Sony KDL32W4000 - missing bits on overscan; blurry; refresh rate

I've connected the mini to the TV (which is a full 1920x1080 HD set) - using mini-DVI to DVI-D to HDMI.
When in overscan I'm missing the edges of the screen - the menu bar at the top is outside the physical border of the screen but is usable (ie I can use the mouse in the border of the screen but can't see either the mouse or the top line of the menu). When it's not in overscan I'm using about three quarters of the screen.
Is there a way to make it fit the screen within the physical borders of the set (ie using overscan but keeping the borders of the screen within the physical boundaries of the set - or turning overscan off but expanding the screen out to the boundaries of the set).
It is, I think, a 100hz set but in display options I'm only seeing 60hz - is there a way to increase the refresh rate when used by the mini?
The screen fonts are also a bit blurry - any tips on who to improve visual acuity?
I haven't upgraded to 10.5.7 at this stage due to the problems people have been having with it - will do so once I do a time machine backup of the current setup.
Thanks.

Answering my own questions again - you get the full screen filled out to (but not past) the borders of the set if you set the display area to full pixel rather than "normal" (press Home on the remote then navigate using XMB to settings) and then on the Mini set the Mini's display prefs to overscan. The full pixel setting only affects the TV when it is getting a signal from the pc and doesn't apply when it is used as a TV (so no need to reset it when you want to use the TV as a telly). The font still isn't amazing but this may be due to me sitting further back than I'm used to.

Missing bits

I've got missing bit from my '8.1.5ee + patch to 8.1.5.0.2 on my RedHat 6.0.
With everything installed off the CD and running!
Got no 'oratclsh' utility and can't get it to build from the .mk files!
Got no audio and video demos in interMedia and yet image demo 'imgdemo'is installed and works! (lost 'auddemo.sql', 'fplugins.sql', 'fpluginb.sql' etc)
Got no 'ordmm.zip' in my jlib's.
I know the manuals are sketchy but the Admin Reference for Intel-Linux mentions this lot!
Where can I get 'em or how do I build 'em?

RedHat rpms for apache don't give you all the stuff you nead and are ancient on 6.0!
So I had to ditch RedHat's and install the http://www.apache.org downloads.

Watch out for the chmod's to open up your .../ord/wed/logs directory or else you will get mwm-00067 when you start Apache.
Test using:- http://'host':'port'/intermedia/~test
where port in my case is 80.
Pity On line Administration can't be used in Apache!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
And any luck with web agent 8154 and 8.1.6 database in another machine? I you look in the intermedia forum I put all the details of my configuration, but I compile everything without a glitch but I only get "404 - Page not found" in Apache.
Maybe I have to a downgrade...

Judder using Mplayer... maybe force different resolution/refresh rate?

Hi!
(I posted this in the newbie section too, but this is maybe the most appropriate place??)
I've set up my computer as a media center using Freevo. As the main media player in Freevo I use Mplayer. The setup is working beautifully, but I'm getting some judder and it's a bit annoying. It's most noticable during bright, fast moving scenes.
So I've been trying to figure out how to remedy this, but it's harder than I thought. My setup is the following:
AMD 4200+ dual core, 2 gigs ram, Nvidia 7800GTX, 24" LCD and Pioneer LX508D plasma TV, and I'm using CoreAVC as decoder (amazing piece of software )
When I bought the 24" screen for my computer the sales guy (using windows) forced the resolution to 1920x1080. It looked a bit stretched, but if I could do this in Linux I'd avoid having parts of the picture missing on my TV. Now I have to use 1920x1200 resolution as main X session and since my TV is 1920x1080 parts of the desktop is out of view on my TV. This isn't too big of a deal though cause when playing movies they come out in 1920x1080. It'd be nice though to get the correct aspect ratio between my pc screen and my TV (I've been trying to use Twinview and clone, but it's impossible to use 1920x1200 on the 24" and 1920x1080 on the TV at the same time). I've tried to force my pc screen to use 1920x1080 (since it worked in windows it's supposed to be possible), but when I enable it through xorg.conf the screen goes blank. Using nvidia-settings doesn't give me the option of using 1920x1080 on the 24" at all.
So what I'm hoping to be able to do is to force the computer screen to use 1920x1080 and a refresh rate of 72Hz. This should eliminate alot of the judder and at the same time I won't have to use the "PC mode" on my TV (PC mode restrict the Hz to max 60Hz). Hopefully the TV will accept the 1920x1080 72Hz as any input and let me use the normal input (and then be able to use 72Hz... or 96Hz for that matter).
Anyone know how I might be able to do that? I'd really appreciate any help at all since this is the only thing that's not perfect with my setup.

Ok, I tried to change the xorg.conf file to 72Hz on the TV and it when black again. This is what the xorg.0.log shows:

I read somewhere that the TV is supposed to be able to show 1080p in 72Hz. But when I try that it goes blank. Maybe it has something to do with the monitor being 1920x1200 and the TV 1920x1080. The monitor won't accept 1920x1080 as resolution so I guess that can only be done in Windows...

T61P LCD Refresh Rate keeps resetting to 60 Hz - Also Brightness maxes out

I tried saving a power profile for the resolution, etc., but maybe I didn't know how to save it properly, so whenever just about anything significant happens to my T61P (logout, restart, change something about the video) it ends up reverting to 60 Hz and since I'm using a Philips 19" CRT second display, the 60 Hz refresh rate just doesn't cut it for my eyes.
Speaking of my eyes, the notebook display also reverts to max. brightness frequently, which is annoying.
Does someone know how I can get the rate to lock on 85 Hz and permanently retain the settings I put in for the power profile? I Just reinstalled the Thinkpad Power Manager but honestly I still need to reboot and see if it's better before I make too much of it here. Thanks!

OS 10.3.9 defaults to a refresh rate that is too high for my monitor.

Hello experts!
I bought a great little NOVA 15" LCD VGA monitor which I love since it has a TV tuner built-in. It is capable of 1024 * 768 @ 56 to 75 Hz. Unfortunately, from start-up Panther uses a default of 85 Hz whenever this monitor is the only one attached, and nothing gets displayed.
I can leave the Mac on and swap VGA out to my old Apple 15" Multi-scan and the desktop is there. Now that I can see what I'm doing, I can change the refresh rate from 85 Hz to 75 or 70 or 60 Hz. Still leaving the Mac on and switching the VGA output back to the NOVA LCD results in a normally displayed picture at any of the 3 lower refresh rates. But if I open Display Preferences and press the Detect Displays button, the desktop disappears and the NOVA monitor indicates "no signal." As you may have guessed, Panther is trying to give it 85 Hz again.
The monitor is DDC 1/2b compatible, and the ATI 9200 is DDC 2a/b compatible, so they should be sending the right info to each-other.
What I would like is for someone to tell me how to make the Finder change the Monitor settings to 1024 * 768 @ 70 Hz in a way that can be assigned to a Function key (say F5). That way, when the Mac has finished starting-up, I can just press F5, and even though the screen is blank the Finder will run a little program to change the monitor settings and, voila, I will have a working display.
I have looked into Apple Script, but it seems to have no control over this sort of function (unless I have missed something).
Many thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

Os10.3.9 crash-screen is now 'flickery'-looks like wrong refresh rate

I crashed Protools (typical in osx it seems). After a restart my screen (digital) looks all flickery - sort of like the messed up look you can get by selecting the wrong refresh rate or unsupported resolution.
1. It's not the monitor - I have 2 other os's installed (os9.2.2 and os10.4.7) which continue to work fine.
2. Tech Tool can find nothing wrong.
3. OS10.3 is my only choice for PT6.4.1 - my point: can't upgrade.
4. The display settings are as I last set them and yes I tried simply re-selecting the same options.
5. I'll speculate that the display driver got corrupted or something.
6. I've restarted several times and switched back and forth between os's with no change in my corrupt 10.3.9.
7. The Protools hardware tests OK and is still running in os9.
8. I haven't really tried running anything serious in the corrupt os10.3.9 so I don't know if there are any other clues.
Anyone seen this and know what to do?

Second monitor has a 50Hz refresh rate; my mac's lowest output is 60. What can I do?

I'm trying to get my 13" Late-2011 macbook pro to work with either of two second monitors so I can use logic more easily. One's a DELL thing with a screen res of 1280x1024 (though does work on some higher res') which I had working yesterday till I accidentally knocked the adaptor the slightest bit and now I can't make the second screen stay on for more than a few seconds whatever settings I try. Usually the monitor is on (ie not in power save mode) but just displaying nothing, and my mac behaves as if the second monitor is there.
The other one's a Toshiba 20WLT56B Tv with VGA input. The prob with this one is that it's refresh rate is 50Hz and the lowest option I have for my mac is 60Hz. Is there any way to allow me to output at 50Hz instead?

Application control methods to prevent jerky graph refresh rate

Hi all,
In the simplest terms, what I am trying to achieve is a VI with a button on. When the user presses the button, a subVI is executed which acquires some data which is displayed on 2 graphs. The first graph has cursors which can be moved by the user to define the limits of the data plotted on the second graph.
I created a VI that did the 2 graphs with the limits and they updated fine (see attached file Stiffness and Damping.vi). However, this was when loading some data from a text file (attached as LabTestData.txt).
When I replaced the loading bit with the DAQ subVI, when the user changed the cursors on the first graph, the range of data on the second graph remained unchanged (see attached file FIND SAD v1.vi).
I then changed the structure so the data acquisition was in a different loop to the analysis and this works to a certain extent, apart from the fact that the second graph has a very jerky refresh rate (see attached file FIND SAD.vi).
If someone has a suggestion on a better way to structure the VI to solve these problems then that would be a great help.
The second version also has the problem that the VI doesnt stop when the 'Back to main menu' button is pressed, and I can't figure out why this is.
Many thanks,
Ian

Setting refresh rate manuall in display options?

hi all,
I have recently received a Dell 1908WFP monitor, which runs at a native resolution of 1440x900x75hz.
When i connect it to my macbook pro using the mini-display-port-to-VGA-connector, this resolution is detected fine.
When connecting with the DVI connector, the resolution 1440x900 is setup properly, but the vertical refresh rate is set to 60hz. In display preferences the option for 75hz is greyed out.
Is there a way to force the refresh rate to 75hz?
thanks,
lennard

Hmm, I think I'm missing something here but I just looked at GraphicsDevice.java and as far as I can see it doesn't check for refresh rates.
     * Returns the current display mode of this
     * <code>GraphicsDevice</code>.
     * @return the current display mode of this graphics device.
     * @see #setDisplayMode(DisplayMode)

    public DisplayMode getDisplayMode() {
        GraphicsConfiguration gc = getDefaultConfiguration();
        Rectangle r = gc.getBounds();
        ColorModel cm = gc.getColorModel();
        return new DisplayMode(r.width, r.height, cm.getPixelSize(), 0);//REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN = 0; ??
     * Returns all display modes available for this
     * <code>GraphicsDevice</code>.
     * @return all of the display modes available for this graphics device.

        return new DisplayMode[] { getDisplayMode() };
    }Or have I read this wrong?

Setting refresh rate with DisplayMode

I'm having a problems setting the refresh rate of the DisplayMode, originally I used this method to create a display mode:
DisplayMode(320, 240, 16, DisplayMode.REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN);This worked fine and ran my game at the above resolution, however I want the refresh rate to be 60hz so I tried this:
DisplayMode(320, 240, 60);The game ran, but the resolution did not change and the game played in a little 320, 240, box in the top left corner of the screen leaving the rest of the screen white. This is the same problem I have when ever I try the GAGE shooter demo.
Am I setting up the DisplayMode right, or is this a known bug.
I've only tried this on my computer running winME and the SDK 1.4.2_01.
Thanks.

GeForce2 GTS refresh rate problem

I have a GeForce2 GTS (MSI Starforce 815) running on an IWill KK266 (KT133A chipset) and a Sony GDM-400PS monitor. My problem is that when I set the refresh rate to "optimal" it runs at 60hz. This is a problem because my eyes are really sensitive to the flicker. I can set the refresh manually to a higher static refresh rate, and I can then switch back to "optimal" and it will adjust properly to a higher refresh rate but upon reboot it converts back to 60hz (although setting still says optimal.) I have several other non MSI GeForce2 GTS cards and they don't have this problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
To help weed out the suggestions:
-running 350W Enermax PS, more then enough
-running Win98SE (don't tell me to switch operating systems please)
-Sony 400PS well within spec
-have run 3 sets of Detonator drivers currently 40.72 same problem with all
-I know I can set it to run at a static 75 or 85Hz but I prefer to have it adjust to the optimal setting for my usage.
Thanks for any help!

beavercleaver,
I always set the monitors at 85hz. It is a great frame rate that is really easy on the eyes.
Take Care,
Richard

What refresh rates does the Macbook Pro 2011 support? (Internal Display)

While I know you used to be able to change the refresh rate via General Settings, now you have to use an app or probably something terminal related.
Ignoring this, I just got a new 2011 MBP when my old one couldn't be fixed and after having the display/resolution upgraded I noticed that, when scrolling webpages, there is a bit of... I dunno, ghosting or something? Nothing that indicates there is a problem with the display or card, but it's something that could probably be fixed by a stronger refresh rate.
So my question is as the subject states. What is supported? I read 60 and 75 is typical for Apple, but I want confirmation. Remember, internal display, not external.
Thanks!

For some reason Displays no longer shows that information, so I don't know what it is. However, the last time I saw the information on a 2009 MBP it was 75.
I'd think there is a utility around that might provide the info like Display Maestro 1.1.7 or SwitchResX.

Flickering/Refresh rates RoboHTML 6.0

We just recently upgraded to RoboHTML 6.0. Now the Topics
Pane on the left-hand side of the screen refreshes constantly. This
constant flickering is enough to drive you batty. I looked at
refresh rates in the online help & the only thing I could find
had to do with Robosource Control which we do not have loaded.
One interesting thing that I just discovered is that the
project that is flickering is a very big project divided into 30
folders & hundreds of topics in each folder. I just opened a
much smaller project & it doesn't flicker at all. Makes me
wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the size of the
project.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this? I sometimes spend
all day inside that huge project & that flickering is awful!
Thanks!

Hi all
Cindys, you may wish to try closing RoboHelp, opening Windows
Explorer and clobbering the ProjectName.CPD file. Just rename it so
RoboHelp can't find it. Then restart RoboHelp HTML and open the
.XPJ file. The .CPD should rebuild automatically as a result and
may eliminate the flicker. But be forewarned that the flicker will
likely continue until the .CPD has been fully rebuilt.
As for checking that RoboHelp WYSIWYG is the default editor,
it normally is. The trick is often the other option that is often
missed. The setting that determines whether the editor is
auto-selected or if the default is used. Normally that one is
configured for auto-select. If so, it *COULD* cause a different
application to open, depending on what was used to initially create
the topic page.
Cheers... Rick
