Hi,
I am trying to set up UAE/E-UAE on my living room PC which is using
linux (running mainly the PVR software "VDR"). As I am new to the linux
version, there are some basic questions I did not find answers on when
searching website(s) and the mailing list:
- I can´t read from the website and the mailing list archive the exact
difference between UAE and E-UAE. It seems to me, that E-UAE had once
much more features than UAE, but after having compiled both versions
(latest snapshots), UAE seems at least to have a more comfortable UI.
- The main problem: I want to use UAE connected to a tube TV (expecting
to buy a HD capable flat TV or beamer within the next 3 years :)) using
the TV-out of an GeForce card. Next to the TV, there is still a LCD
monitor for basic configuration issues. For simplicity reasons, I use
the TwinView feature of the nVidia drivers for getting output on both
devices at the same time. As all of the buttons of the nVidia driver
configuration windows are only accessible with a resolution of 1024x768,
this resolution is also displayed on the TV-out. If I enable the full
screen option of UAE/E-UAE, the mode is not being switched and the Amiga
screen is not scaled (neither on the monitor, nor on the TV) - and I get
black bars all around. I also tried the sdl- and sdl-gl configure
switches, but this also did not enhance the situation. Is there any
way/parameter to scale the Amiga screen to 1024x768 or do I really have
to set up a different TV out resolution (800x600 or 768x576 PAL) to get
a full screen output on the TV?
With kind regards
Joerg
