Xrandr not supporting old resolution

Upgrading Xorg completely broke my system. Lots of not-fun later, I found out that setting up dual-head has to be done with xrandr, which seems like a good way to do it.
However, xrandr does not support setting the resolution from before...
I want to have my two screens running at 1280x1024 (which is quite normal I think, anyone having two 19''ers ).
Now xrandr tells me, that the maximum resolution I can use is 1920x1200. Perviously with xinerama I could set the resolution to 2560x1024 without any problems.
Anyone have similar problems? Anyone have a solution?

Many of the posts/solutions that I read recommended copying the file: AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext (contains video/res/buffer settings?) from a Mavericks Time Machine backup. Next downloading a program called KextBeast (installs .kext files) and run KextBeast to install that file into Yosemite. Since I didn't have a Mavericks Time Machine backup - I did a fresh install of Mavericks then copied the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file to an external drive. Next I did another fresh install of Yosemite. Booted up into Yosemite. Copied the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file to my desktop. Ran the KextBeast program and it installed the file exactly where it is suppose to be. I rebooted and then opened System Preferences/Displays -chose the "Scaled" option and there was the 3440x1440 resolution at the top of the list. My LG 34UM94-P Monitor is running in all its 3440x1440 glory!!!!
To locate the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext in Mavericks:
From the Finder, select Go > Go to folder... and enter "/System/Library/Extensions/".
KextBeast can be downloaded here: www.tonymacx86.com
I have to admit I was worried about running KextBeast - just because I know nothing about the program - but I figured worse comes to worse I would do a fresh install back to Mavericks. But KextBeast worked like a charm! If you have the know-how using Terminal you can do manually what KextBeast does -do a search for jonathans Blog. KextBeast requires that you first copy the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file to your desktop.
SOME OTHER NOTES:
There were some posts that recommended getting a Hex Editor and editing the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file - I assume they meant the version of the file that is used by Yosemite - but I went the easy way.
Hopefully this is helpful,

Iphoto does not support the resolution of my dslr camera...how do i upload full resolution photos?

iphoto does not support the resolution of my dslr camera...how do i upload full resolution photos?

You actually need to give information to get help - just stating an abstract problems (which is most certainly not a problem at all) gives the volunteers hearer nothing to work with to help you
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What exactly is the problem (iPhoto does support the resolution of your camera so that is NOT a problem)? what exactly are you doing? What error messages do you get? why do you incorrectly think that iPhoto does not support full resolution?
At this time your question is like my car won't start - why not? Could be anything from you did not put the key jun to being out of gas to having the engine stolen - no way to tell anything - except that the problem you claim is not true (at least in my example I would know that the car did not start)

Your TV may not support this resolution or refresh rate.

Hi All,
In the last hour, my apple TV (3rd Gen) has changed the TV resolution (hookup via HDMI directly into a Samsung 720p LED TV). Everything is bigger. No issue since in the past I would just change the resolution manually to 720p 50Hz, but now it will not let me and it says the following:
"Your TV may not support this resolution or refresh rate."
Does this have anything to do with ATV latest software update? Is it that my TV is an older model?
Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Bonfoa

Change the Apple TV resolution:
Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.

Lenovo V200 does not support 1920x1080 resolution

I have a Lenovo V200 (0764-33G) with a LG W2343T external monitor attached which has a native resolution of 1920x1080. For some reason this resolution is not supported by the notebook. It is not a chipset issue as the Intel GM965 chip does support 1920x1080 and I have a number of other notebooks from other vendors with the same chipset that display perfectly on identical external monitors. It cannot be a performance issue becuase the display settings on the V200 allow me to select a resolution higher than 1920x1080.
According to various posts on the internet, this is a BIOS issue. For some reason 1920x1080 is excluded at a BIOS level. Is this indeed the case?
I have updated the BIOS to version 65ET60WW and have installed the latest drivers from Intel without any success...
Is there a fix for this, or has anyone been able to solve the problem?

Hello rgarnott,
you might have already seen my other post regarding this issue.
I came to the same conclusion as you did, that this is BIOS related. But as you, I couldn't find an explanation or confirmation.
However, I found a way to circumvent this restriction. See the above mentioned post.

Hardware not supporting old kernels!!

Yesterday I bought M/board Asus P5V800 + Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3 … odelmenu=1
Either the new CPU (socket LGA775) or the M/borad, doesn't support Kernel-2.6.11 (my custom kernel) but the latest 2.6.16. I also tried Archie Live CD (2.6.x) and Knoppix 3.6 (2.4.x), doesn't work. In Knoppix booting freezes asking for "south bridge dma", in Archie no X support, and in HD no X and LAN support.
In Windows, doesn't support Win 98. Runs but cannot install some of the board sources. Drive install CD for 2000 and XP only.
<b>For my information, is this a common restriction of LGA775?</b>
Note: End of the day I sold the hardwares and upgraded my old Celeron (socket 478) to Pentium. Pentium 4 with Celeron doesn't work well managing heavy multitask work. Compiling apps and at the same running X apps freezing the machine.

Windows has shoddy driver support until 2000/XP. I also found this out first hand trying to install Windows ME with what should be considered very old compatible drivers. That's we me pops runs latest standard kernel with Arch Linux now. It loves the hardware (not literally), but me pops loves the Arch.
So, it goes, backwards compatible is easy, forward compatible depends on too many things like driver unification and just how shoddy the OS is (MS). I'm just amazed at how much of a mule the OS can be when it has trouble recognizing hardware. so I had this thread: "I would rather spend a week causually installing/configuring arch than the rest of my life installing Windows ME."...or something to that effect.

My apple TV does not support 1280x720 resolution

Hi all,
I have recently bought a apple TV in Greece. However it seems that I cannot make it accept movies (ripped from DVD) with resolution 1280x720 (24 fps). Are apple TVs sold in Greece different from these sold in US ?
The funny thing is that the greek apple site does not mention at all this resolution in the apple tv specs...

Are apple TVs sold in Greece different from these sold in US ?I woundn't think so.
The funny thing is that the greek apple site does not mention at all this resolution in the apple tv specs...720p24 and 720p25 are only supported in the H.264 "Main" profile with average video data rate supposedly limited to 5.0 Mbps and with stereo/"surround" AAC audio limited to 160 Kbps at 48.0 KHz. Make sure your target file output conforms to these settings.

Blend does not support display resolutions higher than 1080p

I have noticed that blackberry blend does not resize its display to compensate for higher resolutions. In other words, if you open up blend on a windows laptop with a QHD display. The text is going to look really small. Please fix.

Thank you for this feedback. I have passed this request on to our development and product teams for further discussion.

Yosemite not supporting 3440x1440 resolution

I have a Mac Mini Late 2012 hooked up to a LG 34UM94-P Monitor (21:9) - after upgrading to Yosemite I've lost my 3440x1440 resolution! I had to downgrade back to Mavericks in order to get the 3440x1440 resolution back .

Apple 23" Cinema Display not supported by Windows Media Center Edition PC

Well I'm learning the hard way and of course that is through experience. I just found out after purchasing my 23"Apple Display and talking to the Apple Support Tech is that Apple does not support the Cinema Display with PC's,
Wish Apple would be more transparent on this issue prior to a costly purchase. For example on the Apple site listing the Display in system requirements:
Windows PC and graphics card that supports DVI ports with full single-link digital bandwidth and VESA DDC standard for plug and play setup
Well I have a Windows PC with a Nvidia Graphics card just as the system requirements state. Yet my PC will not adjust to proper resolution for the Apple Display. The graphics card works fine. Its a driver issue where the Apple Display is not compatible with Window Media Center Edition on Windows PC's
So in conclusion the system requirements for Windows PC's that Apple is stating For Apple Cinema Displays is not correct. The system requirements need also to state that the Apple Cinema Display does not work with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE)
Hope that helps for any users with Windows Media Center Edition thinking or already have purchased an Apple Cinema Display.

Well,
Here is the latest from Nvidia Customer Care educating users on the DVI port on the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200:
"...The basic difference you will see in these ports are in their Physical appearance. The DVI-D has less pins compared to the DVI-I port connector. Also the Apple 23" Cinema Display will work at a resolution of 1920*1200. But this graphics card that is Geforce FX 5200 will not support this resolution of 1920*1200. It will support only till 1600*1200. So that's the reason you were having the issues were you were not able to adjust the resolution"
So I ask, which Nvidia GPU card can I substitute for the current one at a reasonable price? I don't need dual link, so single link would be sufficient for my application . Here is some more helpful tips from Nvidia support. Hope this helps other users, utilizing the Apple 23" Cinema Display"
"...go for a Geforce 7600 GS graphics card which is a AGP 8x compatible graphics card. This graphics card is just 129$ graphics card. Please visit the given link to know about the details of this graphics card."
http://bfgtech.com/7600GS_512.html
And now for the final conclusion of what you need to know regarding DVI ports. Evidently Nvidia uses a term called normal DVI port. I've never heard of that term in the literature in shopping for a graphics card and checking the specs. I guess you need to look for the specific term single or dual link specifically. If it doesn't say that, then what I can gather it is a normal DVI port...whatever the heck that is?
"...Yes let me inform you that the Geforce FX 5200 graphics card does have one DVI port and one VGA port. But these single link and Dual link DVI port is totally different compared to the normal DVI ports. As you wanted to connect an Apple 23" Cinema Display to this graphics card. So for this you will need to have a graphics card which will have a Single link or Dual link DVI ports not the normal ports. So to support an Apple 23" Cinema Display, you will need to have either a Geforce 6 series or the Geforce 7 series graphics card. That's the reason I gave you the list of graphics card which comes with Single or Dual link DVI ports, not the normal ports."
Oh well off to the market to pick up either a Series 6 or Series 7 Nvidia Graphics card. The Nvidia Customer Care team was very helpful and replied to my inquires very quickly through email.
Hope this long drawn out expose helps others who might have issue with connecting their proud Apple 23' Cinema Display to their PC
Kind Regards,
John

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs.

Camcorder video error: "Unable to record. Resolution not supported by memory card."

We purchased two Samsung Droid Charges the first day they were released and recently they've both been getting this error after 8-15 seconds of recording in HD (1280x720): "Warning: Unable to record. Resolution not supported by memory card."
Called Verizon tech support, but they referred me to Samsung. Not knowing much about micro SDHC cards, I was alarmed to discover that the factory pre-installed 32gb card is only rated class 2 for speed. Samsung told me you need a minimum of speed class 4 or higher to record at this resolution. The only problem is you need an SD card installed in order to use the camcorder, period. In other words, all of us who payed an arm and a leg for the best phone Verizon sells now have to go buy our own micro sd card that actually supports all of the phone features as advertised?! The lowest prices I've seen for the faster cards are $70. Are we the only two Charge owners experiencing this problem? I've read somewhere that lower speed class cards may initially support faster speeds than they are rated until they accumulate more files, so the problem may go undetected for some time until you have more files that are stored in different locations on the card (making them difficult to access at the faster speeds). This may explain why are the first ones to get this error since we've had the phones the longest and only 50% free space remaining on the SD card. Oh, Samsung also said they won't be able to replace your card for one that has the proper speed rating. Kind of seems like false advertising to say a feature is available (HD camcorder), and then not mention the fact that the memory card provided isn't sufficient for that feature (separate upgrade required). Anyone else sharing the same frustrations? Ideas?

Thanks for the response. I've tried everything on that page. It's not an issue with the cable, or firewire port or the cable being connected properly, as the iSight camera works fine with iChat. I've disconnected the only other firewire device on the computer, didn't make any difference. Camera works fine in iChat, so it's not the camera itself. And, as I mentioned in the post, the same camera, if hooked up to my laptop, works just fine recording in QuickTime. So, it appears to be an issue with the QuickTime installation on this computer. I've done a search for the same error I'm getting and found some other occurrences with the same problems, but none that offered a solution.

Why do 15.4" Macbook Pro's not support resolutions greater than 1440 x 900?

Hi.
I am a Microsoft .net software developer and am seriously considering getting a Macbook Pro to do some iPhone development. My company has provided me with a 15.4" Dell Precision M4400 that features an LED-backlit screen and nVidia Quadro FX 770M discrete graphics card, supporting 1920 x 1200 native resolution. I'd like to know why the 15.4" Macbook Pro's do not support anything greater than 1440 x 900 when it seems entirely possible? I understand that 17" MBP's do support 1920 x 1200 but it is not currently an option I'm considering pursuing due to the increased size and weight.
Thanks.
Jon
Message was edited by: jonb86uk

Just to be clear, since you're bringing up graphics cards - the 15" MBP supports up to 2560x1600 resolution on an external display, and simultaneously supports full native resolution on the internal display. As Phil points out, the native resolution of the 15" MBP's internal display is 1440x900, and Apple does not offer a higher resolution option for that model (although higher resolution 15" displays do exist). As to why that's the case, only Apple can answer that or change that.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html.
As you know, if you want to use the iPhone SDK, you need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
Ps. Welcome back, Phil!!

Changed resolution by mistake and have lost everything "mode not supported"

Guys,
This one is totally my own fault but ive managed to crash my Apple TV and was wondering if someone may be able to assit me with a solution?
Apple TV was working fine on my samsung HD TV and i was playing about with the settings.
I belive i was in "resolution" at the time and the setting was 'auto'.
For no reason other than my own stupdity, i changed the resolution to 780p or something like that and the screen went immediately blank.
All i get now is "mode not supported".
Ive held down + and menu and done the scan and it wont retrueve my previous settings.
Ive also tried - and menu and still nothing.
Why didnt i just leave it alone.
Any ideas folks on how i can get this back working and restore to auto?
Panicking.....
Simon.

Have you tried restarting it.
