Resolution change manually on Ubuntu 10.04

  1. Show current setting
    $ xrandr -q
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
    VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm
    1024x768 60.0*
    800x600 60.3 56.2
    848x480 60.0
    640x480 59.9
  2. Get new mode line with new resolution
    $ cvt 1280 1024 60
    # 1280x1024 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.31M4) hsync: 63.67 kHz; pclk: 109.00 MHz
    Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
  3. Create a new mode for new resolution
    $ sudo xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
  4. Add the new mode
    $ sudo xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024_60.00"
  5. Check if new mode exist?
    $ xrandr -q
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
    VGA1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm
    1024x768 60.0*
    800x600 60.3 56.2
    848x480 60.0
    640x480 59.9
    1280x1024_60.00 59.9
  6. Use the new mode
    $ sudo xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1280x1024_60.00"
And you might get your new resolution you desired.

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i
