I want 1680x1050
Card 3dfx voodoo 3 3000 AGP
Monitor Teac T2005S12 LCD 8:5 (Identified as KTC2002) connected wth VGA
I played with xorgconfig and xorg.conf manually and tried
res 1680x1050 1400x1050 1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768
color depths 16 24

xorg fails to start when i use tdfx driver (no such thing tdfx)
Works 1280 max with vesa
Tried to add a modeline manually http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO885 … onfig.html
Tried to comment / uncomment videoram and the vga device
parts from my current xorg.conf . It works 1280 allthough all modes except 1680 are commented

Can't make ATI radeon use 1680x1050 resolution
I can't get my ati card to display 1680x1050 resolution in xorg. I'm running xorg 7.1 and the newest ati drivers. but I only get 1600x854 (or something) when trying to set it to 1680x1050. My video card is ATI Radeon Mobility 9700. Do I need to update the firmware of the card, or is there a setup issue?

Missing external display 1920x1080 resolution, only shows 1680x1050... Please HELP !
When connecting my Macbook Air (mid 2011) to an external LG 22" Display (M2241A) which supports a native resolution of 1920x1080, the closest setting available in the display preferences is 1680x1050, and aspect ratio is really distorted at this size. I use an Apple mini-display-port to HDMI, and HDMI cable to connect the Monitor.
What can I do to correct this problem ? How do I make the 1920x1080 available and get rid of the distortion ?Thanks for your quick answer, but... When I use the 1080p resolution, I need to use Underscan, and the colors change, the fonts get all blurry and overall definition goes really bad. Really seems like a TV setting.
Maybe okay to watch a movie, but not to work in Photoshop and get design work done properly.
The external display only has HDMI + VGA inputs.
So I guess the next step is to try finding a different connector (mini-display to VGA) But I am now in Chile, Patagonia, and believe me, this will be quite a challenge to find !!! Also, no way to buy at Apple online store and get it shipped here in Chile... :-((( -
How to make Help view well on both laptops and desktops
Hi -- I'm trying to learn RoboHelp 7 and just created my first WebHelp project. I want to show it to a friend, but don't have a server I can publish it to, so I copied all the files onto my flash drive and put it on my laptop. It all works fine, which is a relief -- however, the custom colors are way off, and some of the screenshots are now too big, so the user would have to scroll (which can be annoying). I created it on my desktop and have been looking at it on a larger monitor (1680x1050), but the laptop is old (1024x768). The thing is, a lot of people might have to view it on 800x600.
I couldn't find any information in RH's Help about how I should have set it up so that it views well on different systems. I'm hoping someone could please advise me as to what I should have done, and if there's anything I can do now to fix it, or point me to some information. I used Arial 10 pt for the text, and now it looks 12 pt. Should I have made it 8 pt? Is there a rule for how large an image should be to be viewed on a laptop and a desktop?
One last thing, it's too large to put on a CD, so is does anyone know how to make this into an executable?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
DarylHi Daryl
I use an eBook compiler to convert WebHelp to an executable file. You might investigate eBook compilers for that bit. However, I'm not sure how that would help you since a compiler will do little more than to take a swarm of WebHelp files and store them in a wrapper to create a single file. Generally you will end up with something that although it exists as a single file, is larger than what is inside.
Are you SURE it's too big for CD? CD will hold 650 megs (700 if you buy the extended types).
On the screen size issue WebHelp itself should adapt fine. Probably it's the images you are concerned with. And the general rule of thumb is to capture images at a reasonable size to begin with. Never EVER just insert a big ole image into RoboHelp and grab the sizing handle to make it smaller. It will still consume a larger amount of space and the quality will suffer badly. So the best approach is to copy the image at a reasonable size to begin with. Something that may fit nicely in the Topic Pane area as it is presented in the space provided by the lowest common denominator. In your case I believe you said that many are still at 800x600.
Your 10 point text will still be 10 points at a smaller resolution. It will just look a bit different.

Best way to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard and make a backup - help!
Hello, I have always found this discussion board the best place to go to get advice on my mac. I have an imac with Tiger OS. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard - just bought the box set. I also have an external HD. I want to make a backup of my current system onto the hard drive in case of problems. How do I do this? Once I have done this, should I do an upgrade to SL or do a clean-install? Please advise - I have average tech abilities. Thank you!!!!!
I like KT's advice, and would add some words from a very knowledgeable mac person - John Gruber @ http://daringfireball.net/
I Believe in Murphy’s Law
Friday, 26 October 2007
Here’s how I recommend installing major new OS releases for typical users. (Atypical users would include anyone who ran developer seeds of the OS.)
First, make a complete backup of your current boot volume to an external FireWire drive using SuperDuper. (Carbon Copy Cloner would be my second choice.)
If you don’t back up daily — or at least very regularly — you’re foolish. If you don’t back up before upgrading your OS, you’re really foolish. I use SuperDuper’s “Smart Update” feature to clone my boot volume every night — the “smart” aspect is that it only changes the files that have changed since the previous backup. Before I install an upgrade, I quit every running app and run a fresh backup to create a snapshot of my boot volume. That way, if anything goes wrong, I can revert to exactly the state the system was in before installing the upgrade.
Next, boot from your external backup volume to make sure that it works. What you want to see is something that looks exactly like booting from your regular internal hard drive. Since I’ve been using SuperDuper, this has always been the case — I have never failed to successfully boot from my backup drive. Better safe than sorry, though, so I never skip this step.
Next, shut down the computer, and unplug the external backup volume. The odds of an OS installation corrupting a plugged-in FireWire volume are very small. The odds of an OS installation corrupting a FireWire volume that is not plugged in are zero.
Then boot from the installer DVD, follow the on-screen instructions, and perform a default upgrade. The default upgrade is the best choice for most users almost all the time. The reason Apple makes it the default and most obvious way to upgrade is that it’s the most convenient, and most tested upgrade path.
Update 28 Aug 2009: Starting with Snow Leopard, instead of booting from the DVD directly, you should instead pop in the installer DVD and launch the “Install Mac OS X” app on the disc. This will reboot your machine from the DVD, yes, but first it will download any necessary software updates that have come out since the disc was pressed. It’s a subtle but very nice improvement to the installer.
Arguments that there is something mysteriously dangerous or deficient about the default upgrade procedure — and that you should do a clean install instead, followed by tedious hours manually migrating software and data and preferences from your old installation — are voodoo. Apple’s installer engineers spend a ton of time making the default upgrade procedure as convenient as possible.
If you’re not a typical user; like, say, if you’ve been running pre-release developer seeds of Leopard, or if you’ve diddled with your 10.4 system software in unholy ways and really would like a factory-fresh start with 10.5, then I recommend the Archive and Install option. (That’s what I do, when upgrading from previous developer seeds.)
So, in short:
Do a complete backup clone to an external FireWire drive.
Test that the backup is indeed bootable and up to date.
Unplug the backup drive.
Pop in the installer DVD and launch the “Install Mac OS X” app.
If anything goes wrong in step 4, you have nothing to worry about, because you know that you have a complete, bootable backup.
Most people, of course, skip directly to step 4. And the odds are it’ll work out just fine for them. I say, why take a chance? -
Tecra A2: Cannot use the 1680x1050 resolution on external LCD monitor
Hi All,
I need to make my Tecra A2 run at 1680x1050 at 60Hz for my new external VW222U LCD monitor which is connected to my port replicator.
I know the card (which is 82852/82855) can run at this resolution as when using the Intel Embedded drivers it works, just one has to give up all the little nice things when using the standard drivers, like monitor switching etc....
I have been discussing on many forums over at Intel's site why this resolution is not available by default, it appears that it is not a resolution enabled in the video BIOS which the display drivers read by default, so the vendor need to add it, the reason that the embedded drivers work, is that they don't read this directly from the video BIOS....
Thanks and regards,
AdamHi,
I know that issue, but we have to live with it because it seems that the graphics card vendors are giving some really "default" drivers to the notebook manufacturers.
I have an Satellite Pro S200 and I also use the Intel drivers from the Intel homepage. But my monitorswitching, etc.. works like a charm so maybe if you install the tools like the "FN-F5" etc.. it would probably work.
I would give it a try, otherwise: it is like it is.. :/

No 1680x1050 Resolution for External Monitor?
Hello, forum friends! So after getting a very nice 22"-ish Envision Monitor connected via VGA to my 2011 Macbook Pro, it appears that there is no option for the monitor's recommended resolution, which is 1680x1050! The highest level resolution is 1600x1200, which makes everything look a little stretched out. Does anyone know how to adjust this manually, or has anyone else had this problem? I've heard that this is a new problem from the recent display update.
Thanks for your help!
- Catboy. Meow!Hmm, I've appeared to solve my own problem! I simply used the application SwitchResX. It worked very well.
Hope this helps someone else, then!

Macbook and T220HD (22 display). 1680x1050 doesnt work anymore !
Hi! I have a macbook with a 22 inches external display (samsung t220hd). It was working fine for 9 months but i have a problem now... Last week i get my adapter (minidvi to vga) to other display to see a movie... but when i plugged it again at home... it doesnt worked fine.
The macbook doesnt detect the screen like "syncmaster", now it says "Screen" and i cant choose the optimal mode in resolution menu (1680x1050). I fully erased the hd and reinstalled OSX and nothing...
I have the minidvi to dvi too, but it doesnt work in the dvi port or the hdmi port.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot !Maybe. Could be the heads bouncing against the platters - could be the optical drive. Best to take your machine to your local Apple Store and have them diagnose the problem. They can tell you if your data is salvageable.
In the future - make certain that you have one, if not more, backups - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045.

Satellite P200-1FT: 1680x1050 @ 60Hz not available on external 22" TFT
Hi,
I bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1FT some months ago (Graphic card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600). I wanted to use a 22" Hanns G HG216DP with its native resolution of *1680x1050px @ 60Hz* as a primary external monitor.
I connected my notebook to the TFT over HDMI. Unfortunately I cannot select this display setting in the Catalyst Control Panel. There is only 1680x1050 @ 30Hz available :(
Has anybody got the same problem? How can I fix it?
Thank you very much,
XeroXJayjay is right. Sometimes these issues can be caused by a bad cable, but I doubt this in your case.
Maybe you could try a HDMI 1.3 cable. You can get this in nearly every well sorted electronics store.
I remember that there was an option in the Catalyst control panel. Make sure the "Reduce DVI frequency on high-resolution displays" is unchecked. Helps for high resolutions. -
Samsung 206BW can't display 1680X1050
Just got my macbook in these few days, however, I found my Samsung 206BW LCD display distorted image when I tried to connect my macbook with a mini-DVI -> DVI cable. (actually, this monitor can support up to 1680X1050 and it works when I connected it with my windows desktop). For macbook case, it displays properly in 1360X768 but not 1680X1050, I want to know whether it's my macbook problem or the Samsung monitor doesn't support macbook in 1680X1050?
See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7336558�
It's a different Samsung monitor but the same might apply. That would make the fourth or fifth Samsung monitor mentioned on these forums that left the factory with the wrong firmware installed. Samsung seems to have a quality control problem with this. -
Can java app programmer make secure app?
I am the author of the Interactive Color Wheel. It (in various versions) has been on the web since 1998, and has been very popular. With the recent hysteria about Java security, I have observed hits fall off dramatically. While it is not commercial and I'm not losing money, the drop-off still concerns me.
So the question is, until such time as Oracle fixes it, what can I as an app programmer do to alleviate the problem?
It seems quite ironic that the java app "sandbox", which was supposed to ensure security, seems to be the very source of the current problem. As far as I know, my app:
* uses the screen
* accesses the mouse and keyboard
* accesses resources within its own JAR
It does not:
* access the web
* write/read cookies (or do anything else on the file system)
With these limitations, is my app even dangerous?I'm ignorant concerning the plug-in magic that gives a Java applet a sandbox to run in which protects the rest of the computer (and the world!) from devious programmers. How I view it is the Java Run Time (JRT) does not need a browser plug-in, but the plug-in needs the JRT. That would make them two separate things. If the plug-in for Java 6 releases was safe, why cannot it be packaged with the Java 7 JRT?
Yes it was a rant -- not really at the whole world, but the journalists and supposed experts they interviewed. And certainly not directed at anyone here! I did not even know there was a problem until I allowed the JRT to upgrade last week, and my app would not run normally any more. At first I blew it off as "the installation screwed up". So I de-installed and re-installed the upgrade several times, and the security block did not go away.
So I was frustrated but not yet angry. Then during the weekend I got serous about tracing down the problem, and discovered there really was a security issue. From my first question, you can see I still did not understand, thinking that devious internet Voodoo could make my app insecure. If that were the case, how would I block the Voodoo?
Then I learned here that my applet was not in fact insecure. The press and "experts" were just telling people it (Java in general) was. I don't know what you have read, but there are some ridiculous claims being made. Not just disable Java for the time being (which the browsers are doing automatically now), but that it is inherently unsafe. Completely uninstall it and never re-install. Or the problem is so bad, it will take Oracle two years to fix. I know as a programmer those extreme claims are foolish, and I allowed that to affect me emotionally. I apologize. -
Widescreen resolutions LOWER than 1680x1050?
I have a MSI Geforce 7600 GS AGP 256mb graphic card and a Samsung 226BW monitor. My problem is, that I can't get any widescreen resolutions that are LOWER than the native 1680x1050. This is a problem, because I don't own the fastest machine (a 3ghz P4), so running games in the native resolution is impossible. Anybody who knows what to do here? Is it my graphic card that just doesn't support these resolutions, or is there something you can do about it?
I have updated my nvidia drivers, without any luck. I also tried to make all resolutions available, but this only gave me widescreen resolutions HIGHER than 1680x1050, which is no good...

7600GS supports widescreen natively.
I think as far as gaming resolution is concern, the game should automatically refer the setting that the game is running. -
JFileChooser voodoo (what in the world is going on
Hi all,
I have the following sequence in my code (notice the 3 printouts):
protected void paint() // override for a canvas method
doFileStuff();
System.out.println("after" + Thread.currentThread().getId()); // <-- print
private DNA doFileStuff()
try
System.out.println("filing:" + Thread.currentThread().getId()); // <-- print
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
chooser.addChoosableFileFilter(new FileFilter()
public boolean accept(File pathname)
return pathname.isDirectory() ||
pathname.getName().substring(pathname.getName().lastIndexOf('.') + 1).equalsIgnoreCase("dna");
public String getDescription()
return "DNA files (*.dna)";
int result = chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
System.out.println("unfiling:" + Thread.currentThread().getId()); // <-- print
if (result == JFileChooser.ERROR_OPTION)
throw new IOException();
if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
return null;
File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
ObjectInputStream inputstream = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(file.getAbsolutePath()));
int[] nucleotides = (int[])inputstream.readObject();
inputstream.close();
return new DNA(nucleotides);
catch (Exception e)
// TOMER: add error message here
return null;
}This is run in the context of the AWT-EventQueue-0 thread with id 14.
When i run this i get the file dialog to show which is great.
However when i don't click on anything, don't choose a file and just let it stand there, the printouts i am seeing in the output are:
filing: 14
after: 14
after: 14
after: 14
after: 14
after: 14not getting the middle "unfiling" print which makes sense since the call "showOpenDialog" should be blocking (as far as i know).
but i'd also expect to not see the "after" print.
what is going on here?
I am assuming repaint is being called again and again but since the dialog is opened from the eventqueue thread those repaint events should be ignored until the file is chosen no?
It is either something very voodoo-ish or i am missing something very basic (i assume the latter :))
Thanks for any help in advanceI know it's a shot in the dark without a proper SSCCE, but hey I do what I want with my pause time!
So, OP:
- first, it is a very bad idea to spawn a dialog boxfrom a paint(Graphics) method (your paint method has no argument, but as you say it's an override I assume you forgot it).
Paint(Graphics) is designed to, well, paint the component on screen, according to its current state.
A paint(Graphics) method is also designed to be called on the event-dispatch-thread (EDT), which is dedicated to handle graphical events including "paint events", so it must execute quickly. In particular, business logic, file reading, and worst of all, waiting for user input, is not relevant in a paint() method.
I am assuming repaint is being called again and again but since the dialog is opened from the eventqueue thread those repaint events should be ignored until the file is chosen no?You don't know if they are repaint(), or paintImmediately() calls. You could set a breakpoint in a debugger, or log the stack trace, to know where these paint(...) calls come from.
I don't know the details, but opening a dialog (at least a modal one) from the EDT somehow suspends the "regular" EDT (the showOpenDialog() is a blocking call), and spawns a dedicated EDT (after all, the dialog itself needs to handle user events to detect press on OK/close/cancel). I don't know which is the extent (in terms of components covered) of the spawned EDT.
I ackowledge it's surprising to see the (seemingly) same thread log these traces, as per this assumption some of the logs at least should be from another thread.
But as you show only an extract of code, and apparently have modified the code during your experiments, I can't put too much faith into the code and log you posted. You'll probably have to provide this damn SSCCE to get more help.
