800x600 on A1200 with 1084S?
« on: February 19, 2007, 02:19:52 PM »
Hi!. An Amiga newbie needs help! I've got an A1200 with Blizzard expansion (68030) and 32 MB. I'm planning do to some C programming (gcc + CubicIDE). And I need 800x600, but I only managed to get 640x400 (or so, I don't remember now)
Do I need a screen controller? (excuse me if don't use the right terminology, you know, controller , device, kernel mod, ...:-?). In aminet, where?
Or it's simply impossible to get 800x600 without a VGA card for Amiga or a better monitor?
Thanks in advance.

It's not possible.

You can get 800x600 interlaced with VGA monitor, however.

None of which are possible with 1084S.

I'm not sure if these monitors works with a 1084S monitor, but i remember that some years ago i used an Euro monitor, and worked on my 1084 monitor, maybe it was smaller than 800x600 but it worked.

Searching 1084 on aminet i found this:

@Tomas

DblPAL != PAL

DblPAL requires a multisync monitor. 1084S isn't one.

They most definitely do not.

"OverRes" is bog standard overscan. Okay, it helps a bit.

Thanks, Piru.
I will try in a couple days these drivers on my 1084s. If I'm successful, I'll leave a post.
