To make things more complicated, there is a mode where Agnus switches hsync and vsync to inputs. That way you could atleast in theory generate video modes with different resolutions like a 40Hz mode with over 300 visible lines. I don't know if anyone has tried this. It seems like this was ment to be used for genlocking but then someone found out that it works better to just PLL the system clock. -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
