T400 Vista 64bit cant see second monitor in port replicator

I installed Vista Business 64bit on my machine that came with 32bit Vista. I was able to download all the drivers. Everything works except it will not see my second dislpay on the port replicator. It sees the VGA display but not the DVI one.
Although the ATI software installed , I cannot use the control center. It says Ati catalyst control center cannot be started becuase the current active GPU is not supported.
Tried calling support and they wont help me becuase the machine came with 32.
If I go in through thw windows display setup it doesn't see the second monitor. This all worked with it was 32 bit vista.
Anyone know of any way around this without going back to Vista 32?

Cannot connect 2 external monitors via port replicator using Portege Z30-16U

Hi All
I need hell I just moved from a other laptop to the Portege Z30-16U, I have spent hours trying to connect my 2 external monitors to my Hi-Speed Port replicator III 120W but my laptop will only see one monitor.
I have been using 2 external monitors with my laptop for yrs as I do a lot or reading and I do not want to use only one and the laptop screen.
I have tried VGA cables and mix of a VGA and a HDMI but nothing is working.
Can anyone tell me how I can connect and view 2 external monitors with this laptop and port replicator, I cannot believe it is not possible it would make no sense that Toshiba would be so technilogically behind other laptop manufacturers.
Thanks
Liga

Hi
I am not familliar with the Portreplicator of Z30, but the general behaviour of the dual-displayconnector replicators is that 1 can be used.
Not 2 simultaneously.
I may be wrong and you should easily be able to check this - use only 1 at a time.
First one, then the other.
If both works when used alone, then my suspicion is right.
Hope this helps!

X300: External Monitors and port replicator

The X300 looks really good, but when not traveling I'd be using it with a 24" 1920x1200 monitor.
A couple questions I can't see to find answers for:
1) Is the X300 capable of driving that resolution for an external monitor?
2) Assuming a good answer to #1, it seems like the new USB-based docking station has an resolution of 1440x or 1400x. Can the replicator be used, but skip using the video out and, instead, just use the video out from the X300?
Using the port replicator may not make sense that way since I might as well just plug everything in manually, but wanted to ask.
Thanks in advance for any help/clarity around this.

ed, it's an obvious question with a not-so-obvious answer. the specs actually come from intel's published info on the X3100 integrated graphics. for whatever reason lenovo doesn't list their systems' output capabilities in easily-accessible documentation. not even the X300 topseller announcement letter mentions display output. i've never understood this as it would clear up many customers' questions and uncertainties.
this makes a thinkpad's ability to output high resolution is a perpetually-confusing topic. to help put things in perspective, it takes only 12MB of video memory to drive 2048x1536 @ 32-bit and only 9MB to drive 1920x1200 @ 32-bit. the X300 with its ability to use up to 384MB of shared system memory can easily drive two displays simultaneously within the VGA limitations on each port; 2048x1536 on-board and 1400x1050 via the port replicator.
update: fixed typo.

Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Cant see shared printers

Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.
ibook G4 1.33ghz 12, 1.42ghz 14 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1gig ram,

That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
thanks,

MSI Z68MA G45 G3 INTEL HD GRAPHICS DRIVER CANT SEE MY MONITOR

hello guys,
when i have setup the vga drivers i cant use my 19 inch samsung 971p monitor in 1280x1024 resolution.

Quote
1024 x 768 (?xxxxxx?) mean 'native'?
Trying to get this correctly translated. On all my Samsungs, it basically means the optimum (recommended) setting for the monitor. In this context, 1024 x 768 would be the optimum resolution setting for his monitor. Maybe monitor makers are getting like RAM makers, 'rated' 1600, but they may only work right at 1333 under a disclaimer umbrella.

Hi,
I am new to Archlinux, I moved from Ubuntu with Gnome couple of days ago. I set up my arch pretty successfully - I have an XFCE running, with all the software I had on Ubuntu (made me love pacman). I think my problem has an easy solving, but I didnt manage it myself so I am asking.
I put Arch on my sda (had it autoprepare) and I left sdb with no change (only photos and vids storage). But I cant just access (see) the sdb disk.
when I run fdsik -l I get

Tecra R840: Usage of 3 monitors with Port Replicator II

Hey All,
Just got an R840 with the corresponding port rep II, I have hooked up the digital and analogue monitors and was wondering if I could use all 3 displays (including the laptops display).
In the resloution section it shows all 3, but it will only allow 2, is there a setting that is needed to be changed or a different driver as when I extend the display to the 3rd display it says it can't save the action?
Thanks
Corey

Hi
According to the user manual you can use two external monitors simultaneously.
So you can use the monitor connected to VGA port as primary and the monitor connected to DVI port as secondary display.

As far as I know you can use 3 monitors in connection with a Toshiba Dynadock.

Cant see message in message monitoring

Hi everyone,
I am trying to implement File to JMS but i got stuckup with the monitoring.
My current status is :
File got picked and deleted .
I cant see message in SXMB_MONI for my interface.
In component monitoring- CC monitoring i can see message against my Comm channel as " Processing started successfull"
                " Process finised successfully"
               "Polling interval started length 10.0 seconds"
I believe msg says that my CC configuration is correct .
I have gone through the michal's weblog and I crosschecked entries in SXMB_ADM, and its is perfect.
What could be the reason of this error?
thanks,
Gaurav

One more thing i observed here :
In processing details i see the message for every minute, while doing my CC config i have made file mode as DELETE and file gets deletd from folder then why there is message for every minute ???

How do I get my Mac Pro to see the second monitor through a video splitter and/or switcher?

In a recording studio we have a Mac Pro with two video display monitors in the control room and we want to be able to show the content of the second monitor to the person in the recording room on a big display monitor there. However, when we interpose a switcher or splitter between the computer and the second monitor so that we can (with a switcher) switch the second monitor signal from the control room monitor to the record room monitor or (with a splitter) split the signal to go to both monitors, we have no luck. On startup the computer does not see the monitor through the switcher, so it doesn't recognize its existence. If we start the computer up without the switcher in the signal chain, it sees the second monitor just fine, and (weirdly enough) we can then change the cabling to interpose the switch, which then works to switch back and forth between second monitors (control room and record room), but that cable swapping's a royal PITA. We want a simple solution that will allow us to start up the computer, see the second monitor in the control room, then choose to show it to the person in the record room with a simple flip of the switch (or even better, split the signal so it's available both places). The splitter we've tried most recently is this one: http://tinyurl.com/curen39 I'd appreciate any advice from people who have tried this configuration or something similar with success. We have a full ProTools HD Accel 3 system installed, so there's no room to install a second video card. Thanks.

Thanks for the response! Yes, it's a 5x70 video card, a 5770 I believe. In any case, it does have the three ports, but (a not-well documented fact) that doesn't mean one can really get three full-resolution signals out of it at one time, as you alluded to in your message. So, yes, we did try hooking all three up directly to the computer, but the computer would only recognize two of those monitors, and the only way to get it to "de-recognize" the second monitor and recognize the third monitor was to physically disconnect the second monitor.
I did say when you want to connect three monitors to 5x70's there are some rules to adhere to. These are covered in the first two apple docs mentioned above, or by title:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
The general gist of these rules is that to drive three monitor son a 5x70 you need two active adapters. That is why one of your monitors was disabled when you tried to add a third.
Here's a good explanation of what's going in here and why you need two active adapters on these cards:
Active vs. Passive Displayport adapters *the truth*
If you use DVI monitors and any of them have resolutions less than 1920 x 1200 then you can use single link active adapters. The "AMD Eyefinity Validated Dongles" chart shows some active (and passive) adapters that are acceptable. For example of a single link DVI active adapter is the Accell B087B-006B. An example of a dual link DVI active adapter would be the one from monoprice.com if you need to connect monitors with a resolution greater than 1920 x 1200.
I'm doubtful that SwitchResX would be able to convince the computer that there were only two monitors connected and direct the second monitor signal to the correct place, but it certainly seems worth a try, so thanks for the idea! Any other ideas are still welcome in the meantime.
I'm not doubtful. It is a very powerful utility for dealing with all aspects of multiple monitor configurations (they call them "Display Sets") complete with forcing EDID information if necessary. The different configurations can be controlled with a (contextual) menu and/or hot key.
SwitchResX is academic at this point if you want to have all three monitors connected. You would need to get that working first. Then use SwitchResX to vary the configuration combinations. So if you go this route the "name of the game" is figure out the active adapters you need.
I only described in general terms above about the adapters since you never said exactly what kind of connections these monitors require (single link DVI, dual link DVI, hdmi, mini-displayport, vga).

File Adapter picks up the file but cant see it in MONI/Message Monitoring

Hi
I am using FCC in Sender File Adapter and have only one sub structure under Recordset hence I have not used the 'Key Field Name' though ''Key Field Type' by default is 'String(Case-Sensitive)'. Besides the 'fieldNames' heading I have mentioned all the fields of the sub structure in the same order as I have mentioned in the Data Type.
The problem that I am facing is that even though the file is picked up from ftp successfully still I cant see any traces of it in either MONI or Message Monitoring though
The error that I receive in the MDT is -
Success : Entire file content converted to XML format
Warning : Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
Success : File "Test.csv" deleted after processing
and I have data in the file.
Can u suggest a solution?

BC 2.1 cant run on my vista 64bit, can anyone help?

Hi,
I did my installation of vista 64bit on my 2.4ghz macbook pro 15" (quite old model, about a year ago) and yes, i did download BC 2.1 and try to run on it.( i think most of the people cant use 2.0 for installing all of the driver.)
i saw someone was discussed on this forum about failed install for "Keyagent" and "MacHal" file.(sorry if i name it wrong.) I have a same problem as well, so i try to download BC 2.1 ( http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64 ). The problem for now is i cant run that file on my vista! Should i download BC 2.1 32bit and try it or something wrong??
Thanks for the help, Cheers

When you are running Vista, put your Leopard DVD in.
It should ask to run SETUP.exe and install Apple services, drivers, and Boot Camp, including Boot Camp control panel, Apple Software Update, Apple OS Switcher, Apple Time Services.
You will need to reboot.
And only then can you install and run BC64 2.1.
It can also be downloaded via the Apple Software Update control panel itself.
If your 10.5.0 DVD is not showing anything, it should open to /Bootcamp in Windows.
Call or check or buy 10.5.6. If it is OEM disc, some didn't have it.
If on the other hand you are using a program called MacDrive7 (commercial) it use to not work iwth 64-bit versions, and would prevent access to Apple DVD.

10.4.5 doesn't see my second monitor

I just upgraded to 10.4.3 and then immediately after that to 10.4.5. Since I did, my computer can't see my second monitor. I ran the system profiler and it sees the second video card.
This is not a problem in 9.2.2 and it wasn't a problem in 10.1.5. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!

It sounds like the firmware or drivers of the graphics card is out of date for 10.4 to understand there is a display connected to it or to give that option. Contact the graphics card vendor to see if there is more info you can get on either. Tell them the issue you are facing. Also check http://www.apple.com/swupdates/ if it was an Apple supplied graphics card as a build-to-order or part of the original release of that Mac model.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ has a good database of graphics cards you can choose from and their compatibility.

Second monitor very dim on Vista 32 Boot Camp 2.1

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card driving two Apple Cinema HD monitors (first is 23" and an older 24") and after installing BC 2.1 the second monitor becomes dim and the NVIDIA control panel can't be used to get a satisfactory setting nor does the brightness button at the front do anything. The 23" monitor is fine and the brightness buttons on the side can be used perfectly. When I run OS X I find the brightness has been turned down to the minimum setting on the 24" monitor- having changed it in display properties on OS X, it becomes dim again when Vista is started on BC (it remains bright during the startup process for Vista!). It seems this is a BC 2.1 issue as when I roll back to installation disk drivers the problem disappears. Any ideas?!?

Hi Stefan
Thanks for the suggestion. However, in the Boot Camp Control Panel with BC 2.1 I have two tabs (Startup Disk and Power). I seem to recall that under a previous version there was a Brightness tab. This may be a problem with BC 2.1 installation- I can't seem to locate drivers install facility for BC 2.1, only Update to 2.1 seems to be available.... Kuldeep
