Software :: Aspect Ratio Scaling With Intel GPU's?

Mar 5, 2010

I have a friend who runs Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop that has a 16:9 screen (1366x768) and an Intel 4500m GPU. I'm trying to figure out how to get 4:3 resolutions to display in their proper aspect ratio (black bars on either side of the image), rather than stretching to fill the whole screen. This is mostly for playing older games in fullscreen. I've tried messing with xorg.conf and xrandr a bit, but I didn't have much luck.

General :: Set Aspect Ratio From 4:3 To 16:9?

Sep 25, 2010

I have a hdtv as a monitor hooked up to my desktop and this monitor is set to 1024X768 4:3. My monitor is suppose to be originally set 1024X768 16:9. In the nvidia X settings is not listed. So how can I change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9? My graphics card is: nvidia FX 5200 128MB (Ubuntu 10.04).

General :: Set Resolution With Non 1:1 Aspect Ratio?

Oct 8, 2009

My laptop (which is without screen) supports the following resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and also few other standard resolutions, but it doesn't support 800x480. I am using the laptop as a carputer and Xenarc 700TSV touchscreen as screen, which is of 16:9 ratio and the native resolution is 800x480.

Now the problem is my old laptop doesn't support 800x480 and It is not possible to upgrade the graphics card. The closest resolution supported by the laptop is 800x600 but the output is horizontally stretched. Is it possible to vertically stretched the desktop resolution so that when I use 800x600, it actually displays 800x480 pixels after vertical scaling? And when I see this 800x600 output in my Xenarc 7 inch screen, output is horizontally stretched and aspect ratio becomes 1:1 ?

Ubuntu :: Video Is At The Wrong Aspect Ratio

May 16, 2011

I have just installed 11.04 on an eeePC B602 connected to my LG TV over HDMI

All runs fine, except the video is at the wrong aspect ratio. (this results in everything looking too fat!

Running the Preferences->Monitor utility shows that I have 1024x768 resolution selected at 75Hz (good!, as that is what the TV manual recommends), but it says that the aspect ratio is 4:3, but I want 16:8

Running xrandr gives:

Interesting, the physical dimensions reported 828mm x 620mm which is 4:3, but I want 694x393mm (I measured it with a ruler), which is 16:9

The card is a Radeon HD3400 series

So, what do I do next, in the good-old-days, you could just edit xorg.conf, but it seems that this no longer exists.

I am guessing that there is an xrandr command to change it, but after reading the man page for a while and playing around, could not get it to work.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Aspect Ratio Error With Bombono?

Dec 17, 2010

I have a weird problem, which I suspect may have something to do with Ubuntu 10.10.

A while ago I started using a program called Imagination to create DVD slide shows, and Bombono to add menus etc. to the output from Imagination. Both programs worked like a dream. The weird part is, a test video I created using Imagination on 6/12/2010 can be imported into Bombono without any trouble. However, a new slide show I created today, cannot be imported - I get an error message from Bombono saying that the aspect ratio is 5:4, and not 4:3 or 16:9.

The only thing that has happened between 6/12/2010 and today (17/12/2010), is a routine Ubuntu 10.10 update. Does anyone know whether it is possible that a file needed by either Imagination or Bombono (or both) may have been changed by the update?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Force Aspect Ratio In Smpalyer?

Jan 11, 2011

I want Smplayer to display all videos in 16:9 aspect ratio.

I searched at google & found a solution here [URL]

Its working, with Gnome Mplayer but not with Smplayer.

Smplayer still displays all videos in their default ARs.

Suppose I arrange multiple videos in Smplayer's playlist I need to get up from my seat & change the AR, every time a new track starts playing. This is really tiresome.

Ubuntu :: Getting Correct Aspect Ratio From Graphics Tablet?

Feb 28, 2011

I've just got hold of a Trust 200 graphics tablet which has an aspect ratio of 4:3. My laptop screen is wider than this and when I have an external monitor plugged in my desktop is wider still.Is there a way to get the tablet to work with the correct aspect ratio? For instance is it possible in x.org to restrict the coordinates it can work within to those of my external 4:3 monitor?

Software :: Mplayer Aspect Ratio Radeonhd Driver?

Jun 17, 2009

I am trying to get video output with mplayer on a 64 bit hp laptop running the radeonhd driver. I feel in need of a little config magic. It throws up a square box in the middle of the 1200x800 screen. My config file simply says:

xy-3:2
utf8=yes
dec@harriet:$ mplayer dvd://2 - The video bit says
MPEG-PS file format detected.
VIDEO: MPEG2 720x576 (aspect 3) 25.000 fps 9800.0 kbps (1225.0 kbyte/s)

[code].....

mplayer -vf spp, scale also gets laughed at. There is also some conflict because the agp aperature is over 4 gigs and the bios/kernel recreate one at 2 gigs. This is a lousy video combination (ATI card under linux - 'nuff said).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: PiTiVi Rendered Video Has Wrong Aspect Ratio

May 8, 2010

I have a video edited in Pitivi. The source files were recorded from a VHS tape, so it's NTSC size (720x480).

Problem is that when I render it the output looks stretched vertically. When I play it in Totem Movie Player, the aspect ratio option can be changed from "Auto" to "4:3 TV" and then it looks correct.

How can I render the output file with a different aspect ratio?

I tried going into Project Settings and adjusting the Video Output height and width, but this doesn't change the aspect ratio. Also tried PAL and VGA instead of NTSC. What should I try next?

Using the version of Pitivi that comes with a fresh install of 10.04 LTS.

Software :: Anamorphic Image Editor - Convert / Resize The Aspect Ratio

Jan 2, 2010

I'm looking for a graphics editor which will convert/resize the aspect ratio of the anamorphic images I create in-camera to their appropriate size. I'm shooting my images on film and digital. My digital camera is a Sony H50 with native 4:3 format. I'm also shooting with a Hasselblad EL/M with the standard 6x6 format.

Using my 2x anamorphic head on either camera will produce the following results: Sony H50: 4:3 > 2.66:1 (8:3) Hasselblad EL/M: 6x6 > 12x6. We're easily talking about 48"x24" or 60"x30" prints here folks! So I need to know which programs in Linux will give me the results I'm looking for.

Fedora :: Cannot Add Screen Resolutions (16:9 Ratio)

Apr 29, 2011

I'm fairly new to Fedora. I am using F14, on a brand new laptop. The LCD screen needs to be matched with a 16:9 ratio, or it stretches everything out. Unfortunately F14 only comes offering three options... none of which are 16:9. Is there an easy way for me to add a 16:9 ratio to my display settings? Does it matter that I am running in low graphics mode?..... it's the only way the liveCd would install.

Fedora :: 13 - CPU Not Scaling Frequency?

Jun 16, 2010

I am not entirely convinced that my CPU is actually changing frequency as it is meant to. It sometimes changes frequency, but most of the time it is stuck on 800MHz even when doing cpu intensive tasks. Here is information that may or may not be of help:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor: 0
vendor_id: GenuineIntel

[code]....

I notice here that it says between 800 and 800, but does that mean it is currently at 800, or can only be 800.

Ubuntu :: Disable CPU Scaling Whenever Want?

Jun 15, 2010

I want to be able to disable CPU scaling, whenever I want. The reason is that I run some timing tests, and I want the results to be reproducable (ie the CPU running at the same frequency). I have tried the following on 9.10 and 10.04 (both amd64). I use rcconfig to disable "on demand" (from [URL] but then when I use cpufreq-info tool I get:

Debian :: CPU Scaling Not Working?

May 30, 2010

In order to save power and to cool down my Debian system a little bit, I installed cpufregs the other day and changed it the cpu gonever to on_demand.

Well I came back to the box today and powertop tells me that the cpu has been running at 2.66ghz (max freq) for 99/99% of the time.

Running cpufreq says this: Code: analyzing CPU 0:
driver: p4-clockmod
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.3 On Intel Core I5 With Integrated Graphics + Intel H55 Express Chipset

Aug 18, 2010

! I'm thinking of buying a corei5-660 on a motherboard with an Intel H55 Express Chipset. Does anyone know if it's fully compatible with OpenSUSE 11.3? I mean video (that comes from the processor, not an off-board PCI), audio (HD Audio), networking (Intel� 82578DC Gigabit), SATA Controller, USB, etc. I've tried to google but didn't find much info so I wonder if anyone is using or knows where I can find more info about it...

I have found this thread on the forums about the H55 chipset: Core i3 Intel Clarkdale graphic controller problem But the problems were facing on 11.2, I don't know about 11.3...

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Intel HD Graphics (Intel Core I3) With Suse 11.3 - Poor Resolution

Jan 2, 2011

I've installed Suse linux 11.3 (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5) on my brand new computer HP all in one 5130. Everything worked incredibly well : Wifi, wireless keyboard and mouse, sound, webcam.. There is only one remaining issue : I get a very poor resolution (1280x1024) instead of the 1920x1080 allowed by the screen. The graphic card is an intel chipset (HD graphics) integrated to an intel core i3 CPU. Here is (part of) the X11.org log :

Ubuntu :: CPU Frequency Scaling Not Working

Jan 17, 2010

I have the CPU frequency scaling applet in the panel and it worked fine when I had 8.10 but now that I'm using Karmic, I cant get it to work correctly!

It won't change the speed to what I tell it to. I click on a different speed and it does nothing.

The CPU spins too slowly and videos lag or it spins at full speed and overheats even though I have nothing open! I really need to be able to adjust it.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - BIOS Does Not Support CPU Scaling

Jun 26, 2010

I've been trying to get lucid to work on my gateway netbook. The major problem I've seen is that it would overheat (to about 63 C or a little higher, and then the display would go crazy and crash. My BIOS doesn't support cpu scaling. Somewhere in a google search, someone mentioned the 2.6.34 kernel. I had no ideal what I was doing, and I installed this kernel. (could not install headers -- a dependency issue I didn't understand). Tried it, and it booted.

Saw some errors, like timer or something not found and something about a soft reset. However, it boots, and it works, and the temperature is much better (at least for the last 42 minutes: I've not been able to run it that long before). Are those errors likely to cause problems? Are there any issues I should be aware of using a non-standard kernel like this? I am dual booting with 9.10, which works well, and all my serious work is on the 9.10 partitions.

HID compliant mouse
Synaptics PS/2 Port touchPad
Generic PnP Monitor
Atheros AR5B95 Wireless Network Adapter
Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
AMD Athlon(tm) Processor L110
Realtgek High Definition Audio
Microsoft iSCISI Initator
Gateway LT3103u

As I write, temp is still at 56, but I am getting some intermittent display problems. Should I give up on lucid?
