I went back to the 38kHz setting and now it does work. I had CPUBlit in my startup folder, which i guess i put back after i had so much problems getting picasso to work the first time (i did take it out, i guess i forgot that i put it back in <g>). now i am going to try to change term so that it will work on picasso's screen (the lack of a blitter is driving me crazy <g>)). i found that i can go past 1024×768, but even at that it is show shaky and faint i can hardly read it. 800×600 is about as far as i can comfortably (i.e. being able to read it without getting a headache) go. 🙂 you are right, this thing is fast! 🙂 i only have 8 colours, since i am using the magic wb icons. i want to get my hands on wb3.0 so i can try out the aga emulation though. i still do not know what was giving me all the problems before with the freqs. i know i did not have cpublit running while i was testing picasso out for the first few times. i put it back in only after i went back to using the ntsc monitor prefs, which was when i left my original message. i also know that i first tried 38khz and it did not work the first time. oh well, now it does. now i have to find out which programs will work using the picasso screen since the combined lack of a blitter in ntsc mode and the monitor flick (when it changes freqs from one mode to another) can get on my nerves quickly. 🙂 bob
