VGA monitor adapter killed my sprites
« on: February 17, 2005, 12:04:00 AM »
I've built this VGA adapter cable (turning the wires in mirror image from what should be the correct wireing), and since then I've got the following problem: =)

The sprites are garbled (games); the cursor pointer is jumping and erratic. I have not noticed anything else though. I've ran several sys info programs, but everything shows up normal. Screens are displayed correctly.

a) Is it the AGA Lisa that is fried
b) maybe video clocking circuit is dead?

 :-?

Yes,but I have the problem described when connected via composite video-out too. I've noticed the C811 (1000uF) has leaked too.Mouse-pointer cursor sprite is flaky when moving it across the screen, vector GFX (Trex Warrior) is working, but the sprites are not always shown properly.
Could this be the mouse-buffer logic or what else?

I've disconnected the faulty VGA cable, but the problem persists even without it. Some kind of voodoo I guess, but now the mouse cursor dissapears from time to time, otherwise moves normally ?! I wish if I could find more on this on the Net (tried several a1200 troubleshooters, but none was in-detail enough).
