- This is a request for help, based on my experiences so far with AGA and
- 29.2Khz and up monitors.. I have a monitor that I want to stick on the
- A4000, I stuck the VGA only icon in the monitors drawer. That seems to
- work fine for things except DPAINT, and a few others. I downloaded DoubleX
- and that works fine. What doesn't work fine is a few anim players (Showanim,
- View 3.2, and Scala Multimedia200).. The initial work screens come up, until
- I start to play anim files out.. They revert to 15KHZ and garbage.. I don't
- know if I am doing something stupid (maybe I am). Anything that relies on
- Intuition seems to work and play fine (DPAINT the program, MOVIE, etc).
- However things that do animation by creating a view (port) and using the
- workbench screen to double buffer, don't seem to be working.. What am
- I doing wrong here??
-
- Am I using way old software that doesn't properly access screens etc?? Is
- there any way around this.. Please someone who went through this already
- please explain.. with VGA ONLY does it really send out at 31.5Khz??
- Would putting other monitors in the monitors drawer besides the VGA only
- be the problem. It doesn't seem to be that... Please help before I go
- out and spend more money on another monitor.. The display database says
- DBLntsc is at 29.2.. Should regular NTSC say 31.5???
