#A4000 Flicker
5 messages in this thread
I picked up a 4000 last Thursday, but haven't had time to play with it
until today. It seems to only de-interlace the Workbench screen; custom
screens either flicker if interlaced or show scan-lines if not interlaced.
Can anyone tell me if I have something set up wrong?
Russel,
I've only played with an A4000 breifly, but here's a few things you can
try… make sure you have the DblNTSC monitor as the monitor in the
devs:monitors drawer. And then, in (I think) the Icontrol preferences
program, make sure you have 'coersion' (sp) set, also, from the 'Boot Menu'
(hold down the mouse button(s) when rebooting) I'm not sure of the wording,
but select the 'Best' option.

Keith,
It's IControl preferences and the button you want checked is 'Mode
Promotion'. You don't need to do anythng with the 'Boot Menu' as it
defaults to 'Best'.

Ahh.. thanks for the clarification.
Dean,
The documentation indicates Mode Promotion is for VGA monitors. I
tried it using both dblNTSC and VGA_Only and it made no difference.
However, I did not reboot after switching to VGA, and I have since found
the startup-sequence does a check for VGA_Only. Unfortunately, in a case
of perfect timing, my multi-scan monitor died. I'll probably replace it
tomorrow and see if booting with Mode Promotion and VGA_Only does the
trick.
Thanks, Russ
