Les Currell asked me to post this letter for him. If you want to answer him personally, use his e-mail address. But surely, the answer will be of interest to other Archimedes users. Malo Hautus --------------------------------- Hi there, Has anybody out there found the same problem as me concerning M/S 256 colour screen modes ie 21,24 and 28 etc in RiscOS desktop? Briefly, at fairly irregular intervals, toggling into one of these modes, causes the image on the screen to 'fragment'. Forcing a machine reset, either with switch-off, <Ctrl-Break> or one of the many shutdown applications restores the original (good) condition for another undetermined period! So far I've experienced this 'fault' on a 310, 440, 4x0 and now even on a 540! Since installing ARM3's in the older machines the situation seems to arise more frequently although I wouldn't swear to it. Actually, I'm not alone as many collegues here in Germany have reported the same symptoms to me; also on a variety of different Archimedes models and monitors. So who's got the answer, or indeed a suitable fix? It can't only be here on the 'Continent' that we have this problem .......... could it? --- Les Currell -- EAN: currell@mpi-muelheim.mpg.dbp.de
