I am trying to hook my qosmio laptop into my vizio tv. I am using a VGA cable and I run mandriva linux 2009.1.
Unfortunately I have no luck from here. I rebooted my computer and for the first time it offered to run drakroam, but when I accepted, nothing happened.
I connected my HP Pavillion laptop to a 1360x768 Vizio TV. On the TV it displays my laptop but on my laptop it has a black screen. How do I fix it so I can see my laptop screen on my laptop and on my TV at the same time?
I used to be able to do this with this TV as well as my friend's Samsung. I'm using a VGA connector. What should I do to have my laptop screen on my laptop and on my TV at the same time?

View 1 Replies View RelatedTwo tries at building mplayer. First time failed with no sound, second time worked fine - NO CHANGES that I know of, BUT OK - it works nicely.So if I click on a file in the Linux (fedora 14) file browser, I see using "Mplayer Media Player" as a second option, It does nothing, nor does it do anything from the Application tool menu. I do not know where the "I am doing nothing (and here is why)" error message is logged.
I can manually run mplayer or xmplayer on the .wmv file and it works.How do I edit the menus (control files?) and have them use the newly installed and working mplayer (or xmplayer??).Next, it would be nice to make mplayer the default tool to play videos in Firefox (the default for both is another tool (Movie player) which needs a plugin that I cannot find to work).And finally, if I can get one or both of these working - it would be nice to set the default to the new player instead of "Movie player".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Nvidia GeForce 6150 integrated video card, and my TV is a Vizio VW32L. I installed the latest recommended driver from the Hardware Drivers. When I open the utility, I can select 1360x768, which is pretty close I thought. I selected this and hit apply, but it cuts off both the right and left side of the screen. For example, I can't see the Applications in the upper left corner. I went in to the TV menu and auto-adjusted, but it still cuts off both sides. I looked around the forums a bit and it sounds like I have to create a modeline. This is from my manual:
1366x768
60Hz
47.55 H.Freq (kHz)
59.81 V.Freq (Hz)
Positive H.Sync
Positive V.Sync
85.50 Pixel Freq (MHz)
I typed this in on http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl and got the modeline:Modeline "1360x768@60" 84.50 1360 1392 1712 1744 768 783 791 807
Can anybody verify these settings? Or am I going to screw up my TV? Also, I'm pretty new at this. Where in the xorg.conf file do I put this information?
I was looking at other threads and I think I have to add +HSync +Vsync to the end, because my manual says they're both positive, right?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am completely new to Ubuntu or any Linux based OS whatsoever, so excuse me if I sound retarded. I recently installed Xubuntu to an old laptop of mine and everything went fine except for the fact that I had to install a WiFi driver; I liked Xubuntu so much that I decided to go ahead and dual boot Ubuntu on my WIndows 7 machine. After I installed Ubuntu, I realized that I was stuck in 800x600 resolution and I was unable to run the resolution in 1920x1080 like I should be able to. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu and I had the same thing happen. Most of the other help forums I had searched claimed that I needed to check my Xorg Config, but I don't know how to do that. Also, I get a "too many connections" message every time I start in Ubuntu; could this possibly be related?

Quick update: Ubuntu will not let me use the "extra visual effects" option for my desktop appearance. It stars searching for a driver then doesn't let me use the enhanced visuals. This leads me to believe that it's a driver issue. How can I tell which driver I am using in Ubuntu????
when I connected to the L32 HDTV over the HDMI cable, picture came up, and I thought great, plug & play. But the title bar and taskbar were missing and I soon learned that this cheap Vizio TV has a native resolution of 1366x768 and simply upscales and chops off what it considers "overscan" when you drive it at the proper 720p 1280x720. To add to the problems, it doesn't report the correct EDID modes (look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see the probes or install and use the read-edid package) so 1366x768 isn't an option out of the box. I spent days mucking around with /etc/X11/xorg.conf with custom Modelines, strange options and copying confs from other threads, trying to get it working at 1366x768 or 1360x768 or 1368x768 (some variations seem to work for some people)
In the end, I didn't have to touch xorg.conf at all =) All I had to do was install the newer NVIDIA 195 drivers!!! Then you get the lovely Overscan Compensation slider in nvidia-settings, and all is well. First, you will have to apt-get remove the old drivers (probably -185 or -180). Install apt-show-versions for an easy way to do that. I had a bunch of junk, I just removed all packages that had nvidia-someversionnumber in the package name.

I'm running OS 11.2 with KDE4. I have to use the fglrx driver,as I could not get XBMC working with radeon or radeonhd. Well, fglrx works OK, however it does an automatic underscan on my LCD TV (connected via HDMI). So I reset this underscan to get rid of the black box around my desktop by issuing four commands in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc:
Code:
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,positionX:0
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,positionY:0
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,sizeX:1920
aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2i,sizeY:1080
Obviously, xinitrc will not be called after doing a suspend2ram, but fglrx decided to get me back to underscan. So I tried to set up a hook:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
hibernate)
# Suspend to disk
[code]....
I get the exact same error messages, if I try to run the four aticonfig commands with "sudo -s" - however, it works, if I run them as "su".So finally coming to the question: Is a hook running with sudo privileges? Can I get it to run as "real" "su" ? Any other ideas (short of creating a hook that's logging me off, then on again?)

We are trying to implement a firewall as kernel module through netfilter hooking (in C). In the following code we are allowing only TCP traffic. Source port number and destination port number are printed for every TCP packet. On execution, this code prints wrong port numbers. This is the first time we are using skb_transport_header function for accessing tcp headers.
We verified port numbers being printed by firewall through NFS traffic. On the same machine where firewall is running, we hosted an NFS server. An NFS client (from a different system) puts a file in exported mount. Firewall is able to capture packets for this file transfer but port numbers printed are wrong. It prints '69' for source portnumber (whereas ethereal capture shows it as 790) and prints '553231' for destination port (whereas for nfs version 4 it has to be 2049).

Running first upgrade after installing 9.10.
Currently on item "Configuring linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic" and the progress bar/terminal readout has not changed for an hour or so I'd say.

I'm tasked with creating a base image of ubuntu (one for server, one for workstation) that is locked down and has all the fluff taken out (naturally workstation will have more fluff left in it than server). Task list looks about like this:
1. Create list of deb packages "allowed", write script to list/uninstall everything else.
2. Hook the logins into either enterprise kerberos or Active Directory (yuck).
3. Write scripts to check things like setuid/setguid, disabling su, checking sudo permissions, configure iptables, etc.
4. Use a scanner to scan the system from outside the system (was thinking of using backtrace).
5. Custom-compile the kernel to strip out all the unneeded modules.
Before embarking on this awesome task I figured I'd check with you guys to see if you know of some resources that would make this task easier/quicker. I'm sure someone out there has already headed down this branch.
PS My boss *loves* ubuntu and isn't to keen on going with a deb (or other) distro that is already "security trimmed" without some serious convincing. I'm sure there are some out there, and if you want to pass along a couple for consideration, I'll check them out, but no guarantees he'll let me use it.
