T500 ATI Radeon issue with Alibre Designer 11.2

Note - I uploaded a video showing the symptom to Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTg3piX-H8I
I have a Thinkpad T500 the switchable graphics ATI Radeon 3450 for accelerated 3D/OpenGL support. I got this to be able to run CAD software. Unfortunately, there is a bug and Alibre Designer will not render reference lines when used with the ATI Radeon driver. This is not good, as reference lines are very much needed while drawing designs.  The problem goes away if I switch to the slower Intel Media graphics driver.
I have installed the very latest ATI drivers and Catalyst Control Center, per Lenovo (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7vd541ww.txt) -- the CCC currently shows:
Item Value
Driver Packaging Version 8.563.2.1-090401a-079160c-Lenovo
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 7.01.01.849
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MPCH INE/SYSTEM/ControlSe
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0630
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.8306
Catalyst® Control Center Version 2009.0401.1328.22301

 Well, with Alibre's help, we tried turning off the switchable graphics per:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70495#g5
After the first reboot, the hardware was recognized, but the ATI driver was not properly loaded; but after the second reboots, the ATI driver was installed correctly.  Then, Alibre worked correctly. 
It appears that the switchable graphics driver support is interfering with the proper operation of the underlying ATI driver.  I'm sad to lose switchable graphics support, but at least I can work!

  • Issue with Output designer and  Konica bizhub Pro 920 Driver:

    Hi, i would appreciate if someone could help me with the following issue:
    I have designed a document using Adobe Output Designer and need to print it on Konica printer which uses above driver. Konica is not included in Adobe Presentment Target List so i am trying to use a Generic Postscript L2 - (PSLEVEL2) presentment target. I want to make few changes to this driver to match it with destination printer settings. e.g Output Order should be Face Up, Input and Output Tray should be Auto, Print position should be Left etc etc. I have tried to edit ICS file but it's not making any sense to me as i dont's know the PCL. Could anyone familiar with a similar situation help?

  • Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

    Hi,
    I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.

    Environment:
    Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES4 V11.0.0.2013.0303.1.892433

    Thanks vNohria.
    I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue  and couldn't find any.
    P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

  • Java/ATI driver issue with Minecraft on ArchLinux 64-bit

    I am having an issue with Java on ArchLinux. I think it has something to do with my graphics drivers. I have an Alienware M17x R2. Here are my specs:
    Intel Core i7 940XM
    8GB 1333MHz RAM
    Dual ATI 5870M in CrossFireX
    ArchLinux 64-bit
    I am using the open source ATI drivers (xf86-video-ati) and everything (ex. desktop compositing) is significantly faster than when I was running catalyst. I get an error when I launch minecraft though. It happens when I launch in the web browser and the jar. I also downloaded the AUR package which is essentially the same as the jar file with a shell script in the bin folder. I have also tried both OpenJDK6 and Oracle JDK/JRE and it happens on both. I have also tried replacing the lwjgl jars and putting the 64 bit so files in /opt/java/lib and renaming them to resemble the 32-bit filenames. Here is the console output from minecraft:

    Has anyone had any luck with this? I just got a set of 5. speakers to go with my sb li've! 5. card on xp x64, and ran into the same problem... it works fine on 32-bit, but I got a 64-bit processor for a reason and hate the fact that I can't have my surround working just because I'm using a 64-bit operating system. It'd be nice if Creative would get their act together and do something about all of these problems I'm seeing on the forums...

  • ATI Radeon 9000 with a K7T Turbo2

    I have a K7T Turbo2 running AMD XP 2100+.  
    I had a Asus GeForce4 MX 440 with 8xAGP 64MB. Then swapped it out for a MS ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB.  I installed it, after the installation, it rebooted, then after the Windows XP Home Edition screen, it blacks out.  ;(  Can anybody tell me why?  I tried even the ATI driver too, and same thing.  My board handles the max of 4xAGP. Could that be it?  Either driver I use, I get the same result.  Can someone help me? ) Thanks.

    can you access XP in safe mode? It could be the refresh rate set itself too high.  Try going into the display control panel and setting it back to the minimum settings at 60hz, reboot, and it should be fine if that is the problem.

  • ATI Radeon Card with 2 DVI LCD Display

    At last, I made a big step forward by purchasing the new MP. I already have a 23" Apple Display and intend to buy another DVI display (non Apple). How do I connect both LCD screen to the ATI Radeon card? Do I need to purchase any adaptor?

    Hi SamsonSimon;
    Here are the specs on the ATI Radeon card;
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 includes two video ports: one Mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI port. This allows you to connect both the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display or another Mini DisplayPort-based display, and a DVI-based display such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. Display adapters are available to connect VGA displays.
    Since it says it has two ports, one Mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI port, it would seem you are going to need an adapter for the second LCD screen.

  • Installation issue with CS6 Design and Web Premium

    I purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium for school with a voucher from JourneyEd. I have downloaded (it took 13 hours not 1.5)and assume that it completed since I saw the files extracting in the download assistant. I always download to my desktop and install from there. I have two folders, CS6 Master Collection which is empty and CS6 Design and Web Premium which has three subfolders; Adobe CS6, Design and Web Premium and fonts. The first two have set-up file applications within them. There is no .exe file so I have run the set-up applications within these file folders. An installer appears and runs onscreen but nothing is installed. There are no error messages. I purchased this computer in June and it has more than enough space. I am using Windows 7. I really need this for school.

    If the current installation files you have downloaded are not working then please try downloading the trial of Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=designweb_premium.  You can then enter the serial number for your purchase during the installation process.

  • Security issues with Livecycle Designer

    In the past, I have been able to modify and change documents inside of Adobe Acrobat after creating the forms inside of LD. I've recently run into a problem where the security settings in Adobe Acrobat continue to advise that it is unable to make changes to the document, which prevent me from inserting or deleting pages. I was able to save documents into a .PDF format from LD without any issues before a week or so ago. I've searched high and low for an answer, but cannot determine why it would have suddenly changed
    I'm using Livecycle Designer ES2. I've modified the program in several different ways, but none of them allow me to change the security settings to allow Acrobat to perform the functions that it used to.
    Printing the document from LD into a PDF is not an option, as I still need others to have the ability to modify/add answers inside of the created forms.
    Thank you in advance!

    If your form has been saved as dynamic PDF you have a XDP file in a PDF shell.
    This kind of PDF (XFA form) is totally different to regular static PDF.
    Acrobat simply does not allow to modify dynamic PDFs because it can't.

  • Issue with script design

    HI expert can we design a box in sap-script where the vertical lines inside the box are not continious i.e discrete .

    Well actually that doesnt work on first hand.
    There is no way to tell the BAX statement to do such stuff.
    what you COULD do is: have a box with height 0, well you need some upper line, you could do this using &ULINE(xx)& as well.
    and have another on for bottom.
    Between manually print the signs that you wish to build the not continuous vertical thing.

  • Anybody running ATI Radeon 5770HD with an Original MacPro?

    Id be interest to how much success users are having running an Original MacPro 2006 (1,1) with the 5770HD graphics card... Im using one with mine, but occasionally get Kernel Crashes... however Im running FCPX & Motion 5 plus DVDSP4, Cinema Tools (and FCS3 made me install Qmaster even though I have it built in, in Compressor 4). Nothing else on my machine.

    Panics can be due to a number of issues. Drivers, hardware, heat even. Crashes are entirely different from a kernel panic.
    I'd be concerned with system maintenance and repair, and how well you cloned your system. Any crash or freeze can cause directory corruption requiring action and not just a Safe boot or restart to resolve.

    Check if your InfoProvider is in Active status. Also check if you can see data for that in LISTCUBE.

  • Issue with Query Designer

    Hi Guys,
    I am using 3.5 query designer.i have a requirement in a report.There is keyfigure structure developed which has key figures defined for eg Actual,target etc.This structure is is been restricted as whole by posting period ie 1,2,3 &4.so all the keyfigures will by defult display in posting periods ie 1,2,3 &4.I have a requirent to bring a new KF in the structure say forcast which has values for 1,2,3&4.Now i need another kef which compares only the target Posting period 4 value with all the posting period values of forcast.On which i will create an indicator.Could anyone help me in creating this new KF out of the structure so that it displaysonly the posting period 4 values of target.If i incude in the structure and restrict it with posting period 4,it comes up again with 4 coulmns for posting period which again makes it difficult to compare.
    thanks
    panchan

    Panchan,
    I am not so clear about your requirement.
    But what i understand from below question is
    You have created some KPIs with YTD fiscal year period reqtriction. and used the Fiscal year period in drill down.
    Now you want to create 1 KPI with selected fiscal year period restriction, but you can see this column in all 4 fiscal year period.
    but you want to see that in only 4th(selected) fiscal year period.
    am i right?
    if yes then use zero suppression with rows and column, as new KPI contains value in only 4th period, other 3 period will be suppressed by above setting.
    Regards,
    Ashish

  • [SOLVED] X11: Fonts issue with HDL Designer

    Hi,
    Yesterday I installed HDL Designer for my job. But I couldn't launch it successfully.
    After some environment variable checks, it give me this error message:
    Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'.
    The following character sets cannot be drawn with this font:
    ISO8859-1
    My locale is set on fr_CH-UTF-8 and the application set LC_ALL to C.
    And after some searchs, I found two non-working solutions:
    A pretty old:
    http://www.edaboard.com/thread1456.html
    I tried to create the old X11R6 directory and then do some symbolic links with no success.
    A recent one with the right applications version:
    http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/solve … er-2013-1/
    I haven't found any equivalent package for "xfonts-75" in the official repositories nor in aur.
    So maybe I missed something like symbolics link 'cause I don't have the sames directories.
    Any idea?
    Thank you.
    [EDIT] Problem solved. I found the missing fonts package (xorg-fonts-75dpi).
