A600gs Amibench change Screenmode
« on: February 15, 2026, 03:41:46 PM »
I tried using Amibench on my A600gs this afternoon.

I almost fell at the first hurdle. I wanted to change the screen mode from the default 1920x768 to 1280x1024 This is to match my monitor native resolution.

But when I tried it, it just opened a dialogue window that said"Intuition is attempting to reset the screen. Please close all windows except wanderers ones."

I eventually worked out that you need to close the calendar, clock, dock and the logo in the bottom RHS to make it change resolution.

Did anyone else struggle with this? Or am I really very rusty about how Workbench/Amibench works?

I appreciate I could/should have just saved the new resolution, ignored the warning message and reboot Amibench?

Yes it did work. Both in Amibench and on the A600gs main menu (albeit the main menu is slightly off-screen rather than scaled to fit)
