Screen Resolution Too Small With Bumblebee

I have a Thinkpad w540 which has optimus.  I installed bumblebee and it certainly works.  That is to say that it switches between the two graphics cards (I don't have power management down yet.).  However, when I open a fullscreen game with bumblebee (specifically Bastion) the game opens in a very small windown in the top left corner of the screen.  The rest of the screen is black.  When I use bumblebee to open up the Nvidia control panel it seems that the resolution won't go greater than 640x480.  My screen is 1920x1080. 
Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have a work around?  I would love to be able to use both of the video cards that are on this laptop.

I'm a Gentoo user with precisely this problem (running Bastion through Bumblebee/Optimus on my W520, with a small window for Bastion but no similar problem for Amnesia: TDD). I don't suppose you know what AUR is doing to create the intelbastion script? I'd like to try replicating it in my ebuild.
EDIT: Hmm, looking elsewhere in this forum, it appears that "force_s3tc_enable=true bastion" makes the game work on my Intel card (rather than the nVidia one). Plus there are some useful Bash scripts here. Anyway, it would be nice to know if this is similar to what the intelbastion script is doing, nonetheless.

  • ITS Mobile screen sizes too small on iPhone device

    Hi Everybody,
    I am facing the some problems relating to screen sizes on iphone mobile. The ITS service and the templates were working fine at the desktop level..But, in iPhone,screen sizes are too small to view.We need to zoom it and enter.I have tried with screen format 16X20 and 16X20ITS.
    Can any body provide the solution to fix the problem?
    Regards,
    Mahesh

    You must have a very high resolution screen, also called HiDpi.
    If you have Photoshop CC 2014, you can go to Edit > Preferences > Experimental Features and checkmark "Scale UI 200%"
    If you have CC, CS6, or below, there is no way to scale the UI as of yet. There may not be. These products are no longer being updated.
    At best I can recommend reducing the resolution down to around 1400 px horizontal. That's not the native resolution and defeats the purpose of having a Hidpi screen.
    So only thing left aside from returning the laptop, is to work with a large external monitor, or for $10/monthly, join the Photography Plan and you can use CC 2014 and the 200% UI.

  • My screen resolution becomes small when I play any game

    Hi,
    I own a Toshiba Satellite M30X-113 with a atim mobility radeon 9700 graphics card. Lately, when I have been playing games, the screen resolution has shrunk ,and its become small. I try changing it from the menu (video options) but its still has no effect. I then used windows display mode to change, but that too had no effect. I used to use 32-bit setting on 1024x768, but it also keeps jumping back to 1280 resolution. Why is this happening? Is there any way to change it back to the way it was.

    Hi
    I agree with audigex. The games internal resolution has nothing to do with the computer display resolution. Usually you can change the resolution in the game settings.
    I cant give you a proper answer why it has changed but Im sure the game settings are responsible for this issue.

  • I have a 22 inch monitor set at 150% but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot make font or screen larger. I can do Control++ each time I enter a page but don't want that to be my solution.

    In control panel/display, I had my display set at 150% and at 1680 X 1050 resolution. This filled my 22 inch screen with the page content. Now that I have installed Firefox, the font is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3" per side of blank space. I want to fill the screen and make everything larger. Haven't found a way to do that. Firefox tells me in my control panel/display window that by setting my display at 150%, "some items may not fit in your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution. It worked fine with Explorer.

    The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
    Try the Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • Menus and Fonts too small with Panasonic HDTV

    I just hooked up a new Mini (Intel chip) to my Panasonic HDTV-- 34" Model No. CT-34WX53-- using a DVI cable. The desktop shows up fine, but the menus and fonts are so tiny that I can't read them. When I try using Front Row, the pictures and vide are gorgeous and the fonts in Front Row are fine. It's just the fonts and menus in on the desktop and in other programs that are too small. Does anyone know how to fix?

    Edward,
    That's the price of having a gazillion pixels!
    You have two options - send less pixels to the display or change each application (Including the finder) to show larger fonts and icons.
    The lower the resolution option is easy and fast. The downside of "zoom"-ing the display is it may look blocky at certain resolutions and the fonts and fine details in photos and movies may be lost if the mac has to alias or scale the video. If you do this - you might want to enable the menu bar item for display preferences to quickly switch between the setting you prefer. I use one setting for actually using the mac and another setting for playing movies and showing slides in FrontRow.
    The change the preferences to make the fonts and icons larger is more of a pain but yields the most crisp display and you don't have to change things up. I would start with Finder Preferences (select an icon on your desktop and on the View menu - show view options - crank up the icon size and font size.) Unfortunately - you have to do this in each application you use. It also won't change the menu font sizes - you might need an "extension" from a developer to change that.

  • Accidental​ly set my screen resolution too high

    I was playing around with screen resolutions and accidentally set one too high and now every time i load up my Computer, it says 'Input not supported' , please help me.

    It would help greatly if you:
    A) Identified the installed operating system
    B) Identified your HP desktop PC. (look on the service tag. Post the complete  p/n
    If your OS is Windows 7, start the operating system in Safe Mode. Press the power button and before Windows begins to boot, start tapping the F8 key. Choose Safe Mode.  In Safe Mode click on the start button and type  msconfig in the search all programs and files box . Click on the msconfig icon that appears above to invoke msconfig. In the msconfig dialog choose the Boot tab as in the following image. In Boot options put a tick inside the box to the left of base video, then click on apply and OK. Restart your PC and  right-click an unused area on the desktop and set your resolution. Choose the recommended resolution.  After you do that, go back to the msconfig and remove the tick mark in the Boot options -->Base video, click on OK and restart your PC. All should be back to normal again.
    The desktop I am using has a dual display setup, so yours will appear a bit differently. the operatng system will recommend an optimal resolution and designate it as recommended.
    Best regards,

  • Screen resolution too high - text is tiny - how to change?

    I'm a newbie to Audition, and spent 2.5 hours this weekend editing a 6.5 minute talk. Ended up with a massive headache, largely because of the small size of the text in the screen menues, etc.
    Anyone know how to change these? I Use a MS Surface 3 pro with very high resolution (21160*1440)  with a 22" screen set at 1680 *1050 (max for the screen) .
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    You don't mention which version of Audition you are using, but support for High DPI displays was added to Audition and other Adobe applications last year.  This adds support for icon and text scaling, which is configured at the OS level.  Found a good overview and write-up about this at How to Make the Windows Desktop Work Well on High-DPI Displays and Fix Blurry Fonts but the quick-and-dirty method is to right-click on your Windows desktop and choose Screen Resolution then click on the item Make text and other items larger or smaller.  There, you can select scaling at 125% and 150%.  You'll probably need to log back into your Windows account for the change to take effect.

  • When using itunes my screen becomes 'too small"

    when I start i tunes on my pc (windows XP)
    everything on the screen gets bigger
    i-tunes works perfectly and within the screen
    but with a screen that's too small, it's very difficult to run
    other programs
    basically I'm forced to stop all other programs whem running i-tunes

    If you can hook up an external monitor you can try that, but otherwise, that machine is not suitable for running InDesign. Many of the dialog boxes are taller than 576 px.

  • Mac mini screen resolution not synced with monitor

    Hello! I have a Mac mini at home, equipped to an hp w2408h monitor via HDMI cable. Recently, I went to my friends' house with my Mac, plugging it in to their projector and playing Minecraft. However, I had to adjust the screen resolution, and once I got back and set everything up again, the monitor said I need to 'adjust screen resolution'. Is there any way to reset/sync/calibrate the resolution to the monitor, or do I have to go back and readjust the settings? Thanks! :3

  • Problem with labtop resolusion too small

    Hi everyone,
    this is weird quasion but i cant find any place else where to ask this quastion:
    im programming a progam that have a jframe of 1000x 750
    and my new labtop max resolustion is 1280x800 this mean i dont see the full JFRAME and i cant programm my program
    is there any way to make all the comonents on the JFRAME smaller?
    or any outzoom programs or command or any solusion for this?
    thanks in advance

    Why do you have a fixed size to begin with?
    Sure there's a way to resize, but your question is too general to tell you how. Your LayoutManager should take care of that.
    And for what it's worth: Swing questions are best asked in the Swing section, wouldn't you think?

  • Screen information too small on Retina display

    I am running Lightroom 4.1 in Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro with Parallels 8. The screen information and dialogs are so small I can't read them. I suspect it is a problem with the extreme resolution of the Retina display. Is there some way to increase the size of the text so it is readable.?

    I don't know if it does, but as the software running on the Mac that could be aware of the Mac's retina display, Bootcamp should provide some sort of pixel-doubling compatability mode or something, right?
    It still isn't clear why you are not using the Mac version.  Do you have a serial number?  Have you tried installing the Mac version and using the serial number to activate it? 
    If you're not sure of the serial number, anymore, you can try using the Belarc Advisor to analyze your Bootcamp partition and find various Adobe serial numbers:
    http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
    And if what the school has provided doesn't use serial numbers, then talk to them about supplying a Mac version for you, then.

  • PSE 9 Editor Screen Font Too Small

    I just upgraded to PSE 9 when I purchased a new PC and High Def monitor set at the recommended resolution of 1920x1080. Now the font in the Editor is so small I cannot read it. Changing the monitor DPI does not change the Editor font. Is there a way to increase the Editor screen font?  I purchased the new PC and monitor specifically for PSE and Premier Elements use but haven't been able to get there yet.

    I'm assuming by screen font, you mean the size of the type in the Editor, such as the type in the pull-down menus.  Obviously I can't know exactly how small your type is, but I recently "upgraded" from PSE 5 to 9 and found the type on the tools and menus to be small and hard to read.  The main problem is the type is all white and reversed out of dark black.  Don't the Adobe developers know that reverse type is harder to read than black on white?  The little black arrows on each tool that has options is almost impossible to see unless I work at night with no lights in the room.

  • Resolution too high with Reader X standard

    We installed Reader X on our computers,  all of the sudden the file sizes of all of the pdf's are around 20 megs.  Can't find anywhere to adjust the resolution?

    If I right click on the file and look at properties.....
    If I convert any file to a pdf, whether converting word doc, or a jpg the new pdf takes forever to open, I assumed that meant the file size was now giant.  You are saying that it has nothing to do with the conversion to a pdf?
