      From: vincent.riviere@freesbee.fr              Hello.              I would like to know how the Falcon TOS 4.04 choses between 50 and 60 Hz       resolutions on RGB monitors. For example, if I switch to the ST-Low       resolution from the desktop, will it switch to 50 or 60 Hz mode ?              On ST TOS, the PAL/NTSC flag was hardcoded into the OS header in each       national TOS. But if I'm not wrong, there is only one international version       of Falcon TOS 4.04.       So on Falcon, does the PAL/NTSC settings come from the country code stored       in the NVRAM ?       What happens if the NVRAM is not initialized, it could lead to wrong       frequency and unusable display, then the user will be unable to switch to       the right mode...              And final question, do the PAL/NTSC settings have some importance on VGA       monitors ?              Thanks in advance.              --       Vincent Rivière              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
