened: is√ on.
Could you please post a screenshot of the loaded background Safari window you can use Photobucket to host it.
I tried everything you said, but none of them solve the problem~
still very thanks for helping me
So to recap,
• Safari did not work in the "Test" account
• Reapplying the Combined Update Mac OS X Update 10.4.8 Combo PPC
~•~~•~
Do you use a tool to clean up internet clutter, this is freeware. OnyX Use this article to help you Clearing caches with OnyX
If not please do so.
Did you then reapply the combined update using these steps ? a. Brody lets review... doing a double reboot, after the install.So when the computer promts for a restart, comes back up restart once again.
Please read a. Brodys first post, this applies to all updates after 10.4.6
Try running disc permission repair use this article to help you do that

Item - IMAGE What formats can it display, is there a catch for others?
We use 10g Forms/App server.
Couple of questions about the item IMAGE in forms.
I have a BLOB that I want to display a preview of. What formats does this show and is it the best item to show a preview?
Also if the document stored in the BLOB is not in a format the IMAGE type can render then I would like to just show a standard image (i.e. a No preview available image). What is best way to accomplish this as it is a DB item and i do not want to overwrite the document?The forms version I use just allow JFIF as JPG file.
But today, all JPG files uses EXIF format.
Does anyone know if new versions of forms allow this type and if there is a patch to older versions?

Hello!
I have a big problem with itunes. I can't see a few things in it.
I have attached a picture below.
Also please note, i am a fresh iPhone owner and I run iTunes 10.5 on Windows 7 on 32 bits, and had NO problem with anything until iTunes.Try taking the USB lead out of the PC and plugging into another
Then turn the phone off by holding the power ans home buttons at the same time
the screen should now be dark
press the home button down and keep it down while plugging in the lead to the phone, the apple logo should appear and then the pic of the USB on the screen, keep the button pressed all thru this and your pc should recognise the phone and open itunes (if its not already open )
Hope this works

Can't display non-unicode font
When I try to use Symbol font and display it in JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Thanks for providing those valuable information. it does help to understand some international issue.
however, I am not sure if it apply to Symbol font such as Wingdings, webdings.
Font fontPalatino = new Font( "Palatino LinoType", Font.PLAIN, 25); //unicode font
Font fontMapInfo = new Font( "MapInfo Transportation", Font.PLAIN, 25); // non-unicode font
Font fontWingdings = new Font( "Wingdings", Font.PLAIN, 25);
// use integer number and convert into equivalent character
// e.g. if i is 65 then c is A.
// notes: 65 is a decimal value converted from hex 0041 value
int i = 65;
char c = (char)i;
System.out.println( new Character(c).toString() );
JLabel jlbl = new JLabel();
jlbl.setFont(fontSymbol);
jlbl.setText( new Character(c).toString() );1) I can't display any Wingdings font , any expert can help on this?
2) what is the difference between 0021(character code for Arial font) and 0x21(character code for Wingdings font) shown in character map?When I try to use Symbol font and display it in
JLabel, it show a square.
i have read the article written by John O'Conner
http://www.joconner.com/javai18n/articles/TextDisplay.htm.
Much of that article is now incorrect or unnecessary for JDK 1.5. Because 1.5 knows how to find a font for the character you're trying to display, you should be able to set your label font to any logical font, and the JRE should find a substitute font if necessary that can display the character.
I'll give your code a try and will post results...is the code you've posted the code I should actually experiment with? It seems like you should want to display something different than 0x0065.
Your other questions:
0x0021 is the exclamation mark regardless of font. I see what you mean, however, since the wingdings font in charmap also says 0x0021. However, that mapping is obviously not a Unicode code point mapping.
I looked in the Misc. Symbols and Dingbats section of Uncode. A few characters might be a reasonable substitution for the pencil character you want:
0x270E (LOWER RIGHT PENCIL)
0x270F (PENCIL)
0x2710 (UPPER RIGHT PENCIL)
I didn't see any mirror images of these, ie LOWER LEFT PENCIL and UPPER LEFT PENCIL, although I admit that I didn't look closely.
Maybe one of these will work for you instead of the Wingdings 0x21 character you mentioned.

John O'Conner
