Linux Ubuntu Intel Graphics - Make Intel Ironlake Desktop work with 1080p



For the record this is quoted from a ubuntu/xbmc-guide:
http://forum.xbmc.org/archive/index.php/t-86581.html
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=114368


When you use Intel graphics the driver is already installed with ubuntu, but it seems not to support more than 720p at first, but this will fix it:


I tested this on Ubuntu 11.10


For auto refresh rate to work, we need custom modlines defined in xorg.conf. The reason for this is that the available refresh rates don't get properly enumerated, despite that raw EDID data gets read properly. See bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32512
To create a proper xorg.conf, you have to check which output is used on your motherboard. To do this run:
xrandr -q 
When Xorg is running and check which port is plugged. Eg. HDMI1 or HDMI2 (in my case). The other task is to get modelines to your TV. Or just use mine. They suit for a normal 1080p full HD LCD or Plasma. Now create the xorg.conf:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Of course you have to change HDMI2 to your output value.

Galaxy Tab 7 GT-P1000 - install Gingerbread

1st here's a good full guide with descriptions that I've read through here . 2nd there another good guide here . Download Samsung Kies here . Download Odin 1.7 from XDA-developers  here . Download Firmware of chosen version here  (tsar3000) or here  (thegalaxytabforum). Now this is how you do it step by step: 1. Install Samsung Kies and connect your Tab If you haven't already installed Kies and tested that your tab can connect to your computer, you should do it now. This is mainly because Kies will take care of the needed drivers to connect to the computer. So go ahead and check if there's connection. 2. Put your tab into download mode Turn it off - then turn it on by holding power button and volume down button. You need this to work before you can go on. Should look like this: 3. Start Odin and connect the Galaxy Tab Just start Odin and connect the tab with USB. If it connects the ID:COM field will look something like this:  with the te...

XBMC library - sharing and securely saving library in a database / mysql

So first of all you should look at XBMC's official explanation as it's probably more presice than mine now: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Sync_multiple_libraries I will short it down to the basics: When you add a source in XBMC the library automatically stores itself on a local database called Sqlite on your local filesystem somewhere. Most people don't know about this and it will easily be lost when reinstalling. To not lose your library information that has been recorded over a long time you really should use a database like MySQL to store it. More databases is probably supported and equally set up. Library information is stuff like which episodes and movies have you seen, have you seen only half the movie etc. It also contains filepaths for each and every file. So all you need to watch your videos and listen to your music is stored here. It will also suit for sharing the information if you have several xbmc installations (I will refer to them as cl...

Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 - fix partitions

This little guide is written down after I managed to screw up my partitions on my Galaxy Tab while rooting it. Luckily I still had some space that allowed me to reinstall stock firmware through Odin. I wrote a blog post on how to do this here . Then I had to get a recovery bootloader that gave me root access in recovery mode and the parted tool. So if you have a booting Android but with fucked up partitions, try this. PS! Android will probably not boot after this. So know you will have to reinstall. And if you have something on your SDcard you should back it up, you probably need to remove all partitions if you have a real screw up. You can resize if you want to get advanced though. The guide is written for windows command line . 1. You device must be booted into Android at first. Install Samsung Kies and make sure it can connect to your PC, you need the drivers that comes with it. 2. Install ADB, it comes with Android SDK . When you have ADB you should test it. First set your...
