Setting Display Size in X

Connecting a laptop to a new 42" Panasonic monitor (TC-L42E60), I found
the display to be blurry.
xrandr shows this line:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
Use the same hardware, on my co-worker's older 42" monitor, I see:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 930mm x 520mm
A physical size of 698mm x 392mm is closer to 32". I assume there is a
problem with the monitor's EDID (the monitor's firmware is up to date).
Does anyone know how to manually set the physical size? I fiddled
around with 'xrandr --fbmm' but to no avail.

Before making changes, I see these two lines in the output of xrandr:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
And this information from Xorg.log:
$ grep monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[225833.747] (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[225833.747] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".

[225834.680] (II) intel(0): Output DP3 has no monitor section

I then created this file:
$ vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "<default monitor>"
DisplaySize 930 520 # In millimeters
EndSection
I now see this in Xorg.log:
$ grep monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[226022.951] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".

[226023.880] (II) intel(0): Output DP3 has no monitor section
[226024.699] (II) intel(0): Monitor name: Panasonic-TV
But in the output of xrandr, I see no change to the display size:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
I understand my laptop screen is LVDS1 but I was hoping to see have a
display size of 930mm x 520mm.
1) Does anyone know how to define HDMI2 in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf ?
2) Does anyone know how to override the DisplaySize?
Maybe if I get '1' to work, '2' will follow, but I figured I'd ask.

How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?

Hi,experts,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
I drag and drop a task-flow into a jsf page to create a Region,
and set display size for the region, source code as:
===================
<f:facet name="second">
<af:decorativeBox theme="medium" id="db1">
<f:facet name="center">
<af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll" id="pgl1"
inlineStyle="width:1200px;height:700px;">
<af:region value="#{bindings.trainflow11.regionModel}" id="r1"
inlineStyle="width:1200px;height:700px;"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
</af:decorativeBox>
</f:facet>
=================
But, the Region is only showed a small fraction area on the parent jsf page whenever during design or run time.
How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?
Thanks!

Hi,
the decorative box is supposed to stretch components in the center facet, so at runtime the region should stretch. Can you try with a static region to see if this is an issue with dynamic regions?

Set display size for headless Mac Mini?

Hello.
I want to set the display on my Mac Mini (headless, control via ARD) to a widescreen setting, but since no monitor is attached, it doesn't give me the option for a widescreen display.
Any ideas how to force it to a widescreen display setting?
Thanks,
Kristin.

I found that online : http://www.macvroom.com/node/39
And I've used it once to set a mac mini to automatically switch to a non-standard resolution to display properly on some sort of strange flat-screen tv.
If you find additional info, please post for reference, can always be useful.

How to set a uniform display size of multiple intermedia image types - wher

I have read "If you want to limit the size of the file that can be uploaded, you can do this as a post generation
step, by adding the maxFileSize property to the <controller> element in the struts-config:
This does not address how to limit the *** display size *** where you have multiple intermedia image types - where the original size is not uniform.
If an image is uploaded where the true image display size is 1024 x 768 - it will display that way in the table/table-form. This will create un-even display size's where previous images sizes where different 384 x 384 and so on.
Is there a way to encode the display size so that *** ALL *** images regardless of their true size are displayed uniformly at least on one dimension (64 x ???)? This is possible when using products such as Dreamweaver or Flash.
BTW - JHS/***JDev*** synergy is truely magnificient!!! Way-To-Go Oracle!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
BG...

Bill,
I did some tests, and was able to reproduce it. The problem is that JHeadstart distinguishes between display types fileDownload and image, but UIX uses the same <media> tag to handle both display types. It will look at runtime whether it must render a hyperlink to download the document, or to render it right away as an image.
To get all images the same size, you can set the display width and height, AND the display type must be set to image.
However, to get the file name used as download link, you must set the FileName attribute AND the display type must be set to "fileDownload" ..
So, to solve your problem, it is easiest to set the displayType to "fileDownload" and set the width and height properties post-generation in the generated UIX page.
In the next release of Jheadstart, we will fix this, and always pick up width, height and fileName settings regardless of the display type.
Note that you should also set the FileName property against the attribute you are using to upload the file.

VNC/Remote Management display size setting?

I'm not sure the best place to ask this question, it has several different components involved in it. I've looked all over but can't seem to find any info on this.
I've got a headless Mini running 10.5.1. When I use a VNC client or now "Share Screen" to it, it comes up with a screen size of 1680 x 1050. Back when it was running Tiger it was something smaller (but can't remember what it was right now).
Question is... how is this size set and is it changeable?
Thanks,
Rich

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific, how do you set it to other display sizes besides the ones that are listed in Sys Prefs? What if I want to make it bigger than 1860 x1050 (which is the biggest listed)? I'm connecting from a Mac that has a 30" display, so what if I want to make it closer to that display's size, which is 2560 x 1600? How was 1680 x 1050 even picked in the first place? I do not have a monitor attached at all, let alone that size.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

How to set the size for height of iView tray?

Hi,
I have created a ABAP webdynpro component and integrated this comp with iView. Then i integrated iView into Page in portal. That is working fine.
But the size of tray/window which is displayed in the page is very small.
How to increase the height of that Tray/window/iView containing my component?

Hi,
By changing the maximum automatic height and Minimum automatic height property of the iview you can set the size for height of your iview.
to do this follow the setps:
goto content administrator -> portal content -> your folder where you created your iview or directly to your iview -> right click -> open -> object,
and now in property category choose appearance-Size from the drop down menu and set the above properties to your required height.
if you want the end user to modify this property set the property to read/write .

How to set the size of popups from KM Navigation Iview

Hello guys
Does any of you know how I can set the size of the window that pops up when you click on a resource/file in a KM navigation iview?
I have tried to enter "width=100,height=100" (without the quotes) in the Window Features property of the KM Navigation Iview, but it does not influence the size of the popups.
Any suggestions to what could be wrong? Or is it not possible at all to control the size of that popup?
Kind regards,
Martin

Hi,
I cheched yesterday if I could find the command, sorry I couldn't.
I also realized that the layout generates html link tags (ie. <a />) for the resource links, no javascript open link functions (ie. window.open), wich doesn't alowed (as far as I know) to give size to the pop-up window.
So to make the link of the resource (gived by the displayname(contectlink) property set) I think you would have to create (develop) the layout, so the link will be rendered with window_size.
You have other option, you can take off the "contentLink" setting. and add the download command, so the user who want to open / save the document can click on this command and do it in their PC.
I.E, Create a copy of the download, and add this to the Collection render displayed porpeties:
rnd:command(command=Z_download/style=link)
You ca also use and icon to represent the download (you can set that icon in the command)
I.E, rnd:command(command=Z_download_icon/style=icon)
This last options represents a problem with the km-only-read content like xml files generaded by xml forms, it can only be readed in the km-portal.
I hope this might help you.
Best regards,
Jorge M.

HT3142 Display size is too large on yahoo mail

My display size is too large on yahoo mail page only (page I need and use most). How do I correct it, please?
Changing the display selections from system preferences is not working.

There may be a control within the application you are running Yahoo.
Which browser are you using online to access Yahoo?
In the View menu bar of the open application, there may be a choice
to change the size of the display content in the window itself, check.
Some of these use a keyboard command, should the setting go to
Full Screen, you'd need to know the default or escape combination
of keys to restore the application's window to a standard size. This
kind of inside-application setting is not reflected System Wide.
Since I don't know the browser, (as I have five, each is different)
I can't recommend a keyboard combination to re-size the open
application's view or window setting. They can be non-standard.
But that likely is where you'd have to change it back to normal.
PS: Snow Leopard is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
(Tiger is OS X 10.4.x)
Good luck!

Jayanth,
Take a look at the attached example. Alternatively, you can search for it in NI Example Finder by going to Help>>Find Examples in LabVIEW, click on the search tab, and search for meshes. I had difficulty reading your code, but I believe you need to position your lighting source in the optimal location to get better definition. And the example shows how to bind a color to the object.

Setting Page Size as a Percentage vs. pixels for optimal viewing

Is there a way to set the size of my web pages as percentages so that when viewer open my site, the pages will automatically resize itself to fit the computer on which it is being viewed?
Thanks in advance!
:)L

You will get better results using a hybrid of % along with min- and max-width in pixels. This will keep your page layout from collapsing or expanding too much on super wide and super narrow displays.
#wrapper {
background-color: #222;
width: 90%;
min-width: 1045px;
max-width: 1580px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;

How do you know the best iMac display size

how do you know the best iMac display size
Only on them fits in the screen window and that makes the font so tiny. The others are too wide or too tall. I usually view at 150 - 200% for vision issues.

You say it's better to do the Media Browser? I'm fairly new to movie, dvd and garage band. How would I go about using the Media Browser instead of straight to iDVD?
Select Your project - go up to Share - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD)
In iDVD select a nice theme - click on Media button - click on Movie - Select Your movie.
NOW - Save as a DiskImage - and test this before burning DVDs - if this Plays OK then either burn the Image by using Disk Util tool (and set down burn-speed to x4) - or burn via iDVD (will take more time)
I want to keep as much quality as I can.
Then don't use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they all discard every second line resulting in less quality on the DVD. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version.
Also...I tried to split my project in iMovie...but couldn't find a way. I wound up just making a copy and then deleting out a handful of scenes from the copy...I still have the original at 4:12hrs. Is there a way in iMovie to split a project?
I would make a copy and cut away a bit from the end - calling this Part 1 and from start of the other copy Part 2.
OR - there are other programs that can squees in more to a DVD e.g. Roxio Toast™ - BUT this has two cons.
• It costs - to me it was well spent mony as it can so much more e.g. back engineer a DVD to an editable form
• Squeesing in more on a DVD - costs in QUALITY - and as You want as much as it can be - then 90 minuts portions encoded with Pro-Quality encoding and full quality interlasced material from a video-editor that delivers this is the way to get 100% of what DVDs can do.
DVD is as standard only SD-Video - HD not possibly. Then You need Blu-Ray. (also Roxio Toast™)
Yours Bengt W
