1024x768 31khz AGA.. is it possible???
« on: July 15, 2006, 08:28:57 AM »
Hello everyone.
I am trying to increase the size of the screen.
I would love to have a 1024x768 if I could but the only monitor driver
or hacks are 21 khz and they don`t work on my monitor or my doubler.
the scan doubler only accept the 15 reguralr frequency and the monitor only 31.

Some monitor have the size that I want but the view size is always smaller and I can`t find a way to change it.

Any ideas anyone?

PS: I`m trying to do this on a A1200.
Please any suggestion welcome

wich monitor driver should I use to get the 1280x512? at 15?

anyway there is a hack and a new monitor driver for the AGA at 1024x768 but it only works at 21 which is a strange frequency and unless you have a multisynk monitor then you can't really use it.

what I am after is any resolution that it is bigger then 640x480 (the one I am using at the moment.. 31 would be preferible but 15 will do as well

thanx in advance

I tried lots of (if not all) the monitor drivers and on everyone of them you have a larger resolution, but the view size you can't really change. so the scree will go from one side to the other when you move the mouse but that's not what I am after.
I just need a bigger resolution so that the space on the Workbench looks bigger. is DblPall better? I haven't tried that one yet.

PS: I have a 1230 with 32 MB on it. would that make any difference? maybe not as the chip memory is still 2MB

Thanx to all anyway

Thank you all for the reply.

Here what I have found on Aminet

first is the hacked one as someone else has mentioned HighGFX
the next one is WBHacksAGA
I don't know how they do that and if there is a way to change the frequence.

As someone was asking in one of the post, I can change the size in the resolution but not the view size. When I change the default size then the monitor has a large screen but I can only scroll from one side to the other. It doesn't really change the view size. If I am doing something wrong then let me know what to change thanx.

Just for a note I am using WB 3.1. Is this a limitation to actually change the view size? I am planning to go to 3.9 soon. I just got my 3.1 ROM

Thanx again to all for all the info provided till now

:o)  I think you're right.
I would love to have a nice video card. Especially as I don't really use much of games etc, but still I don't have enough money to get the mediator or the PPC BV.

As I use the amiga for transfer ADFs and I am in a process of backing up all my original games, then I though if it was easy to have a better or larger res then it would make the work more enjoyable.

If not then I will have to stay with 640x480 VGA
