- Even though it's not documented, with a test screen open CVMode, you can
- use the arrow keys to move it around, and shift plus the arrow keys to size
- screen. I can't figure out how you're going to size 1280x1024 to the same
- size as the AGA mode. ;-)

- Every screen is mirrored into Amiga RAM. Those larger screens can take
- most of the CV64's RAM, so they have to move out of video RAM to make room for
- other screens, when you swap screens.
