I installed fedora 14 on Dell laptop but I am unable to change resolution on my laptop also video quality is poor , I think proper drivers are not installed. I am new to Fedora, so probably missing something.

When I boot my computer I get this message: Warning Pc video resolution is out of range Change setting to recommended resolution 1280x1024 @60mh So I hit ctrl alt f1 I typed in Sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Nothing happens. It's been very frustrating because with everything that I've looked up it says that it's suppose to guide me through something. I desperately need my computer for school.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a MythTV environment to switch from Windows based MediaPortal (with a high number of disturbing bugs). Yet, I have three difficulties, which I want to discuss with you. They are:
- No audio via HDMI see [URL]
- Video resolution seems to change during video playback
- Channels cannot be found via DVB-S [URL]
As you can see, I have created three posts to keep discussions focused.
Alltogether I have the following setup:
- AMD 5050e CPU
- 8 GByte RAM
- Biostar TA890GXE
- Samsung LE40M86BD, connected via HDMI (and only HDMI)
- Mythbuntu 10.10 with proprietary drivers installed
- Technisat Skystar HD2 DVB-S card (two times)
Now, here is the problem:
Whenever I playback any video material using e.g. VLC, the screen resolution changes. This also applies when playback the video in a window and not fullscreen. The problem is that whenever the screen resolution changes, short time later the TV set blanks screen and show the TV set specific information "unsupported video mode".
How can I enforce to stay in the configured video mode?
I have an acer aspire one netbook and in display properties it says the monitor is unknown. The trouble is that the screen is widescreen (16:9) but it has it as (4:3)so the screen is sort of stretched. Is the a terminal command as another way round this or how can i get the screen recognised?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't change the video resolution for Intel 82740 (i740) video card.I'm new to Ubuntu 10.04, as I've just installed it and I have a problem with video settings.I can't change video resolution for my video adapter. I can only choose between 800x600, 640x480,400x300... not 1024x768 for example.No restricted or proprietary drivers...I used Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD and it automatically set the resolution to 1024x768.I also used Puppy linux 5.1 Live CD and it had a configuration program which also utilised 1024x768.If these versions of linux can utilise the 1024x768 resolution, why can't Ubuntu 10.04
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Centos 5.5 64 bit (with all updates) installed on a new computer that I built, and everything works perfectly out of the box except for the fact that if I try and change the resolution of the display to the max resolution that I can use (aka native resolution of the monitor at 1920 X 1080) using system-config-display, as soon as I log out and log back it in, it reverts to 1280 X 1024. I am very leery of changing the xorg file because this is an expensive monitor and I do not want to trash it, and I have absolutely no experience setting up these video parameters in linux. I did try switching from the vesa driver to the radeon driver using system-config-display, but Centos forced a reconfigure of everything, bringing it back once again to vesa at 1280 X 1024.
I have no desire to to any gaming in Linux, so 2D resolution at 1920 X 1080 using open source drivers would be fine (Whatever the easiest solution would be). I would consider updating drivers, but I my number one concern in doing so would to keep Centos stable. All I ask for is text that is easier to read when I open a terminal, because I work almost exclusively from the command line. My very old computer which is running Fedora 13 and much older hardware has absolutely brilliant graphics in comparison (Obviously newer drivers, kernel, looks like it does not use an xorg file, etc).

I installed on Aspire One Maverick and then Wine and then Ulead Video Studio. Now Ulead doesn't work, because it need 1024x768, and Aspire One is limited to 1024x600. I tried to install Xrandr and change the resolution of the external monitor to 1680x1050, but the problem still remain.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been using Ubuntu for a couple of years and always at the 1024 768 screen resolution.
I just finished installing version 10.04. It defaulted to 1280 1024.
I much prefer the 1024 768 because it is better for my older eyes, but when I attempt to change, the screen goes black for a minute and then stays at 1280 1024.
Since earlier versions of Ubuntu did it, this should also, but..
Just Installed the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook on my Toshiba Portege 7200 and the screen resolution is set to 800x600. The OS is not recognizing the fact the laptop can do 1024x768. I've been searching the net for a few hours to fix the problem and I'm not getting anywhere. The fix to the problem is to add the info below to the Xorg.conf file. This file does not seem to exsist on the latest version and if I create it manually it does not work.

this post started after i have googled around about 2h without solving my problem: the higher the resolution is i set to my opensuse, the greater the symbols and text-sizes of my windows will be (pictures follow).
i installed openSuse in my vmware Workstation tryed differnt screen-sizes. for example here is a perfect display quality with a res of 1024x768: but if i change the res to 2560x1600 i get really ugly results. is there a setting to avoid the resizing of windows like firefox or dolphin /fixing the dpi?
I have installed kmilo, modprobed nvram and added line: KERNEL=="nvram", MODE="0666", GROUP="nvram" to 91-permissions.rules. I used command addgroup nvram and add me ( user tomasso ) to nvram group. Kmilo works fine but I am not able to change brightness of my laptop in kpowersave or by using fn key on my laptop keyboard. I am in powerdev group too.

The video qaulity is so slow i give up and install xubuntu thinking it will be better since it is for slower computers, wrong. So im thinking it is a video driver issue or something. it has the intel gma 500 in it but it is only allowed to use 8mb of memory for video and i cant change it in the bios. I mean it shouldnt have all the lag on xubntu that it does

I was experimenting with transcoding video with ffmpeg. using the command
Code:
ffmpeg -i moviename.avi moviename.mkv
outputs the .avi into .mkv, but the output quality is very, very bad, while the original is dvd-quality.
I have a vp6 codec flv. I have a wav file that I want to convert into mp3 and added to the vp6 flv. So when I play the flv the audio is added and the video quality is not changed.I tried:ffmpeg -i 20.flv -i 20.wav -vcodec copy -acodec libmp3lame new_file.flvbut I an error "Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?)". I'm guessing because it is a vp6 flv codec.Is there a way to just add an audio file to the flv? There is no audio in the current flv. I cannot lose any quality in the video.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I watch movies on Ubuntu I noticed that quality of reproduction is not good as in Windows. All movies seems to have some sort of contrast problem which I don't know how to fix. This problem is not present in Windows (XP/7) and stand-alone DVD players play them also correctly.
Here are images (AVI, DivX format)
Windows version: http://i52.tinypic.com/125hlis.png
Linux version: http://i56.tinypic.com/tz53t.png
Also here is MKV format which is noticeably even sharper in Windows:
Windows version: http://i53.tinypic.com/2lmqxqe.png
Linux version: http://i53.tinypic.com/15gfmlt.png
Note: I didn't wanted to include them in post since they are quite big and I didn't want to do JPG compress since they might lose quality. Try not to resize them.
On Ubuntu I installed some 'extra' codecs (might be proprietary) via Software center. I use standard movie player that comes with 10.10, but for MKV I use VLC since mkv don't run in standard movie player. On Windows I use k-lite codec pack and GOM player. My guess is that Windows solve those sharpness and contrast issues by using some playback filters (possibly contained in k-lite codec pack) that are unavailable in Ubuntu. I installed proprietary video driver for ATI RADEON 2600.
I hooked up my laptop via monitor cable to the L.C.D. T.V. and ran a patch I found on Ubuntu forums because it wasn't showing up on the T.V. After that it asked me what screen resolution I wanted I entered it and then the screen worked! However, now when I play movies on either the T.V as a monitor or just on the laptop itself it comes out with bad video quality now. It sucks because that was the purpose of hooking up my T.V. as the monitor was to watch movies and videos I have downloaded.

My monitor is a Priceton Graphics VF912. I cannot find ANY information on this monitor on the internet as far as its Horizontal Sync and Refresh Rate. I know it is capable of at least 60 Hz because I have an identical one attached to my windows machine.
Someone please help. I have tried everything: running the xconfigurator tool, the nvidia xconfig tool, maually editing the xorg.conf and adding the resolutions myself and nothing works. Also xranr does not detect my monitor's capability correctly either. My system is an HP xw4300 with all stock parts except hard drive which is 500 gb sata. Using the stock "nv" driver does not give me resolutions above 800 x 600
I am looking for a good alternative to Skype. I would like to have video and voice calls with a family member who uses MS XP but would like to avoid Skype if possible. Does anyone know of a good client with good video and voice quality that will work on both platforms. I'd like it to use open standards so at least we can use different OS specific clients if one is not available for both platforms. Googling hasn't yielded much and some of the results refer to really old (~2006) articles or apps. I hope I'm not doomed to using Skype. I've resisted so long with using SIP clients for voice but am stumped now that I want to include video.
