BVision under OS4

Moto

I've just done a fresh install of OS4. After the recommended cold boot I had no GFX card screenmodes as you are reporting. This was because the driver in Devs/Monitors was not set up properly. It was the driver in Storage/Monitors which had all the GFX card screenmodes listed in its tooltype.

I suggest that you try moving the driver that is now in Devs/Monitors elsewhere, and put the driver of the same name from Storage/Monitors into Devs/Monitors, as it solved the problem for me.

(A reboot then took me straight into 800x600 16bit)

Well, what the hell is it you teaser :lol:

What do you think of OS4 moto?

To me it was a bit like a bare windoze installtion at first and I didn't feel like it could really do anything (I'm probably wrong though as I haven't really looked at it - I was just pleased to finally own it and be able to run it whenever I wanted to). I then started to enjoy getting things like Dopus4 and ToolsDaemon to work. Then I got side tracked by other interests until I saw that you were trying to give it a go, and through a stroke of luck this week a mate gave me an 18GB HDD which plugged perfectly onto my PPC (Dunno why but I hated the thought of using converters on my CSPPC and my ACARD is still in the box). No WHDload is a pain if you love games of course, but it doesn't matter if you have another Amiga on OS3.9 :-)

I can only go up to 800x600 currently.

Me too, and I'm wondering the same thing.

I also added these:-

MODE=1024x768@60
MODE=1280x1024@60
INTERRUPT=NO

but just got the options twice for 800x600. I have no idea what figures to put for


VSYNCMIN=
VSYNCMAX=
HSYNCMIN=
HSYNCMAX


as I don't have a manual for my approx 15" Compaq MV520 monitor.

Found this info about the MV520.

After reading it I think you should enter the following:
VSYNCMIN=50
VSYNCMAX=100
HSYNCMIN=31500
HSYNCMAX=54000

Thank you very much :pint:

I've now got 1024x768 16bit

@ moto

I had to manually change the circled figures from 800x600 to 1024x768. You might want to try that too :-)

I did try that, but it left the actual resolution at 800x600 but gave me 1024x768 overscan.

I also had 1024x768 in a small window in the middle of the monitor screen, and wondered what the hell was going on :lol: I had to press the adjustment button on the front of my monitor. Then had to use the one that stretches the screen wider. But then my AmigaOS4 backdrop didn't look right, so went into WBPattern and changed 'Tile' to 'Scale well'.

D'oh! Thanks :-D
