Need to either downgrade X or downgrade video drivers, patching help

Hi,
I'm using a matrox g450 which worked in the older version of X server..1.4. Is there a way to downgrade back to this version of X or the drivers.
I see this on an ubuntu bug list https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/292214
but I can't seem to figure out how to apply the patches there. help, please!

If you're looking for xorg-server 1.4 you'll need much older packages, since the switch occurred a while back. You might try just downgrading xorg-server, but I would be surprised if you'll have to do the same for most of the packages in xorg to get it to work.

    Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

    Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

  • Need to convert mini dvi to s video to run a school's Hatiachi ceiling mount projector. What is the proper adapter?

    Need to convert mini dvi to s video to run a school's Hatiachi ceiling mount projector. What is the proper adapter?

    Check the projector and see what kind of input is has, most have a VGA connector, so you would need a male to male VGA. You will also need the Mac mini dvi to male VGA (of course).
    Some of the older projetors have a component in only, which is the red,yellow,green, RCA connectors, which are avaialable. (Usually the are fairy short, 5 ft or so,  so you would need to get a VGA with yhe mini DVI to VGA, and a component (the one with the 3 RCA's) you will probaly have to get a Female to Female VGA adapter to connect te VGA to the component.
    And finaally if that weren't enough, the really old projectors have only a composite input. All I can say about that is "the hunt is on"
    Best of luck

  • I need more than simple 3D for a video .....

    Hi guys,
    What else can we use, if simple 3D / perspective is not enough ?
    I am in need of squeezing one end of a video so that it looks like you are viewing the video at an angle. Like a perspective view, if you know what I mean. Simple "tilt" doesn't do it, and I don't see any of the advanced perspective features anywhere, that photoshop has available.
    thanks for your help,
    Dave.

    Use After Effects for doing special effects like that.
    Cheers
    Eddie

  • I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post on youtube. How can I do this with my mac?

    I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post in youtube. How can I do this with my mac mini?

    When I go to import, the choices are :
    movies
    camera archive
    imovie for IOS
    imovie for HD
    It refuses to import a photo with any of these choices, which is located on the desktop or in a folder. It's a regular .jpg
    There are instructions to drag it. I put it there, and it bounces right back. The photo will not stay.
    I just need this one picture to go on so I can post a meditation on youtube.  It doesn't come from a camera.

  • Need more than 90 minutes of continual video

    ,Need more than 90 minutes of continual video? Hi all,
    I'm using the Vado HD [first gen] as a "hidden cam" type of thing for a play that I am filming. I have 2 normal cameras set out in the audience, but I want to mount the Vado HD above the stage for a bird's eye view of a sword fight scene that I can cut to when editing footage. The problem is that the fight scene happens near the end of the play and there are no intermissions.
    Since the filesystem used on the Vado HD is FAT and not NTFS or HFS+, I run into the 4GB limit and the camera simply puts itself to sleep about 45 minutes into recording even though there is more space on the dri've and the battery is fine.
    Can I reformat the Vado HD with HFS+ or NTFS? [i use a Mac but can run windows via VMware Fusion if need be]. Is there any way to squeeze 90 minutes of video in one file on this camera? If I reformat the camera, will it mess it up? [i don't use any of the apps that were installed on the camera - i moved them from the vid camera to my laptop actually, so i don't care about losing anything valuable on the vid camera].
    Thanks for any tips you might have!

    Could the reason be that you are capturing to an FAT32 format hard drive and it is only allowing you a limited maximum file size? Not sure but I think it is 4GB which would equate to 1/3 of a DV 13GB hour ...or about 20 minutes.
    If that is correct, and you should be able to tell because the capture window will display the file size limit as space available during capture, you could do one of two things:
    * reformat the drive as NTFS which removes the file size limitation (I have just done this on an external drive for exactly the same reason), but do look up online instructions for this and do it carefully.
    * if the material is not long continuous shots of over 20 minutes, switch on Scene Detect during capture; it's wise to cut material up into smaller chunks in any case as huge files become very unwieldy and handling them could slow your machine right down.

    You aren't running iOS if you are using iPhoto, or a Classic operating system.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and find out what you really are running, and then use this link to post in the right place:

  • Hi, have 5 pavilion DV9000 laptops to service. Do I need to add copper shims to the video & NB chip?

    Hi,
    I know there was a problem with thermal cooling of the vieo chips on some of the models. As a precaution to keep my customers happy I would like to modify these to last. All systems will run Windows 7 Home Premium.
    There is a "cult" folowing on these and I own 2 myself. All of these are getting replacement motherboards which includes the extra 256mb or 512mb Nvidia video chips.
    I make copper shims at my business here in Albany, Oregon for water and air cooled systems and would very much appreciate any advise you can offer. There are many opinions on the internet but none from HP directly. Thank you very much.

    Hi:
    The easist thing to do is to look in your device manager and write down all of the major hardware components listed by model (graphics, audio network controllers, etc).
    Then you will know what drivers you need.
    If your notebook has switchable graphics, you will need both video drivers.

  • Do i need to convert my Nikon D 800 video to Pro res files to work in FCP X?

    Do i need to convert my nikon D 800 video footage from H.264 to Pro res to work in Final cut pro X?

    You can import your footage directly to FCP X.
    FCP X can work with the native footage. Inside FCP X you can create "Optimized Media", which is in ProRes 422.
    You may not need to, depending on the edits you make (how many effects, etc). Since you can create optimized media at any time, I suggest you try it. If FCP X is slow editing your original media, optimize.

  • I got a message saying I need to either purchase or uninstall Paragon NTFS.  Is this necessary to have?

    I recently purchase a Macbook Pro and when I turned it on yesterday I got a message saying my trial version of Paragon NTFS has expired and I need to either purchase or uninstall.  Is this something that is necessary to have?

    Only if you want to write to NTFS formatted drives. I'm not sure why a new MacBook Pro would come with Paragon NTFS installed - did you buy it used?

    P.S. If you do need it, it's only $20...

  • My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?

    My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?
    I thought about resetting the nvram/pram, but before I do that, I wanted to check here. It might not be the issue. My startup looks fine and the sound is great up until the discrete moment when it's suddenly scrambled and nonsense.

    I did try a safe boot once before, which didn't stop the occurrences. I can try it again to make sure, and see if the problem stops happening.
    Never installed extra audio or plug-ins, though.
    It happened just once not long after I bought the mid-2013 MBA, which I think came with 10.8.4, but I assumed the noise was because I was moving the computer around on a surface that created static, since the noise stopped after I picked it up off the surface. However, that must have just been a coincidence, because it happens more frequently now without moving or touching anything.
    Trying the safe-mode boot and restart, and testing it out for day or so to see if it happens again.
