Overscan in X on Amiga
Under AmigaOS I normally use an NTSC-lacedscreen with maximum overscan.
This gives me a 724x482 screen that nicely fills the screen of my elcheapo
VGA monitor(Attched to the A3000's flickerfixer).
I was wondering if anyone could help me with the correct settings for
fbset or XF86Config to run X in overscan? I tried reading over the stuff
in the fbset and XF86Config man pages, but couldn't get fbset to accept
anything I tried (Chaning yres to 480 and subtracting a total of 80 from
upper and lower. It gave a message about 'bad ioctl' or something
similar. Multiscan does work for 640x480, but is limited to four colours
by the ECS chipset.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
