- The VGAOnly monitor type is actually a modifier to the other
- monitor types. Most of the monitor types (except PAL and NTSC) output
- at ~24 to ~27 kHz and the VGAOnly kicks this up higher to sync better
- with VGA style monitors. However, it does cause some side effects to
- the display when scrolling horizontally so its a "use only when you
- need it" type of thing.
- DoublePAL produces 640x512 (640x1024 interlace), DoubleNTSC
- produces 640x400 (640x800 interlace), Multiscan produces 640x480
- (640x960 interlace) and Super72 produces 400x300 (400x600 interlace)
- and 800x300 (800x600 interlace).
- Take a look in Chapter 7 of you WB 3.1 manual.
