New Picasso96 screen modes

Post by Phantom »

Just wondering if you can overwrite the standard screen modes from the ScreenMode Prefs. For example, in my monitor the 640x480 resolution isn't entirely correct, so I had to make a new one via Picasso96Prefs. The problem is that now I have 2 different 640x480 choices in ScreenMode Prefs. Is it possible to alter the original one or to overwrite it?

I thought if making the original resolution inactive, should the new one work out?

Not if you use DDCMODE= in your monitor driver.

You can however, set your own screenmodes, turn off DDC and then comment out () the faulty screenmode, like so

(MODE=320x240@60)
MODE=640x480@60
(MODE=800x600@60)
(MODE=1024x768@60)
MODE=1280x720@60
(MODE=1280x720@60)
(MODE=1366x768@60)
(MODE=1440x900@60)
MODE=1920x1200@60

The ones with () won't turn up on the next reboot

Yes, I found out; did exactly what you proposed, but thanks for your answer.
