- I tried posting this before, but it didn't seem to work the first time. I
- don't know why we can't get 800x600x256, given that I have memory for a
- virtual screen of 864x606. My guess it has something to do with the clock
- speed, but I have no idea. I do know that my Paradise board offers no
- standard 800x600x256 setting, so my guess it that the Paradise engineers
- couldn't get it to work, either. Here's the setting for a reasonable
- resolution better than VGA resolution (720x540) and also for 640x480 (both
- with 28Mhz clock):
-
- "640x480" 28 640 656 744 824 480 499 512 523
- "720x540" 28 720 736 824 928 540 559 570 588
-
- Hope this works. One other question. My clocks are 25, 28, and 36 Mhz. I
- have not suceeded in getting anything reasonable (even 640x480) with the 36Mhz
- clock. Has anyone else had any luck in this regard?
-
- Thanks,
- Pat
