Monitor Refreshing

I am upgrading a G4 Quicksilver and on starting OS 9 the screen keeps giving me the desktop all shifted.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?
iMac 800 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Flat Panel, 768MB and Precious

Hi, dBombo -
Also, check the resolution/requency selection in the Monitors control panel. If the monitor you are using with it is not the one used with the machine previously, that setting may not be compatible with the monitor now connected.

Monitor refresh rates and Open Firmware

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the default monitor refresh rate of an iMac in Open Firmware and how?
Thanks.

Thanks but I think the iMac G5 does have a refresh rate or something analogous to one, in this case I believe it is 60 hertz. I want to know how to change it in firmware because I believe it will solve an issue my display suffers from. See here:

X800PRO TD256, monitor refresh rate override

I would like to know how to override the monitor refresh rate on x800 like in forceware drivers. Thanks
OK, just installed the Omega drives with multires and it works!

use the window options that allow you to adjust the refresh rate

Strange behavior in apps/monitor refreshing after theme installation

Good times of the day everyone!
I'm very new to archlinux and ArchLinux community (as you can see, this is my 1st post here).
I use dwm and was playing around with themes.
I found a GTK Theme - Moka which really suited my taste and installed it.
But for some reason, after the installation, applications started showing stuff strangely (or maybe monitor refreshing is going strange, i don't really have an idea of what's happening).
-Change in behavior of applications
---Midori:
------ Every time i switch between tags, strange big black box appears on the page. To get rid of it I have to scroll down-n-back the page;switch back-n-forth between workspaces; select all and deselect all in the page; click to adress bar.
------ When Opening links/sites|Refreshing the pages - big black box shows up and goes away/sometimes doesn't go away.
---Pidgin:
------ Every time I receive a new message, the text turns into a box of strange mix of colors
Here are the pictures:
Would appreciate it if anybody would help me to solve this problem.

Update:
I've noticed one more strange thing, in Midori if I have only one tab opened, no black box appears.
EDIT:
Never mind.. I guess it was the error in theme itself.

Set permanent monitor refresh rate without xorg.conf

Hi everyone,
Came back to archlinux, made a clean install with gnome 3. Found out that my GDM and Gnome monitor refresh rate is wrong. For GDM I solved it by adding xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 85 to the gdm init script. Maybe it's ugly, but at least working. I've got no xorg.conf and I don't want to create it only because of this problem. Using GUI screen settings in System preferences I managed only to set permanently correct resolution (1024x768) but the refresh rate cannot be changed there, so every time I boot now I have correct resolution and refresh rate for GDM, but after login I have 1024x768@60 only, so I have to manually issue 'xrandr -r 85' every time I login. Can I fix it without creating xorg.conf file under /etc/X11? What I already tried was creating the config file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and set proper resolution and refresh rate there, but it didn't help. If someone has advice or idea, i will be very grateful. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you need to specify the values from the manufacturer's website.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DELL"
ModelName "U2311H"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
I probably don't need to specify "Driver" with open-source drivers, but it's easier to just replace it with "nvidia", since I sometimes switch to the proprietary ones.

External Monitor refresh rate conflict

I've got the PB 12" and for a longtime have been using a 17" Soyo monitor with the computer closed and Bluetooth devices. It's a great setup. Now one time disconnected it to take the powerbook, and now I can't run it with just the 17" monitor. I don't want two screens, and I don't want a 12" screen. However, every time I now try to close and wake up the computer, it says the there is a problem with the resolution and the refresh rate, it says it's "Out of Range". Now I figure it's because the computer is trying to send signals to my external monitor just like it was my Powerbook, but my screen can't show them because it has different specs than the powerbook monitor. Please help, if you need more information, please ask.

you have a CRT projector? If it is a 16:9 projector it doesn't really matter if the refresh rate is at 75 or 85 hz.
I know the x200 can do at least 75 hz at 720p, not sure if it can do any higher.

How to make Mavericks Activity monitor refresh every second

I noticed that the Mavericks version of Activity Monitor now refreshes only every 5 seconds. It used to be every second. I am guessing they intend to make Activity Monitor more energy efficient this way, but is it possible to make it refresh every second like it used to ?
Thank you !

All right,I have set up my Philips LCD vertical display content with normal built in screen... need playing with xrandr & xorg.conf more then....
one question, intel driver in linux support vertical screen?

Changing default monitor refresh rate

Hello-
I have just installed x86 Solaris8 on my system at home. I have a TNT2 Ultra card and I am using the default Nvidia TNT2 drivers included with the install on a Hitachi Superscan Monitor. I am capable of displaying the Solaris CDE at 1600x1200 but I have display issuesthat force me to reset my vertical and horizontal positioning every time I turn on the monitor or ever time the screen resolution changes.
This problem has existed ever since I got my videocard back whenI still had Win98 on the machine. The only way to correct it was to set the default refresh rate for all resolutions to 60Hz.
Is it possible to do this in Solaris8 and how?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Daniel J. Noah

stop the dtlogin, login on the text console, and run kdmconfig.
In kdmconfig, choose the video card menu entry, don't make changes
to the video card but use on of the multifrequency monitor entries.
For example, the multifrequency monitor entry upto 110kHz should give
~85 Hz refresh rate at 1600x1200, use one of lower freq. entries to
tune down the refresh rate...

27" iMac Monitor "refresh rate"

Hello!
I'm considering buying a 27" iMac but there's 1 more thing that I need to know before doing so.
Before you go ahead and tell me that refresh rates on a CRT and LCD monitor are not the same: I'm aware of that. LCD screens still have a similar thing, though, refreshing the entire image. Let's call it fps as I've no clue to what it's actually called.
Since it'll be used, mostly, for FPS games I want a screen who's able to pull off at least 100fps (like 100Hz in the old days) at various lower resolutions. Do you know if the iMac's screen able to do this, and if you do, do you know the various rates for different resolutions?

Is it less than two weeks old? Check if your store has a replacement policy?
Is it less than a year old? Check with the local authorized service centers if you feel you have done nothing that could have possibly damaged the machine, as this would be a hardware issue.
Is it under AppleCare? Same thing.
If it isn't expect to pay more than just adding an external display. If you are in the U.S. http://www.dttservice.com/ is a good company to check out for under non-AppleCare replacement costs. Mid-2011 should still be under AppleCare unless you bought it really early on. May 3rd was when it came out in the stores, so you probably are still under the 1 year coverage, but better hurry, unless you registered it with Apple early. At minimum buy AppleCare so you are covered for an additional 2 years if you haven't already, since it is showing signs of possible wear not normal to be seen.

Increase you Graphics Performance by increasing Monitor Refresh!!...

I found this thread very informative and thought of sharing it with my fellow nForcers
Read Here
Markoul

or just enable tripple buffer and be done with it...
moreover, most drivers come with a Vsync OFF nowaday, so...
And it is always a good idea to use your monitor at it's max refresh setting, as it will be more confortable anyway (as long as your VGA can follow).

WM RF monitor Refresh

Hi all,
the LRF1 transaction displays an active WM RF monitor. but it doesn't refresh automatically. The refresh button needs to be selected. Is there a way to enable the auto refresh functionality. appreciate any suggestions.
thanks.

In LRF1 system automatically determines the priority based on the age of the TO. You canot edit it. But you can drag and drop the TO at different places in the queue with the help of the mouse. Then the priority of the TO gets changed to a lower or higher value as per its position in the queue. One of the places where you can define priority in WM is on trasfer requirement priority at movement level under define movement types. I haven't seen any other place where you can assign or change priority.

Get monitor refresh rate

Hello.
So, is there a way to get this parameter from flash somehow? The Capabilities class can't do it.
I'm using the latest Flex SDK and the new Molehill API for FP11, if that matters.
Thank you.

Hello,
There is a screen object in AS3 but only in Air runtime:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/Screen.html
but it *does not* provide access to refresh rate is it is nearly 60FPS on modern LCD I think, this is noted in Adobe's docs:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/display/Stage.html#frameRa te
That doc provides some hints from Adobe on optimizing performance/memory in Flash applications:

Monitor refresh error

I am Running photoshop CS3 on a mac pro 2.8GHz 8-core with and ATI Radeon 2600XT graphics card. On any size file, from a small jpeg to an enormous tif, any time I pan around the image, the monitor will repeat a section of the image over and over to fill the screen. That is to say, panning vertically will fill the screen with copies of a random horizontal section of the image (20pixels wide or so). The effect goes away as soon as I perform another action that affects the entire image (zoom, action undo, create new layer, etc.). I have updated photoshop and osx with all available software and firmware updates.
An example of what this looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26107441@N02/2450960322/
My monitor is a LaCie 320 running at 1600x1200@60Hz, well within the supposed range of both the monitor and graphics card.
The only way that the error does not occur while I am working is if I hit tab to hide my palettes in photoshop. If the palettes are hidden, there are no errors. Adobe claims it is not their problem as does LaCie. AMD has not yet responded.

Hey Roo
You might need it to look like this?
You will need to actually poll the activeX node as often as you can to catch the change in status.
(I would actually use the "getScanLine" and some 'Jiggery Pockery' to work out when the new frame is updated)

Windows 8.1 desktop refresh required after closing mstsc

In Windows 8.1 Pro with Update (64-bit), in desktop mode, after closing the mstsc app (click X in title bar) during an mstsc session to a Window 7 Ent SP1 workstation, the contents of the mstsc window remain displayed and a desktop refresh (right-click->refresh
on the desktop) is required to refresh the desktop to clear the stale content from the display. This does not happen when using mstsc to connect to a legacy Win XP Pro workstation.
Video adapter is an integrated Intel P4600/P4700 with latest drivers provided my Microsoft Update (v10.18.10.3621) in multi-monitor (3 monitors) mode. The mstsc is only active on one monitor.
Anyone else seen this issue?

Monitor refresh rate (all 3 of them is set to 60hz). Only options on the primary display are 59 or 60Hz.
Setting the refresh rate to 59Hz produces same results. Setting back to 60Hz produces same results.
Sometimes part of the desktop on the monitor with the mstsc window needs to be refreshed, sometimes all of it under the mstsc windows needs to be refreshed, and sometimes, but rarely, the desktop never needs to be refreshed after closing mstsc to this specific
target.
The mstsc session is not a full screen session and is opened as per:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "<path to rdp file>.rdp" /w:2560 /h:1530
on a 30" display set for 2560x1600, 32bpp, 60Hz
To clarify, the specific issue manifests when I disconnect the session -- ie. clicking the X in the title bar, then clicking OK in the dialog "Your remote session will be disconnected". The "Your remote session will be disconnected" dialog
disappears (sometimes), and the mstsc windows title bar disappears but some or all of everything else that was inside the mstsc windows (from the remote system) remains displayed (even the mstsc bottom window border) until the desktop is refreshed.
I do note that if I set the mstsc session to full screen and then close/disconnect the session while it is in full screen, that the refresh required after disconnect issue does not manifest.
I am not sure if this is a functional issue in the mstsc client in Windows 8.1 (file version 6.3.9600.16384) or is more generally display/explorer specific. If the issue is broader, I am only noticing it with mstsc.
I've also updated to the latest Intel HD Graphics driver (rel: 2014-08-29) and no difference.
