Small WinUAE problem, 8-bit scrennmodes gone.
« on: February 17, 2004, 12:16:06 AM »
The 8-bit picasso96 scrennmodes are gone when I use WinUAE.
The 16 and 32bit are still there. I have tried with  older winuae versions but that didn´t help. I think its a windowsproblem because I cant get 8-bit screenmodes in windows either. I have winxp home and a crappy SiS  integrated on motherboard chipset.
The thing is it worked 3 or 4 weeks ago so what have I installed that I shouldn´t have?
PS, Windows is evil, you can´t keep your configs and startup-sequence in memory like on a Amiga. :-x

You can use 8-bit modes in WinXP by clicking on the advanced something(swedish windows,can´t be bothered to find the english names for stuff :-)) in screen prefs and then "show all modes".
Well I used to be able to do that, now it´s just 16-bit, 32-bit and two 16 colours modes that shows up.Thats why I belive some windows or driver update messed it up. I am positive that it is a windows problem, I haven´t changed the config of my UAE hardfile.
I want to run PersonalPaint in 8-bit RTG modes like I used to :boohoo:  :-)

Yea my XP only goes down to 16 bit...
but if i go through `advance` , click on `adaptor` tab, and click `list all modes` then i can choose any thing...

Have you got XP cursor installed?

No, what is it?

It´s not a card its  integrated on the motherboard :-)
I´m saving my money for a Pegasos or Aone, no point in throwing money at the pc. Of course I could by a fanless Radeon and use it in the pc till i get a real computer. I might by one anyway so I get video out.

Anyway I solved it now, it was something called SiS Systray that was the problem, i unistalled it and got my 8-bit modes back. The brain works much better after a nights sleep :-)
