That's really great news Jens, congrats on the new products  :-D

I assume this screen mode will also work with 1200's?

I dont really see the point with this one, it's only usefull for those rare native 1280x1024 5:4 aspect monitors (alllthough, I do have two of them), and it will eat more precious chip ram. I'm much more interested in a working 800x600 mode (4:3 aspect - Super72 doesnt work well), so that apps like HivelyTracker can run full screen.

Also, I have yet to find a way to get PAL display to stretch out vertically.

Any tip on how to get rid of these borders? I've tried altering the timing values, but only manage to change width, or the monitor ends up with "signal out of range".

I dont quite grasp the "output is always over 60Hz" vs. "Fallback to legacy flickerfixer-type 49.9Hz modes at the user's choice" - where/how do I chose this?


Yes I expect chipram to take another hit but it's still nice to have the option.  I'm not sure if it's technical possible to build some FBlit type magic into HighGFX to make it use some fast-ram instead of chip-ram.

I already asked the author of HighGFX if he would be developing an 800x600 mode but he didn't think it would offer anything over the Super72's 800x600 mode...shame.

AS to your border issues, I'm afraid that's down to your LCD monitor.  You really can't beat a 4:3 CRT for displaying Amiga modes  :idea:

Does it use up a lot of ChipRAM or any ChipRAM? That would not be good for Video Toaster 4000 systems if it did.


What is a lot?  The Indivision itself doesn't use any chipram.   HighGFX on my system running at 1024x768 with 64 colors leaves about 1.3 mb free on startup (OS 3.9, no background picture).
