- DoubleX - a small patch to force mode promotion on all NTSC and PAL
- screens on AA-equipped computers.
-
- Mode promotion on the A4000 will take a request from a program to open
- a screen, and either scandouble or de-interlace that screen. However,
- if the program specifically asks for an NTSC or PAL screen mode, then
- the OS feels compelled to give the program what it asked for - even if
- that means a flickering screen, or a 200 line display.
-
- DoubleX does what Mode Promotion does, but it does it for all
- OpenScreenTagList() requests. Programs that the standard Mode Promotion
- will not promote, such as DPaint or ADPro, will be promoted by DoubleX.
-
- To install DoubleX, copy it to some directory such as "Sys:Tools", and
- add a line like this to your "S:User-Startup" file:
-
- "Run >NIL: <NIL: Sys:Tools/DoubleX"
-
- You cannot drop DoubleX into the WBStartup drawer - it will not run
- from Workbench. It will quit if you send it a Ctrl-C break signal.
- Warning: It does not check to make sure that nothing else has patched
- the OpenScreenTagList() vector when it exits, and if something else
- has, then your system may be left in an unstable state. Quitting
- DoubleX is not generally a good idea.
