Trouble with Fullscreen RTG on secondary display

vagrant · 06 May 2012, 13:14

I use a CRT monitor as a secondary display purely for winuae's native output. (720x576@50 low latency vsync).

I'd love to use my primary LCD for RTG and secondary CRT for native output but I'm not sure how to do it.. is it possible?

In the meantime I'm trying to set up RTG on the CRT (same resolution as native) and have run into some problems.
Firstly, with 'full-screen' set I just get a black screen. I have to use 'full-windowed' instead.
Secondly, for some reason I can only select 60Hz uaegfx resolutions in screen prefs and as a result get 60 fps.. shouldn't they be 50hz by default?

I'm using the latest beta but had the same results in earlier versions.

This is not fully supported yet.

You can try manually adding gfx_display_rtg=<display number> to config file.

Check also http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=58900 for displaydata configuration entry usage which probably also does what you want.

60Hz is normal, RTG boards are commonly connected to standard VGA monitors that don't support 50Hz. RTG refresh rate selection also isn't supported yet.

Note that Amiga-side RTG system does not understand multiple monitors and does not know which resolution is supported by which monitor. Results can be interesting if unsupported resolution is selected.

Great thanks for clearing that up toni

Adding that line to the config works like a charm!
