i haven't sat in front of my amiga for a long while. what is the highest setting in screen prefs for a amiga with no graphics card?

partly i shall be testing out some of the hardware i have to make sure it's ok.

what can i do to get it working with a ps2 kvm? if i leave everything in the tower i have the keyboard adaptor and a ps2 adaptor. i do have a manual switch so i don't need the video adaptor as it'll go to scart... but the mouse? i don't want to pay out for a cocolino yet.

@monami

If you're using the composite out, you're stuck with either 640x400 (NTSC high-res interlace) or 640x512 (PAL high-res interlace), depending which standard your TV uses, though the interlacing means its going to flicker like hell. (I'm not sure which continent you're on) For higher resolutions, I'd use the rgb port with an adapter, with the super-72 monitor driver, you can get up to 800x600 resolution. (Mine is set to that @ 64 colors for speed purposes, even with Fblit its too slow in 128 or 256 colors) There's a monitor driver around somewhere that goes up t0 1024x768 on AGA, but I wouldn't use it. (Eats chip mem) As far as the mouse issue, I use a Mr. Mysza that my brother gave me because it wouldn't work with his kvm switch, so as a standalone it works fine. (Using with a alpha data joystick switch + 6-button sega controller, mr. mysza to ps2/usb adapter to usb to wireless mouse base) I believe there's other threads about the ps/2 adapter/kvm issue, though.

@kvasir

cool thanks for the info. i'm in the uk. but i went and sold my commodore branded rgb adaptor a little while ago. (damn!) i could live with 800x600. i'll still give the scart ago.

i did end up buying the rgb adaptor but my lcds don't do the 15khz modes. sadly!
the tv box i use takes the composite signal and can put it up to 1260x1024 or so. it isn't too "blurry" at all. although there is some on screen noise though that seems to be coming from my tower. it's sitting on the desk. (i'll have to find my sheilding.) i seem to be able to use high res laced modes through the box. and don't have any flicker strangely!
i can't use super72 driver as it's 24khz and just rolls my screen. multiscan productivity is fine...
i wonder what my best bet is?
