The config program is necessacary for fine tuning your Indy AGA MK2 for your monitor but is not likely going to fix those glitches in high resolution modes.

For that I did a hardware fix that that involves extremely basic soldering skills:

hope that helps.

To be honest 1024x768 is a bit much of AGA anyway


I run my workbench in 1024x768 and the display is always rock solid just like any other mode. I run in 16 colors so the speed is pretty good... with the right palette it looks almost like a GFX card.

tTiming fix seems easy enough if problem persists else just go back to 800x600 as that's what i was running before with no issues.

before doing the hardware fix, you can try one of those software based programs(the readme mentions) that manipulate the palette in the background to patch the problem. If those programs work them it would be totally worth it doing the hardware fix. Just don't confuse this 127r fix with the other "Timing fix" for the ACA and 040/060 accelerators. I'm not even sure this 127r thing is a timing fix...

If those software based fixes don't work, then maybe try putting on additional cooling...

Maybe it's just your color depth?   I tried mine in 128 colors and it worked fine for an hour but then started to glitch a little at 1024x768.   I'm now running it 640x512 and 256 colors and it's rock solid (and looks awesome too!)

Perhaps, buy back before the config tool came out I put mine in 256 color mode and stress tested it pretty well with various programs... I'm pretty sure it does not occur.

Not to say my A1200 does not have other issues :) I think it has failing caps or something that cause flaky behavior with the IDE controller.
