Kdemod display resolution default issue

Hello everyone again. Im currently on my third install of arch and im trying out kdemod this time... one issue i seem to be having tho is that my resolution keeps going to 1600x1200 and i keep having to change it to 1280x1024 at the beggening of my session... how do i fix this? btw i have fglrx drivers. Just to me it seems like there might be a permission problem or something that wont let it write the config, but i dunno where to start to look.

try this. navigate to KMenu -> Control Center -> Peripherals -> Display and mark the box next to message "Apply settings at next startup". Then change your display resolution, and it should work for subsequent logon.

    Hey everyone.... after a quick search I found this old archived post:
    333 iMac OS 10.3.2 screen resolution?
    Posted: Oct 4, 2005 3:50 PM
    My mum is using an elderly 333 MHz iMac, tray-loading. She wanted to upgrade from system 8.6, so I updated the firmware, then installed OS 10.3.2 (10.4 won't run on a tray-loader). Under 8.6 she had the monitor resolution set to 640x480, as it effectively magnified everything for her aging eyes. Unfortunately, under 10.3.2 the 640x480 resolution seems only partially supported - I can set the monitor to that, but a reboot resets it to either 800x600 or 1024x768. Is there any way (a software patch?) that I can force it to reboot consistently with a 640x480 resolution?
    Thanks,
    Roy
    I've basically got the same problem... I've got an iMac blueberry (slot-loading) and have sucessfully installed OS X 10.3 on it. The computer is for my grandpa who has a real hard time seeing... I think the zoom features would be confusing for him as his spatial awareness is also not great. The 640x480 is what I'd like to keep the resolution at however, upon rebooting the computer it goes back to its factory default. Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help!
    ~T

    I will assume that you DO know how to use Terminal to change the default?
    I'm fine in terminal... I just don't know which files to manipulate to change the default resolution. I can't find this information anywhere.
    This would be of great help if you know this information.
    Also, Universal Access settings have been used of course, however, "zoom" would be confusing for him, as noted in my previous post.
    Thanks

  • X1 Display Resolution, Touchscreen Version (Windows 8.1 issue?)

    The display is nice and crisp, but the scaling (read: DPI setting in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display) really sucks. Chrome is all fuzzy fonts at 150% DPI, 100% and 200% is just so OK), and for many applications I have to go into a program's Compatibility settings to disable DPI scaling.
    That would be all fine if I wouldn't use a 24" monitor at work. There the display resolution is lower (yes, lower at 1900x1200 than the touchscreen's insanse resolution). So every time I switch displays I need to set DPI from 150% back to 100%, and also Chrome's default  zoom from 150% back to 100%... sucks. And of course all the icon sizes and most of the window scaling does not change until I log off and log on again.
    Also, disconnecting the display -- or putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up again -- is a constant struggle. Most of the time the display resolution is a weird 1024 and extended displays then, and have to disconnect and reconnect the Lenovo Display Link hub to make it work again.
    You would think that by now either Lenovo or Microsoft have figured out a way to work with different screens. While setting up my software and dropbox and software development environment was fast, the DPI issue and screen issue (and "Adaptive Function Bar... dont get me started!!!) really sucks.

    Hi thinkstorm, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community! 
    The main issue is that app developers (like Dropbox) have not tailored their apps for the leading-edge 2560x1440 resolution. Until that happens, we have to make do .
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • Graphics card issue/display resolution with 30" display

    I've got a PowerMac G5 with a ATI Radeon 9800TX graphics card. I recently bought a 30" Apply Cinema Display but I can't get the display resolution on the computer to go any higher than 1280x800. I've read through some of the other postings and tired moving the cable from one DVI port to the other but that didn't work. If I don't get this thing working properly soon...Apple is going to get this monitor back.

    I bought the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac Edition
    Do you mean the PC & MAC Edition?
    Sometimes if I reboot it several times it works. When it works it's great resolution. The problem is every time you power down it's a battle for the computer to boot up. So, I took the card out until I can figure out why it's causing problems during start up. I followed the instructions to the letter when installing the card. First the software, then remove/replace the card.
    Any suggestions as to why the computer sometimes boots up and other times not?
    Probably a bad graphics card. Some versions of that card had that problem with some G4s, but worked with G5s. Maybe the current version fails on both G4s and G5s.

  • Display resolution and Mac OS X 10.5.7

    I am now using my Mac mini (early 2009) as my primary computer (new aluminum keyboard and an LG 23" LCD HDTV) and have sent the iMac Core Duo to "the boys" room for them to use. But they have called my attention to the display resolution a few times since I updated it to 10.5.7. The iMac seems to be lost as to what its default resolution should be. It was always set 1024x768, but that appears really tiny onscreen.
    I also have noticed a large number of folks in the Mac mini (early 2009) forums complaing that after the update, they have lost the native resolutions they previously used with the mini and HDTVs when setup as a media center.
    Has anyone here noticed resolution issues following updating to 10.5.7? Have you found a way to correct the issue?

    Hi David
    No problems here with the 10.5.7 update, the resolution on my 17" is and always has been set to 1440x900 Millions both before and after the update. +(1440x900 is the native res. for a 17" display)+
    If I switch the iMac Display to 1024x768 Millions it makes everything larger and slightly blurred, again the same before and after the update.
    Also note that the settings for my connect 27" Sharp flat screen TV are 1024x768 60Hz (NTSC) Millions was not affected in anyway. I always run my setup in Extended Desktop, but if I switch to Mirroring then both the iMac and TV Displays go to 1024x768.
    Sound to me like it has something to do with selecting the Mirroring/(Extended Desktop)Mirroring Off feature...?

  • Display resolution ...do not localize?

    it can not allowed me to change display resolution ...it says do not localize?

    Found a solution mentioned here as well. The issue comes when your OS X language is not english as Default.
    Try changing it back to English (System preferences / languages and text /  Language / Drag english to the top of your prefered languages)
    Then reboot. Voilà, it has to fix the issue.

  • Qosmio G30-E10: Display resolution switches from 1920x1200 to 1024x768

    Hello,
    Qosmio G30-E10 Display resolution switches sometimes from 1920x1200 (my default) to 1024x768 after returning from Standby or Hibernation
    i run Vista Ultimate, newest Display Driver from Toshiba Download Area.
    This doesn't happened any time, but sometimes!
    Any solution for this nerved situation.
    Kind regards
    Uwe Meyer, Germany

    Hi Uwe
    A friend of mine has tested the G30 PQG32 series and he has never noticed such issues.
    He has set the G30 to standby mode and hibernation mode on different ways and everything looks ok! The display resolution stays on 1920x1200.
    By the way; only the Qosmio G30 with HD-DVD drive supports this high resolution.
    Now I would like to clarify the zooming utility questions;
    The FN + Space combination does not enable the zooming utility but it changes between the display resolutions!!!
    I have used the FN + Space and it changed to 1024x768 or 800 x 600. It depends how often you will use this combination.
    The Toshiba zooming utility which can be enabled using the FN + 1 or 2 zoom in or zoom out the images of internet explorer, word, etc
    So finally the FN + Space and FN + 1 or 2 are completely different functions!!! Please don't mix it!
    > think, it has something to do with the Toshiba Zoom-Utility, because it is possible to switch back to 1920x1200 with the Zoom-Utility
    I think you have used the FN+Space and this has changed the display resolution. This is ok!

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.

  • Leopard "Forgets" External Display Resolution

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro C2D (Oct 2006 revision) that I use at work with an external display (Dell E197FP) that is connected to the laptop via the DVI-to-VGA adaptor. The Dell has a native display resolution of 1280*1024 @60Hz and this is set via the System Preference's Display panel. The problem is that quite often when I connect the display in the morning OS X (10.5.6, at present) "forgets" the resolution that has been set and reverts back to its default for the display, which is 1152*864 @75Hz. It is baffling to me that it keeps forgetting the selected resolution for the display, despite recognising it, and that it selects such an odd resolution as a default. This happens about once per week at the moment.
    Does anyone have an idea what is causing this and how I can stop OS X from being so forgetful?

    Are you getting one to extend your desktop? I don't, I use my MacBook with the screen off using my external only with a keyboard and mouse plugged in. I run my Late 2008 2.1GHz MacBook with a GMA X3100 using a 23" Samsung wide ratio no problem in 1680x1050. It is high resolution. Make sure you click "mirror" in Display Prefs. Be certain that you don't simply boot to both because the external will appear grainy and only be putting out the native 1280 X 800 13" MacBook resolution on the new big LCD. There are many different ways to achieve this. With the LCD on and hooked to the MacBook, turn the MacBook on then quickly close lid after the chime. Give it some time. After it boots to the external, I open the lid to provide proper airflow, some may argue it's not needed.

  • External display resolution

    I have Dell up2414q monitor which is capable of displaying up to 3840 x 2160. But when I connect my 11-inch Macbook Air (the latest 2014 model), which is capable of 2560 x 1600, shows only 1920 x 1080. This is the highest resolution listed in display setting.
    I'm using Display Port cable and enabled Display Port 1.2 setting on the monitor. I went to Apple Store and asked, but they had no idea what was wrong. My OS is 10.9.3.

  • Cannot  set display resolution after upgrading to Mavericks

    I have early Mac Mini  connected to KVM stitch.  Over the weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and it "dowgraded" display resolution from 1920x1200 to 1600x1200 and everythign looks streached.  1920x1200  no longer shows on the list in display properties (1920x1440 shows but it does not look good on my screen). I googled Option key trick and hitting "Scaled" while hold Option key does show some additional resolutions, but not the one I used to have. 
    Connecting Mac directly to the monitor allowed me to set proper resolution and after removing monitor and pluging mac back into KVM things "held" untill Mac goes to sleep or until reboots.
    I am aware that my KVM switch does not communicate EDID but things did work just fine before upgrade to Mavericks.

    Hello curtdav,
    It sounds like you are getting a graphical anomoly when unplugging an external monitor. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Cannot change display resolution when connected to external display

    On my 2.0GHz 13" MacBook, I have no problem with the display resolution when connecting to external display/projector when I am running in Mac OS, everything work perfectly! But things start to get messy when I am running in Windows VISTA 32 (installed within the Boot Camp 2.1). Whenever I connect to any external display/projector via a MiniDisplay-to-VGA cable, the resolutions on both my MacBook LCD and external display/projector drop to 640x480. And i am not able increase the resolution in the Display Settings. Does this mean that I have not installed the latest version of display drivers? Or is it that Apple did not provide the VISTA 32 drivers (in Boot Camp 2.1) that is compatible with the Mini Display port.

    Cool!
    I'm glad you have it fixed.

  • Display resolution too big at startup

    After updating ITunes, every time I boot the computer up, the screen display/resolution is at least twice as large as it should be. Not a problem before. It fixes itself by closing the lap top for approx 15 seconds ... or going into System Prefereces/Display and adjusting. Any suggetions to have it boot up correctly again?

    Good Luck.

  • Display resolution is different left and right sides

    Hi, my HP G42 laptop now has a different display resolution on the left and right sides. The left half seems to have less resolution than the right side, the right side looks like it's in HD, the left side looks washed out. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a setting/software issue. The first time it appeared was after a windows 7 update was completed and installed, I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It works but is very annoying to look at.
    Thank you,
    Ray

    Hi Ray_M,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having a problem with two different resolutions on each half of your screen. The easiest way to determine where the problem lies is to connect it to an external monitor. If the image is normal then we know it is an issue with the display screen but if the issue occurs on the external monitor then we know it is a problem with the drivers or the video card itself.
    What is the product number for your g42? There are a number of different models in that series.
