Xorg.conf can't set resolution right everything is blurry

i just switched from CRT to LCD and it looks really bad.
DELL 1907FP
I've set xorg.conf according to the monitor specifications
resolution is set to monitor's native resolution and the display size is set
to the one specified in the monitor manual.
http://www.vladuz976.com/aboutdell.html
this is my xorg.conf
http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/NWpuq274.html
The fonts in all windows and the resolution look really bad. everything seems to be a bit blurry in general.
Did i set something wrong in xorg.conf?
what should the DPI be?
vladuz@box:/etc/X11$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
resolution: 85x86 dots per inch

the picture looks a little better now. I set the vertical range from a range to a
specific value (75.0), looks better now.
but i get
xdpyinfo | grep resolution gives 85x86 dots per inch
isn't that a little low for a 19" 1280x1024 with display size of 380mm 300mm?

Xorg.conf: can't configure resolution lower than 1152x864

Hi,
I just installed Arch (base system + X11 + XFCE + handful of apps) on five computers in our public library. One of the machines has an ATI graphic card:
[biblio@mediatheque1:~] $ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)
Every machine has a 17'' flatscreen monitor. Usually, I configure xorg.conf to use a resolution of 1024x768. Some of the users here are older and often visually impaired, and I generally avoid using resolutions higher than this on this type of monitor. But I can't seem to configure it on my ATI card. Ah, yes: I'm using the open source xf86-video-ati driver. And here's the relevant bits from xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864"
EndSubSection
EndSection
When I specify 1024x768 and restart X, the resolution won't change. So I leave it at that, since when I specify nothing, it looks like it want to default to something even higher, my guess is 1280x1024, which is barely legible on a 17'' monitor.
I had a similar problem on the other machines, using recent Intel cards. I found a workaround, in that I replaced the recent xf86-video-intel drivers by the older xf86-video-i810 driver. Only the latter seemed to accept the 1024x768 resolution.
Any suggestions for this?

I'll answer this myself. After leafing through my logfiles, I found the following solution. Add this line to the Display SubSection:
Virtual 1024 768

Hi,
there is no native API for this, so you will have to use JavaScript for this. What is the usecase ?

How can we set Admin rights to access all user mailboxes in IMAP server exchange 2010?

Hi,
IMAP is in exchange 2010..
as per guide:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200730%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
CSV Files for IMAP Migration Batches`
Use super-user or administrator credentials. This requires that you use an account in your IMAP messaging system that has the necessary rights to access all user mailboxes.
In the CSV file, you use the credentials for this account for each row. To learn whether your IMAP server supports this approach and how to enable it, see the documentation for your IMAP server.
How can we set Admin rights to access all user mailboxes in IMAP server exchange 2010?
thanks?

Hi,
Do you mean assigning a user full access permission to all other mailboxes? If so, we can try the following command:
Get-Mailbox -Server “Exchange 2010” | Add-MailboxPermission -User AdminUserName -AccessRights FullAccess

Can't set resolution to match external LCD display.

Hi all.
I'm having trouble getting the screen to display on my 42" LCD without cutting off the right/left edges.
I've found two sets ways to try and fix this in the Nvidia control panel:
1-setting the ### x ### resolution doesn't help.
2-when setting up the external monitor all the resolution settings are grayed out.
Also, changing my format settings on the tv itself makes no difference.
I'm using an 9600M GT and got the same result before and after updating the drivers.
Anybody have any ideas?

What I would try is the binary nvidia drivers and use the nvidia-settings tool, it seems to work better for setting screen resolutions on Nvidia cards, in my experience. It lets me set resolutions that xrandr won't let me, like 1280x720 on my 4:3 monitor if I feel like it (I had good reasons to do it lol, and no, I didn't stretch it out, I had black bars on it). I have it set to output 1360x768 to my LCD TV and I set it through nvidia-settings (though that was the default on it, so maybe a slightly different situation, but similar).
After xrandr change KDE says that it is 1360x768, but on monitor's OSD I see 1280x768…
Well, one of those is right, one is wrong, find out which is which Sometimes on my TV, if I'm in something with a lot of black space (full screen video or something), and I switch inputs, my TV will sometimes say either 1280x768 or even 1024x768, even though it's still in 1360x768). Maybe try taking a screenshot or something, and then an image viewer will tell you the real resolution of your screen.

Hi Mark,
Safari isn't intended to be an upload client for FTP'ing. For that you'll need a dedicated FTP client like CyberDuck.
For some reason, on this computer, when I build an HTML file and save it, then open it using safari, I get the source code instead of the rendering of the source code.
Which editor are you using to do this? I'm guessing TextEdit - if that's the case, use the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option to save the .html file. You'll then be able to save the file with whatever extension you prefer for JavaScript etc.
want to switch back to the textedit application using COMMAND + tab the application doesn't open up. It remains minimized in the dock
I know what you mean here and it is a bit frustrating. If you really want to stick with the keyboard you can do Ctrl+F2 then use the arrow keys to select the appropriate window from the Window menu. Normally I just keep the windows on screen and use Exposé to quickly retrieve the window.
Hope some of that helps.

[solved] Can't set clock right!

Hello everybody,
I have a pretty annoying problem here..
I live in Ottawa, Canada, so my timezone is
Canada/Eastern
So at the localization part of rc.conf, I put:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime"
# USEDIRECTISA: use direct I/O requests instead of /dev/rtc for hwclock
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="yes"
TIMEZONE="Canada/Eastern"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
But now the system clock is set 7 hours later than
the real local time..
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance

Then add openntpd to your daemons array in your /etc/rc.conf file so it will start with your next boot up, and then
/etc/rc.d/openntpd start
and your clock should be correct.
Right, I had troubles with my clock 2 hours late, I did the openntpd thing and it worked
So thanks Rumor
But my hwclock isn't right...(or is it ?)

All network connections are fine, including that between printer/network.
I am not sure whether open up the back door and throw it out or give it another day of trying to get it right.
hate the back door option. I could hard the neighbor's cat or plants. I also do not like to throw away something that should work.
Tried USB and wireless sets ups. Several installs, uninstalls, etc.
Computer working great, printers was running great, etc. I'm pretty good at hardware/software issues, but I must be weary of poor software from printing devices. Would really appreciate any input.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.

Hi,
Make sure you are using the driver for the Duplexer model, it is different driver than the Non-Duplex model (which you will see the exact problem as described by using it).
You may find the software below:

How can I set a right link Aggregations?

I have a Enterprise T5220 server, running Solaris 10 that I am using as a backup server. On this server, I have a Layer 4, LACP-enabled link aggregation set up using two of the server's Gigabit NICs (e1000g2 and e1000g3) and until recently I was getting up to and sometimes over 1.5 Gb/s as desired. However, something has happened recently to where I can now barely get over 1 Gb/s. As far as I know, no patches were applied to the server and no changes were made to the switch that it's connected to (Nortel Passport 8600 Series) and the total amount of backup data sent to the server has stayed fairly constant. I have tried setting up the aggregation multiple times and in multiple ways to no avail. (LACP enabled/disabled, different policies, etc.) I've also tried using different ports on the server and switch to rule out any faulty port problems. Our networking guys assure me that the aggregation is set up correctly on the switch side but I can get more details if needed.
In order to attempt to better troubleshoot the problem, I run one of several network speed tools (nttcp, nepim, & iperf) as the "server" on the T5220, and I set up a spare X2100 as a "client". Both the server and client are connected to the same switch. The first set of tests with all three tools yields roughly 600 Mb/s. This seems a bit low to me, I seem to remember getting 700+ Mb/s prior to this "issue". When I run a second set of tests from two separate "client" X2100 servers, coming in on two different Gig ports on the T5220, each port also does ~600 Mb/s. I have also tried using crossover cables and I only get maybe a 50-75 Mb/s increase. After Googling Solaris network optimizations, I found that if I double tcp_max_buf to 2097152, and set tcp_xmit_hiwat & tcp_recv_hiwat to 524288, it bumps up the speed of a single Gig port to ~920 Mb/s. That's more like it!
Unfortunately however, even with the TCP tweaks enabled, I still only get a little over 1 Gb/s through the two aggregated Gig ports. It seems as though the aggregation is only using one port, though MRTG graphs of the two switch ports do in fact show that they are both being utilized equally, essentially splitting the 1 Gb/s speed between
the two ports.
Problem with the server? switch? Aggregation software? All the above? At any rate, I seem to be missing something.. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!

sundy

If you ran two streams simultaneously, then you should see a difference between a single 1G interface and an aggregate of two 1G interfaces.

How can i set resolution in ipad

Dear Friends,
I am facing a problem with resolution, i installed one of my enterprises software on our ipad am not able to view some features when i checked with the software vendor they are saying its due to resolution problem is there any one having idea to change Ipad resolution pls reply me asap I am stuck up somewhere due to this
Reagards
Anilraj

No, there isn't a way to adjust the iPad resolution.
Which iPad do you have? Perhaps letting the vendor know which version you have can help them create a app that would work on your one, although there shouldn't ever be a resolution issue.

How can i set resolution for monitor

The maximum resolution for my monitor is not shown in the preferences.
How can I make my macBook Pro use the display in the highest resolution.

What model MacBook Pro and what video format? Are you talking about the internal display or an external display? 1600 x 1200 is the old style 4:3 NTSC video format and 1920 x 1200 is today's widescreen 16:10 format. They're two different animals. The native resolution and what your notebook or external display can handle or adapt to are not necessarily the same thing.

HP 2011x can not set resolution to 1600x900

I had to replace the hard drive in my Pavilion p7-1270t, Windows 7 Professional OS, drivers are shown as updated. However, I am unable to set my monitor resolution to the recommended 1600x900. I only have 2 settings, 1024x768 and 800x600. I downloaded the Intel Driver Update Utility as recommended in a previous question regarding this same issue, updated to the recommended driver, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

From the symptoms, I suspect the graphics driver is not installed. In the post, it does not state what was used to install Windows 7. If the Recovery DVD set was not used, then that would tend to support my suspicion. On THIS PAGE, there is another driver for graphics. Listed is Original ATI Unified Graphics Driver, and the Original NVIDIA Unified Graphics Driver.
Maybe both are needed. With these setups that have graphics as part of the CPU and also use a Graphics card, I read that many are having problems when not using the Recovery DVD set.

Reversed image on monitor. How can I set it right?

My monitor went to reversed image. My two-year old son "worked" at it while I was away. Can not repair it. I didn't find the answer in manuals. Can you me give a piece of advice? Thanks in advance.

I am sorry, I found the answer myself. Thanks to CaptKevMan
May be it will be useful for someone else: [command]-[opt]-[ctrl]-[8] is the hot key combo to switch between black on white and white on black.

Set permanent monitor refresh rate without xorg.conf

Hi everyone,
Came back to archlinux, made a clean install with gnome 3. Found out that my GDM and Gnome monitor refresh rate is wrong. For GDM I solved it by adding xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 85 to the gdm init script. Maybe it's ugly, but at least working. I've got no xorg.conf and I don't want to create it only because of this problem. Using GUI screen settings in System preferences I managed only to set permanently correct resolution (1024x768) but the refresh rate cannot be changed there, so every time I boot now I have correct resolution and refresh rate for GDM, but after login I have 1024x768@60 only, so I have to manually issue 'xrandr -r 85' every time I login. Can I fix it without creating xorg.conf file under /etc/X11? What I already tried was creating the config file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and set proper resolution and refresh rate there, but it didn't help. If someone has advice or idea, i will be very grateful. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you need to specify the values from the manufacturer's website.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DELL"
ModelName "U2311H"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
I probably don't need to specify "Driver" with open-source drivers, but it's easier to just replace it with "nvidia", since I sometimes switch to the proprietary ones.
