I don't know what you mean by "That means you manually asked for a 1600x1200 resolution". I might have added the 1600x1200@60 to the tool type of the monitor icon, but don't remember now. All I know is that inside the "Monitor" tab all the resolutions, including the 1600x1200 resolution are checked, but only the 1600x1200 resolution doesn't show up as a choice in the available screen modes on the other tab.ChrisH wrote:That means you manually asked for a 1600x1200 resolution, but as it doesn't show-up as available it means OS4 thinks your monitor cannot handle that resolution. And that will be due to the Maximum VSync & HSync values you have set (or left at their defaults).When I click on the Monitor tab in the Prefs Screen Mode program, all the resolutions are shown there too, including the desired 1600 x 1200 screen mode.
So either you need to look-up the specification for your monitor & enter the correct VSync & HSync values, or else you need to enable "Detect settings automatically" (which is supposed to find-out those settings for you).
When that happened, did you see higher resolutions listed in the "Available Modes" of Prefs/ScreenMode? If they weren't listed, then "Detect settings automatically" must have failed to work.... but it might still be worth trying again, since I think the new Radeon HD drivers may have been improved in this regard.When I first got my X1000 I followed someones advice here and used the detect monitor settings from the Monitor tab in the Prefs Screen Mode program and it erased all of my screen mode resolutions and defaulted to a very ugly looking and hardly readable resolution of 640 x 200, or 640 x 400, or maybe it was 1024 x 768.
I do not have any adapters and use a DVI to DVI cable from the video card to the monitor.tonyw wrote:If you have a serial terminal connected to the debug output, you should see the display driver reporting what it found out from the monitor.
Do you have a direct connection between the monitor and the graphics card, or are you using an adaptor thingy? SOme of the adaptor thingies don't connect the DDC conductors from one side to the other, so DDC won't work.
As Chris said, the best thing to do is to simply switch on "Detect settings automatically", "All supported modes" and "Enable interrupts", then click "Save monitor". Let the machine do it all for you, there is nothing else you need to do.
If your eyes are getting worse (like all of ours), I would think that would motivate you more to run your monitor at it's native resolution, so you could have the clearest picture as possible.mechanic wrote:Since getting my X1000 I purchased a ViewSonic widescreen monitor. After trying many modes I've settled on 1366x768 as the best for these not-so-young eyes.
This mode is not listed in the docs that came with the monitor, however the refresh rate is well below some of the other modes listed.
I would think if the mode that works for your setup fills the screen proper and does not exceed the refresh rates of the other modes there should be no problem.
The 1680x1050 is just the number of pixels the card can pump out. As long as they all fit within the screen then the monitor should be AOK.
Don't worry about using a terminal. Just go to a shell and run DumpDebugBuffer. You should see any problems show up there.AmigaDave wrote: I have the external Serial Debug port, but do not have anything connected to it yet.
