RTG to native screen modes?

[haywirepc]

I am using e-uae on linux with picasso rt graphics enabled at 1024x768.
 
I was trying to load some demos from disk I copied over to this install of os3.x...
 
When I start demos, I hear sound but I suppose it does not switch to the screen the demo is playing on, which I assume is a native screen.
 
Is there a way to switch to the other screen, or do I have to start the demos/games and everything that uses native screens from a native screened wb?

Hope this makes sense. I think this works fine on winuae, but I could be wrong. Seems strange to me that the system dosn't know to switch to the screen the application wants.

If I go to prefs, modify the screen setting to be ntsc high res then launch the demos they work.
 
In other words, if I launch stuff on native screens, everything works.
 
Its like the system dosn't know to switch from the rtg screen to native modes. This is e-uae on linux 0.8.29 if that matters...

Thats a good question. I don't know because I never had a rtg card. I run in 64 colors on my a1200 in aga screenmodes.

I just checked, and on winuae on my amigasys install, it works fine, switching and loading the demos properly on whatever screen they start on. Then it goes back to your picasso desktop.

Also perhaps of relevance, on my linux install I am just using the amiga os 3.x install from amiga forever, since amikit/amigasys are a bit tricky to install on linux.

I'm using the pre-compiled binary that comes with amikit. Amikit won't install... Dosn't like my legally purchased amiga forever cd apparently...

But e-uae installs, so I just copied over amiga forever system and work directories... On winuae, this works fine... So your right must be an e-uae issue..

Still sucks, no nice virtual amiga on my linux pc, but I may try again with amikit because I bet if amikit installs it would work right...
