Rammjet Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I added Quartz Simple to my startup list but I still need to disable Beam Sync every time. Isnt there a way with Automator or with an applescript to have it done autmaticaly? because I really notice the difference In Terminal, just type this command and it is disabled for all reboots: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11550-how-to-enable-quartz-2d-extreme-and-disable-beamsync/page/2/#findComment-136967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zante Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 After doing sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0 is there any way to get BeamSync back?

graphic Design Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Why when I open Quartzsimple and click in tool >>> I can not use Quartz 2D Extreme because It said that "Quartz 2D Extreme not supported"?

xRAFAx Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I changed the "deferredUpdates 1" to "deferredUpdates 0" but it does nothing for me... When I open the plist I see "deferredUpdates 0" but when I reboot the BeamSync remains loaded... The only way for me was put quartzdebug on startup and disabe manually the beamsync every time I reboot my PC... Sorry, my english is so so... but I think is understandable ^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11550-how-to-enable-quartz-2d-extreme-and-disable-beamsync/page/2/#findComment-180600 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 where do find QuartzDebug program at . You want QuartzSimple. Follow the QE2D link in my sig (which takes you back to posting #1 of this thread!). Be sure to Force-Quit the program or it will undo your setting when it closes.

Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 where do i get Quartz Debug so i can copy it to my applications folder If you are referring to this: 1. Download QuartzSimple (Mirrored on my website, Click Here)2. Copy Quartz Debuug to your Applications Folder and open it There is a typo there. You download QuartzSimple. Then you copy QuartzSimple to your Applications folder. However, to get Quartz Debug: Go to Apple Developer site: http://developer.apple.com Sign up as the lowest level developer - it's free. Download the XCode development environment (around 900 MB). Then either install the whole thing, or use Pacifist (download from Charlessoft) to examine the PKG installer file and extract the Quartz Debug tool from one of the folders like Apps or Utilities or Tools.

tha_toadman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 ok rammjet, so i had a fresh install of 10.4.6 (JaS) and I even copied and pasted your line directly into the terminal and when I rebooted, no Quartz 2D Extreme. I didn't install 10.4.7 (I could though) but that didn't work for me...any other ideas? I'll keep looking around and if I find something, I'll mention it here.

Rammjet Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 The terminal command: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0 is for disabling BeamSync. This speeds up performance with LCD monitors. To enable QE2D, you should run QuartzSimple, enable Quartz Extreme 2D and then Force Quit QuartzSimple. If you simply quit QuartzSimple, it will disable QE2D as it quits. See the first posting of this thread. There is an edit to be made to the windowserver.plist to enable QE2D, but I don't know it off the top of my head.

tha_toadman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 ...is for disabling BeamSync. This speeds up performance with LCD monitors. ohh ok. I was under the impression that this was for Q2DE. I'll keep looking for that one. thanks. and thanks for that info, TopazBar. I'll have to try those out later today.

Rammjet Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I was under the impression that this was for Q2DE. I'll keep looking for that one No need to look. TopazBar gave you the command for QE2D. Or use QuartzSimple. Summary: - To enable Quartz Extreme 2D, use QuartzSimple or type the following in Terminal: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Quartz2DExtremeEnabled true (to disable it, change "true" to "false") - To disable BeamSync (a speed improvement for systems with LCD monitors) use QuartzSimple or type in Terminal: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Compositor -dict deferredUpdates 0 (to re-enable it, change "0" to "1") To download and use QuartzSimple, see the first posting of this thread.

tha_toadman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 i saw that - thanks again to you both! small problem though...i tried sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Quartz2DExtremeEnabled true ...and it pooched my system...upon boot, there was a blue background and a spinning logo in the middle of the screen....wouldn't go away. could it possibly be 'yes' instead of 'true'? the reason i ask is last night i tried a shareware plist pro editor and i almost swore it said 'yes' or 'no' instead of 'true' and 'false'...?

tha_toadman Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 the commands still aren't working for me. i think i'll use the QuartzSimple 'Force Quit' method instead but i do believe the beamsync is working though...haven't used XBench to test it yet.

Rammjet Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Careful - running QuartzSimple might reset your beamsync... sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver Quartz2DExtremeEnabled true could it possibly be 'yes' instead of 'true'? Here is a posting with the contents of the windowserver.plist displayed. At the bottom you see it set to its default setting of "false": http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=133095 It might give you fits if you aren't QE2D capable...

tha_toadman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I got it working now. I ran QuartzSimple and 'forced quit' - after running XBench...I'm currently running at 120.08 so all is well.

spikeh Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 By using the two code methods, does this mean BeamSync is permanently disabled and QE2D will always be on?

Rammjet Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 By using the two code methods, does this mean BeamSync is permanently disabled and QE2D will always be on? Yes, the "defaults write" command changes the value in the corresponding plists that get read by the system.
