CT63 Falcon Screen resolutions

[danwinslow]

Well, I have a CT63 Falc humming along nicely now, have mint+xaaes+teradesk. The one thing I note is that the 640x480 stock rez is starting to suck. I researched a bit for screen rez stuff, and found :

 

videlity

videomode

centscreen

centvid3

 

None of them seem to work very well. I have a VGA LCD flat panel that works well with the stock resolutions, but it seems to be pretty hard to get anything other than that. What I am looking for is some advice on what utility to use, what settings might be useful, and can I really expect to get a significantly higher resolution out of the stock videl? Specifically, I would really like to get 1024x768, or at least 800x600. I can switch to a multisync tube monitor if that would be better.

 

Thanks folks.

I use everyday my Falcon CT63 with a Vga (Tube) monitor in 800*592 with Centscreen, any problem, before i used Videl Inside but he was a little more technic but allow you to create your own rez, but that can be dangerous

That sounds good, would you mind posting the settings you are using in centscreen?

Guys, I gotta ask, I thought that you couldn't get higher than stock rez's without

the video/bus mod?

 

I mean the CT series is awesome, but didn't think that they do anything for video

enhancement....

I have no video or bus mod, i have just plugged my CT63 and use Centscreen, anything else, that will do one year i'm using this setting without any problems.

Just wondered does centscreen work on a stock falcon running Magic 6.1?

I don't use Magic but i think it must run with, in 68030 mode Centscreen run nice, i have had any problems in two modes (68030 and 68060) with this prog.

All those proggies will work, as the Videl has a higher bus frequency clock which is not used for stock resolutions.

A program as Videl Inside or CentScreen uses those better frequency to get higher resolutions.

I have a stock Falcon running 800x608, and I tried CentScreen some years ago, that gave me flickering 1024x768.

 

Ah, yes: Videl Inside has resolutions that should work on every Falcon, most other proggies have to be toyed around with...

[danwinslow]

Videl Inside? Do you mean Videlity?

[jens]

No, I mean Videl Inside or Videl Insight - not too sure about the spelling, but I think the first one is right.

Videlity is for fiddling around, Videl Inside is just for click, save and go.
