    Hey all.

    I recently had to buy a new monitor because my old one died. I now have a Ilyama Prolite B2409HDS (hmmm gorgeous monitor!).

    Problem is when I boot the Peg II from the 2.6 cd I get a "Input Not Supported" logo come up presumably because the default screenmode of MOS cd boot is not supported.

    I have no alternative monitor any more but want to upgrade. Is there any way to force MOS boot to go into a larger screenmode that will display??

    Oh, the OF screen displays fine btw

    Many thanks.

    The default mode is what your monitor reports via DDC, but it could be that its DDC report is slightly incorrect. You can force MorphOS to boot into a different screenmode - either hold the Ctrl key while booting to force 1024x768 @ 60Hz or open the bootmenu (if your monitor goes off sync, press 'v' to force 640x480 @ 60Hz) and select the mode there.

    Wonderful! Thank you Jacadcaps, the CTRL key did the job nicely :)

    I shall make sure to write that on every future MOS CD I burn just in case I hit the same thing in the future! :D

    Long live MOS! (Btw.....I'm sorely tempted to try it on my MAC MDD!!!!! hehehe :)
