- In order to smoothly move a display horizontally in the AA productivity-type
- modes, such as multiscan, DblNTSC etc, requires making each scan line slightly
- longer, and enabling the display later in the line. This pushes the display to
- the right, whilst also squashing the line to fit a longer line in the same
- amount of phyiscal space.
-
- If you can live without wider autoscrolling productivity type screens, or you
- can live with the scrolling problem, then simply cope the VGAOnly monitor from
- sys:storage/monitors to devs:monitors and reboot. The VGAOnly monitor is not
- really a monitor in the same way that Super72, DblNTSC etc are, but is a flag to
- tell the system what to do with the monitor sizes and positions when the
- monitors are installed.
