Hello all.
I installed an Indivision AGA MK2 in my revision 2B A1200 a while back, and I've had a couple issues ever since. PAL screen modes look amazing with no issues at all, but NTSC modes flicker about once or twice every second. The glitches are each usually less than a frame long in time (about 2/3 of the screen flashes darker for a frame, then the image returns to normal until the next glitch).
I'm using the analog RGBHV output connections off the video output ribbon cable into a 15" Dell VGA monitor, which didn't have any issues with any other source or scan doubler. I don't recall if the DVI-D component of the output does the same thing.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?
Also, the 1024x768 HighGFX driver looks great for a little while, but after 5-10 minutes, glitches start appearing around high-contrast edges like window borders and icons, occasionally accompanied by horizontal lines that flicker on and off. I'm thinking this might be overheating and/or maybe a failing capacitor or two, but I thought I'd mention it to see if there are any suggestions out there. The NTSC mode issue is more of an annoyance, since I never run any software but the Workbench in HighGFX.
Some other notes worth mentioning:
This motherboard came out of a Magicbox Alphagen NTSC television character generator, which used slightly modified A1200s as their base platforms. This is a UK release board, but it has an NTSC composite video encoder installed in place of the PAL one (presumably, as the composite video output only works in NTSC screen modes). I doubt the encoder is causing a problem, and the NTSC output is flawless from the 23-pin RGB output to a 1084. Just thought I'd mention it.
Thanks in advance,
–Tom
