Qosmio X70-B-10T - VGA output supports only 1920x1080

I'm trying to set two HP Compaq LA2405wg monitors on my Qosmio X70-B-10T, one via HDMI and the other via VGA.
The monitors run @ 1920x1200.
Unfortunately, whilst the HDMI screen comes out okay, the screen connected via VGA only goes up to 1920x1080.
Is there a way to fix this?
My old Satellite Pro L870 managed both screens like this just fine.

The notebook supports two GPUs.
Internal Intel HD Graphics 4600
External AMD Radeon R9 M265X
What GPU is in use and what GPU controls the both monitors?
If you use the ATI GPU you could check the CCC (catalyst) settings.
Catalyst Control Center → MonitorProperties → Attributes
and here change MonitorAttributes to:
uncheck the option “Use Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) or driver defaults”
Then you could set Maximum resolution to: 1920x1200 at 60 Hz
After that restart Catalyst, set 1920x1200 then it should work.
If it will not work change also
CCC → DisplayOptions → from “Detect…” to “Use manual detection only" ( i must click the Detect Displays button) and on the same page
displayManagementOptions
For diplays of limites resolution capabilities → List all possible modes ( including panning modes)

  • T420 (4180-1G8): Problem with VGA output to external monitor

    Hello,
    I am trying to get the VGA output to an external monitor to work.
    I am connected to my monitor directly using a standard VGA cable.
    I am trying to enable primary display to the external monitor: I only get a black screen.  The monitor says it is not receiving a signal.

    Note: the external monitor works fine with my desktop computer and with a T400 laptop.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Follow-up:
    I have tried the latest "generic" Intel driver after completely uninstalling the device driver from device manager: without success.
    I have tried another monitor from a different manufacturer: no luck.
    To eliminate the device driver as a possible cause, I tried booting from an Unbuntu boot CD: no luck.
    I have enabled boot display on the VGA port in the BIOS: screen remains black.
    I am suspecting that the VGA port on my brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T420 is simply not working at all.
    I have opened a call with my hardware support.

  • VGA output to External Monitor or Projector

    One of the main reasons I bought the iPad is to start using it as my travel devise instead of the bulky MacBook. I make a lot of sales presentations using Keynote but I also have to demonstrate Web application using browsers such as Safari. I was totally crushed to discover that the VGA output only works with certain applications and DOES NOT WORK with Safari. So much for using the iPad as a travel device! You would think given that using a browser is at least 50% of what most people do on these devices, Apple would have found a way to provide VGA output for Safari! They certainly missed the boat on this one big time.
    Does anyone know of an App that would allow you to run the browser through a "Video" wrapper so it can be seen on an external monitor or projector? Here is an idea for a creative developer to make a ton of money! It will make my iDud (did I say that?) be worth taking along on a trip. If i am staying home I can watch movies on my desktop, I don't need the VGA for watching movies!

    First and foremost, I love my iPad, using it for the many things it does as my personal tablet is great!
    While experimenting with it for a mobile work device, or a lightweight travel device, I've had mixed results.
    I understood when buying the iPad that it was not a Mac or PC replacement, I'm just surprised at the limitations.
    On the VGA out cable, I gotta say I tried to do the same level of research, but unfortunately being a relative newby to the Apple experience, I fell for the Apple makes it quicker simpler easier, they think of everything hype. I too thought that a VGA out cable would do exactly that and did not see anything that described the limitations.
    I also think Apple missed the boat here, they could have made this the perfect lightweight travel/mobile companion device to whatever Mac/PC is sitting back at the office. I understand they are trying to protect their Mac business, but this could have been a perfect Trojan horse for them. By getting PC users hooked on Keynote/Pages/Numbers on an iPad, they would have been more inclined to purchase a Mac to replace whatever they currently have.
    I know I would have.
    I'm using this in business today, I'm accessing all of our web enabled back office tools without issues and using webmail to access outlook, basically 75% of my daily work can be accomplished on my iPad.
    The webex app works great, but doesn't support the VGA out (nor did it say anywhere that it would or wouldn't).
    The remaining 25% of my works needs fall to these apps:
    I want to use Numbers, but can't, since it won't export in .xls format, which is what the rest of my company, is standardized on.
    I will be able to use Keynote in a Kiosk mode at tradeshows or in meetings to project via the VGA connector, but won't be able to use it for any serious work since I can't export in .PPT format.
    I won't be purchasing Pages, while it does save in a .DOC format, I'm now leery of what it won't do, and without the ability to use Numbers and the limited use of Keynote, this keeps me from using this more in the business world.
    While it may sound like I’m whining, I’m not, I’m trying to express a few of the short comings, that could have made a similar impact to my business life as it has within my personal life.
    In addition, for folks doing research, I hope this helps clarify some of the items that appear to be more difficult to find.

  • Degraded VGA output following Snow Leopard 10.6 software updates

    IN the last two weeks I have accepted all Snow Leopard updates. Since installing these updates, the VGA output to a Data Projector and a VGA monitor have degraded, lost colour resolution and gained a red filter effect. I have tested this failure on an updated 3 year old iBook, same problem, and on a 1 year old MacBook Pro - same problem and on my 2008 MacBook Pro. The common link is that all 3 machines have taken all updates issued up to Friday 16th April. But on my MacPro, I have not installed any updates in more than 6 weeks and the problem does not occur when the MacPro signal is sent to the same data projector used with the laptops. Further, a friend has tried their family IBook that has not had any recent 10.6 updates and it works without a problem. There appears to be a problem in recent updates that degrades the VGA signal. Has anyone else had a problem with a post update laptop on a Data Projector and get the same problem, but does not get this problem on a pre- update laptop. The updates were only released in the last 4 weeks.? Warren

    Thank you to those of you who have provided support for this problem. I have spoken to the Apple Technical people who have read this thread and expressed concern that it was so repeatable. I think that's there way of saying it may be a software problem I think.
    I promised to try one more test for them. Yesterday I received my brand new model MacBookPro 15" i7 processor running the 500Gig 7200 HDD(oh so very nice). This has come with the latest 10.6.3 etc. Took all the instal upgrades. Connected it to the same data projector that 3 of the 5 other machines we have tested, and the same problem exists.
    Remember 3 of the 5 have been upgraded to 10.6.3. and the two that still work are running 10.6.2 or lower. There is clearly a software issue now, and I am hopeful the technician I spoke to yesterday is monitoring this thread and will pick up this message. I have a case number so I will call them (when I can find where I wrote it down) next week.
    From your feedback folks this is consistent with what you have been seeing also. I also notice in another discussion forum on this site, there is a reported "screen" dimming when connected to a VGA screen. I suspect this is the same problem.
    Apple - over to you, I think you have a bug in 10.6.3 (patch and full install)

  • Qosmio X70-A-12 and new BIOS - FILE NOT FOUND

    ifi would to download the brandnew BIOS driver (20/12/2013 - 1.40 WIN) i get an 404 !!!
    http://www.toshiba.at/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=AT
    Thx for fixing that SOON
    Qosmio X70-A-12

    how long must we wait?
    it is simply not acceptable that you are selling gaming notebooks, which you can not play because you have to have the fear start to burn them!!
    finally brings a bios driver out cools this whole s***.
    your support is very very bad.
    if you have a problem you will be redirected to the forum where nobody helps or granted only s***** advices.
    or you should call the expensive special phone number for 1 per minute but please.
    I have a qosmio x70 a12, which has cost me nearly 2000 .
    I can think for this amount of money you expect service and not dead left (bios 404) or during the day no download limit.
    I'm almost compelled, the system cpu to throttle 100mV does not run out of laptop due to overheating. and in battlefield bad company 2 from the year 2010!

  • Were to get Qosmio X70-A-11Q with a Portuguese keyboard layout

    Hello,
    I live in Austria but I am Portuguese.
    I am wondering if and where I can get the Qosmio X70-A-11Q with a Portuguese keyboard layout.
    I wouldnt mind buying it directly from the factory or wait a little more.
    Thank you in advance!
    Shark

    >And would toshiba.pt send the laptop all the way to Austria by post?
    Toshiba.pt does not sell the notebook. but you have to find an dealer who would sell this device.
    >How about guarantee? Do I get support from Toshiba Austria?
    I think all warranty details can be found on Toshiba page (Toshiba.pt)
    But from my knowledge the notebook is covered by one year standard warranty. Of course you can purchase some additional services you should check this on Toshiba page.
    But the standard warranty covers only the notebook for one year and in case something would go wrong you have to repair it in country where you made the purchase.

  • Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

    Hello.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
    The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
    The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
    The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
    It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I would like to give my 2 cents to this post (and the answers from Toshiba):

    I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
    Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
    One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
    After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
    So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
    At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
    My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
    Thank you !!

  • Does Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter support DDC/CI?

    I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook5,1.
    Mac Pro is attached to a BenQ monitor which supports DDC/CI communication.
    With a capable software I'm able to set brightness and contrast of the monitor without using monitor's OSD (thanks to DDC/CI communication).
    If I attach the same monitor to my MacBook5,1 with VGA cable through a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, DDC/CI stops working.
    I'm no more able to set brightness and contrast and the app reports that monitor isn't DDC/CI capable.
    I'm sure its not an issue related to the app that I'm using to set brightness and contrast. It detects correctly both of the monitor (the internal and the external one) and I'm sure that I'm sending DDC/CI commands to the external monitor and not to the internal one.
    So, does Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter support DDC/CI, and therefore passthrough its signal?
    Or is it a problem of MacBook and its Mini DisplayPort which does not support DDC/CI at all? I don't think so.
    I hope you can help me.
    Regards
    Andrea

    No. Unlike DVI, which in the DVI-I configuration has both digital and analog pinouts, DisplayPort (and mini-DisplayPort) are purely digital. Mini-DP to DVI then DVI to VGA will not work. If you look carefully at the Apple Mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, you'll notice it's a DVI-D connector - digital pins only.
    The Apple mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter contains a digital-to-analog converter.
    So, you'll have to choose. If you want VGA, get Apple's mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

  • Tearing on VGA output, LVDS OK on 950GMA with xf86-video-intel-2.6.10

    I'm crossposting this message i sent on intel-graphics ml and xorg bugzilla, because maybe some of you can point me to a solution.
    i own an asus eeepc1005ha, it uses intel gma 950.
    Playing a video on the internal LVDS panel is very pleasing and tear
    free, but as soon as i connect the vga output, i can notice tearing or
    flickering on the picture.
    I tried all possible configurations:
    -Booting with the lid open (tty on LVDS) and then switching to xorg
    with a VGA only output. (VGA tears)
    -Booting with the lid closed (tty on VGA) and using xorg on VGA. (VGA tears)
    -VGA+LVDS in clone mode (VGA and LVDS tears)
    -VGA+LVDS in multihead mode (expanded desktop) (VGA and LVDS tears)
    Using xv adaptor via mplayer results in a different tear effect, seems
    more like a flickering, while the GL output definitely tears.
    I couldn't try overlay adaptor because i don't have a 2.6.33 kernel yet
    (believe it or not, i've seen overlay tearing too with an old intel
    driver in the past, i think 2.7.1, in a cloned mode if lvds was at
    60hz, while vga was at 70hz)
    I'm using xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9
    I used the framerate test videos available here:
    http://spng.se/frame-rate-test/
    Thanks for reading.

    You're right, here's the references:
    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 06092.html
    http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26925
    About your command, i'll try, but what it does is just picking the first port from first adaptor, right?
    By now (xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9), we just have a single adaptor, the textured one;
    why the first port should make a difference?
    Maybe with your setup the overlay adaptor was picked, and in 99% of the cases that would certanly help.
    As a side note, newer mplayer versions comes with an useful option: -vo xv:adaptor=#
    What i think is that vblank interrupts generation is (and was) messed up in the drivers code.
    see:

  • VGA output signal is present but my VGA monitor won't display it --- why?

    When I connect the iPad to a Samsung SyncMaster 570STFT display (with the Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter) and try to play a movie, the audio plays and the image on the iPad is not updated (which I would expect, since it's supposed to be playing on the external VGA), but the monitor reports "Video mode not supported" (which is what it says when the display resolution is out of range).
    I've verified that the monitor works fine at iPad resolution (by plugging it into a Mac Mini and confirming that it is operating at 1024x768).
    Is there something unusual about the iPad's VGA output that is incompatible with some displays? Has anybody else run into this problem?

    Scan rate and frame rate are different item. VGA is analogue and is based on CRT in which the electron gun scan the phosphors on the screen. Frame rate, as you seem to know, is how many screens there are per second.
    If you look at the properties of your video what does it say. Does it play on your iPad?
    The tech specs for the iPad say the following. Note that it says:
    "640 by 480 pixels" for MPEG-4
    TV and video
    Support for 1024 by 768 pixels with Dock Connector to VGA Adapter; 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable

  • Problem with lenovo t60 and the vga output

    I have a problem with the vga output and the lenovo t60
    When i put the videoprojector connector in to the lenovo t 60, the projector reponde is:
    Not supported
    H: 48.20khz   v: 143,10 hz
     On my desktop pc the projector function on 1024x768 resolution and the 60 hz to refresh.
    The same configurations are on my laptop and the projector doesn't function
    Please help me.

    I too have this problem. My T61 worked fine for about a year, and then suddenly would no longer project. I had made no changes to the settings for the external display, though since the problem started I've tried many combinations without success. Typically the projector reports that the frequency settings the laptop is sending are unsupported. In my case the vertical rate is usually correct (60 Hz) but the horizontal rate varies wildly.
    I suspect a hardware problem, as this post suggests: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-relate​d/32128-laptop-wont-display-projector.html. (Note the message claiming that 6 out of 40 Lenovo laptops exhibited this problem.)
    Since my system is still under warranty I guess I'll have to get it repaired, but I'd rather hear of a software fix...

  • How to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

    how to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

    VGA and DVI do not carry sound.  Only HDMI.
    Use a minidisplay-to-HDMI adapter.  Then when the TV is connected to the system use "System Prefences > Sound > Output" to select the TV for sound.
    Or connect speakers to the output port of the MBP.

  • MacMini 2011 VGA output

    Hi,
    I've read many threads about people having issues with VGA monitors (via mini display port adapters) going blank.  It seems to be when booting, coming out of sleep mode and when changing resolution.  It also seems to be intermitant.  The VGA output goes blank, but the monitor still recognises that it is attached and the Mac Mini recognises the monitor.  The tempory solution is to pull out the display port adapter, wait, then plug in again (every single time this happens!).
    I am having exactly these issues and am using a Dell E173FP monitor.
    Can I ask:
    1)  Has anyone taken their MacMini back, got a replacement and found the issue has gone away?
    2)  Does anyone have a 2011 Mac Mini working reliably with VGA?
    3)  Has anyone got any response from Apple on the issue?  (I saw the firmware update, but it won't run on my Mac Mini, I suspect because I've already installed all the latest updates)
    thanks
    Paul

    i have my new mid 2011 mac mini hooked with a Samsung VGA monitor, it works perfectly fine. it is connected via a mini display port to VGA adaptor which had to be purchased seperately. Mine used to go when coming out of sleep mode.
    Then i had made some changes in the energy saver mode with help of the Apple technical support on call. I remember that he asked me to delete the library files which saved my earlier energy saving settings. I don't exactly remember the folder, so i don't want suggest any wrong folder unknowingly as fiddling around with library files can be detrimental.

    I have built a stand-alone Real-Time Application on my CVS by following the method in ‘RT_Getting_Started.pdf’ file, and I think it is successful (because the ‘startup.rtexe’ file is already created in the startup folder in CVS). I was set the application file as a startup.
    Is it possible to show a Front Panel of Real-Time Application (Startup program) from a VGA output of CVS without using any PC?  I want to use only CVS and Monitor (from VGA output).

    hello MFarid,
    Thank you for your post.
    It is only possible to show some images and counters on the VGA output of an CVS. You will need a graphical operating system (like windows) to present the complete front panel of your VI. There are complete panel PC's (like PPC 2015 and PPC 2115) which are complete PC's with a touch screen.
    If you want to make a simple user interface (only some buttons to control the CSV and some simple data presenting) a touch panel (Windows CE device) can be used. Please be aware that you need a Labview touch panel module to deploy to this kind of device. The simple user interface can communicate throug shared variables with your Labview application on the CVI.
    So I'm sorry to say that with only a monitor and a CVS it isn't possible.
    Many greetings,

  • No VGA output

    Hi all,
    I have a small problem I have just purchased a new K7N2 Delta motherboard, from Scan.com.   I am running an Asus GeForce 4 V9480/TVD graphic card,  with 1 Gb of DDR 2700 memory and a 120Gb HDD, with Windows XP Pro.
    Now the problem I have is that although I get VGA output when loading, when ever I try and run a new program I only receive a black screen.  I know the VGA card is good as I have had it tested at the place of purchase, I have also re-installed windows xp pro (format -then- install) but no joy.  I have also tried with my old Abit board and this works fine.
    So the question is,
    Is there a know issue about using other makes (non-MSI) of VGA cards on your motherboards?
    Do I need to Down load MSI NVIDIA drivers?
    Has any one seen this before?
    Any help would be good.
    Regards,
    Laurence

    Nope, no good I have D/L the latest nivida drivers, and run the MSI Update program, but still no good.
     I have also checked the PSU (400w Q-Tec), swaped the VGA card into another x8 AGP system and this works fine. I also re-built the system with it's old Abit Mobo and she works fine.
    What I have seen is that the DirectX Direct 3D test do not display anything, just a black screen.  
    One point of note, the power settings shown by the MSI programe are high for the 5v running at 6.10 and 12v running at 13.9. Could this be the problem?
     :D Dumb question Time :D
    If I turn off AGPx8 in the Bios will this stop the card from outputting, it is a 8xAGP card you see.
