NVIDIA metamodes, programs centered on screen, can't switch resolution

So, following problem: programs that use a none-native resolution get centered on screen, but aren't scaled up (e.g baldurs gate is only a small rectangle of 640x480 in the middle of the screen). Games running native resolution run perfectly in fillscreen (e.g. bastion, ut2004). Dosbox also doesn't scale up fullscreen anymore.
Switching reolution also doesn't work, cause nvidia-settings only gives me my native resolution as a choice.
xrandr output:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
TV-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
1680x1050 60.0*+
I have tried adding new modes with xrandr (as in the wiki), but I get a error at this step:
$ xrandr --addmode LVDS-0 1280x1024_60.00
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Current serial number in output stream: 28
I have also tried adding new Metamodes in xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf. But thanks to nearly NO documentation on that, I can't be sure if I'm doing it right. It doesn't change a thing anyways.

I'm running X with herbstluftwm (no gnome or such) from tty1.
I've heard that nvidia is still working on this feature, but I don't really want to rely on their work, who knows how long that will take.
Can anybody help me? Is there any more info you need?

I've had the same issue - presumably caused because I restored my new Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup of my old Macbook. Strange that System Preferences automatically adds in things like the new trackpad, yet somehow misses the Graphics option in Energy Saver...
Anyway, I guess I'll do the Archive & Install option using the Macbook Pro install disk - question for you lemoncheese - did you lose any settings, prefs etc in doing the archive & install? I've not done one before and not quite sure what i'm in for...

  • Nvidia, two monitors, both load, opens all programs on first screen

    Hey all,
    I have an nvidia GE force 9400GT and using two monitors.
    In awesome wm, i get two different screens, almost like two computers shareing a keyboard.
    However, in gnome, i get almost the same, but not quite. My wallpaper stretches across both screens, and if i open a program in either screen, it will only load in the first screen,
    I don't want one large desktop spread over two monitors, would much rather have two seperate screens.
    Am using the nvidia-173xx package
    appreciate any advice. thanks

    I have two monitors as well. What I am doing is running a separate X server on every screen. This behavior can easily be configured in the nvidia-settings application, on the "X Server Display Configuration" tab. Just press "Configure" and you are prompted for three options. Choose "Separate X screen". Then click OK, "Save to X Configuration File" and restart your X.
    What you should note when you restart your X is that your window manger doesn't probably load on the secondary screen without further configuration. I have the following two lines on my .xinitrc file which loads Openbox to both of my screens (which you can use as reference):
    DISPLAY=:0.0 exec openbox-session &
    DISPLAY=:0.1 exec openbox

    I just purchased a Thunderbolt Display as an additional screen for Photoshop work.  Following set up instructions appears to allow only mirroring of the screens.  How can I set up to show/work in separate programs on each screen? 

    Yes, each blue rectangle is a screen. You can create different geometries, to suit your needs. For example, you can even make this kind of thing... :

    Also you can see the below examples...
    Go to se38 and give demodynpro and press F4.

    Both Mail and Safari have Activity Options that open a  screen that shows you just how the site or mail is loading.
    In Safari if you are having trouble with a site in activity you will see the count of items being downloaded - and if an error occurs it shows red.
    On the top is the number of items it is loading or trying to load and the count should be increasing.   If the count stops, and you don't have errors it may be that too many people are going after the same site and your request just timed out. Have had the time out on a news site when trying to load a most popular article.

  • When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen.

    When I am on a phone call and I double click the button to go to my home screen, then open another application (usually my calendar program, Calengoo), my screen goes blank and I am not able to return to either the app, the phone, or the home screen. If I am speaking to a person, if they hang up then I am back to the phone application. If I'm leaving a message, I am unable to return to the phone screen to end the call, and have to wait until the other phone hangs up. I'm also unable to switch back and forth to look at my calendar if I'm calling someone about scheduling. This has only started happening since the most recent iOs update. I run into situations similar to this about once per day during the work week, as I use my phone is this manner quite often. While not life altering it is quite frustrating. Can anyone here help me figure out a way to avoid this? If it helps, I have noticed a general downgrade in overall performance starting two system updates ago (apps opening more slowly, closing unexpectedly more often, etc.). I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest OS update.
    Thank you for any help or suggestions,
    Chris

    I could be corrupted backup.
    You can check the notification settings for message.
    Settings>Notification Center>Messages>Alert Style
    It should be on Banners or Alerts.
    Settings>Messages> Turn on Imessage and send as SMS and below that "Blocked" to check if you have any numbers block might be blocking the message.
    You can also do a hard reset by holding power and home till it restarts and release after seeing the apple logo.
    Still doesn't work? Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

    Hi,
    May be just for viewing, try downloading from SE80 transaction from the others option.
    Here just try issuing the print, it will generate the spool.
    Now using the spool, download to your desktop as required. It will have all the information regarding the attributes, fields, elements everything.
    The only issue is, may be you need to take all the screens separately.
    Regards,
    Santhosh.

  • Running two programs on one screen

    Hi,
    is there a possibility to run two different programs on one screen, independantly from each other. Or is this a kind of Container in which you can run a program?

    You might find the methods of class CL_GUI_TIMER of interest e.g. you could kick of pair of timers and have different logic run after each returns.  Is that the sort of effect you want?

    It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
    The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

  • IPhone 4s screen can't be scratched

    I've got an iPhone 4s like 6 months ago. I protect my screen with a screen protector, but my friends told me that iPhone's screen can't be scratched, its this true?

    Of course it's not true. It's made of glass. No matter how hard the glass is, it can be scratched.
    As a practical matter, I never use screen protectors and I've had iPhones since the original in '07. I've never had scratches on the screen.
