Setting resolution on NEC myltisync monitor on a macG3

Hi,
I have a NEC multisync 1560nx lcd monitor, i have plugged it into my G3 but when i try to change the resolution to 1024-768 it wont change, i downloaded the multisync software for mac os9 and when i try to unstuff it it says....."decoding was incomplete because an unknown BINHEX header version was detected"
I have no idea what this means or how to solve the problem, please could anyone help with this, many thanks.
Andy.

Hi, Andy -
I downloaded that file (specifically the version for OS 9) and it fully auto-decompressed without problem. This was using OS 9.1 and IE 5.1.7 and its built-in decompression capabilities.
I also tested the downloaded file which was decompressed from the source's .hqx file, one named "NaViSet for Mac OS 9 V1.0.10.se" - the suffix should probably be .sea, which indicates it is a self-extracting file, one which does not need any assistance in order to decompress, but the name length exceeded OS 9's capability.
The file type indicates it was made by Stuffit Deluxe v. 7, but when I dropped it onto Stuffit Expander 5.5 it decompressed without a problem.
It also decompressed properly when I double-clicked that file, although it took a bit longer than using Stuffit Expander, and also required a response to a Navigation Services intercept (a request as to where to place the decompressed file).
Based on that testing, it would appear there is nothing wrong with the download or the file itself. Rather, it may be a function of how your software is configured for decompression of files - what version(s) of Stuffit Expander you have available, what browser you are using, etc.
Try dropping the initial (uncompressed) file onto the icon for Stuffit Expander.

Gnome 3.4.1 unable to set resolutions for a dual-monitor setup

I use Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller.
I updated my system to the latest version of everything. Gnome-Shell works, gnome-control-center works, but the Displays icon doesn't (clicking on it does nothing). I even downgraded it to the version 3.2.2 but it didn't help. Is there any other way to set the resolutions?
Edit: xrandr can do the resolution thing. But problems start appearing:
[ly@archlev ~]$ gedit
gedit: symbol lookup error: gedit: undefined symbol: gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_resource
[ly@archlev ~]$ gnome-system-monitor

Have you tried XRandR through an xorg.conf file: Here?
If it doesn't work you can always drop to a terminal and
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
to remove the file and reboot and you should be back where you started.
Don't forget to substitute the VGA1 and HDMI1 ports in that example with your ports as given by
xrandr -q
Edit: in the unlikely event you already have an xorg.conf file don't forget to back it up in case you need to restore it instead of the above rm command.

IQ770 /771 setting or checking the resolution of a second monitor

Hi I have a Touchsmart 771 and would like to use a second monitor, I have a spare HP W19 monitor that as far as I can see is the same resolution as the integrated monitor ( 1440x900 60Hz). If I connect this to the external port it seems to work fine when a second screen at it's native resolution. When I use the Nvidia tool to select a clone display both displays reduce in resolution.
I can't find any way in the Nvidia tool to display what the resolution is or to be able to try and change it.
I am happy to buy another monitor if for some reason the W19 screen is causing the problem but don't wan't to spend that money to find that it does not.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I wasn't really expecting a reply - a bit of an oddball question!
Anyway, this is what I did in the end just in case anyone in the future needs it:
private boolean locationAndSizeOK(int posX, int posY, int width, int height)
        if ((width < MINIMUM_FRAME_WIDTH) || (height < MINIMUM_FRAME_HEIGHT))
            return false;
        GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getScreenDevices();
        // Find out if the top left or right corner is in one of the screens.
        for (GraphicsDevice device : devices)
            // Get the bounds and the insets (i.e. task bar).
            Rectangle bounds = device.getDefaultConfiguration().getBounds();
            Insets screenInsets = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenInsets(device.getDefaultConfiguration());
            // Calculate visible area.
            int x1 = bounds.x + screenInsets.left;
            int x2 = bounds.x + bounds.width - screenInsets.right;
            int y1 = bounds.y + screenInsets.top;
            int y2 = bounds.y + bounds.height - screenInsets.bottom;
            // Top left corner.
            if ((posX > x1) && (posX < (x2 - SCREEN_BUFFER_X)))
                if ((posY > y1) && (posY < (y2 - SCREEN_BUFFER_Y)))
                    return true;
            // Top right corner.
            int rightCornerX = posX + width;
            if ((rightCornerX > (x1 + SCREEN_BUFFER_X)) && (rightCornerX < x2))
                if ((posY > y1) && (posY < (y2 - SCREEN_BUFFER_Y)))
                    return true;
        return false;
    }It works in all cases I require...
Cheers, Boomah.

Resolutions different on two monitor on same system

Hey there, has anyone experienced this unlogical problem ?: i have two nec multisync monitors both 27inch connected VGA. the left menue monitor is set to correct scale on 1920 x1200 looks great , but the right one only gives me resolution options that dont show the pic in right proportion and look very crappy. the closest is 1920x 1440 or 1600x 1200. both monitors are set on the same input resolution. this problem has gotten worse since i updated to 10.6.3 since there is no resolution that is right at all.. any ideas to how to solve this mysterium are highly appreciated:)

DVI-I connectors contain a complete set of DVI signals AND a complete set of VGA signals.
Depending on which cable you use, the display can be seen as a DVI display and properly identified, as appears to be the case with the top display in your posting. That display is using the grid of pins over most of the connector, the DVI data.
The bottom display in your posting is connected with a VGA cable. It may plug onto the same connector, but is only carrying the VGA signals, and nothing more (its a cheap VGA cable). That display is using the bar at one end of the DVI-I connector, and the four pins around it , plus one more pin (Horizontal Sync) that is at the end of the grid. These are the Analog data pins on the diagram below.
If you were to buy another DVI cable, the second display could use the DVI portion of the signal, and be identified by name and allow setting of the proper resolutions.

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

Reset the NVRAM

Can't set resolution to match external LCD display.

Hi all.
I'm having trouble getting the screen to display on my 42" LCD without cutting off the right/left edges.
I've found two sets ways to try and fix this in the Nvidia control panel:
1-setting the ### x ### resolution doesn't help.
2-when setting up the external monitor all the resolution settings are grayed out.
Also, changing my format settings on the tv itself makes no difference.
I'm using an 9600M GT and got the same result before and after updating the drivers.
Anybody have any ideas?

What I would try is the binary nvidia drivers and use the nvidia-settings tool, it seems to work better for setting screen resolutions on Nvidia cards, in my experience. It lets me set resolutions that xrandr won't let me, like 1280x720 on my 4:3 monitor if I feel like it (I had good reasons to do it lol, and no, I didn't stretch it out, I had black bars on it). I have it set to output 1360x768 to my LCD TV and I set it through nvidia-settings (though that was the default on it, so maybe a slightly different situation, but similar).
After xrandr change KDE says that it is 1360x768, but on monitor's OSD I see 1280x768…
Well, one of those is right, one is wrong, find out which is which Sometimes on my TV, if I'm in something with a lot of black space (full screen video or something), and I switch inputs, my TV will sometimes say either 1280x768 or even 1024x768, even though it's still in 1360x768). Maybe try taking a screenshot or something, and then an image viewer will tell you the real resolution of your screen.

Why can't I get the full resolution on my Ultrawide monitor when connected to my MBP?

I just purchased an LG Ultrawide 29" monitor to hook up to my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model). The full resolution should be 2560x1080. The only cable that came with the monitor was an HDMI to HDMI cable, so I used a miniDisplayport to HDMI cable that I had. The screen popped up on the monitor, but it was stretched out, and there was a message saying it wasn't configured to the full resolution (and that I need to change it in the Display settings). The problem is there's no option in the Display settings for anything larger than the 1920x1080 standard resolution for this monitor.
I checked the manual that came with the monitor and it mentions that using an HDMI cable with a mac won't allow me to use the full resolution (or sound for that matter). It says instead I need to use a DVI-D dual link cable to get the monitor to work properly with a mac. Only problem is, this particular monitor doesn't have a DVI port on it (I think the manual was referring to a similar but possibly older version that had HDMI, Displayport and DVI ports on it). This one only has two HDMI ports and one Displayport port on it. I browse around online for people that had a similar problem, and I see a comment saying I just need to get a miniDisplayport to Displayport cable and then everything will work fine. I finally bought said cable (which a lot of places apparently don't carry), plugged everything in, and still no dice. The only resolution options for the monitor are still 1920x1080 and less.
Is this a problem with my Macbook? From everything I've looked up, my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) should support it, and it says right on the packaging for the Displayport cable that it should support up to a 2560x1440 resolution.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

If I run a second monitor from an iMac, will I be able to achieve a resolution of 1928x1080 which is the max resolution of my second monitor?

I am changing to an iMac later this year. At the moment I run a Sony Vaio all-in-one and use a second monitor with it. Although the resolution of the second monitor is 1928x1080, I can only get it to work at a max of 1680x1050 so it's a bit fuzzy.
My question is, when using an iMac, will it be able to support the additional monitor at its max 1928x1080?
Thanks

You are only limited by what the maximum resolution is on the external display. Look at it's specifications, then when you have connected it to your iMac look at System Preferences - Diplays - Display tab and choose the resolution on the external display.
BTW please complete your profile. It's difficult to assist you without knowing anything about your iMac. Much like asking Sally Ormond for financial advice and not telling her anything about your financial situation.

How to get full resolution on Samsung E2420L monitor?

I bought a Samsung E2420L external monitor for my MacBook Pro. The box says 1920 x 1080, however I can't seem to get the Mac to push more than 1600 x 900. Samsung doesn't list any Mac drivers, how can I get the full resolution?
Thanks!

Use extended mode rather than mirrored mode in your display settings on your computer. Uncheck mirrored". Mirrored mode mirrors your computer display, including the resolution, to the external monitor. Extended mode lets you use the external monitor's native resolution.

I'm using a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a powermac 7100/66. The only resolution available in the monitor control panel is 640x480. The viewsonic gives me a message to use 1440x900. The mac specs state it's capable of 1152x870 @ 8 bit. Help!

I'm using a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a powermac 7100/66 running Mac OS 7.6.1. The only resolution available in the monitor control panel is 640x480. The viewsonic gives me a message to use 1440x900. The mac specs state it's capable of 1152x870 @ 8 bit. How can I get a higher resolution?

For unsupported resolutions, one may need to see if there are any software
solutions; maybe the minimum specs of the display are not met by an 8-bit
color specification of the video card in the computer.
Does the display support two kinds of connections, another one, plus VGA?
Could be the display needs some other support for it to work. Drivers?
VRAM? A different control panel and (third-party) software?
The limits may vary due to the VRAM on the card. With enough there, and
with a VGA connection (or supported converter to/from older Mac DB-15)
and the video graphics card with minimal supported specs will show that.
Been several years since I've run any PowerMac, & only used a variety of
Apple CRT color displays with them. Most times, they were very adequate.
A wider array of original choices appeared in the Displays control panel...
So I suspect the lack of video support in the graphics card or VRAM, to be
a player in this resolution limit you see in the control panel. A later CPU/GPU
and better hardware, later Mac OS, offered greater support for newer driver
along with better results.
There may not be a workable upgrade to a different graphic video card for
that old a vintage computer; or if there was one, to locate that now may be
a next-to-impossible mission. Was there any hints in the web site for older
Macs, the LowEndMac site, or others? Some are no longer current sites.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Setting resolution on External Monitor

I have a Macbook Pro (from 2008) and a 25.5" Samsung T260HD which has a native resolution of 1920x1200.
I need to mirror the displays or at least have all icons and such on the external display. When I mirror them, I cannot get the external monitor to use it's native resolution. instead it uses a lesser setting.
Only when I have them set to display side by side does it use 1920x1200, but then I have to go back and forth which doesn't work for my purposes.
Thanks for advice!

when you do a mirror, you are asking for a 1:1 replication of your laptop screen. so, it's not feasable to have 2 different resolutions in mirror mode. it will only do whatever your laptop is set to.
the only MBP that will push 1920x1200 in mirror mode is a 17" HD or unibody 17". you will have to run in clamshell mode or in extended desktop to utilized the native res of the display.

Monitor rotated 90 degrees: Can no longer set resolution?

I have a Mac Mini (mid-2011 version; server hardware edition) that I just upgraded to Mavericks from 10.8. The mini has two monitors attached: an HP ZR30w via mini DisplayPort (plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the Mac) in a portrait configuration, and an HP ZR24w in landscape connected via HDMI.
Upon rebooting after the upgraded completed, I noticed that the resolution on the ZR30w was unusually low. Playing around with System Preferences, I found that if I configured the monitor's rotation settings to anything not "Standard", I could only set the resolution to 800x1280 or 1024x768. If I reconfigure rotation to "Standard" then I can use the monitor's full resolution of 2560x1600: it's just that the displayed image is sideways, since the monitor is physically in a portrait configuration but the Mac really wants it to be in Landscape mode.
Any ideas how to fix this?

In System Preferences > Displays, hold the OPTION button when clicking on the Scaled radio button.
More resolution options will be displayed, See if you required resolution becomes avaliable.
