[MOVED] H55 chipset and KMS with HDMI/VGA

I recently purchased a Shuttle SH55J2. As there seems to be KMS issues with the Auburndale chipset and the VGA output (output is wavey with KMS on, no X with KMS off), I am attempting to get the HDMI output working with my monitor. I am using a Dell E248WFP which has VGA and DVI input. I am using an HDMI cable with an HDMI-DVI converter.
The problem is the monitor comes up with screen with green background and white text starting from bios all the way through boot to login. I have attempted changing the colorspace of the monitor from RGB to YPbPr, but it simply changes the color of the background. Any clues on how to fix this?
New: I've bought a new hdmi capable monitor. However, with KMS enabled using HDMI->HDMI, the monitor receives no signal, while the HDMI->DVI still has the color problems. With KMS off, HDMI->HDMI works and HDMI->DVI has no signal. So now it appears the KMS is the real issue.
Note: This discussion has been moved to the intel-gfx mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 08315.html

It's likely that the laptop's attempting to output audio through the HDMI as well. Have you tried this? Right-click on the speaker icon in the notification area near the clock (in Desktop mode) and select "Playback devices." What's listed there, and what has the green check mark? Try selecting your speakers and clicking "Set Default."

HDCP Error with HDMI-VGA connections

We have been using Apple TV 3 Software Version 7.0.2(6915) for connecting the Apple TV to classroom projectors that have a VGA port in. This was working perfectly till last week, and it seems a new software update was pushed to the Apple TV device now we get "This Content Requires HDCP for playback". Tried multiple different options of soft and hard reboots, resets and restarts nothing helps. Connecting the same Apple TV using HDMI-HDMI cable works fine. We are using Kanex HDMI-VGA adapter. If someone has the same issue please write back since there have 26 Apple TVs in the school and is being actively used by instructors to project their work to the class.

As far as I know, 7.0.2(6915) is the latest software version & nothing new has been pushed out by Apple since its release months ago.
You problem is most likely exactly what the error message indicates: the content (for example commercial movies from a streaming service or an iTunes library) you are trying play on the ATV is protected by the HDCP encryption standard, so unless the Kanex adaptor supports HDCP internally, the ATV will not output the protected content to it.
I looked on the Kanex website to see if they claim the ATV Pro adaptor supports HDCP but nothing there says if it does or doesn't. Also, one of the U.S. Apple Store questions about the device has conflicting answers for that, so I suggest you contact Kanex directly for a more definitive answer & perhaps some help with the issue.
Failing that, you could try your setup with some content you know is not protected by HDCP (like a home movie in an iTunes library). If that works, then the problem almost certainly is that the Kanex doesn't support HDCP & you will not be able to use it with any content so protected.

[SOLVED] Artifacts with EXAPixmap ON and KMS with ATI OSS drivers

I had some problems for many months on my Arch Linux installation and I couldnt figure out what was causing it, so, because I found the sollution, I wanted to post it here and share it with you.
I, like others, was experiencing huge artifacts with KMS and EXAPixmaps on, on various cases, visuals and textures. After fiddling with all radeon options in xorg.conf and KMS on/off I found out thats its best for me to have KMS on (I couldnt play wine games otherwise) and EXAPixmaps off. But then again, when EXAPixmaps was off, I had poor 2D performance with KMS on, Xrender acceleration wasnt working and was falling back to software engine. Solution came from something that was brought to my attention in this topic. I ve set ARGB visuals off, raster engine for rendering and tried EXAPixmaps on.
It worked! Everything are as they supposed to be. Xrender engine and composite manager are finally working, no more artifacts. Framebuffer memory on my radeon card was somehow cleared. I then later found out an awkward solution on how to clear it by demand... Start X with vesa driver... then fix again xorg.conf back to radeon driver and reboot.
Now I have both 2D and 3D acceleration, I am logged in with KDE and have good performance. My glxgears output is 1000 to 1150 fps (vsync off) and I am using Xrender for the KDE desktop effects.
EDIT: I must clarify that I have an ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility M9+ (R200 serries)

I 've made some more edits and this is my current xorg.conf
http://pastebin.com/x6ubG80K
I have ColorTiling set on for performance, be careful as it may be resource hungry in 3D apps but it increases dramatically fps.
You can try setting off EXAPixmaps as well and see how it goes, but then you ll have poor 2D performance and yet videos will play just fine either way.

I bought a new MBA and are having problems with HDMI and VGA port

Hi,
I just bought a new mac book air, and at the apple stre they recommended me a mosh mini to vga cabel. I need to use my computer for projector either hdmi or regular vga adapte. The new mba only has thunderbolt, usb, memory/card slot, microphone and headphone ports.
Does anyboody has and idea how i will or how do i connect the hdmi or vga adapaters to the computer. I have been searching on the cables the apple store has available but the end that goes into the computer is not compatible with the ones I mentioned above.
Please any help would be of great help, because I dont know what to do. I think this is a problem with the new MBA.
thank you,

Thank you doubr. So what I need is to buy the thunderbolt cable and the minidisplayport to vga adapter or the griifin mini display port to hdmi tht toothpickproductions recommends, is that correct?
The one I have is a mini dvi to vga adapter and the end that goes into the computer is the same one that the minisdisplayport to vga adapter or the griffin one have, and is too big to go into the new mba. I dont know if I am confusing you more with what I am saying.
check the link below and you will see the ports the mba has
http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html
if you see the ports that mba has, the two minidosplayport that are recommending do not fit..
So, do you know that if I buy the thunderboldt cable will either of the two minidisplay ports fit or I need to buy another adapter for the minidisplay ports??
thank you because I am kind of confused, I did not have this problem with the macbookpro I had before...

Xorg.conf for laptops with 2 vga controllers and an hdmi port

Hi
I installed arch on my laptop and was quite happy that it worked so easily. The only problem at the moment is that the display connected to the hdmi port isn't detected. For example running from the gnome control centre the display applet then 'detect' only detects the laptop display, even though there is a 2nd monitor connected to the laptop via the HDMI port. I suspect that the problem is xrandr is not detecting the monitor connected to the HDMI port. How can I fix this?

Curious how well you got this working (and working with the nvidia driver). I have the same issue, and got it working using the intel and nouveau drivers. However, I am unable to drag windows to the second screen, use desktop effects, or modify the layout with xrandr. I tried installing the nvidia driver alongside the intel one, however there is a conflict between nvidia-utils and libgl that won't allow that.

No Native Res with DVI/HDMI but OK with DVI/VGA cable on Loewe 32" LCD

Hi there, I am a little confused about connecting my mini to my Loewe Individual LCD TV and coudl do with some help.
I purchased a DVI to HDMI cable at enormous cost because my experience of DVI versus VGA is like night and day and I wanted to have the best possible connection to my HD TV.
The problem is that when I connect the mini with the DVI/HDMI cable the native resolution of my TV is not available. (1366x768 or thereabouts) The only resolutions to choose from are 1920 x 1080? and 1024 X 768. Using overscan on the 1024 fills the screen correctly but looks all stretched.
Instead I connected with a VGA cable and the correct resolution is automatically detected immediately and there is no problem at all.
I am a little bit confused as to why it works fine with VGA but not with DVI/HDMI. The VGA connection looks OK but why compromise when you shoudln't have to?

First of all, I am far from an expert but as I said, from my experience and after reading a LOT, HDMI cannot support 1366x768, that is why the TV goes without picture if you try. Why? I don't know.
Now, DVI is almost like VGA, both are analog, and can support 1366x768 or 1920x1200. But since you go from DVI output from the Mac Mini to the HDMI cable, screen goes black, blue, etc, res no supported.
That is why some people don't have problems with the powerbook and their HDTV's, and then they try with the DVI-HDMI adaptor (normally with the mac mini) and it's no good.
The thing is, you can get 720p, 1280x720 but with overscan, so with DisplayconfigX you go from:
1280x720 (720p)
128 Front Porch 10
80 Sync 5
200 Back Porch 15
1688 Total 750
to
1240x680
128 Front Porch 19
80 Sync 5
240 Back Porch 38
1688 Total 750
for example, with this setup you get the image cut to a minimum.
As you can see the totals are in both cases 1688 750. As soon as you don't respect this totals, like in this example:
1366x768
28 Front Porch 5
80 Sync 5
40 Back Porch 15
1514 Total 793
your TV won't be able to dispay the image. But with VGA the totals don't matter!!!!, that is why it works with one cable and not with the other.
Apple should update the Intel graphic card drivers, maybe that would help.

Hello-
I am trying to project a film from an ipad mini with a vga cable to a projector. When tested, the film played, but the ipad did not mirror what was being projected, it was a black screen. I am trying to be able to mirror the devices AND figure out how isolate the window so I can use different menus with the film still playing.
Any one know an app or softward that i can use?
Thank you!

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Oracle Linux HCL. Support of Intel Core i3 and H55 chipset

Dear Colleagues.
I'm going to purchase the new desktop for home use and the question which bothers me is the compatiblity of new hardware system with Oracle Linux 5.6.
The system platform supposed to be purchased consists of "Intel Core i3-560" CPU, "ASUS P7H55D-M EVO" motherboard, 4Gb DDR3 1333 MHz and other components. No descrete graphical card is supposed to be purchased since CPU integrated graphical card will be used.
The questions are:
Did somebody installed Intel Core + H55 chipset motherboards?
Was that successfull?
Do you have some hints, good notices regarding Linux installation on such system?
The OS version planned to be installed is ORacle Linux 5.6.
Thank you for your time and assistance!
Best Regards,
Ilya.

Tommy and Dude,
The main reasons of installing Oracle Linux are:
1) Learning administering Oracle Database installed on Linux systems environment.
2) Oracle Linux is supported by Oracle Database 10g.
3) It is free.
There were not much alternatives to choose from. Below you can see the list of supported OSes by Oracle Database 10g:
Asianux 1,2,3. <-- Never heard of this OS before.
Oracle Linux 4,5 <-- My choice. It is free and it uses stable Red Hat kernel (2.6.18 for Oracle Linux 5, 2.6.32 for Oracle Unbreakable Linux.; by the way, i read in some internet article that Linux kernel 2.6.32 contains some code for supporting Intel Core processors (at least theirs old versions which use socket LGA1156), but probably it is not completely right information).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 <-- they are not free of charge.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP2 or later, 10, 11 <-- Seems like they are not free of charge either. 60 days trial is not good option for me.
Oracle VM <-- Probably, it is also a good choice. I'll study this option.Unfortunately, both Ubuntu and Fedora are not in the list and Windows is no good choice for me since Oracle Database is different in the administration under UNIX and Windows environment.
I've got questions regarding the use of VirtualBox and other VM software:
- Would i have the ability to install, run and administer Oracle Database 10g within VirtualBox?
- Is there much differences in administering Oracle Database under real standalone OS and under VM software (VirtlBox, for instance)?
Thank you very much for participation and usefull suggestions!
Best Regards,
Ilya.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)? I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv. I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV. The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly?

For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer. Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top.
