can be:
Spectrum, Piccolo, Domino, RetinaZ3, PiccoSD64, A2410, CyberVision, DraCoAltais, Picasso
PicassoMonitor is a TEXT file that contains the name of the MonitorConfigFile you wish to use.
If you look at the picture above it is Pointing directly to the file that will be used in the , in this
case Picasso. CyberGraphX comes with a few default config files: 15khz, 31khz, 35khz, 38khz, 48khz, 57khz, 64khz, 80khz.
So if your monitors max khz is 57khz and you selected this option in the installer the file
'Monitor-57khz' should be in the ENV:cybergraphics/Picasso dir & the ENV:cybergraphics/PicassoMonitor (a text file)
should have 'Monitor-57khz' in it.
If you have a Domino the layout is a bit different from above. DominoMonitor does not
point to another config file. It has 1 of 3 options for the khz you wish to run the card in.
They are 38, 50 and 57. So if you want to set it to 50khz, you would type:
'set cybergraphics/DominoMonitor 50' at the cli prompt. NEXT 'copy env:cybergraphics/DominoMonitor
to envarc:cybergraphics.
For the CyberVision64 and RetinaZ3 there is a ENV called MEMCLOCK. This file goes inside
the dir (ie. ENV:cybergraphics/CyberVision/MEMCLOCK). MEMCLOCK is the default memory
clock speed in MHz for the graphics memory on the card. This is just a number.
Card Default Low High
-------------------------------------
CyberVision 50mhz 50mhz 80mhz
RetinaZ3 63mhz 20mhz 90mhz
You may use higher values, although it may lead to problems when you overclock the memory. In
some cases you have to use lower values if the ram is to slow on the board to support faster speeds.
If you have this set to hight you will see pixel droping or see "grabage" on the screen.
ENV VARs and what they do.
The EnvVars in env(arc):cybergraphics are not needed for CyberGraphX, BUT
you can set them to what you want to make CyberGraphX act the way you want.
There are a few tools to making setting these EnvVars easy like CyberPrefsX, a script
to read/change/set them. The EnvVars are just text files with a '0' or '1' in them.
If the EnvVar has a '0' or the files is not found then that feature is not tuned on or disabled.
If the EnvVar has a '1' in it that feature is turned on.
- Note: 'By setting this variable" = setting the file to have a 1 in it. On = 1, Off= 0
- CPUP2C: By setting this variable, the planar-to-chunky conversion
will be done by the CPU (in contrast to the blitter conversion)
Therefore the ugly looking planar blitting effects are gone,
but the software conversion is slower.
- HIRESCRSR: By setting this variable, the Lores-Sprites on non-AA-machines
become Hires-sprites (they are no longer doubled by
the CyberGraphX-Software).
This variable is identical to the tooltype HIRESSPRITE of older Picasso-monitor files.
- HIDE15BIT: By setting this variable, you can switch off 15bit modes to reduce
screenmode list length. The Modes are still available but hidden.
- ALERTEMU: By setting this variable, DisplayAlert(), (The Screens you get when the machine crashes.)
will be placed on an CyberGraphX screens.
- NOCHIPSCREEN: By setting this variable, 8 bit deep screens are always opened
in Fast memory. Useful with 1MB chip systems but you should
avoid it with 2MB chip, because the older method is more
compatible (no taglist changes etc.)
- PLANES2FAST: With this option on, non displayable planar bitmaps
are allocated in fast memory. This options speeds up
handling of planar bitmaps but could lead to problem s
with amiga graphics which insist on planar graphics
placed in chip memory. Take care when using this option.
- NOPASSTHROUGH: If this option is enabled, the monitor switch on every
CyberGraphX supported board is deactivated. This option is
required for multi monitor systems.
- KEEPAMIGAVIDEO: If this option is disabled, everytime a CyberGraphX display
becomes frontscreen, Amiga display DMA is switched off in order
to increase chipmem access speed. You can avoid this by enabling
this option.
- BOOTLOGO: If this option is disabled (set to 'No - Off'), the CyberGraphX Bootlogo
will not be shown at boot time.
- SAVEMEM: If this option is on, CyberGraphX will reduce memory consumption in less or equal 16 colour
modes, CyberGraphX keeps a planar representation of the screen
bitmap in fastmem and a chunky representation in video memory.
