Hello, i also noticed the Brightness Problem of PAl Screens when the PCI Library is running. That is no fault of AGA or Flickerfixer or somethimg else. Seems so when switching to GFX mode that less Power goes through the TV Modulator or video Output. I have a Mediator 1200 PCI for a long time and can say, there is a special Trick you can use. If you have a TV Card in your Mediator you can redirect the Pal Output signal to this Board. It is fairly simple, all you must do is to connect the amiga video output Plug (Yellow) to the Tv Card Video input Plug (Yellow) with a normal chinch cable. Then if you run under Picassso 96 you must edit the monitor tooltypes in this way: Find the Keyword "Displaychain" and set it to Displaychain=NO. then find the Keyword "FakeNativeModes" and set it to FakeNativeModes =NO that´s all.
After that start your favourite TV Programm i. E. "SuperTV" or the Elbox TV Programm and set the TV Format=PAL BDGHI and the TV Input to video Source that should it be. I recommend SuperTV because you can set nearly every Parameter you want. The elbox Programm is a little bit tricky.
If you done that start supertv and then start the Application or WHDload game you want and it appears bright and clear in the TV Window or Fullscreen you have set, no extra monitor is needed. Now you can play your old favourite games or apps on a High or truecolor Workbench in full colours without closing WB. At this Moment the wb is simply frozen and the game or app takes over the machine. When you quit, everything is getting to normal and the WB is still fully functional.
This is a small Tip for old Games and applications on expanded Amigas without the need of an extra monitor. Hope this will help you and much fun with playing classic games or apps on amiga.
Greetings,
