1280x1024 shows only half the vertical (was my Visage/Picshow thread)

[Angus]

Hi,

I was having trouble showing the bottom of the picture when using Visage with my 1260 Mediator/Voodoo system. After some messing around I found it was using a 1280 by 1024 resolution but when I tested that res in Picasso96mode it is only showing half the screen. This is on a Belinea (Eyetech) monitor which my wife has hidden the instructions to. I had a bit of a play and found that if I increased the clock Mhz I could turn off the interlace which then showed the full screen - but it flickers horribly.

Is it possible to use this mode so that I can see all the screen, or should I delete the mode from Picass96mode so that Visage is forced to choose a different one?

I can't seem to get Visage (or Picshow) to use the tooltypes/argumnets that I set.   :-/

Thanks for any help.

If you'd post the exact version number, one could search the internet for a PDF version.

If both, your monitor and your gfx card support it, then yes. Just get the frequencies right and use neither interlace nor doublescan.

Frequencies should be like this:

Horizontal = 63.981 kHz
Vertical = 60.020 Hz
Dot Clock = 108 MHz

if it is a TFT (flickers on a CRT)

and

Horizontal = 79.976 kHz
Vertical = 75.025 Hz
Dot Clock = 135 MHz

if it is a CRT.

The frequencies are taken from my monitor's manual, but they are VESA compatible, so they should be ok for all PC monitors.

Bye,
Thomas
