If you're using a VGA monitor with an adaptor and using a higher resolution and you run a game that uses a lower standard resolution, how does it display on the VGA monitor? That's what I'm not getting.


Most (all?) non-WB games will just ignore the current WB monitor driver and use their own low-res driver.

For my current 1200 setup, I connect my VGA monitor to the RGB output (for WB use).  When I want to run a game, I have to switch on my VGA box which is plugged into the composite output (soon to be upgraded to S-Video).  All of this mucking about will soon be over with Jens new video chipset  :-D

On a side note, I find it quite funny that only one AGA specific driver was released back in the day (VGA only) and even that is not a driver in its own right like the others.  The only other one I could find was HighGFX.  All the other monitor drivers (even the ones with OS3.9 say 'requires ECS'...what happened to 'requires AGA'  :lol:

I guess by the time that OS3.9 was release eveyone had given up on AGA and moved to RTG  :idea:
