BVision under OS4

[Framiga]

you have to set the max H and V sync values (accordingly with your monitor spec)

mine with a 17" TFT are:

VSYNCMIN=56
VSYNCMAX=76
HSYNCMIN=30000
HSYNCMAX=85000
MODE=640x480@60
MODE=800x600@60
MODE=1024x768@60
MODE=1280x1024@60
INTERRUPT=No

I did try adding "MODE=1024x768@60" in to the tooltypes but it didn't shop up in ScreenMode prefs. Is there anything else I need to do?

I also added these:-

MODE=1024x768@60
MODE=1280x1024@60
INTERRUPT=NO

but just got the options twice for 800x600. I have no idea what figures to put for


VSYNCMIN=
VSYNCMAX=
HSYNCMIN=
HSYNCMAX


as I don't have a manual for my approx 15" Compaq MV520 monitor.

Found this info about the MV520.

After reading it I think you should enter the following:
VSYNCMIN=50
VSYNCMAX=100
HSYNCMIN=31500
HSYNCMAX=54000

So would getting the frequencies wrong stop the screenmode from showing up?

@Moto

Maybe this thread at amigans.net is of any help?

Yes, the lack of classic 68k support is very disappointing.

some software does work nice, like DiskMaster (68K version)
and, IIRC, CED..
besides you can always dualboot for games.

[Framiga]

there are plenty of 68K apps working under AOS4.

Old games apart, theres nothing i can recall, that stopeed working.

yep indeed. anyway you can use Picasso96Mode if you prefer it (native as well)

[AmigaMance]

Out of curiosity, what the INTERRUPT tooltype is about? Is it P96 or OS4 specific?

I assume it is about the VBL, on or off :-)

Whether or not to keep it!

it seems unfair to sell what you got as a gift (IIRC)..

Thank you very much :pint:

I've now got 1024x768 16bit

@ moto

I had to manually change the circled figures from 800x600 to 1024x768. You might want to try that too :-)

Glad it works.

If the screenmode you specified is not within the range of the frequencies you entered (and that your monitor can handle), then indeed the screenmodes won't show up.

I did try that, but it left the actual resolution at 800x600 but gave me 1024x768 overscan.

I'll check the frequencies for my monitor and try setting them to what they should be and report back!
