Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
shorthair:
I was messing around with an ATI 7000, on my Billabs. There's some flicker on the desktop at VGA and XGA. Also tried an Nvidia 6200 and same thing. Game-wise, some ran, some didn't. In the latter, either the monitor would cut out/power down, or it would keep doing that suction noise like it was trying but couldn't do it. The thing was, some of the classics - like Pac-man, or rather that native resolution - this happened with. Some others, too, though.
I noticed a couple other things, too: the monitor doesn't make that high-pitched sound like it does with the AVGA, nor is the image as bright as with it, either. (And it doesn't do that schizo thing, but a much smoother transition, when it comes out of a game.) I actually like this better.
Peale and you monitor tech folk know what's happening, here?

Sound indicated some variety of sync issue. Note that I said issue, not problem. Brightness may be from not having a video amp, or possibly the AVGA is tuned for a brighter picture.
Just my speculation.

So you couldn't run any real CGA resolutions like 320x240, 288x224, etc?

I didn't try it with Mame, Windows only. Window would only allow those resolutions.
I was trying this quickly while my daughter was down for a nap. She woke up early, so I didn't get the level of testing I wanted.

Thanks, Peale. Obviously Andy would know, but I hadn't gotten that far, yet.
