P IV and LCD Monitor trouble

[Darrin]

I've just been adjusting my P96 drivers to work with my Radeon card.  Initially almost all the modes were "out of range".  Just go into your Prefs folder, open the PicassoMode prefs and start adjusting the screen modes one at a time using the "clock" slider bar.  As you slide it back and forth from left to right you should see the Horizontal and Vertical frequencies below change.  My monitor supports 28-82KHz and 50-85Hz.  I created a 1920x1080 screen mode, set the clock at 159.75MHz which gave me a 65kHz and 54Hz frequency which (using the TEST button) gave me a rock solid picture.  Once you find a screen mode that works then SAVE your settings.  Reboot, go to your Screen Mode Prefs, select it, TEST it and if it works then save or use it.

I cant do that while the LCD is connected as i get no display... Could i do it while the CRT is connected and then switch monitors?

Ah, it is your native modes that are causing trouble too.

It has already been mentioned above, your problem is probably your LCD not supporting native PAL modes, so switch to NTSC for native modes and then do what I mentioned above for the RTG modes.

One of the reasons I picked the ViewSonic LCD was that it would handle PAL modes too so I could use it with all my Amigas/Minimig.
