Been a long time,need help with my voodoo and new monitor
« on: February 21, 2011, 11:35:00 PM »
Hi people,it's been a while since i have been on here but some of you may remember me?Well i went back to my A1200 today but need some help as i have not used it with my latest monitor before.

On ubuntu i'm running on 1680 x 1050 16:10 and 60hz refresh rate,can i get a screen mode close to this on my voodoo 3000? if so would someone remind me how setup my amiga to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah i did do that but i'm not sure how to adjust the settings on my amiga to get such screen modes? as the screen modes available in the prefs dont have the one i'm looking for so id assume i need to do something with P96?

Hi
Thanks for the reply,my amiga is already setup with the correct voodoo driver and what not as i have had this machine a long time and had another monitor connected.Now i have a new large/widescreen monitor but the screen modes i have the option to choose from are crap.

So there must be a way to get more screen modes options to choose from? i'm currently running 1024x768 which now just looks fat and ugly on a 22" screen.

Hi
Been away for a while and just got back to my amiga,right i found my monitor documentation and it states for 1680 x 1050 the horizontal freq is 65.29 and the vertical is 59.954

Now i have set the screenmodes in P96 as i follwed the guide on amigakit but i can't seem to alter the frequencies? they are set as 38khz/64hz.

Oh and another problem,in the settings column in P96 i have two voodoo options due to my old monitor so how do i delete the one i don't want? as due to this i don't see my new screen modes in screen mode prefs.
Any help would be appreciated :)

Ok i messed about with the clock and it worked and got rid of the box,but my icons have a bit of a ghosting effect?
