- i have a brand new 2012 mac mini running mountain lion that's connected to an lg 1080p flat screen via hdmi.  

- i have a fullscreen app that launches using cronnix at a certain time of the day.  

  - if my tv is on, everything works great, however,

  - if my tv is off, and i turn it on after the app has launched, it's off centered (up and to the left) so that the app is not covering the bottom and right part of the screen.  it appears to still be 1920x1080 and just not centered, but i'm not sure. i tried frame.setLocation(0,0) and frame.setBounds(0,0,1920,1080) without success.

i'm thinking this is a hardware issue and something about connecting to the lg flatscreen, as i can set my display settings to "scaled", "1080p", turn the tv off, and then turn it back on and the computer is back to "best for built-in display".  

after digging around some it appears to be an EDID issue, but i don't know much about EDID.  it does seem that this happens with some projectors/screens and not others. i'm thinking i may try running the thunderbolt -> VGA cable instead of hdmi. does anyone have any other ideas? the best solution i can find at the moment is something like this: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005

context: running a fullscreen application on a 2012 mac mini with mountain lion that i need to be able to shut down and start up on a regular schedule for an art installation.  processing version 1.5.1.

i have the scheduling figured out... just added the processing app as one of my startup applications and set a computer startup / shutdown schedule in the energy settings.  the app launches fine, however when it does, the menu bar across the top with the    (apple logo)    Finder     File      etc. stays on screen.

pre mountain lion, my work around was to use the robot class to just move the mouse from the top left corner of the screen <  http://wiki.processing.org/w/Robot_class > , but now it doesn't seem like that movement even registers unless i physically touch the mouse pad.  

does anyone have a solution to this?

thanks, hightop

processing 2.0a4 + kinect runs fine in processing (and actually looks to possibly solve the leak), but the exported application doesn't seem to be getting info from the kinect (just runs a grey screen).  shiffman's point cloud example will demo this if you want to try.  wondering if there's a missing file from the package?  thanks.

  i've seen this exception discussed before in the forum, but i think this is a unique situation?...

i'm exhibiting an interactive work and consistently getting a crash at ~4 hours into running my processing app. i'm using a kinect camera with shiffman's library to capture motion and optical flow to translate that movement into the system.  

the application is running on a brand new mac mini (Model: Macmini5,2, Intel Core i5, 2.5 GHz, 4 GB)  with lion and the latest installation of java, everything's updated.  it runs great and everything's perfect for the first 4 hours and then it just crashes with an unexpectedly quit message and the java error report of

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)

Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000

i think the biggest hint is that in the previous version that i had working fine at 8hours+ i was using frameRate(30) in setup(), and now i'm not using frameRate() at all because it made the movement more fluid.  thought maybe this was causing a memory leak, but added in a

and it still crashed.  for people that get this error, how can you figure out what the problem is?

any ideas on what might be going on here?  i have the full error log if that helps.  thanks in advance...
