winuae screenmode setting

[Aledt]

trying to reincarnate my old miggy by using its old drive in my pc under uae (via a usb external drive thingymyjig)

got it booting up, had to remove some of the old stuff (gfx card drivers and soundcard drivers) to get it booting happily and now its all going well. Loaded in the uaegfx drivers for p96 and got a nice full colour representation of my old wb up but only in 640 width resolution.

Whenever i try a different resolution it just hangs up, tried 800 and 1024 resolutions and cant get either to go, just changes to that screenmode and then stops reponding before drawing the screen.

Any ideas how to cure this?

also winuae doenst seem to save my setting do i have to set them all up again every time (for hardware, disks, etc.)
cheers.

yeah, ive set it to 32mb (which should surely be more than enough?)

ive deleted all the old modes picasso4 modes from p96mode prefs, do i need to change anything in pvs too? still not working.

it changes to the new resolution and the mouse pointer changes to a clock and then it just stops.

bah, ok i got it working, deleted the old screenmode.prefs and  set it up to start in 1024 mode.

redrawing reaction guis seems painfully slow, mui guis draw up fine, but anything using reaction seems to draw everything incredibly slowly, also the original utilities/clock takes ages to draw, is this just a "feature" of uae or is there a setting im missing somewhere? i was expecting it to be wquicker than my old 040 system.

fair enough, guess ill have to go change all the reaction prefs to boring old plain colours.

Still have that probvlem with changing screenmodes, seems to hang whenever switching to a different p96 mode (eg when an app tries to open a new screen).

no, im not fussed about pal resolutions, havent used them in years anyway, winuae starts in a pal resolution fine anyway. It then switches to fullscreen (1024) when WB loads because its using the uaegfx driver for picasso96. Its when the amigas screenmode changes within uae that it hangs.
