#Monitor Modes Missing
I received a call from a user last night who has an unusual problem. He has an
Amiga 4000 with a 1960 monitor, running AmigaDOS 3.0. When he selects
ScreenMode preferences, his only selections are NTSC related. When he first got
his system, he had all of the Monitor types displayed, but now only NTSC is
available. (Yes, I had him check to see if the others just weren't visible
because they were scrolled out of the window. This was not the case.)
First, I had him list devs:monitors, and he has all of the usable monitor types
in the drawer. (NTSC, PAL, DBLNTSC, DBLPAL, Super72) Second, I had him read his
startup-sequence line by line, it's unchanged from the released version. (The
check for Monitors is in place. I had him execute the "List" to the screen and
it found all of the monitor types which I listed above.)
Several years ago, I ran into the same problem on my 4000, but I don't remember
how I solved it. Does anyone have any suggestions? My own suspicion is that
something he installed overwrote a library or handler file, but I don't know
what to check for.
