- yes.
-
- I for example use this comand for console mode:
-
- iteconfig -x 2 -y -2 -h 560 -w 724
-
- To get this permanent you can change this when you compile your own
- kernel.
-
- in /usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/dev/ite_cc.c you can change the following
- lines like I did for my display:
-
-
- /* patchable */
- int ite_default_x = 2; /* def leftedge offset */
- int ite_default_y = -2; /* def topedge offset */
- int ite_default_width = 724; /* def width */
- int ite_default_depth = 2; /* def depth */
- #if defined (GRF_NTSC)
- int ite_default_height = 560; /* def NTSC height */
- #elif defined (GRF_PAL)
- int ite_default_height = 560; /* def PAL height */
- #else
- int ite_default_height = 560; /* def NON-PAL/NTSC height (?) */
- #endif
-
- I believe that the "/* patchable */" means that you can use the
- binpatch program to change the appropriate values on an existing
- kernel, but you have to find out for your self how to do that ( I
- never use binpatch)
-
- and for Xdaniver I use the following line in
- /usr/local/X11/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
-
- :0 Local local /usr/local/X11R6/bin/X -width 724 -height 560 -X 2 -Y -2 -depth 1
-
- btw the -depth 1 means that you are going to run a black & white
- display. I found this to be the only acceptable mode (speedwise).
- I believe you can change it to 2 for 4 colours or 3 for 16 clours.
