X fails to detect monitor supported resolutions

I have 3 monitors connected to a Radeon HD 7750, using the radeon driver:
Left: NEC MultiSync 90GX², 1280x1024, connected via DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor
Middle: Samsung SyncMaster BX2335, 1920x1080, connected via DVI
Right: LG Flatron Wide, 1680x1050, connected via HDMI
On every reboot (warm or cold), X fails to detect the NEC monitor's supported resolutions. xrandr will only set it to 1024x768 or less, and it shows "no signal". However if I disconnect the VGA cable, plug it into another monitor (which is broken, but still powers on), and run xrandr again, it lists up to 1280x1024. If I then set the correct modes and layouts, then return the VGA cable to the NEC monitor, it works just fine. Turning the display off via xset doesn't cause any issue either. So on every reboot I have to move the cable to a spare monitor, set up xrandr, then move the cable back.
How can I save this working configuration and force X to apply it on boot even though the monitor for some reason claims to not support it?
I didn't have this issue with Ubuntu, but my setup was a bit different there, so possibly it just didn't manifest.
Here is the Xorg.0.log and journalctl -k from the most recent boot. The get-edid output is also interesting (and contains some control characters which pastebin removed).

The NEC on DVI would be only temporarily to get it's real edid-data .
Once you got that in a file, you can use a special kernel parameter at boot to force use of the real edid-data for the NEC monitor.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … s_and_EDID describes how it could be done.
Note that configuring this is tricky.

ATI Radeon HD 5870 failing to detect displays randomly during reboots

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 1,1 A1186 computer, MAC OS X 10.6.6, and I just updated the ole 7300 video card to an ATI Radeon HD 5870 I just purchased from the Apple Store last week.
Problem: Mac OS X 10.6.6 keeps losing the display settings during reboots and fails to detect one of the monitors (the Acer X233H) randomly upon reboots. I tried using two Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapters, but when that produced undesirable results I just plugged one of the monitors into the DVI diplay port and used just one of the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters. Then I tried swapping the monitors around.
I know both monitors and cables that directly connect to the monitors work fine as *they worked on the 7300 adapter*. I'm not using an Apple display, so I'm wondering do I have a bad card or is this common?
I tried reseating the card, completely disconnecting it and reinstalling it. I have both power cables plugged into the card, and both monitors will come up eventually if I keep rebooting my system (if they didn't come up the first time).
Please help... this whole experience is ruining my buzz for purchasing such a kick butt OEM card from Apple. Thank you very much in advanced.
I have 14GB of RAM, 2TB Western Digital (for backup/archival purposes), and an SSD Patriot Torqx 128GB Drive. The Diagnostics state they passed, and everything else works fine except for the display detection.
Here is the setup of the monitors I'm using:

OK, I took your advise and tried the "active powered" adapter last night. No dice. The monitor detection still doesn't work even after purchasing the $100 adapter for only 2 displays. Connecting one of the monitors to the DVI display in the back and connecting the other display to the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.
_This is not the solution as the problem still occurs._
I also tried reloading Mac OS X Snow Leopard last night wiping out everything on the entire partition to be extreme thinking that the system could be confused. I know I could've just deleted the configuration file, but hey... what the heck.
After applying the updates I was able to see both displays again, +_however again they got confused_+.
The end result is from what I believe that the card is inferior in the way it doesn't allow Mac OS X to detect displays properly and or a driver update needs to be issued from Apple to address this issue.
After trying multiple things it would appear that there is only 1 work around as suggest from above (put the computer to sleep). However, to properly fix things we shouldn't have to utilize work arounds.
Important facts that lead me to this conclusion are:
1. Mac OS X 10.6.6 does detect displays properly with the 7300 with no problem.
2. The monitors and cables work properly with the 7300 card, and other systems. So they are not the issue.
3. After installing the ATI 5870 card that's when we I experienced the issues that didn't go away no matter what cable I used or where I plugged the monitors.
a. Thus a $100 cable or a $30 cable worked the same for this issue.
4. Reinstalling OS X 10.6.6 completely and wiping out everything including the display configuration had no bearing on any of this.
Therefore, it can only be two things by deduction:
1. The firmware of the card needs a revision to help support multiple displays.
and/or
2. The driver for the ATI 5870 needs a revision to correct multiple display support within the Operating System.
However, I can't see paying over $500 for a card and an adapter that doesn't work properly. If there is no hope that Apple or ATI is working on this issue with the ATI 5870 card, I have only one recourse and that is not to support this particular ATI product and take it back. I know I can always just keep putting my computer to sleep, but over $500 for a video card and an adapter that is riddled with bugs is way too much for me.
*I'm taking the card back and reinstalling the 7300 until a proper card can be produced or an update is issued to specifically correct multiple display support.*
*Thank you* everyone for your help, I really appreciate it. *+However, the users of the systems can only do so much without proper support from Apple and/or ATI on this issue.+*

External Monitor Wrong Resolution

I have an external monitor connected to my MacBook via mini display to VGA adapter. I can use my monitor but my Mac does not correctly detect the available resolutions of my external monitor . I does e.g. not detect the native 1440x900 resolution, but the Mac a lot of resolution not supported by the monitor. I\ve clicked 'detect monitors' in the system preferences with no avail. Is there a way the manually change the list of available resolutions?

Hi, which external monitor do you have?

MBP 15' 2011 Mini display port to LED monitor/TV resolution issue

Hello,
I have just bought a Mini Display - VGA adaptor which I am plugging to a Samsung 23' LED monitor via a VGA/DVI adaptor. I manage to get a clone view but unfortunately, the maximum resolution offered is 1650x1050 when my Samsung LED monitor has resolution of 1920x1080. Therefore, part of the screen remains black.
... also, when I plug the Mini display port to VGA to my Philips 47' VGA port, I got a message that there must be a problem with the connection and again, maximum resolution offered if 1440x10.. and therefore 20% of my TV screen space remains black.
At last, when I launch Windows7 via bootcamp, this is even wost : when I select the max resolution (1440x10..), the pictures remains freezed on my TV and I can't even move the mouse (while the mouse is moving on the MBP screen...). Only coming back to a very small resolution 800x600 or so will enable me to get control of the win7 desktop on my TV...
Thank you in advance for your help

If you are using the monitor in Mirrored mode, its resolution setting will always be exactly the same as that of the built-in display. I presume you have the high-res 15" MBP display, with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. If that's true, I suspect your monitor is indeed in Mirrored mode, and that's why you can't set the monitor to its native 1920 x 1080 resolution. If you press Command+F1 to toggle the mnitor into Extended Desktop mode, you'll be able to set its resolution independently of the built-in display. Or if you use only the external monitor, with the MBP display closed, you'll be able to set the monitor's resolution to whatever it supports.

Stacking one video adapter on top of another is usually a recipe for trouble. It's always best to keep things as simple as possible. Use one adapter that gets you from mini-Displayport to whatever input you want to use on the TV or monitor.

Feature Request - Better Multiple Monitor Support

Lightroom's support for a second display has definitely helped my workflow. I hope the team will consider adding more flexible multiple monitor support in version 4. Here's why.
I've recently experimented with running one of my three screens in portrait mode. When this screen hosts Lightroom's secondary display window in Loupe view, my verticals finally get equal real estate for editing. While I've not done hard statistics on my library, I know more than 50% of my imagery is in portrait orientation.
I'd like to see LR V4 support three or more screens so I could set up as follow:
Screen 1 - main lightroom interface, would not need to be calibrated, for controls and navigation
Screen 2 - Portrait orientation, loupe view - this would be a calibrated display, all develop changes to verticals would be judged on this screen
Screen 3 - Landscape orientation, loupe view - another calibrated display, all develop changes to horizontals would be judged on this screen
If Adobe could make the app intelligent enough to route the image to the correct screen based on orientation (recognizing and respecting cropping that could change orientation) my edit sessions would certainly speed up and I could maximize the productivity of multiple screens.
I'd be happy with this, but I'm also stymied by the need to switch back to Library mode to tag images when my primary workflow has me in develop. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the image. Before I invest in image-specific meta data, I have to process or at least "test-process" an image. IMO the Quick Develop panel is useless, once you become accustomed to the granular control of the develop sliders, it just doesn't cut it.
In the three monitor setup I described above I'd love to be able to configure screen 1, with a combination of panels from Library and Develop, so I could stay "develop centric" with immediate access to keywording and meta. The two additional screens would intelligently handle image display.
I think this might speed my workflow by 33% and having just returned from a Tour de France project that generated 23,000 images I need all the productivity help I can get.

Thanks for all those votes Rob. Now we just need to get the other 999,999 on board.
Actually, this topic has come up a lot on this forum. At this point, I think we just need to get Adobe on board.
VeloDramatic wrote:
There may be another thread for this one additional thought. If Adobe does improve multiple monitor support, we should be able to optimize our previews for those screens. Even after prerendering 1:1 previews there are issues with DEVELOP doing its own thing (I believe) each time a new image is loaded. I make extensive use of the PREVIOUS button moving through my shoots and there's always a lag of one or two seconds while the develop preview loads before the button is active. In a desktop environment where multiple screens allow landscape and portrait images to be displayed full screen I'd argue that 100% of the host screen resolution would be the ideal preview. Hope that made sense.
Yes, faster switching would be nice. I'm not sure what that would take. As it stands, there's like "9" previews generated when you do 1:1s - 100% down to tiny thumbnails. Still, one at exact monitor size that does not need to be resized at all does seem like it would be the fastest - I'm a bit on a limb though at this point.

How to know if this computer can handle a certain monitor's resolution?

I am looking to buy a new monitor, but I am at a loss as to how to know whether my computer can handle the monitor's resolution, will be compatible with it. I used to run two NEC Multisync FE991SB (CRT) monitors side by side, and one of them died. Their native resolution seems to be 1280x1024 per monitor. I am considering buying a DoubleSight DS-263N (LCD) monitor, which has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200, and running it alongside the NEC Multisync FE991SB that has not died.

Any advice on how i can learn about compatibility? And on what card i need to buy, if i do need to buy one? Thanks.

Dear Discussion Folks,
Thank you all so much for your help. I think I understand now, as a result of your comments and this reply from NVIDIA customer support:
"I understand from your mail that you would like to know if GeForce FX 5200 Ultra supports your monitor that has a recommended digital resolution of 1920 x 1200.Please be informed that as per the NVIDIA records, the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1600 x 1200 and the maximum analog resolution supported by this graphics card is 2048 x 1536. Since you have mentioned in your e-mail that the Apple's specs page says that the maximum digital resolution supported by this graphics card is 1920 x 1200, in this case, I request you to contact Apple Support over phone and get confirmed on this. The reason why I am requesting you to contact Apple is because, we at NVIDIA, manufacture only the basic chipsets for the graphics cards and sell them to Apple Computers. The Apple Computers produce the graphics cards using the NVIDIA chipsets."
This reassured me that there's no reason to worry about the appearance of a contradiction between the Apple tech sheet and the NVIDIA tech sheet. I went ahead and ordered this monitor today: the DoubleSIght DS- 265W.
(by the way, sorry about typing 1900x1200 when I meant 1920x1200).
After it arrives in a week or two, I'll update this thread to confirm that its resolution is supported by the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra card.
Thanks again,
Mark

Detect possible webcam resolutions

Happy New Year to everybody!
So, I searched forums and googled and not found anything on how to detect the Webcam supported resolutions in flash.
The whole issue stems from the issue when I use Camera.getCamera() (only have one attached to my laptop) I'm always getting
different values for camera.height and camera.width. Also some 720p cams have different aspect ratio then the old cameras.
Is there possible to detect somehow what's the largets resolution is supported by a webcam? Or all possible resolutions supported?
GLTA.

hi
I´m trying to know if the webcam is 4/3 or 16/9. You know that your solution could work?
cam.setMode(64000,48000,fps);
switch (ScaleCam(cam)) {
                case 1.33: // 4/3
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("4/3"+"\n"+cam.width+"\n"+cam.height);
                    break;
                case 1.77: // 16/9
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("16/9"+"\n"+cam.width+"\n"+cam.height);
                    break;
                case 3: //
                    break;
protected function ScaleCam(cam:Camera):Number {
    var scale:Number = new Number();
    scale = cam.width/cam.height;
    scale = Number(scale.toFixed(2));
    return scale;
I haven´t got webcam HD 16/9, so can´t try this solution.
Thanks!

Supported Resolutions for Powerbook 12" Rev A

I have a Rev A 12" Powerbook (867MHz) that has the Geforce 4MX 32MB graphics card. I was wondering if anyone knew the resolutions that my Powerbook supports and in particular if it would support a 1680x1050 resolution since I want to buy the Dell 2005FPW which runs at a native 1680x1050 resolution and use it as an external monitor.

Just for everyone's reference, in case this information is still needed....
The Rev.A 12" PowerBook supported resolutions and refresh rates for an external monitor, according to the technology specs PDF file available when it was first introduced:

Zsnes 1.42 fails to detect opengl libs

Hi there,
I'm new to archlinux (although not new to linux in general) and really like it so far. However I'm having some problems with compiling zsnes 1.42. For some reason zsnes fails to detect opengl.
I'm running libgl 7.0.3rc1-1 and mesa 7.0.3rc1-1 and use the intel video driver in X.
However the configure script from zsnes outputs:
checking for glGetError in -lGL... no
checking for OpenGL... no
my config.log
I'm using 1.42 and not the version available in pacman, because newer zsnes versions lack support for netplay.

JDS fails to detect wireless LAN Card

I've installed JDS on my Dell laptop (Latitude C840). The network works fine with my wired LAN card - 3COM 3C920-TX. However, JDS fails to detect my wireless card - "True Mobile 1150". Any idea?

Winston:
I would appreciate any info you can provide on how you got the 3com network card to work.
I have a 3com 3c940 in my ASUS p4p800 and the
JDS doesn't install it.
3com say the 3c940 is compatible with Linux 2.4 kernel and SuSE, so theoritically Sun should have installed it correctly, not so.
ASUS says I need kernel source installed in
/usr/src/linux - there is no such directory.
The nonexistent manual in Java Desktop certainly doesn't help.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can I install the latest GCC compiler or do I need to recompile a pile of programs to use it.
I believe the ATI video card needs files and compilers installed, which the default install did not do.
Thanks in advance for all and any help.
New to Linux, like the JDS all except the network issues. Wireless doesn't work and realize it is because a huge company like Cisco, the grand daddy of networking which brought Linksys are not supporting the broadcom chipset. ARGH!!

First run it, without any modification to learn how it works. Check if works. Modify as you need. Check if works...
Do not worry about the mkinitcpio error, because such initramfs images should not be used for boot live medium. You can see that profiles uses own mkinitcpio.conf with at least archiso hook
Running mkarchiso directly is not the right way, at least if you do not know how things works.

EM 12C: Fails to detect database related targets

Hi
I have been trying to add database target on a remote host but fails to detect it as its looking into a wrong ORACLE_HOME directory how can I make it to look into the right ORACLE_HOME,
the ORACLE_HOME is already defined in .bash_profile however its reading GRID_HOME as ORACLE_HOME and fails to detect database and related targets, I have already added the cluster target and want to add database related targets for the RAC.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Terry

Terry,
Have a look at support bulletin "Understanding Database Discovery in Enterprise Manager 12cCloud Control [ID 1400463.1]". The oracle home location is pulled from oratab which the agent needs access to ( see section "Has the database been discovered" ) for details.
Let us know if the resolves your issue.
Regards,
Dave

Lenovo Thinkpad W500, Intel (R), Windows 7, SP1, latest updates as of Oct 15
(1) Checked Setting, set to automatic update whenever, even changed to never update, rebooted the OS and changed back to automatic update and rebooted the OS.
(2) Stopped Windows Update Services, renamed SoftwareDistribution folder and started the window update services and rebooted.
(3) Ran MS FIXIT
(4) Ran System File checker Scan (sfc /scannow)
(5) Ran CHKDSK /F
(6) Installed "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" drivers from Lenovo site
(7) Ran Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB971033)
None of the above possible recommended solutions were able to fix the issue yet and now I am getting a message your Window is Not Genuine!
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Lenovo System Update installed the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.9.2.1002" right before the Windows Upgrade got broken. So in the Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, I choose Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, on the Driver Tab, I choose the option "Roll Back Driver" and after rolling back the driver and restarting the OS, now Windows Update is working like a Champ!
The End!

Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU Dual Monitor Support

My nephew has a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-ALU, downgraded from Vista to XP. Does this notebook support Dual Monitor Extended Desktop configuration? If so, how is this configured?
My nephew lives in a different city, so I am not able to just go over and lay w/ his machine. I am familiar w/ the dual monitor support on my HP LapTop, but am not sure what to look for on the Lenovo. Assistance is appreciated.

Computer is working now. The hibernation is still a problem.
