Vga configuration

I want to connect the VGA output of my laptop to a VCR/DVD recorder. I purchased an adapter that goes from VGA to S video or RCA video out. I am not geting a signal from either S video or RCA video. Adapter instructions say that my VGA output must be configured for Svideo. Is it possible to do that?

  • No DVI Output signal from PC

    Hi, recently i bought and HP P2-1394 model PC, first i was using it with a "normal" monitor, VGA PC input without problems, but last week i bought a new TV with HDMI input the problem is that i can;t configure it well,
    I'm using DVI-HDMI cable.
    First, i can't get video signal if the old monitor is not connected, once i get the signal, i disable the old monitor from vga configurations, after restart i can't get signal again. so i need to connect old monitor again and restart PC.
    I only want on my desk the new one, not both. Do you know how can i solve this.?

    Hi,
    Review this posted document for the HP p21394.
    The specifications for the HP p2-1394 do not indicate that the integrated video processor will support dual video outputs at the sametime.  This may well be a documentation oversight or dual monitors are not going work at the sametime.

  • Info panel problem in Adobe Illustrator

    Hi all,
    when openning the Info panel in adobe Illustrator it gives me question marks instead of numbers as shown in the image..in all cases and with all documents even when I use the measuring tool..
    I'm having this problem with Illustrator CS4 and continues wit CS5 also..
    the Info panel in photoshop works fine..
    I tried to change the system locale for the non-unicode programs but no changes..
    tried to search for a solution here and on google..found nothing about it
    I would be so thankful for any ideas that can help me solve this problem
    Thanks in advance

    Mr.Mylenium
    Tried it on another computer..I was Running it on my Dell notebook and tried it on a desktop which has an ATI graphics card and the VGA configuration says there's no secondary display...Unfortunately I'm having the same problem
    By the way I'm using the Middle East version of Illustrator...can this be the cause of this problem??
    Is there a file responsible for the Info Panel in Illustrator files??
    forgot to mention that I'm using Illustrator CS4 and CS5 Middle East version running on Windows 7 Ultimate
    Thanks for your care all, I appreciate it so much

  • X58 sata III

    looking for a x58 board with sataIII that is not a marvel controller.
    or can someone recommend a sataIII pcie addon card?

    Depending on your VGA configuration, it can affect the available PCI-E lanes for an add-in SATA III card in the 16X slots. If the add-in card will work in a 1X black slot, then it is not so much of an issue. All the X58 boards are configured with the SATA III Marvell controllers. Some of the newer released boards have updated Marvell controllers than my BB X's have. I personally have no problems with the Marvell, but I use nothing but SATA III WD 'spinners'.

  • How do you configure a newer Mac mini to use a VGA adapter?

    I don't know what could be wrong the computer was fine with DVI but my tv isn't hdcp compliant and won't play rentals or netflix over dvi, so I need to use VGA adapter. My Panasonic display is set to rgb mode, but I tried all modes. Already tried rebooting. Any advanced settings for changing the Mac mini output to rgb? Any other ideas on why no picture at all?

    Thanks tried that already-gonna try on a newer monitor. Probably time to let go of my old time plasma display but it's hard-still looks great and it cost 4 grand but I could get something comparable for 6-8 hundred now

  • Configuring three monitors with USB to VGA

    Basically I am having a weird issue that I believe is Leopard causing it. I have two monitors connected by DVI and my third one will be connected by those USB to VGA unit. In my Mac Pro mac os x the unit will not display anything on the screen (used stable and beta drivers) so I tested it in bootcamp windows xp. The unit worked fine once I installed the drivers. Then I tested the USB to VGA unit on my mac book to the monitor in Leopard and the unit worked fine. So basically there is something in my Mac pro OS X Leopard that will not let the third monitor display.
    Is there any advice how to solve this issue?

    Your Mac came with a DVI to VGA adapter. Why do you need a USB one, when the DVI one is faster and more reliable?
    Note the specs:

    If yours was missing the adapter which is shown "In the box", call AppleCare to ask a replacement be sent.

  • S3 trio 3D/2X VGA card configuration

    Dear,
    I have installed Solaris 8 for Intel on my PIII system. It has an S3 Trio 3D/2X 4MB VGA card installed in it. There is no such VGA card option given in the list while I run kdmconfig. My Monitor is Compaq V500, Which VGA I should choose from the list and which resolution level I should set inorder to get true graphics while solaris is running with Xserver. Right now, I am using standard VGA from the list. xserver runs but the graphics are very poor and dull.
    Kindly advice.
    regards,
    Imran

    Well unless it's in Sun's HAL compatibility list you are out of luck. Try applying Sun's latest Intel patches for it. Otherwise you may want to try www.xig.com and see if they have a video driver for you.

  • Mini dvi to vga adapter doesn't fit Mac Book port

    I bought a "mini dvi to vga" adapter at the local Apple store at the mall and it does not fit the mini DVI connection on my Mac Book. What is the correct mini dvi configuration or part number for the Mac Book Mini dvi port?

    It may be. I threw the bag out so I can't check. I was in a hurry and thought I picked up the right adapter but guess not.
    Thanks for your help. Know anyone that needs a mini vga to vga adapter?

  • Thunderbolt display: devices not discovered after using Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter

    I have an interested problem related to using my MacBook Air in clamshell (closed) mode, connected to a Thunderbolt display. The problem appears to be related to moving my MacBook air between my office and my home.
    At the office, I use the MacBook Air with an external VGA display, connected via the Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter. At home, I use the MacBook Air together with a Thunderbolt display. An Apple USB keyboard is also connected to the display.
    Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter implicated
    The following sequence of events causes the problem to occur:
    Use the MacBook air (open) together with a VGA display, connected via a Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter (depicted at right);
    Put the MacBook Air to sleep by closing the lid, and disconnect the Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter (I am not sure if the order of these two steps is significant—I usually perform them almost simultaneously when packing up my MacBook Air and getting ready to leave the office); and
    With the MacBook Air still closed, connect it to a Thunderbolt display with a connected USB keyboard.
    At this point, I would expect to be able to wake up the MacBook Air by tapping on the space bar of the keyboard. However, what I have observed is that this does not wake the MacBook Air.
    I can wake the MacBook however by moving or clicking a Bluetooth mouse that is paired with the MacBook Air.
    At this point, although the MacBook Air is awake, and the display is working, the USB keyboard connected to the display still does not work. This is the problem, in a nutshell.
    Unplugging the USB keyboard from the display, and plugging it back in causes the MacBook Air properly to identify the keyboard.
    I used Apple System Profiler to save a list of identified devices at two points in time:
    Immediately after waking the MacBook Air by moving the Bluetooth mouse (at which point the USB keyboard was not working); and
    After unplugging and plugging in again the USB keyboard (at which point the USB keyboard worked fine).
    Many devices are enumerated in the second list that are missing from the first. For example:
    Keyboard Hub@fe110000  <class IOUSBHubDevice, id 0x1000378ef, !registered, !matched, inactive, busy 3 (37993 ms), retain 6>
    AppleUSBHub  <class AppleUSBHub, id 0x1000378f2, !registered, !matched, inactive, busy 1 (37987 ms), retain 6>
    IOUSBInterface@0  <class IOUSBInterface, id 0x1000378f4, !registered, !matched, inactive, busy 1 (37986 ms), retain 6>
    Keyboard Hub@fe110000  <class IOUSBHubDevice, id 0x1000378f6, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (7 ms), retain 10>
    AppleUSBHub  <class AppleUSBHub, id 0x1000378f9, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (1 ms), retain 9>
    IOUSBInterface@0  <class IOUSBInterface, id 0x1000378fb, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain 7>
    Apple Keyboard@fe112000  <class IOUSBDevice, id 0x1000378fd, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (112 ms), retain 11>
    and many child devices…
    Using the Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter appears to be a necessary step to causing this problem to occur. If I merely disconnect the MacBook Air from the display, let it go to sleep, and then reconnect it again, the USB keyboard will work immediately and can be used to wake the computer from sleep.
    Some devices are discovered even when the computer is in sleep mode. This is how it should work.
    The problem appears to be that when a Mini DisplayPort–to–VGA adapter has been used since the last time the computer was connected to a Thunderbolt display, the MacBook air does not discover devices completely when it is again connected to the Thunderbolt display while in sleep mode.
    Can anyone else reproduce this problem?

    Hi glraczon.support,
    It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.

  • Is KVM VGA Passthrough Possible on Macbook Pro Mid 2014?

    I've been using Arch on and off for a couple years on different hardware, and this time I'm trying to get it to work semi-flawlessly on my mid 2014 Macbook Pro. My Linux skills are meager, so I need some help understanding if VGA passthrough is possible on this machine, and if it is, how to set it up. I have hope that it might work after reading this blog and the Arch forums. An outline of my current setup follows. I will also document progress and research for anyone who might want to try this in the future.
    Here are the specifications for this machine:
    Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB, Nvidia GT 750M 2 GB
    I have successfully dual-booted Mac OS X Yosemite and Arch with EFI on a btrfs partition using this blog and the wiki as starting points. Somlo's research also helped. All the basic functionality works (networking, WiFi, etc.), and I am able to boot the physical Arch partition as a Virtualbox VM with the help of the wiki. However, I'm having trouble with getting the integrated Intel graphics to work. The following command:
    lspci | grep VGA
    prints the Nvidia card specifications, and nothing about the Intel graphics.
    Reading this blog, it looks like someone had to apply a "grub gmux" patch to grub to disable the Nvidia card at boot. I feel uncomfortable installing anything other than the official Arch packages, so I have to know if installing a patched grub is still necessary, and if installing it would still allow me to use VGA passthrough in KVM.
    My ambitious to-do list looks like this:
    1. Dual-boot Mac OS X and Arch with btrfs. -done
    2. Setup the physical Arch partition to boot in Virtualbox. -done
    3. Get Intel graphics to work on Arch ideally with OpenGL support. -done
    4. Get Enlightenment working as the desktop environment on Arch. -done
    5. Get Qemu+KVM to boot off the physical Mac OS X partition. -tbd
    6. Enable VGA passthrough for Mac OS X from Qemu+KVM. -tbd
    7. Install Windows as a VM in Qemu+KVM. -tbd
    8. Enable VGA passthrough for Windows from Qemu+KVM. -tbd
    9. Work and do research on Mac OS X from Arch, play hardcore 3D games on WIndows from Arch, play around with Arch, and live happily ever after. -tbd
    Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance for any hints/input.
    Edit:
    The Ubuntu forums has something about getting the two graphics cards to be recognised by using `refind` instead of `grub`. I was able to set up `refind` to boot using the `efi-stub`, but:

    Also, I was able to fire up Enlightenment using the Intel graphics card and `0xbb`'s `gpu-switch` script. After using some post-installation tips from this, the computer started getting hot. I followed this thread to get it back to normal.
    Edit:
    So I finally got some time to experiment on this. I ended up installing Gnome 3 after trying out Enlightenment, KDE Plasma 5, and Cinnamon. I thought Gnome 3 and Cinnamon had the best Hi-DPI support of those four. Cinnamon's look was too much trouble for me to configure, so I ended up choosing Gnome 3.
    To achieve the graphics card passthrough, I tried setting up and starting a VM in `virt-manager`, but starting the VM would cause Arch to freeze. Finally, I tried following the instructions on the wiki, this thread, and the Arch forums. I haven't yet tried booting the Windows installer, but the following are the steps I took so far:
    1. Uninstall all `nvidia` drivers from my system.
    2. Blacklist the `nouveau` driver.
    3. Add `pci-stub` to the modules array in `mkinitcpio.conf`.
    4. Recreate the `initramfs`.
    5. Add `intel_iommu=on pci-stub.ids=10de:0fe9,10de:0e1b,8086:156c` to the `refind.conf` `options` line.
    - These three IDs are ones for the Nvidia graphics, Nvidia sound, and the "Intel Corporation Device" (probably the HDMI port, or something related to the
    ethernet card), which belong to the same "IOMMU group". What was curious was that a Gigabit ethernet controller would appear in the IOMMU group iff I had
    an ethernet cable connected to my thunderbolt port. I don't know if I have to add the ID for this, but so far there are no complaints about it in `dmesg`.
    6. Install `ovmf-svn` from the AUR.
    6. Follow the "Binding a device to vfio-pci" section documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768.
    7. Follow the "Testing if its working out" section documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768.
    So far, the test at step 7 is failing -- I get a `vfio-pci 0000:01:00.0: Invalid ROM contents` complaint in `dmesg`, and I see a prompt in the `qemu` window. I'm supposed to be getting a black `qemu` window, and a prompt on an external monitor which I haven't connected yet. I read the comments on this blog about graphics card ROM and EFI compatibility, and it looks like my graphics card ROM can't be read. I also read that the graphics card ROM would only be read once by qemu/KVM and saved as a file for later use, so all I need to do to get around that is pass a snapshot of the ROM of the Nvidia GT 750M card to qemu/KVM. Apparently, "You can download the 750m rom files directly from Lenovo's website on the support page" according to this thread, but all I see is this. I will continue hunting around for a ROM file for this graphics card.

    It`s not beacuse of the case. I have the same problem with a macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 (I7 - 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB, 512 SSD, GT750M) with windows 8.1 on bootcamp. The temperature is higher than yosemite. It gets easily at 80 celsius in a demanding game, while on yosemite it barely reaches 55-60 under heavy load. It`s beacuse of windows, and these are the temperatures, I got the same average 55-60 in windows and 45 celsius in yosemite. I read on the forums and I tried evend with a cooler pad. But it doesn`t seem to be any improvement with lowering the temperature in windows.
