New way of specifying console framebuffer resolution?

I just upgraded to the new kernel26archck kernel and udev today, and everything seems okay, except I think the way of specifying the console framebuffer resolution. The old way was to add vga=xxx where xxx was the representation of the resolution wanted. I used vga-791 to give me a 1024x768 console framebuffer. Now I get an error that asks me to pick a resolution, and no matter what I pick, I get a 640x480 res.
Is there any information about this available somewhere? My googling has turned up nothing useful.

Two wiki posts:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gensplash
and I copied my forum post to the wiki too:

What does it mean if the system "cannot find driver for console framebuffer"?

I've just installed Solaris 7 on a SparcStation 20 with 256 MB RAM, 1 + 2 GB hard drives, 1xSuperSparcII. When I boot up it says "NOTICE:Cannot find driver for console framebuffer". I can't run the CDE, and I assume this is because there is no graphics driver. The graphics card (it's an add-on but by Sun) presumably needs a driver and I would have thought that this would have been included with the Solaris 7 CD. The whole thing worked fine when it was running Solaris 2.5.1 and now I've installed a new OS (initial as opposed to upgrade) it just don't work. Any ideas?

The "output-device" parameter may not be set properly in Open Boot Prom(OBP) and hence during installation, the driver may not be installed. To fix this, try the following steps.
1. Note down the current value for output-device. This value is to be restored later.
printenv output-device
2. Set the "output-device" parameter to "screen" in OBP
setenv output-device screen
3. Perform a reconfiguration boot using the command "boot -r"
4. The error will not appear. Verify that /dev/fb refers to a device link.
5. Go to ok prompt again and restore the output-device to its original value (as noted in step 1). The reason for doing this is that some resolution parameters would have been set earlier for your output-device.
6. Reboot the system again. The error may appear again but since the device link is already created, the CDE will work.
Please contact us if there are any issues.

Is there a new way to Display Duplicates in iTunes 11?

Used to be under file Display Duplicates but now it is gone. Anyone found the new way? Is there one? Did they really take away that functionality??

I not this is no consolation, and I am upset that this functionaliy is missing. But I think the best thing we can do is let them know that we want it back. I've already sent off a feedback form to Apple. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears, but maybe if enough people do it asking for "Display Duplicates" back mayb we'll see it in an update. You can fill out a feedback form for iTunes here http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the iPad?

Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the New iPad? I just received the new iPad and would like to reduce the size of the resolution of the pictures I am transferring.
I have storage capacity issue and I am only able to transfer about half the number of pictures I had on original Ipad with the same storage capacity. I upgraded to the New Ipad and I am transferring all the pictures I had in the original Ipad. I do not know why they are not all transfering since the New Ipad got full before all the pictutres where transfered. I used Itunes to transfer the pictures I have in Iphoto . I assume this is because the New Ipad has a higher resolution screen and is allowing the pictures to be transfered automatically to the New Ipad at a higher resolution than the original Ipad?
Any thoughts?

I have a Canon 7D and the picture are large.
Step my step instructions, would be great if it is at all possible.
What you as is difficult without knowing your exact circumstances, i.e. what format pictures are you sending, do you shoot in .jpg or shoot in RAW and convert to .jpg, etc. However, I don't see a way to quickly reduce the size of your image files without reprocessing your files in some manner.
You could export all of the images to be loaded onto your iPad in JPEG format using Lightroom or Aperture and greatly lower the quality setting in the .jpg export. If you do this make sure you export to a new folder. Lowering the quality can have a huge impact on the size of the image files. If this worked it would give you the advantage of still having the largest amount of pixels allowable on the iPad 3. I found that on my iPad 2 I could 'get away' with setting the quality to around 50 without seeing any obvious changes. A higher quality setting may or may not be required on the iPad 3, time will tell and as my iPad 3 is going back I've not taken the time to put more than a few sample (800 or so) images on it. They were exported at a quality setting of 60 and look as well as can be expected considering my defective iPad 3 display.
If you images are already exported at a lower quality setting and are still too large the next step would be to reduce the dimensions of the image. Lightroom has this capability. I don't know about Aperture, but I assume it does.
My normal workflow with my 7D:
Take picture in RAW.
Transfer to Lightroom 4 converting the Canon RAW files to Adobe's DNG format.
Process images in Lightroom. If any need further processing then export to Photoshop and/or Nik plug-ins.
Export processed images that I wish to have on my iPad to my Pictures folder in .jpg format using a quality setting of 60. I do not reduce the dimension of the image as I want the maximum sized images my iPad will allow. As I only transfer a couple of thousand size is not an issue.
Use iTunes to Sync photos to iPad.
As was mentioned by a previous poster you could use Photoshop to bulk process the photos but that requires both Photoshop and a knowledge of creating a bulk action. Not hard, but very confusing if you haven't used both Photoshop and the bulk process before.
There may be other methods that could work for you but I am not aware of them. With the breadth of experience of the members of this forum perhaps someone else could chime in with suggestions.

IPhoto 11: A new way to use the old E-Mail behaviour.

iPhoto 11 works with email in a new way. Rather than using an Application to send the email as before, what they have done is handle the email within iPhoto. So, you input your Email Account details - the name of your service, the account name, password, etc, and iPhoto uses that information to send the email via your account.
There's an element of swings and roundabouts in this.
Users of Apps like Thunderbird or Postbox could not email from within iPhoto in the past as those apps are not scriptable. Neither could it be used by people who use Web Mail and access their mail via a web browser. By going this way these people users have the same service as Mail/Entourage/Eudora users have.
So much for the swings: on the roundabouts, however, users of Mail (and I suspect Entourage and Eudora) have a change. Share -> Email does not work as before and you can no longer select pics within iPhoto, resize them and pass them over to their preferred application. Neither can you send photos without a Template.
However, by creating a Service sing Automator, it's perfectly possible to recreate the previous usage, though accessed a little differently. Here's one way:
1. Launch Automator
2. From the Dropdown sheet select to make a Service
3. On the Right hand side, over the large pane (under the record button) select 'Service Receives +no input+'
Uploaded with Skitch!
3. From the Library Column (extreme left) click on Photos.
4. From the Middle Column drag 'Get Selected iPhoto Items to the large pane.
5. In the drop down on 'Get Selected Photo Items, select 'Photos'
Uploaded with Skitch!
6. Back to the Library column, extreme left and this time click on Mail
7. Drag 'New Mail Message' to the right hand pane, under the existing 'Get iPhoto Items'
8. Drag 'Add Attachments to Front Message' under that.
9. Save it, Name it.
Now, in iPhoto select the photos you want to email
then
iPhoto Menu -> Services -> And select the Service you created.
The Mail app comes forward with your Message, with files attached.
You can resize the Photos using the option at lower right of the Mail window:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Using the Keyboard Shortcuts in System Preferences you can choose a shortcut to do the whole thing from the keyboard.
Regards
TD

You can also drag from iPhoto '11 to Entourage 2008 and Outlook 2011.
Both of these will create a new email adding the photos as full size attachments
Good tip and I just tried it. Too bad Entourage does not have the size box in the
lower right like Apple's Mail. I really don't like sending full size pictures in email
messages so I will use Terence Devlin's Automator script or drag and drop to the
the Mail Dock Icon.
Two very good workarounds for the slow iPhoto mailer. I got spoiled using the
IPhoto 09 email interface with Entourage that let me select the size and the x-number
of Great IPhotos
Thanks again for another tip on how to mail photos using iPhoto 11.

Is there a way to specify where an app starts on your screen

Is there a way to specify where the JFrame will appear on your screen at runtime by default? For me it always starts on the upper left hand corner, and I want it more in the middle.

Sorry, that should actually read:
    frame.setSize(800, 600);
    // center the frame
    Dimension size = frame.getSize();
    Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    frame.setLocation((screen.width - size.width) / 2, (screen.height - size.height) / 2);
    frame.setVisible(true);cheers,

Is there a way to stop being bombarded with IAds when playing games on the iPad? This is a very annoying new way to advertise Apps.

Is there a way to stop being bombarded with IAds when using games on my IPad? Is this a new way to advertise Apps?

If these are the free versions of the games, buy the full version and the iAds should go away. The developer can offer the app for free by selling advertising. If the developer is going to give the app away, he has to be paid for his work somehow.
There may be some paid apps that might include iAds as well. In those instances, the developer includes the ads in order to subsidize the cost of the app to the end user in order to reduce the cost of the app. You should always read the app description when you download any app to make sure that you know what you are getting into - with regard to ads and in-app purchases.
Games are the worst offenders - IMO. Many "free" games become totally useless after you reach a certain level or if you reach your limit in lives or potions or things like that. If you want to continue in the game, you than have to make in-app purchases for levels, lives, potions, beads, whatever. You can rack ip quite a bill playing those "free" games if you are not aware of what you are getting into.

Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

Hi all,
I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.

When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different

When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different error handler when you try to access a NON .CFM file? Right now I get the standard:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: filename.ext
Is there any setting to override this and direct the message to your own .cfm template? The missing template handler in the CF Admin work only for .cfm files.
Thx

The in-built web server for ColdFusion 8 is JRun. I am on ColdFusion 10, however, and so cannot offer hands-on advice. (CF10 replaced JRun with Tomcat.)
My guess is that you have to modify the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml. Don't forget to create a back-up first!
You may then proceed as follows.
1) In the ColdFusion root (CF_ROOT), create the file myCustomFileNotFound.cfm. Give it some content, like
My custom File Not Found page. Current time: <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>
2) Open the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml in a text editor. Add the following error-handling specification just before the end tag </web-app>:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/myCustomFileNotFound.cfm</location>
</error-page>
Save the file web.xml.
3) Restart ColdFusion. Test by browsing to a URL requesting filename.ext

Is there a way to specify a value not allowed in text field?

Is there a way to specify text-to-speech to dictate a specific line or..

Hi guys,
Is there a way to specify text-to-speech to dictate a specific line or page in a pdf file?
In fact, it would be cool if text-to-speech highlighted each word that is being spoken through out the document during dictation and you could rewind, pause or fastforward the speech in real-time. Is this feature available? if not, can anyone recommend any other programs that can do this?
thanx in advance

Is there a way to specify text-to-speech to dictate a specific line or page in a pdf file?
Yes!
With fully modern Cocoa applications (like Safari, Preview, TextEdit, and Mail) you can select the line or page and then from the application menu > Services > Speech > Start Speaking Text
You can also select and then Control-Click on the selection and then pick Speech > Start Speaking Text from the contextual menu. (Works with Safari, TextEdit, and Mail, but not Preview for PDF.)

That would be cool. Are you looking for an interface enhancement, or would a talking book reader with these features be acceptable?

No, but you can get somewhat close to this ideal by using VoiceOver and checking Show Caption Panel.

Open new window with specified width

You can use the very same Javascript function that

[SOLVED] 1366x768 framebuffer resolution

I am currently running arch on my dell studio 1555, which has a native resolution of 1366x768. I've edited the grub menu.lst to set the desired framebuffer resolution for the bootsplash and the highest i can get was 1024x768 [64k]. I've googled around but there seems to be little to no answer on how to set to 1366x768. Any help would be greatly appreciated
