Power Macintosh G3 with dual monitors high resolution

I hope this info will help someone wanted to run two large screens monitors (4:3) on the Power Macintosh G3 Beige minitour. My results resonance of an earlier post that I started, which was DVI PCI Card/s for G3 minitour, but all ended up as I felt the need of a new subject header.

It seems that nobody had actually done what I was trying to do, there was no guarantee it was possible. However, several of you gave some excellent suggestions to try and you all are help and many more read and experiment, I "cracked the nut.

So, I wanted to point out here know how it worked, so that anyone wishing to run two monitors to modern flat screen with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 on a Beige G3 minitour could do without having to go through what I had to. I guess that would apply to the version of office as well, but not sure.

The first thing to know is that, according to the specifications of apple, the machine MUST have the 333 MHz motherboard, as something that less will take NOT supported above resolution 1280.

Second, I never two screens connected to both VGA cards (I got two of them in the PCI slots). It was suggested I zap the PRAM, but that does not work.

So, using the DB15 video port as the monitor 1 factory, I had to have a VGA adapter. I tried 3 different Mac to VGA adptrs., and no matter how I set the dip-switch, it wouldn't work. Suddenly something occurred to me. If the G3 (333 MHz) would support 1600 and the monitor would support 1600, why do we need switches. Just adapt the mounting.

So, I bought a DB15 VGA right adpt. with no switch just to adapt the VGA cable connection. Here's the interesting thing. After that I started and got on the desk, my HR monitor (attached to the VGA PCI card) was 1600, but LH monitor has NOT been set to 1600. So, I went to the CP monitors to see if he has shown as available. It IS there, but in italics, which normally means is not available. Just to smile and laugh, I decided to click on it anyway, and when I did, a window come indicating that I had chosen to change screen resolutions and confirm my choice. What to lose, right? So, I clicked on OK and, lo and behold, it changed to 1600 x 1200. Now, the two screens are in 1600 x 1200, whenever I start. I was blown away. Either way, monitors that I chose were fantastic... Dell UltraSharp 2007FPb (Ratio 4:3).

If it helps one person, I will be happy.

Tom's excellent work, thanks for the report, I wondered what happened.

    The default resolution and "recommended" for my two monitors lenovo is 1920 x 1080. I have a new system and I tried for a few weeks now to something to work with screen resolution and third-party apps. I am under W7 Pro right now, but will soon be getting to 10.

    The high resolution is not a problem in 7 with any Microsoft stuff. With the help of a custom of the DPI setting takes care of all the native stuff. Some third-party applications can be set as well. For example, Corel Photo Paint X 7 has bars of detachable command with command icons that can be set to small, medium or large. When the size of the icon is changed, the size of the font adjusts accordingly and it is perfectly feasible, acknowledging the icons or by reading the text. It is perfect for this dual screen system and works like a charm.

    However, most of other software companies are not quite as respectful of their clients. Bryce, formerly owned by Corel, but now DAZ despicable, is not removable toolbars and there is no options available to adjust the sizes of icons in order. Even if preferences to provide an engaging, multiple monitor option not to release the toolbars or increase the font size. It only opens the Bryce "Labs" in the second monitor in a position at the end of the dialog box, half of the Cup.

    It also applies even in a top of the range of applications such as VIEW and Smith Micro, Poser Pro. They present menus and toolbar icons that are so tiny, it is necessary to use the Magnifier Microsoft to make and which isn't real solution when your work with graphics programs. It's incredibly awkward.

    My old system, running XP Pro, SP3, which I always put in place and operational, has a screen resolution of 1280 X 768, and it displays all the software of third party very well. If I try to use this resolution with W7 and these monitors high resolution, I get a crushed image down and half on the screen which is useless. I can read everything very well, but all images are short and fat! If it was possible to type values for the height and width, using an infinite scale rather than the fixed scale that is provided by the slider over, nicked in W7, it would be possible to find a combination that worked. Then, once the wreck was set for third party stuff, the custom DPI settings Windows could take care of the native stuff.

    I had an Oracle VirtualBox running for awhile and loaded the third of things out there and it worked for awhile but it did not offer the ability double screen and, in any case, after awhile it started to get really uptight and I finally just had to get rid of.

    Really, I would be much happier if I could just load XP Pro on this machine and do run as quickly as things that made to run on it. The only reason why I got a new system was the need for more speed and muscle. But if I can't use my favorite, applications worth it?

    Is there no workaround solution that will make it possible to adjust the resolution so that the third-party applications are fully functional using all the space on the screen?

    Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and respond.

    Since no one answered I'll provide the solution myself. Doing right thing 'upgrade' to Windows 10 has this problem of resolution.

    Other than that, getting W10 to work even at halfway was a nightmare.

  • Dedicated GPU will accelerate LR4 to drive a monitor high resolution?

    I plan to order new custom made Win7 Office based on i7 3770K and Asus P8Z77 mobo. The monitor will be wide range 27 "with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. I am aware of the complications caused by these monitors, but decided to choose.

    My main and most demanding application for this office will be LR4 (no CS6, games, videos, etc.). To optimize its performance I'll have 16 MB of RAM, a second SSD and SSD for the OS and LR4 app cache, previews and catalogues + 2 TB HDD for storage of the image.

    Current version LR4.3 is always claimed 1) be slow in the conduct of monitors high resolution and 2) not to use the GPU effectively.

    Mobo Asus with 3770 K/HD4000 is specified to be able to drive a monitor with above resolution through its DisplayPort. However, LR4 would be faster if I would add a decent dedicated GPU for the monitor?

    In which case the answer is no, would be an addition of the smaller second monitor (1920 x 1080 max resolution) above Set up change the situation and make a dedicated GPU beneficiary? Basically Asus mobo 3770 K/HD4000 by specifications can also simultaneously drive two monitors with above resolution. However, my concern is slow LR4...

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello.

    I have a Portege R930 (pt331a-01w001) running Windows 7. All about the laptop works as expected, however, when I connect the laptop on a screen high resolution (2560 x 1440) via the HDMI port, I get a blue screen of death.
    Can I use the HDMI port to connect my 1080 p LCD TV and my monitor to work which is a lower resolution and it works well.

    I tried several cables and different monitors of the same resolution.

    If anyone can help?

    Hello

    Simply said: the laptop not breaks down using external monitor with a less than 2560 x 1440 resolution. Right?

    Find your laptop model.

  • Cursor becomes very small on W550S with a display high resolution (2880 x 1620)

    I have a W550S with a disply 2880 x 1620 running Windows 10. Once logged in, after a few minutes, the mouse pointer becomes very small, about 1/2 the size of the regular cursor. I use 200% scaling (recommended for high resolution viewing). I can restore the normal size pointer by selecting under the mouse settings, but finally it switches back on about 1/2 size.

    It seems that Windows 'forget' that she runs at 200% scale and turns again to the normal scale of 100% of IPR.

    Does anyone else have this problem? It is a problem because when she becomes so tiny I can't often found on the screen.

    Oh and I sometimes run with an external monitor-normal DPI connected to the laptop. I think the problem started when I plugged the external monitor, but it happens even if I do not have the external monitor connected.

    Thanks in advance,

    I took the liberty to do a little research on the ASUS HD 6450 map.  Are - what you got to get the ASUS HD6450 silent and low GPU or the bigger one with the fan?  It might be possible that those silent will not support Eyefinity technology since it was modeled for the home theater PC use.

    I noticed that the model with the fan on the radiator mentions he is compatible Eyefinity, while the silent model does not work, but it allows you to choose between a VGA, DVI or HDMI port, but do not use them simultaneously.

  • Photoshop CS5 menu text microscopic! (monitor high resolution)

    Hello

    You do not know if I made the right choice or not, but I've owned a copy of Photoshop CS5 Extended for a period of time. Honestly, as a photographer passionate home / amateur, it is more than enough for me - don't know what who exactly I am losers 'full cloud"or opt for the basic option flat by but I tell myself that I already own a license for a product which is already WAY above my skill level, why spend more money.

    Just replaced my machine and the new has come up with a new NVidia Quadro card turn off the true 4K via a DisplayPort connection, and I invested in a monitor Eizo of 4K (4096 x 2160) complete which honestly, is beautiful.

    HOWEVER... I installed Photoshop and the menu items are microscopic. So small I have to scan the screen to read. in 'Preferences', I already put the size of the font of the user interface of 'big' well I noticed I put 'small' or 'large' makes no difference. The drop down menus are more readable (OK, actually), it's the top-level menus by default (the Ribbon on the top bars of tools and panels of rights, etc.) which are too small to use comfortably.

    I am running Windows 10 Pro on a screen high resolution. What is a conflict between the police-scaling of the APP (that I bought when Windows 7 is the current MS OS) and application? Or something else?

    FYI, all my other apps I use respond very well the text scaling of Windows settings. I have the native resolution of 4096 x 2160 value and the scaling of text set to 175%.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    Thanks guys,.

    Alastair

    If you use Windows, you really need a CC subscription to fully support high DPI screens.  The photography is a trivial $10 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom and a ton of items of value such as TypeKit, libraries (fully interactive with the Adobe Mobile applications) and some very cool new features that are continually being added to and updated.  In addition, you should never took native support for new cameras.

  • Problem with dual monitors since upgrade to W7

    I am under W7 Enterprise32 bit with dual display (monitors) - a Lenovo L193pC (primary) and a Dell E177FP (secondary).

    Since the upgrade to W7, I noticed that if I leave my PC unattended and locked for a long time (30 minutes and more), when I get back to him, I lost contact with my main screen: the monitor is on, but the screen is black.  I can only see the secondary display and windows cannot be moved from the second screen to the primary.  All I can do is to sign using the secondary screen, near everything I opened down and restart the PC.

    I use a set of chips Intel G41 Express and a Microsft v6.1.7600.16385 driver for the primary monitor.

    I noticed a few people reporting flickering monitors in a similar situation, but not quite the same thing as what I mean...

    Anyone got any ideas how I can stop what is happening?  Is - this driver related?

    Just to let you know that I solved this now.

    It wasn't a driver issue, it was a computer setting.

    When I put the PC display never sleep and the computer to sleep never it solved the problem.

  • Photoshop with computer laptop high resolution

    Then I use a laptop with high DPI, I am well aware of the two temporary solutions (change interface user scaling in Photoshop and creating the manifest file).
    The problem with the help of the manifest file is that the size of the brush does not have the slider (slider is smaller than the actual brush size.

    Now my problem is that the bridge has the settings to change the scale of the user interface, so now the fonts are very small. I use the manifest for her file, but then any brush I use in the bridge is a bit useless.

    My last go to the solution is to get off my resolution on my computer settings, but that completely defeat the point of having a laptop at high DPI screen.

    Someone has a new update/solution to this problem?

    Thank you!

    It is one of temporary solutions, however, there is one major flaw with this question: the size of the brush cursor does not match the size of the brush, that is a very significant flaw. The cursor would be less than the brush actually, so if you're trying to paint in the lines, it will not be easy.

  • Monitor high resolution

    I use Photoshop CC and just bought a 3K monitor.  After a lot of research to find out why scale correctly Photoshop, I concluded that Adobe CC products aren't aware of DPI.  Photoshop is so tiny that it is completely useless and any attempt to change the size using the options built into Windows is a very messy interface.

    I found a solution that is to write the code obvious to fool the program when it starts.  Not the most desirable solution.  Is anyone aware of a solution to this problem, or the State of any solution that might work on Adobe?
