In reading over the Devcon report in the June Amiga Sentry, there is
mention of support of overscan in 1.4.
I really hope this support is in the way of morerows for workbench. I'm
really sick to death of all the HAM overscan modes that are totally broken.
Programs that don't work (I boot in interlace, use morerows):
VideoScape3D 2.0
VideoTitler (1.0 has so many faults, it doesn't matter)
Sclupt 3D
It seems HAM and overscan doesn't mix well with a morerowed display in
workbench.
Perhaps I'm moaning about something really trivial, but It's hard to
to go back a standard workbench display, just to make a few programs work.
It's really nice to use all of the Amiga display capabilities. I understand
the hardware/software constraints but hey, overscan is here to stay.
On another note, the same issue of Amiga Sentry does a review of Video
Titler 1.1. The author relates scepticism of the A2090's ability to do disk
operations with Aegis "severe overscan mode". Bullshit, I've done it without
problem. So much for that rumor.
VS3D get's really confused in HAM mode. In severe overscan, the display
goes out to lunch. Even in medium overscan, VS3D still displays a light
green sky when I said light blue.
Any chance this fix might make it into 1.3?
I've still got my A1000 for compatability. Sob. 8^(.
