IBook G4 display size problem

I ran the Safari 4.0 update and restarted my iBook G4 (PowerPC). Now the display is slightly larger than my actual screen size, and the graphics quality is worse -- everything appears slightly out of focus. As I move the mouse around, the display moves also; for example, if I move the mouse to the upper left, the Apple menu icon comes into view, but I can't see the dock on the right, and if I move the mouse to the right, the dock comes into view, but the Apple menu moves beyond the edge of the screen. I looked at the Displays menu; I'm set at 1024x768, and my only other options are 640x480 and 800x600, neither of which helps. What has happened, and how do I get my old display back?

I posted this same question on MacRumors, and someone told me how to solve my problem. For some reason, the zoom function (for people with vision problems) had been turned on. I went to System Preferences -> Universal Access and turned zoom off. Problem solved. Only question remaining is how it turned on in the first place. There's apparently a quick-key combination to turn it on, so I'll blame the cat walking across the keyboard.

Video to sequnce display size problem

Hi all,
I am in a bit confusion. I made a video through lumion software in nHD resolution of 640 x 360. Premier has preset display resolutions that stop me from using my video resolution as native for the sequence. When i provide custom resolution in the sequence settings... it opens up with the same but gives away 2 black vertical borders at ends making my widescreen aspect to normal screen.. My question is... how can is how can i resolve this problem. I want my sequence to adapt itself as per the imported video without cropping or making borders which is a good feature in After effects.
Regards and thanks in Advance

Tecra 730XCDT display size problem - possible to fix?

At 1024 768, the screen is full, but on changing to 800600 and 640480, the visible screen shrinks slightly and drastically in that order. Is it possible to get a lower resolution screen to completely fill the display area?
I've already got the BIOS to stretch text, but there is no setting to stretch graphics.
If someone has got this working, can they send me the name of the driver file, and I will hopefully find it somewhere to install it?

Thanks for replying. Its a Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT which I bought secondhand. It had Windows 95 installed on it, which I upgraded immediately to Windows 98 Second Edition.
I just wondered who else out there might still use this computer and could check whether it is supposed to shrink a lower resolution picture. If so, fine. If not, I have caused the problem by upgrading the operating system. I can regress it back to W95 if I am sure that the correct display driver is on the W95 installation disk. If not, Toshiba put it on, and I would like someone to peek at their driver details and if possible send me the driver.
Thanks again!

Wrong ibook display size

to the forum:
I just purchased a second hand ibook. It came
with Tiger installed and no original system disks.
(The CPU is a 700 MHz PowerPCG3 and there is 640MB
of ram) Although I didn't do much with the machine
under Tiger, everything seemed to be working fine.
In particular, the whole ibook screen was used.
I got the original system disks from Apple and
proceeded with Software Restore. That erased Tiger
and replaced it with earlier system software.
I can boot into system 9 and system 10, BUT
the display (under both systems) is about the size
of the 1984 mac display (surrounded by a large black
border). Otherwise everything is working.
In system 9, the system profiler shows the
display card leading to display(2) which
has a screen size of 640 by 480. The monitor
panel in the control strip shows the
same thing along with "color LCD (1) 1024 by 768".
I don't know why two displays are shown.
In system 10, I can't find anything about the
display size, but it may be at the bottom
of a window I can't see (because of small screen).
Any help would be much appreciated.

You're Welcome Roger!
"... the 10.2.8 combo did help. In OS X 10.2.8, the display is now the right size."
Yippee!
"... booting into System 9 still leads to the small display. Perhaps I should start a new topic in the System 9 forum."
It's been so long since I used OS 9, I couldn't even begin to troubleshoot it!
You're correct, there are some very knowledgeable members in the OS 9 forum, but eww has a handle on it here too.
"...you are running 10.3.9 and 9.2.2 on one of your machines. Can you boot into 9 on that machine? And does Classic run also?"
Yes and yes. But I can't remember the last time I booted into OS 9, or started Classic.
I'm a total OS X junkie. After installing Panther 10.3.x, I never looked back!
I'll take the liberty of anticipating your next question though

Trying to make a flex application scalable in its display size by using a "Host-swf" - Problem

We created a flex application using Flex 3. What we are
trying to do is to make this application scalable in its display
size. That means we want the application to scale itself to exactly
fit the size of the browser window without using a scrollbar like
normal Flash-swfs do. Sadly flex application don't scale like a
normal flash swf.
To get a workaround for this we created a so called
"Host-swf" with flash CS3. This Host-swf loads the flex application
and adds it as a child. And voila: When calling the Host-swf our
application can scale.
We used this code to achive this:
var oUrlRequest:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("Flex-Application.swf");
var oURLLoader:Loader = new Loader();
oURLLoader.load(oUrlRequest);
addChild(oURLLoader);
This works perfectly as long the browser window is larger
then the resolution of the host-swf (900*600) when calling the url
for the application:
Picture showing the
scaling
But it doesnt't work out when the browser window is smaller
than 900*600. The application is then shown with a scrollbar, and
when resizing the browser window the scrollbar is still there:
Picture showing the
application with scrollbar
Maybe anyone already tried to achive the same thing and has a
different solution for us?
Thank you in advance!

When I set the Application width and height to a percentage
number, it will
change its size based on the size of the window.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

How to set a uniform display size of multiple intermedia image types - wher

I have read "If you want to limit the size of the file that can be uploaded, you can do this as a post generation
step, by adding the maxFileSize property to the <controller> element in the struts-config:
This does not address how to limit the *** display size *** where you have multiple intermedia image types - where the original size is not uniform.
If an image is uploaded where the true image display size is 1024 x 768 - it will display that way in the table/table-form. This will create un-even display size's where previous images sizes where different 384 x 384 and so on.
Is there a way to encode the display size so that *** ALL *** images regardless of their true size are displayed uniformly at least on one dimension (64 x ???)? This is possible when using products such as Dreamweaver or Flash.
BTW - JHS/***JDev*** synergy is truely magnificient!!! Way-To-Go Oracle!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
BG...

Bill,
I did some tests, and was able to reproduce it. The problem is that JHeadstart distinguishes between display types fileDownload and image, but UIX uses the same <media> tag to handle both display types. It will look at runtime whether it must render a hyperlink to download the document, or to render it right away as an image.
To get all images the same size, you can set the display width and height, AND the display type must be set to image.
However, to get the file name used as download link, you must set the FileName attribute AND the display type must be set to "fileDownload" ..
So, to solve your problem, it is easiest to set the displayType to "fileDownload" and set the width and height properties post-generation in the generated UIX page.
In the next release of Jheadstart, we will fix this, and always pick up width, height and fileName settings regardless of the display type.
Note that you should also set the FileName property against the attribute you are using to upload the file.

Display Size of the Visual Admininstrator

I have an interesting problem - the display size of the Visual Administrator in one of my Netweaver systems has opened very small - I cannot stretch it any bigger. In all the rest of my systems the Visual Admininstrator opens full screen (we are AIX-UNIX).
I think I can probably solve the problem by rebooting the server but I would like to know if there is any way to control the size of the Visual Admininstrator? Is there a configuration file or something similar?
Thanks
Patrick

Hello Patrick ,
I have no idea how to resize the visual admin.
But the easiest thing to do is to install the visiual admin locally on a windows desktop.
Be shure you have installed jre 1.4.2 on your windows desktop.
Then copy the complete /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSXX/j2ee/admin
directory to your windows desktop.
Just doubleclick on the go.bat and the visual admin starts.
Create the desired connections and youre finished.
Have fun,

Setting Display Size in X

Connecting a laptop to a new 42" Panasonic monitor (TC-L42E60), I found
the display to be blurry.
xrandr shows this line:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
Use the same hardware, on my co-worker's older 42" monitor, I see:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 930mm x 520mm
A physical size of 698mm x 392mm is closer to 32". I assume there is a
problem with the monitor's EDID (the monitor's firmware is up to date).
Does anyone know how to manually set the physical size? I fiddled
around with 'xrandr --fbmm' but to no avail.

Before making changes, I see these two lines in the output of xrandr:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
And this information from Xorg.log:
$ grep monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[225833.747] (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[225833.747] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".

[225834.680] (II) intel(0): Output DP3 has no monitor section

I then created this file:
$ vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"

DisplaySize 930 520 # In millimeters
EndSection
I now see this in Xorg.log:
$ grep monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[226022.951] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".

[226023.880] (II) intel(0): Output DP3 has no monitor section
[226024.699] (II) intel(0): Monitor name: Panasonic-TV
But in the output of xrandr, I see no change to the display size:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
I understand my laptop screen is LVDS1 but I was hoping to see have a
display size of 930mm x 520mm.
1) Does anyone know how to define HDMI2 in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf ?
2) Does anyone know how to override the DisplaySize?
Maybe if I get '1' to work, '2' will follow, but I figured I'd ask.

Safari 5 display size?

Every time I open Safari 5 in Windows 7 Professional I have to Zoom in twice to get a suitable display size on my google.com homepage.
Even adjusting the two font sizes in Preferences/Appearance has no apparent effect.
Also, what's the simplest way to return to my homepage?
Thanks, Don

Thank you. I tried that but the pinch feature does not work for some reason. There could be some other problem in my general settings but short of doing a complete reset I looked and tried everything to remedy the problem. I am relatively new to Mac world so maybe I am overlooking some other obvious solution. One thing I did do is to download Opera which seems to work better as far as page display goes. Pinch function works but I cannot make the page stay the smaller size I pinch to, page stretches back to original size the minute I take my fingers off the screen!

Do you still see the about:newtab page with the 3x3 tiles?
Did you modify the number of rows and columns on this page?

NTSC DVDSP Project. Asset size problems?

Hi,
I am making my first NTSC DVD from transcoded (previously PAL) assets. My friend (with a PC) transcoded them for me. Now the problem is that despite QT seeing them as 720x404 resolution, when I import them into DVDSP3 they appear in the Viewer and Simulation as squashed, like an anamorphic picture.
Is it anything to do with the fact that, as QT reports, the file is:
'Normal Size: 720 x 404
Display Size: 953 x 537' ?
If so, how do I change the file's Display Size?
Any help would be appreciated.

When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

Hello all,
When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device? I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign.
Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution? With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration? Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

Facing "Display Flickering" problem with my 15" macbook pro(A1286)while swapping the desktops and closing the tabs.....need help...reply soon

Suggest Solution for this Display Flickering problem ....

Hi, I read the post about calibration and I probably do that a little too often TBH! As I get so little time out the battery and mainly use my MBP on my lap, usually with the power supply near by, it gets charged to full, run to empty to the point of sleep, or sometimes it even cuts out and then is recharged to full again, so I really think it's new battery time. I've seen non Apple Official ones for between £35 and £65 that have 3 year warranties and state they are around 5200mh but am unsure due to reviews.
Later...
Anyway's I have now ordered a non Apple replacement from Amazon for about £35 and it has several good reviews and 4.5 out of 5 stars so I'll see if it works and report back. If it doesn't I'll send it back and get the Official Apple one.
