Smoother pointer movement with CyberGraphX or Picasso96?

@patrik:
just take the highest colour mode and copy it two times, then change the bitplanes to 16 and on the other copy change it to 8. It will give you 3 screenmodes with the same refresh and the monitor won't loose sync... the downside will be that with the highest resolutions you will be restricted to the refresh of the highest colour mode even on 8bit modes...

And there would be any way to force AGA to run at 72hz for example so there's better sync with the gfx card? I mean, something that opens a screen on bootup and sets that mode... or a modified VGAonly to force every mode to be 72hz... and if it worked it would be possible to create with MonED a 100Hz mode (I don't mind if it's a 160x120screen) so there's even better sync?

@patrik:
It sounds strange, the monitors that take so much time to switch are very old?
I tried that when I had a CV64 like you and it worked without problems with an old c= 1942 and a Hyundai Deluxscan15G+.
Now I have a Picasso4 and I didn't have problems with a 17" Medion or my current 20" Eizo...

Mmm I think you should disable Screen dragging, it slows down switching and doesn't look as good as aga... for example drag down a 256 colour opus screen if you have a 16bit WB under it... colours will look crap. I have disabled screen dragging (well, now I use P96 and don't have that option anyway)

@Kronos:
"VGAOnly does NOT force anything to 72Hz "
Yeah, but what I mean is that it could probably be modified to be "72HZOnly" if you like to force all modes to be 72Hz at least (which is little useful because it only changes the copperlist). Anyway thank you for the explanation about the ECS-Agnus and Alice...

I guess that using 120hz or 100hz should result in smooth movement too

@Patrik:
have you disabled screen dragging?
try it, switching should be faster
