#VGA monitors!

Does anyone out there know if it is possible to connect a VGA monitor to an A4000 using the supplied adaptor? I've tried it and had no success using the DBLxxx drivers, I just get a shimmering mess! If it doesn't work, what is the supplied 15-23 way monitor adaptor for?!?! Commodore themselves have been no help – which I personally find very irritating after spending 1000 pounds+ with them! Anyway, I'd be very grateful for any help…

Have you tried putting the VGAonly AND your DBLxxx driver in the devs/monitors drawer? =Rick=

Adding the VGA only driver works for most monitors. My VGA that I use with FFVII will not. There is a program called MONED.lha online. This will modify your double.xxx drivers and allow it to sync. Try not to make to many, or to abrupt changes! I bumped my driver from the standard 29.09 (with vga-only) to about 30.8 It syncs perfectly now. Warning: not all programs mode promote! Your best bet is to get a multi-sync monitor. (I'm still saving up) I'm still using my crusty 1084 on my nice new A4000 and my A2000 with a 68000 has a nice non-interlaced picture in every mode thanks to ICD's Flicker Free Video II.

Do you have the VGAOnly installed? -Jonathan // Amiga online via Autopilot \\// MAC Quadra 700 & 486 emulation via Amiga!

To all who have helped, I will give VGAOnly a try… The reason I didn't try was because I didn't have a copy of it when I took my A4000 into work to try it on the monitor… I'll let you know what happens… Thanks James

James, With VGA-Only enabled (in the Devs:Monitors drawer), try using one of the Productivity modes. They will scan at 31.4kHz; the Dbl modes are at 29.4kHz, which some VGA (31.5kHz) monitors will not accept. =Edjs- Edward_Swatschek@mindlink.bc.ca
