Max screen resolution different under lion?

okay, is it just me, or does a 4 year old 20" imac have a smaller max resolution under lion than it did before? it's kind of hard to tell if everything is bigger now, but without doubt all the icons on my desktop are a LOT bigger than they were before the upgrade. of course, i went into system prefs - displays and the resolution is set at 1680 x 1050, which is the max choice. i just can't remember what it was set at before.

Screen resolutions are determined by your graphics hardware, not Lion per se. However, the display settings were changed on my Mac mini for the HDMI port after the Lion upgrade, and it keeps resizing all of my windows for minimum resolution on startup, so I'd venture to say that Lion has a few bugs regarding screen resolution that are in need of bug-fix updates.

HP Mini Ability To View Win 8 Metro Under Its MAX Screen Resolution When Released :(

This is just a question and I know it has got to be posted many, many time somewhere. I absolutely love the Mini and when I had some issues after my purchase a few months ago, the fantastic support agent even said when the actual Win 8 is released, it will be so cool on it. Well, one major problem I never caught. While the Mini Desktop portion of Win 8 Consumer preview works great, the HP Mini ability to view Win 8 Metro under Its MAX screen resolution is not possible. Now I know HP does not support the consumer preview as of yet but am I just out of luck by the release date? Will there be some kind of patch or ability for current Mini buyers to use Win 8 Metro when released? I asked this question in a Win 8 forum and the response I got was just that Notebooks are not designed for these kinds of features and are simple in nature. I agree but that is backward having a small device that will not be able to use Windows 8 except on its Desktop and furthermore, something tells me that Minis after 2013 will? Help....

Anyway, I know there is nothing that can be done about it-its just frustrating knowing that in about 7 months, the upgrade will not mean much to these minis and pretty much a new unit within 12 months of an OS release. I doubt MS will lower the resolution rate but the 600 is right at that line for many programs as well. I never would have thought-I am just stuck and was hoping the 210 would be compatible to an OS that is supposed to be friendly with the smaller devices-now this is ironic.

VirtualBox Max Screen Resolution

I've installed Windows 10 Technical Preview in VirtualBox on my Mac and everything went very smooth and fast! But I have a few problems if anyone can please help me.
1. Guest Additions won't install. "Isn't compatible with this version of Windows" I tried to install via CMD also, but VirtualBox does not see it installed (if it did)
2. Because of the first problem, the VM's max screen resolution is 1600x1200, while my Mac's Thunderbolt Display is 2560x1440
I've installed Windows 8.1 Preview before and it worked, so I think it's a problem with Windows.

Both of you must work with VirtualBox to resolve this peculiarity. VirtualBox is not a Microsoft product and is not supported by Microsoft.

Max. screen resolution of secure desktop

Hi there.
I have access to the notebook at my office via Secure Global Desktop. Normally my notebook has a screen resolution of 1280x1024. If I try to access it with this resolution from home I indeed can log on but I only get a blue screen (for about one second I can see the icons on my notebook's desktop).
Using a resolution of 1024x768 everything seems to work fine. But this resolution is too low to work with so that I would have to switch it every evening when I leave the office (to ensure that I could have access in case of emergency).
Is there really a limit concerning the screen resolution? Does anyone know anything about that? Or if not, how would it be possible to access my notebook with the higher resolution!? What would I have to configure in the administration area?
Thanks for every hint.
Regards,
Stephan

I work with 1280x800 and it works perfectly.
One thing you can try is to increase the memory assigned to java to see if it helps.
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit --tuning-jvm-initial <MB>
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit--tuning-jvm-scale <percent>
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit--tuning-jvm-max <MB>
I normally set the initial to 60% of the systems memory, the scale to 150 and the max to 80% of the systems memory.
I this won't help is will make the performance a bit better if the jvm memory was set very low.

Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution, Does Mountain Lion Automatically Change Fonts, Size or Screen Resolution

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, the text in my nav bar and inside browsers (generally all around) seem to be smaller and possibly different (thinner) to what they were before.
I would like to revert back to their previous appearance, but after reading various threads and playing around, nothing seems to work. I'm not sure if the font has been changed, the size adjusted, or the screen/display resolution changed.
I tried suggestions like clearing font cache with Onyx and testing different Display resolutions, but didn't manage to get it back to how it was before the OS upgrade.
Appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction please. TIA.

Could you post a screenshot showing your main menu bar and the Finder sidebar, please? This way we could compare the fonts used.
For me the system fonts look like this in Mt. Lion on a 17" MBP with the "Display" System Preferences set to "Best for Built-in Display":
I have the Finder's View option set to use 16pt fonts, but other than that is there no way to change the the fonts used without changing the Display resolution.
One more option you may want to check are the "Contrast" settings in the "Accessibilty" System Preferences. If you set the contrast to a very high value will the text appear to be very thin and hard to read.

Satellite A660-1FM - Max. screen resolution of external monitor

Hi All,
This may be (probably) an easy questions to answer but I have a Satellite A660-1FM and want to use it with my Samsung Syncmaster (forgotten model) external screen. I grabbed an HDMI->DVI-D adapter, and all is well, but here is my question:
The toshiba specs page for my laptop (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A660-1FM/1096013/toshibaShop/false/) shows an external resolution capability of:
Max Resolution : 2,048 x 1,536
Max Refresh Rate : 100 Hz
Non-interlaced resolution with max refresh rate : 1,920 x 1,200
But I get what I call standard HDMI resolution (not surprising I guess) when connected HDMI->DVI-D to my external monitor. I have previously run this monitor on my desktop at much high resolutions than 1080P, so the monitor is capable.
Just wondered what I'm missing here, or is it a case of the graphics card spec is higher than is possible to output from the laptop ?
Thanks for any help
Andy

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
As to native resolution of the external monitor - unsure how to find this - but it was running a with a lot higher res when it was connected to my old desktop (which has died and been replaced by this laptop)
R/E the adapter - My Samsung Syncmaster monitor has a DVI-D cable sticking out the back of it, so I needed to connect that to my laptop - either vga-> DVI-D or HDMI-DVI-D to make use of it.
The external monitor is currently running at 1680 x 1050 using the laptop HDMI output -> HDMI-DVI-D adapater -> external monitor.
Before my desktop died, using the same external monitor I was running at 1680 x (guessing a bit here) 2048 ish (really sure I had a greater y res, this 1050 lark is really squishy).. in any case, the Y resolution was much much much better than 1050.
But, according to the specification for this laptop, it can output 2048 x 1536 to an external device (How, the HDMI and VGA outptu cannot go that high right ?)
So, I'm trying to figure out how to get the resolution on the laptop spec onto my external monitior, which has more than handled this resolution before my old gaming desktop died.
Thanks again for the reply - I hope this makes my question clearer.
Cheers
Andy

Max screen resolution LCD Satellite pro M10

hi, sorry for my poor english, my question is:
The max internal LCD resolution for the satellite pro M10 notebook is 1024x768? excluse te superior resolution with scrolling?
I Have read in the tecnical specific of my notebook that the internal max resolution is 1280x1024 is not really?
thanks

Hi
As far as I know the display resolution depends on a display controller
I found this information in the user manual. The following models are available:
-14.1 XGA with 1024 x 768
-15.0 XGA with 1024 x 768
-15.0 SXGA+ with 1400 x 1050
-15.0 UXGA with 1600 x 1200
I think in this case your unit has a 14.1 or a 15.0 XGA display controller. Well, in my opinion its all right with your notebook. Enjoy it :)
Bye

Increase the screen resolution

Hi All
Is it possible to increase the screen resolution in BDC?
My Max screen resolution is 1280 X 800 and my BDC screen operates at this resolution
I want to increase it to 1400 X 1080
Is there a way i can pass these values?
Thanks in advance

Hi:
The 15.6" screen size model only has a display resolution of 1366x768 according to the product specs at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04031365&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
There are no product specs listed for the 17" screen model but since they end in the same 111tx, I assume that the 17" display has the same resolution as well.
Nothing you can do to change that. It is a limitation of the display panel hardware.

Problem with AE CS5 and laptop screen resolution during install..

Hello everyone,
I bought AE and I am very disappointed. When I went to install the application, I got the following errors and it stopped installing.
Exit Code: 7
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 54 error(s), 52 warning(s)
WARNING: Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}
WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
My max screen resolution is 1366x768 and the requirement is 1280x1024.
I don't plan on buying a screen that large. Is there a fix for this? perhaps editing the registry? I won't mind the small work area. I can manage. does AE CS4 have this resolution requirement? I have an opengl capable graphics card in my laptop so I don't think that is an issue here. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

ok I think I was able to bypass the " Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}" error during install. I hooked up an exteral monitor with the required resolution and I did not see that error message again. However, I am still getting the following error messages
<code>
WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
</code>
could it be that my graphics card does not support opengl? how can I make sure it supports opengl 2.0?
the graphics card that I have is an integraded intel media graphics accelerator. I am quite sure it would support opengl2.0. any thoughts? thanks
My brother has a screen resolution of 1240x780 and yet he was able to install AE CS5 without any errors at all. He has an ATI mobility Raedon Graphics card. whats up with that? also, he cannot hear any sound from avi videos in AE. He has tried everything even raising the decibals level in the track.

NetBook Screen Resolution for Media Manager

I have an LG x120 Netbook. As a net book, the screen is small, so the max screen resolution is something like 1024 x 566. This si below the minimum screen resolution required for even opening up the Media Manager.
Needless to say, THIS SUCKS, how do I get round this stupid requirement?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry, but basically, you don't...as you stated, the software has a minimum screen resolution requirement. Simple as that. If your system does not meet that, then the software won't work. You can read this KB for more information, including a workaround.
Good luck!

Mountain Lion mirroring - screen resolution problems

I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and am no longer able to set the screen resolutions on the iMac monitor and my Sony LCD 46" to mirror properly. Previously it worked very well by selecting the highest resolution for both the iMac and the TV - but now selecting those resolution settings no longer mirror properly. I've also tried other resolution combinations with limited success. When the iMac looks good - the mirrored TV monitor does not or vice versa.
Any suggestions or directions/instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks..

You should have checked it before upgrading to Mountain Lion. Apple says that AirPlay Mirroring requires some hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core processor, making all the 2010 and early Macs unsupported, but we don't know why AirParrot can stream on all the computers

How to increase screen resolution in Vista under boot camp?

I have installed Vista Home Premium under boot camp (OS X 10.5.7) but in preferences I can only get the maximum of 1280x960 while my screen resolution on SyncMaster P2250 in OS X is 1920x1080.
(I am using new Mac mini with NVIDIA GeForce 9400).
I have inserted Leopard disc in Vista and installed boot camp but still I can't make the resolution higher.

OK everything works fine! The problem was that after installation of Vista I was inserting old Leopard disc that I bought a year ago instead of inserting the Mac OS X installation disc that I got with new Mac mnini.
When I put the Mac OS X that was toghether with new Mac mini it installed missing driver and everything started working

Why SAP Standard Program Can full screen in different screen resolution ,but my own program can't?

How to make my program can display full screen in the different screen resolution ? can you tell me ,
Thanks everyone! eg. T-code: SOST

It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work.
