Title: HighGFX 40.6 released
Post by: Ratte on September 10, 2008, 12:14:54 PM

HighGFX is a monitordriver for ECS/AGA-screenmodes up to 1024x768.

Changes from HighGFX 40.5 to HighGFX 40.6
- higher AGA frequencies (54 Hz 22,24 kHz  ->  55 Hz 22,22 kHz)
- higher ECS frequencies (50 Hz 20,25 kHz  ->  54 Hz 21,81 kHz)
- hopefully all known bugs are fixed



You need a good display or a CompServ AGA flickerfixer for the A4000.
On the A1200 you need a good display or the new Indivison AGA flickerfixer.

Supported displays without flickerfixer:

Commodore 1960
Commodore 21inch FST

Great.  Now I just need a version of the Indivision for the A4000.

Out of interest, does it allow 1024x768 ECS screens using non-AGA SDFFs such as the ScanMagic internal?

HighGFX has the same restrictions like Super72.
Some SD/FF came with a passthrough for ECS/AGA modes.
But most of them only supports NTSC/PAL modes (without SuperHires)!

@ Ratte:

Thanks.  I'll give it a go when I get a chance and see what happens.  :-)

Can I use this HighGFX monitor device with Scala ??

I have never worked with Scala.
Does it support different screenmodes?

HighGFX is equal to all other screenmodes.
(DblPAL, DblNTSC, Super72, MultiScan, Euro ....)
You can select HighGFX in all normal screenmode-requesters.
It only a new different screenmode.

@ratte:

Thanks for the answer; I'll give it a try!

PS: Is it feasible to add Genlock support in a future version ?

There will be no genlock-support.
This mode is to different from NTSC/PAL.
