[comp.sys.amiga.introduction] Productivity mode available with 1950?

saunders@triton.unm.edu (Richard Saunders CIRT) (04/30/91)

I believe the subject says it all ... I have a 3000 with a 1950
monitor.  This is a multiscan monitor, correct?

Well, according to my WB 2.0 docs, ("Using the System Software", using
the chart on 3-38) Productivity mode is supported _if_ you have
a multiscan monitor.  Well, I went ahead and put the Multiscan icon
into the WBStartup Drawer ... and lo and behold, the "Productivity"
modes are now available in the "Screen Mode Editor" after a reboot.
This tends to imply (to me anyway) that the system now recognizes
my monitor. (The "Productivity" options aren't there unless you 
move the "Multiscan" icon from the MonitorStore Drawer)

So now I switch to "Productivity" mode.

The problem?  The top part of the workbench is out of viewing range,
and the icons on the workbench look really crummy ... they flicker,
and have lines through them. (Not a good description, but you get
the idea)


Am I doing anything wrong?  Or is Productivity just unsupported
on my 1950? Or is it the drivers?  

Does anyone else have this problem?

(My WB is 2.02, and I hooked my 1950 through the 31 KHz port, and the
 problem is still there whether or not I have the "flicker fixer" on)
