Yep at last, personally I'm waiting for the next version which should have a test changes button
-
I have used it. And it grealy improved my Indivision. Before the picture was to one side of the monitor. After applying the standard settings it shows sharp and clearly in the middle. But as NovaCoder writes it is still not the most intuitive/userfriendly tool :-)
-
Anyone worked out how to remove the scanlines when playing WHDLoad games?
Prefer the sharper look :-(
Other than that workbench fills the entire monitor now and yes things are centered!!
-
Also noticed that if I use a VGA adapter output comes out blue no matter what settings I use.
Not too worried as I have been using DVI on my monitor.

@Lurch
Take only ”lines” instead of lines 25%,50% or 75%. That worked here. I also applied this on both pal and ntsc. For pal interlaced i turned lines off.
@AAACHIPSET
I think I solved that by going into all the screen modes in pal and ntsc and then there, trim the overscan an save.
-
Dumb question but does this work with Indivision ECS? Not that I have any problems with mine, or the current tool (think it's version 0.90 or something that I've got), just always like having more settings to play around with, LOL. ;)

Will give that a go cicero :-)
@ Oldsmobile_Mike - No just for the indi mk2 :-)
-
Meh can't get the scanlines to go away LOL. Not the easiest to use tool, almost thought I was toast when I didn't get a picture coming up.
First rule of thumb don't panic when it comes to Amiga gear. But have it all back up again, WB looks fantastic, but still have scanlines.
-
Neat! I just rearranged the Mancave and got the A4000T up and running with this beauty in it.
Now to get the innerwebz working in it so I can download the tool...
-
Best benefit is having the entire monitor with no black bars in Workbench. It's also fixed my corrupt screen that I seem to get when using ibrowse for long periods of time.
Not sure why it only does it with ibrowse, but the problem is now gone :-)
Games look great, only downside is the scanlines. I prefer it without on some games, will have another play when I get time, but coming together nicely.
Thanks Jen's look forward to more updates :-)

I second this question. :)

No, doesn't work with the Indi ECS :-)

Durn! Ah well, we'll get some love eventually. It does work mostly fine right now, its just a little goofy on certain resolutions.

Yeah but then my A500 can't go to high it's a little under powered so haven't had that issue. I do like being able to play Doom with the indi ecs. I'm only hoping that now we have some movement on the AGA MK2 that the same drivers will be made available for it.
-
Great stuff ! Roll on Graffitti mode!
-
Looks like Im stuck with the scanlines, remove them and the picture gets squashed LOL.
Nevermind, its only a couple of games that look bad, gave up playing around with the config tool.
Was getting no where.
-
Okay so if you switch to 25% lines apply, then switch back to lines apply it removes the scanlines.
Got there in the end :-)
-
I didn't get it at first. How could lines mean no lines. Jens will probably rename lines to double height and rename the other to scanlines 25% an so on. I cant believe I actually was a bit helpful here. :)
-
@cicero790 - Thanks for the tip was a lot of help.
A very confusing tool, As no lines gives you lines and vice versa ;-)
I'm hoping he does change the wording.
-
This is really great we finally have this config tool for Indi MK2, but I have one slight problem. My configuration is A1200 / 030 / MK2 / WB3.1 + SCALOS 1.2d. I'm having trouble to get HighGFX modes appear on DisplayMode pefs tool. Because of that, I can't get this thing show proper 1024x728 mode. How can I add this mode to prefs program?
I have other A1200 setup with quite same HW/SW , except Indi MK1 and here is no problem. I'm using HighGFX Super -Hi Res Laced setup on 17" ViewSonic monitor.
I would like to have the very same result with MK2, so help would be greatly appreciated.
-
I'm running HighGFX 1024x768, did nothing special. Installed the indi config tool and then ran it from prefs and the option was listed.

Ok maybe I didn't install it properly at all. I just copied and executed commands on shell prompt from install script file one line at a time. I missed something?
-
New version out now, and this time it has a test mode button :)

Anything else added?
-
So it reflashs it again and my screen is now a little bit off to the right. Should have stuck with the previous tool.

Not sure? Extracted the file to a folder and then ran the install script from shell and it did everything for me.
-
I didn't get that far with the new config tool either, I managed to get some screen modes looking much better but it also introduced some nasty graphical glitches for other screen modes.
I'll try and fiddle a bit more with the config tool to fix up these new glitches, otherwise I might just throw it in the bin and find an old 10" 15hz CRT instead.

Prefer the previous version it was bang on. Plus not sure about the test option as it reflashed the indi when I clicked test not what I was expecting.
-
After playing around with the indi tool it's now looking great. No graphic corruption, and it's very crisp.
Happy customer now :-)

I haven't tried the tool yet, but I am wondering whether I can use it to fix my Indivision AGA Mk2 when running Linux.
Whenever I boot into Linux, the Indivision generates an output signal over VGA that my monitor cannot deal with.
Did anyone have similar problems and where able to solve them?
Adrian

Could adjust the resolution you are trying to do with the config tool.
At the moment I'm getting that with Alien Bash 2 as it uses a higher res, still can't get it to display right.

I think your best bet would be to either:
a) boot up in Workbench and set the resolution to the same parameters as you're Linux setup and then use the config tool.
or
b) Use native output on Linux and adjust the resolution to one of the comparable modes of the Indivision.
Take this with a grain of salt because I haven't been able to use it yet on my setup yet...
-
Argh just when I thought I was winning can't get alien bash 2 or disposable hero working. Was working :-(
When it goes to change resolution on both games the monitor goes into power saving mode, even if I reset it still nothing on the monitor have to turn the Amiga completely off.
The battle continues.

I think your best bet would be to either:
a) boot up in Workbench and set the resolution to the same parameters as you're Linux setup and then use the config tool.
The problem is that I currently don't know what mode is generated once the Linux kernel boots. Mind, it's currently text-mode only, so I actually don't understand why it would end up with a resolution the monitor can't deal with.
b) Use native output on Linux and adjust the resolution to one of the comparable modes of the Indivision.
Well, I have to do some more testing.
I tried version 1.0 of the configuration tool today and I am still struggling to get proper modes. I have seen, however, that there is a new version 1.1 available which provides some sane default modes which I will test.
I might also try to get into touch with the guys from Individual Computers. It would be nice to get the Indivision prorperly working both with AmigaOS and Linux since we're working to revive the m68k Linux port :).
Update:
While my screenmodes for AmigaOS 3.9 are a bit messed up now, I can actually use the Linux console at 800x600/60 Hz. Looks I like I need to dig further into the tool and how to use it.

Links to all available versions:
v1.0:
http://icomp.de/products/AGAmk2/MK2_CFG_V10.LHA
v1.1:
http://icomp.de/products/AGAmk2/MK2_CFG_V11.lha
v1.2:
http://wiki.icomp.de/w/images/b/b3/IvAGAMK2_config_V1.2.lha
Version 1.2 is a beta version and includes the utility only, the Core files v2.6 from the v1.1 archive are required as well. Just unpack v1.1 first, then overwrite with the files from the v1.2 archive.
I am currently testing the configuration utility, trying to understand how screen modes work and how to generate proper ones that will deliver the best results. Will post results later.

I can only get this far :/
But otherwise, the picture is perfect. Very crisp!
-
I just got my new Indivision AGA MK2cr and so far it's running everything (WB, apps, games-but haven't set up my WHDLoad folder yet) great straight out of the box so do i need to mess with this config tool at all?
-

doesnt look particularly crisp to me ....
-
Right now the tool is still being worked on so I'd hold off playing around unless you really need to. Once it is finished and you have a much more stable program, then I'd start experimenting...
-
Beside some screen modes not working in WB I got it up and running perfect now thankts to the config tools (got a little panic at first when all went crazy but thankfully got the right end of things), thank you :)
