Title: Groovyarcade - Attract Mode in 15khz after update
Post by: GroggyExpulsion on January 05, 2023, 01:48:53 pm

I have a Tri-Sync Nanao MS2931, after running the system update i now no longer get AttractMode in 31khz

On boot the Bios text displays in 31k, if i drop out into the terminal it is in 15k and if i load groovymame it loads in 31k

Games have no issues autoswitching.. Have looked through all the config files but can't see anything that would effect it. Can confirm monitor is set correctly in the config file

Your default resolution is set to 320x240, can't have happened on update. Was like this before. Or you've played with boot resolution in gasetup.

Ok fair enough.  But when i run gasetup and select my monitor type - MS-2931 i am unable to change the resolution.  When choosing resolution i get "your selected monitor does not require a resolution change"

Previously choose the MS-2931 monitor would automatically set the UI to 31khz and now it defaults to 15k

So you need to edit the syslinux.cfg boot file and replace video=VGA-1:320x240S with video=VGA-1:640x480S

Do you need further instructions ?

Just one more question. Where would i change the hostname. I have two groovyarcade installs and would like to reference them by hostname

Just sudo hostnamectl set-hostname myhostname

It does contain it, it's at the end of the line starting with append, it's cut in your copy, see that > at the end
