I'm using AmigaForever WinUAE for some developement work.

When using the uaegfx driver the screen mode requester offers a ridiculous range of monitors settings many of which do not work on my monitor (1280x1024 in this case) either because they are two big or becuase the frequencies are out of range.

How can I setup a more sane range of choices.

This is aparticular problem as PPaint tries to chooses the best mode for an image and will use the largest mode that's smaller thann the image if you understand my drift. So that either opens an insanely large window or in fullscreen a mode my monitor doesn't support.

Also some smaller modes don't work so opening screens is a real lottery.

I can't imagine pople who avocate WinUAE as a platform would put up with this so there must be a solution!

Strange, never had such problem - only working modes are displayed for me. You may ask on EAB - Toni Willen is regular there.

@broadblues

uaegfx offers all screen modes your Window gfx card reports as valid. Make sure that the Windows driver is set up correctly, then uaegfx will be, too.

Ah interesting, a lot of the time I'm running 'headless' accessing via VNC, could this make the windows offer more modes than are 'sane'?

Yes it can. In a headless environment windows would report every screen mode the display card can handle.
