Title: 800x600 in ShapeShifter = garbled screen
Post by: motorollin on May 31, 2006, 06:00:07 PM

640x480 is a bit too small for my liking, and 1024x768 is extremely slow. So I thought I would try 800x600. The screenmode works when I test it in screenmode prefs, but if I try to use it for ShapeShifter the display is all corrupt, and though I can see that there is something on the screen, it is impossible to use. I find this strange as the screenmode does work in Workbench!

Any ideas?

Just a guess: 800 is not multiple of 64, and thus the display code b0rks.

Try creating a custom screenmode of size 832 x 624 for example.

800x600 works here, though only at 8bit depth.

Hmmm weird. Well it turns out the slowness was not caused by the resolution, but the colour depth. 640x480x32 was just as slow as 1024x768x32. So I created a 1024x768x8 screenmode and it works in 1024x768, and it's really fast :-D
