Monitor not showing the whole screen when I log out of Xorg/Openbox

Please help, what happens is..
I log into arch, it boots fine (it displays the loading of daemons in like arabic or something but that's another matter!), I can see everything, I 'startx' into Openbox and that's all fine but when I log out of X it cuts off the bottom of my screen.
I've got a widescreen 1680x1080 monitor and an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics card and I've tried using nvidia and nouveau drivers.
It only started AFTER i'd installed Xorg, I'd just log into x then kill it and i'd have half my screen missing.
I've tried setting nvidia-settings and editing the conf files in Xorg but it must be an issue outside of X surely, as It's always fine in openbox?
any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: I did try searching but to no avail - if there's a topic on this i'm very sorry =/

CRM 2007 Business Role IC_AGENT not showing the whole screen

Hi,
I set up CRM 2007 successful for a couple of standard roles like TPM_PRO, SALESPRO and SERVICEPRO. The system is working fine. Assigning the business role IC_AGENT is showing me an uncomplete screen. The area for navigation bar, the account info, the alerts and the communication information is blank. Has somebody an idea what is wrong?
Thanks and best wishes,
Andreas

Hi Prasoon,
unfortunatly I cannot help you. It is still not working. Luckly was that CRM 2007 we were just preparing for demonstration. So at the end we showed something different.
But next step what I would do is open an OSS message due to the fact that it is a standard role and it has to work.
Best regards,
Andreas

Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

Hello Korawees,
I was researching the issue you are describing and had a recommendation. The device is very simple, so the software troubleshooting for it is pretty limitted so I think you shoud restore the iPod shuffle and re sync the content. That way, if it is a software issue, this will fix it. Here is the article named Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1481.
Before Starting
It is important to understand the difference between "update" and "restore." Update does not affect your settings or songs, it simply installs updated software that controls iPod shuffle. Restore erases the disk and restores iPod shuffle to its original factory condition with updated software. If you only need to update iPod shuffle, this should be done on the computer where music is normally synced. Updating on another computer will result in all songs being removed from iPod shuffle.
Warning: Because Restore erases all songs and files on iPod shuffle, make sure to back up any files you've saved on iPod shuffle. Your songs, podcasts, and audiobooks can be synced back to your iPod shuffle if the items are part of your iTunes library.
How to restore iPod shuffle
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection as new versions of iTunes and iPod Software may need to be downloaded to your computer.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if you do not already have it installed.
Open iTunes, and then connect iPod shuffle to your computer.
After a few moments, iPod shuffle will appear in the Devices section on the left side of the Tunes window.
Select iPod shuffle under Devices and you will see information about it appear in the main iTunes window under the Summary tab/button for iPod shuffle (3rd and 4th generation) or the Settings tab/button for iPod shuffle (1st or 2nd generation).
The Version section tells you whether iPod shuffle is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
Click the Restore button. You will be presented with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download the latest iPod Software. The 4-possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software currently on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores after downloading the latest iPod Software on your computer.
If you are using a Mac, a message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress indicator will appear on the computer screen indicating that the restore process has started. Do not disconnect iPod shuffle during the restore process.
After the restore process is complete, the iPod shuffle's status light will flash orange continuously. The iPod Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences as you did when you connected your iPod shuffle for the first time.
When you come to step 7, I recommend Restore Option 4.
Take care,
Sterling

My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

my ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

Ever since I updated InDesign CC (2014) approximately 22 days ago... I CANNOT get the welcome screen to not come on at the launch on InDesign. I set the preferences in InDesign to NOT show the welcome screen upon launch, but it will NOT hold the preferences i choose. Anyone else have any other ideas? I am about to lose my mind... I hate you ADOBE!!!

that s just the problem, that is why my level of frustration is boiling over ... I have told InDesign over and over again "Do Not Show Again" but it will just not hold the settings. It might hold it for a day or so, but then suddenly there it is again on another launch. Very very annoying.

Connect the charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes before you try to turn it on. Then let it charge untill full. The iPhone (or iPad) need at least a little charge before you can turn it on.

My Aspire 7750G does not show the login screen after upgrade to Windows 10

I have upgraded to Windows 10 on my 7750G and the update went thru smooth.But when I restart Windows it shows the windows screen with the moving dotted circle,the harddisk led stays on for a while, then starts flickering, and a blank screen is shown!After waiting - about 2 to 3 minutes - it goes directly to the lock screen, no login screen is shown.

joeboemoe,
The lock screen is where you login now, if I am not mistaken. The notebooks we have here boot to a lock screen we have to click to log in, even my PC at home does. If you want to take a look at this article we created, it might be what you are looking for.
I created a password for one of the logins on one of our notebooks and I had the option to choose Never under "If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?"

My homepage does not show the latest page when I open Firefox

I have set MSN as my homepage but when I open Firefox it does not show the latest MSN page.

'''''Has the site worked normally in Firefox before?'''''
When you have a new problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a window listing the site's cookies, which you can remove individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging back in. Does that help?

Help! My phone is not taking the whole screen! (edge around the screen)

I ve only been using my phone for less than a week. Today my phone was frozen so I hold down the home and the power button to do a reset. However, the apple logo appears and it took forever to get in the home menu so I hold down the buttons to reset the phone once again. The phone did get in the home screen after the second reboot but after that the size of the screen got smaller (Not taking the full screen) I turned off my phone and while I was under the sun i noticed that there is an edge around the screen! It is so noticable even I turned off the phone. So I used a full restore on my phone and now the edge is still there! Can anyone please tell me if they have the same problem before and know how to fix it(Like resizing the screen)? Thanks!!

Is it a thick border? or just a couple rows? Mine has that, and a lot of electronics have the same thing... they cut the size they need and only use the pixels they want/need to use.
For example I had a Zune and a new Nano that had the same thing... My Blackberry, and work cell phone... same thing.
If its a thick border, then yes call apple and get it replaced/repaired.

How do I set up my apple laptop to automatically show the active screen when attaching a HDMI cable to my TV

When using HDMI cable to TV how do I set up to automatically display the active laptop screen so that I don't have to drag to TV

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

When posting to a forum the new version of Firefox does not show the post. When I start up IE and go to the forum there is the post. However Firefox 4 will not show the post. How can I fix this issue?

Recently I upgraded to Firefox 4. I frequent various forums where I post advise on various subjects. I am finding that version 4 is showing the threads in the forums, allowing me to log in and to post. However the posts as sent in are not coming up at all, even if I get out and return, the page is not "refreshed."

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

Apple TV3 Not Showing The Main Screen Icons except Computer

/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/186/18672415-1.jpg
The internet is working just fine.. The system is up to date,
I tried resetting, restarting the system.. nothing worked..
I bought 2 Apple TV 3's and they both have the same issue..
Also, when I bought it in the U.S, the sales person in NY-5th Avenue store showed me the languages available, and one of them was the Arabic language..
Now that I bought it, this language doesn't exist.. Is there a way to add more languages?
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.
