[Solved] Intel full screen scaling in KDE

I can't seem to change the full screen scale on my intel onboard card with KDE. The instruction on the Intel Arch Wiki only works in Gnome.
Edit: The second command in the wiki page works!

That's because dragonplayer scales the video to your screen's native resolution. This option matters when you're running something with a lower resolution that the screen's native. Though I don't see why KDE vs. Gnome vs. anything would matter here. Unless KDE is being stubborn and is overriding what you set on the commandline. For me that would be one further reason to move away from KDE.

[kinda solved] Intel HD4000 screen corruption

Kernel 3.3.8 and results in screen corruptions right after "udev" finishind events. The system freezes and that's it.
Kernel LTS kind of works, but I get minor glitches when running gnome-shell (guess - 3.0.x has no Ivy Bridge support).
I did already try to recreate the initramfs via
mkinitcipio -p linux
(3.3.8, not lts) with the modules
i915
aswell as
intel_agp
(/etc/mkinitcpio.conf) specified, but neither did change anything.
Additional kernel-params
i915.modeset=1 i915.semaphores
do not change anything.
Booting with
nomodeset=1
kind of works, but I can not start a X session due to KMS/modesetting being required for the driver.
I also played around with BIOS settings enabling and disabling RC6 and render idle modes in the BIOS do have no effect either (I did not enforce/disable RC6 via kernel-options yet).
Any help is appreciated
Thanks a million

Flickering Screen and Lack of Full Screen Support, Flickering Screen and Lack of Full Screen Support

Hi,
I ran into a few things related to using my Bootcamp MacBook Pro 15” 2011 that I purchased 2012Mar. Having issues on the Mac side, with an external monitor. I bought a ViewSonic VX2753mh LED monitor, hooked it up to my laptop, started in Mac OS and seemed to be going good, able to get 1080p, 1920x1080 res on the monitor even though the 2011 MacBook doesn’t have that resolution on the actual attached screen. BUT, the Viewsonic started to intermittently turn off and back on, in addition when I tried to play a movie (or even a slideshow) in full screen (not mirrored), so that I could surf and watch the movie or slideshow, the full screen version of either would be placed back on my laptop screen while the external monitor had a generic grey with vertical lines screensaver pop up, or vica versa. If I played the movie in a small screen it was ok. Have heard a lot of issues with “flickering”. As for the application situation, maybe that’s something I don’t know about yet since I’m new to Mac. Can I play something like slideshow or a movie in full screen on an external monitor while I surf or type on the laptop monitor? Any ideas on either issue?
Thanks in advance !!!

Ok, so I solved my full screen problem with VLC, both slideshows of my pics running full screen on external moniter while I work on laptop, and with movies, still getting my external monitor flickering on and off, other threads stop around May, is there anything new ?

[SOLVED] Compositing causes screen to freeze in KDE 4.7 with Nouveau

Hello,
since the upgrade to KDE 4.7 screen gets [partial] freezes for several seconds (differs) especialy when some repainting is to be done (scrolling in Rekonq/KWrite, opening and closing tabs in Rekonq, playing video in KDE). Usually I can stil see moving the mouse, though the cursor doesn't change on links etc. Also repainting of plasma widgets freezes.
I'm using nouvea driver for 7600 GS video card:
multilib/lib32-nouveau-dri 7.11-1
extra/nouveau-dri 7.11-1
extra/nouveau-firmware 20091212-4
extra/xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20110726-1
And get foloving in dmesg after a freeze:
[43244.176746] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:00.0: vm flush timeout: 0x00000022
and in xorg.log:
[ 43235.667] [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
Everything is ok with disabled compositing, or with nvidia driver, thogh I do not prefer to use it since it lacks KMS and is proprietary.
Any idea which splendid new feature of KDE 4.7 causes this? And how to turn it off so I can use compositing again? I tried diasbling new GL 2.0 shaders and setting worser filter in advanced Plasma settings but it didn't help.
I'll happily provide more info, if I am pointed which one.
Thank you.

3-D is currently an unsupported use-at-your-own-risk feature in nouveau. That leads me to conclude that neither project (kwin or nouveau) can be blamed at the moment.
I had irrecoverable freezes (had to ssh in and reboot) on my 9800 GT while playing videos fullscreen. Turning off the option to disable 3-D for full screen applications solved that problem for me. Compared to that, I'm okay with the temporary one-second freezes (which I see as well).
Your best bet is to play around and isolate which effects cause the issues for you. Start with no desktop effects checked and work your way up, adding one effect at a time. Maybe you'll discover the culprit that way. Hope that helps.

[Solved]Kwin doesn't restore Suspend desktop effects for full screen

Hi! I am using latest Kwin with Plasma 5 on my Arch and I have noticed that I have to check "Suspend desktop effects for full screen windows" in Desktop Effects>Advanced every time I log in.
What's wrong with Kwin?
Solved: Kwin 5.2 is under development now so currently this functionality is not availible.

It saves the state for my NVIDIA blob but does not for Intel laptop. It also warns that not every setup is able to redirect, so maybe he thinks our cards are unsupported and unchecks it?

I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook. I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen. How do I do this?

I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook. I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen. How do I do this?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?

No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

Constant minimization and can't get the full screen --Intel Imac 17"

I am obiviously a newbie. the windows constantly minimize with no apparent cause. How can I stop this and get some work done? Is it the mighty mouse, expose? I have tried them all
The display only shows on 3/4 of the screen--how can I get a full screen view.

Hi San Saba Kid,
When you say minimize, are describing something like on a PC or when it minimizes do you see the page in dock?
If you look at the lower right hand corner of an open window, you'll see a tirangular shape, you can click on this triangle and drag the window to a new size. You can fill up your entire screen by positioning your window and then dragging the corner to size it.
I think this is what you meant... Rick
BTW - the red dot closes - the yellow minimizes - the green optimizes the window so no horizontal scrolling is needed

Firefox 4, installed, It was opening Yahoo Contact List full screen, vice "window". Removed 4 and restalled 3.6 to solve problem.

Used 4 about six weeks and twice it opened the address book on Yahoo in full screen instead of "window" style. The first time it all of sudden opened to full screen. About three days later it by it self returned to window by itself. three weeks later it restarted again with full screen. ran this way for six days. I reloaded 3.6 and have not had a problem since. I did run Yahoo on IE and Google Chrome with no problem.

I have this same problem. Firefox 4 on 10.6.7 on a 2009 unibody Macbook Pro.
I've noticed that I only have the problem when I'm using multiple monitors and my Firefox 4 window is to the left of the Mac OS X Menu Bar.
My typical arrangement is: laptop monitor with firefox 4 window TO THE LEFT OF external Dell 24 inch monitor with Mac OS X Menu bar.
Moving my Firefox 4 window to the external monitor allows me to open a window.

[SOLVED] Full Screen Windows All The Time?

I am currently using Arch+Evilwm on both my desktop and netbook, and generally I am very happy with Evilwm, but on the netbook I find myself making windows full screen all the time (to maximize screen space). Does anyone know if Evilwm can be altered to make all windows full screen all of the time?

Full-screen (spacebar) preview quality testing

[For background story, please read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056763 but be warned, it's very l-o-n-g!]
In brief: some people have noted that Bridge full-screen (spacebar) previews (FSPs) don't accurately reflect the sharpness of a photograph. Sometimes this can be explained by individual configuration problems, but it's clear that this is a common issue amongst people using Bridge to assess/score photograph sharpness, without having to build/examine 100% previews for every image.
[It's worth noting that one common reason why FSPs aren't very sharp is because the Bridge advanced preference "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" hasn't been ticked, as this produces a higher resolution image cache. Another cause of very fuzzy previews is random and unexplained, but can usually be solved by restarting Bridge and/or clearing the cache for the selection.]
This discussion concerns the lack of sharpness seen only in FSPs. It can be described as "a subtle but significant loss of detail and sharpness, similar to a slightly out of focus photograph"; imagine a photo with a little bit of blur filter, or a Photoshop PSD at a non-standard zoom setting. This "softening" of the image is caused by Bridge asking the graphics processor to resize the image cache to fit the display. If you select the Bridge advanced preference "Use Software Rendering", you can improve a poor FSP slightly, at the expense of speed, by bypassing the graphics processor.
The test
Visit this web page and download the last image ("2362x3543 pixel, 4.5 Mb") to your computer.
Browse to this image in Bridge, and view it full-screen by pressing Spacebar. Take a screen capture, and save it as a TIFF or PSD.
Adjust your slideshow settings (Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L), picking "Scaled to Fill", then click on "Play". Save the screen capture, as above.
You now have two screen captures: one FSP, and one cache JPEG reference shot. Examine them side by side at 100%, or layer them in Photoshop and use the hide layer button to flick between images. Pay particular attention to the two left-hand photos, the sharpness check text, and the converging lines.
Make a note of your computer's operating system, graphics processor and driver version, as well as your largest display's pixel dimensions.
Post this information below, together with high quality (10) JPEGs of both screen captures, labelled FSP and REF, and any observations, so we can all see.

OK, it usually takes me a while to let the penny drop, especially when it comes to maths...
I also am busy with the transition of my new Mac pro but with al this here are my results. I include several screenshots but due to upload limit of 2 MB per image in here I downsized the original screenshots a lot, but hopefully it will be clear.
For full screen screenshots I have the asked FSP and REF but also the 100% preview in Bridge with space bar and click. Don't know what your file size is but using EOS 1Dx with 18 MP CR2 files (converted to DNG) it does take me about 1,5 - 2 seconds for both loupe and FSP to build a 100 % preview, and I seem to recall this was not very different behavior on my previous (6 year old) Mac Pro.
You are right (of course... :-) ) regarding the difference between FSP and REF, when studying closely there is a significant detail difference between the FSP and the REF. However, only the 100 % preview matches the original jpeg. The FSP file is on closer look not so good with details but the REF file is only slightly better, both are not correct and therefor the 100 % is still needed.
Here is the FSP screenshot:
and here the REF screenshot:
also the 100 % preview in full screen screenshot:
and finally a composed file with details from original, 100 % REF and FSP:
As said before, at first sight I can't spot significant difference between all options and the full screen (as the preview panel HQ preview) let's me spot the vast majority of unsharpness issues, hence my multiple rounds of sorting and incases of doubt the 100 % option.
So while your theory is correct I'm afraid I (still) doubt the usefulness of this all. If neither the FSP and the REF (although the latter does show a bit better result) can match the results of the original but the 100 % does it well I don't see an easy solution for improvement.
I agree with the quality from the screenshots Curt provided, but Curt also uses the embedded thumbnail instead of HQ preview option. Depending on his needs and hard ware availability it would be nice to see new results with the HQ and monitor sized previews options enabled.
regards
Omke

High quality only looks good when in full screen

I have a "15 MacBookPro using AE CC 2014.2..
So I typed some text within AE and dragged in a high resolution photo to make a simple video. My composition size was 1920x1080. But the photo and text always look weird, sorta pixelated, unless they are full screen. It's like the AE video can't handle being resized whether I'm watching it on quicktime or youtube, or even while working in AE. However the high res photo looks great at any size when I view just as a photo, using the Preview application.
This has happened before on other videos I've made but it really bothered me because it just ruins the photo on this one. if I make my video 720 it comes out not as noticeable but then if you try to watch the video full screen it gets blurry in the expected pixelated fashion, so that doesn't truly solve anything....I am just confused as to why after effects is not letting me make high quality videos that look good in a smaller video window (eg: the youtube video player if you don't click full screen)
below I attached a screen shot of what is happening. This particular screen shot is from when I uploaded it on youtube and watched it. But if I watch it in a small window using quicktime or even in AE, it looks the same...until you blow it up to full screen then it looks alright!
But I want people who just happen upon the video to be drawn into the photograph and bold text on screen not see some pixelated ****

Your thin outlines on the fonts are going to fall apart when you have the media player scaled down. Here's why. Say those thin lines are 2 pixels wide. Say the Media player is set to 600 pixels wide instead of 1920. Divide 600 by 1920 and you get .3125 (or 31.25%) Multiply 2 pixels by .3125 and you get .625 and since there is no such thing as a fraction of a pixel the media player is going to make it's best guess where those white pixels should be and adjust the color to approximate what six tenths of a pixel would look like. The result is poor quality.
You can improve the quality by first, not using very thin lines in your design, and second, not putting high value pixels (white, red, blue, green at 255 for example) next to black ones (0). Learning how pixels behave is as important to a motion graphics designer as learning how a brush responds to the canvas for a painter working with oils. Video is limited to whole pixel brushes so you need to learn how to paint with them.

Connecting laptop to monitor/TV and image is not full screen

I tried to connect my hp stream 11-d010ca to my monitor and my laptop via HDMI but could not get the image to appear "full screen". The picture is being duplicated fine but is only being shown in the centre of the screen and the image is not being stretching the entire screen. Basically there's the duplicated image of the laptop in the centre of the screen with large black unused space around the image on my secondary display.
Here's what is being shown on my Intel HD Control Panel. I am only getting the option to "Centre Image" and there is no option to "fit to scale" etc. The preview image in the link posted is similar to what I am experiencing with the unused black space.
