- > !ReadMe for ModeX 0.13 module
-
- ModeX provides new screen modes. The module called ModeXraw is 'code only';
- you can tuck your own mode definitions on to the end (see below for format).
- The module ModeX contains some ready-made modes suitable for the Sony
- CPD-1402E m/sync monitor with a software controlled VIDC enhancer by
- Atomwide. See *Help modes for mode numbers etc.
-
- You can use your own modes with ModeXraw:
-
- - mode definitions must be in 'new' A540 format, i.e. include the VIDC clock
- rate (in KHz). They work happily in Risc OS 2.00
-
- - at least one mode must be provided
-
- - each three-part mode def must contain a 4 byte information word at its
- start:
- ?0 mode number
- ?1 monitor type (0 normal, 1 only for multisyncs)
- ?2 reserved (=0)
- ?3 VIDC enhancer bit (0 off, &20 on)
-
- - the last word must be -1 (&FFFFFFFF) to act as an end marker. This word is
- included in ModeXraw; insert your modes between it and the 'DATA' keyword.
-
- If you didn't understand all this gibberish, you have two options:
- a) delete all this stuff
- b) contact me for help
-
- Please note that you can damage your monitor by using badly defined modes.
