I'm confused.

Is there a way to use this without switching video input modes?

I'd really like to use it entirely with my 1084S monitor.

Thanks in advance.

I am more confused than you. Are you saying you want to use 1084S monitor for everything without switching mode for Vampire DIGITAL-VIDEO/RGB support? Are you saying you want to use DIGITAL-VIDEO on an 1084S monitor and have high resolution and at the sametime if you play whdload game or do netsurf or whatever you don't switch video input mode and have it all there?

If the answer is yes to all the questions above, I just want to inform you about your confusion :).

1) 1084S monitor is a master piece monitor for PAL/NTSC and if supports RGB, for that. However, 1084S monitor does not support DIGITAL-VIDEO and you cannot use DIGITAL-VIDEO with it. Now...I could be completely wrong...but that is my knowledge in such monitor.

2) As for switching channel...for now you have no choice since AGA is not implemented yet. Ones AGA is implemented all modes will be at the sametime without having to switch input or channel. For this, you do need to wait. When will that happens? I don't know myself...but all I can say is wait.

Understood. Will the same hardware in V2 be supporting AGA in a future update then? Or will it be completely different hardware?

Thanks again for the information :)

Who told that?!? It will be copy-paste from Natami? If not it will be pretty nonsense reworked that again...

Probably some things will be ported, but, Gunnar is the person, who will do it even better than in natami.

Frodo can run full speed all the time, if you move and hide the pointer to left-down or right-down corner. Do you see how it is flickering? This slows the refresh. Maybe this can be sorted in saga p96 driver? I temporarily clear the pointer in wb prefs when I use frodo emulation.
