some details about the "xtreme-mode"

1280x1024 with 8 bitplanes needs 1,3 mb chipmem
refrashrate is BELOW 60hz (thats the reason for the name)
refreshrate on indi should be arround 50-54 hz
FOR XTREME YOU NEED A MONITOR/LCD, THAT IS ABLE TO DISPLAY PAL WITH 1.00 SCANRATE (50Hz)!!!

it needs a lot of memory
it is damm slow (with many colors)
it is a AGA-screenmode

but 1280x1024 in ham8 is fantastic

@kolla:
looks like your super72 800x600 screenmode like this?
the first firmware works with the wb3.0 drivers (but these drivers are different to 3.1-3.9 drivers)
so better use wb3.1/3.5/3.9 drivers and actual firmware for the indivision


xtreme:

xtreme modes with 640x256/640x512 are also nice.
your lcd doesn´t need to autoscal the resolution ...
you will get a crystalclear (blocky / non-blurred) 640x512 picture on a 1280x1024 lcd.

@Rebel-CD32:
Try the latest config and flash tools (v1.00).
I noticed, that it needs two executings to start correctly on my system.
(i will report it to oliver)

for super72 correction it is only important to execute the CONFIG tool and save current settings.
the tool identifies if you are working with old 3.0 or 3.1-3.9 monitor drivers.
it changes one internal indi-setting and you ll never have this ugly super72 again.

 ;-)

@whiteb:
join a1k.org and get in contact with "boing4000" he is working on a "scanline-core" and knows a lot about the minimig-display output.

Indivision AGA Configuration Tools V1.10
  Indivision AGA FPGA Logic Core V1.4
      (c) 2009 by Oliver Achten
----------------------------------------

Short description
-----------------

These tools enable you to configure your Indivision AGA flickerfixer, which
means you can flash updates, make a backup of your existing flash configu-
ration or change the internal display parameter settings of your Indivision
AGA to match your preferred setup.

This package contains 3 tools:
------------------------------
Indivision_Flash : Flash a new firmware or make a backup of the existing.

Indivision_Config : Edit and save display parameter to match the output
                    of Indivision AGA to your display device.

c/ivconfig : When being executed from startup-sequence or Wbstartup, this
tool manually initializes Indivision AGA with the current
settings which are saved in the flash rom.


Useage of ivconfig
------------------
This is a simple tool which can be started from either the startup-sequence
or the Wbstartup drawer. Its purpose is to manually configure Indivision AGA
with the current settings which are saved in the flash rom. It has been repor-
ted that on some Amiga hardware configurations, the automatic startup initia-
lization of Indivision AGA fails, so that changes made to the configuration
using the Indivision_Config tool fail to load on startup. This tool is the fix
for this problem.
