Hi all,
is there anyone who can tell me how to disable (enable) the scanline simulation in RTG mode? My problem is that all the portings (Doom, Quake, Duke etc...) running lower than 640x480 show scanlines, and i'd like to make them disappear, since it doesn't look well on a 55" TV. Thank you in advance.

Go to DEVS:Monitors drawer and find the RTG driver icon (it's either "SAGA" or "VampireGFX"). Select the icon, choose "Information" from WB "Icon" menu and find "ScanLines=Yes" tooltype (if it's not there you can add it, but in this case scanlines should be off by default). Change to "No", save and reboot.

Wow, many thanks for your precious answer Przemyslaw Tkaczyk, i appreciate your help alot! I'll go to try if it does work.

Thanks for your reply Gunnar, my post wasn't a bug report, but more like an help request. :) I was sure that it was possible to disable it, since looking around i found that it's a feature recently added (2.7?).
One more thing : i've just seen on the wiki, and it show GOLD 2.11 like if it's been released today, but no links available. Is it coming out today? :D
I can't help much with the TV, unfortunately. Let's visit Roma, and bring your Amiga! :D :P
