Dear All.
I hope someone can help with this, please email me if you have solved
this trouble.
I have just got Lightwave 3.5 PAL and I am having trouble getting the
layout editor screen to display properly. I have a large dead area of
plain grey background on the extreme left of the screen in the default
672 * 432 pixels which covers some of the buttons. In higher
resolutions I can only see the top left of the screen.
If I switch off mode promotion in Prefs:IControl I get the whole screen
displayed in 672 * 432 pixels, but a horrible interlace flicker inside
the editors which makes them pretty unpleasant to use, but I still
can't display the higher resolution screens in their entirity.
I've also tried using the program NewMode to promote the screen modes
in case the Commodore promotion program was to blame and whilst I can
then run the program in higher resolutions the rendering screen
inevitably crashes.
I have used the ChangeMode program in Toaster:Utilities and I *CAN* get
the modeller to display correctly onscreen in the default resolutions,
but that's it. If I go from Layout to Modeller the screen is screwed
up and Layout is still not working correctly.
My setup is an A4000 with Piccolo SD64 24-bit graphics card and I am
using a Commodore 1960 multiscan monitor. I usually use an 800 * 600
SVGA display for Workbench, but I have also tried Productivity and
High Res No Flicker modes - all with no result.
So can this trouble be fixed ? The manuals are very quiet on setting
up the program and I haven't had this trouble with any other programs.
I am a complete newbie to Lightwave and I really can't get much further
until I have a usable display - so be gentle !
All useful help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, just email
me so the rest of the world doesn't know how stupid I've been !
Mike.
