   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.
