I proposed on the Picasso96 ML to use the Sel DF3 signal, by creating the
proper function inside the RTG software, to control an external switcher.
They answered me (Tobias, a P96 developer) that both CyberGFX and P96 have
such a function but realized in a more clever way: a sync signal (V or H) is
set to a costant voltage level when an Amiga native screen becomes frontmost.

But this system is depending on the chipset used by the board: normally all
those support DPMS are able to set the sync signals this way.


Hmmm... I still see the picture that was left on my CV-PPC when I switch to PAL, but if the sync-signals were manipulated, shouldn't the monitor 'complain' (as in switch to power saving mode)?
