| Hi,
I'm also struggling to get the monitor set to its native resolution of 1920 x 1200 @60Hz. Whatever I do I seem not to be able to get the desired resolution, in stead I get a resolution of 'BootVGA:Productivity'. To give you an indication how that looks: imagine RAM Disk's icon being 42mm in square...
What are proper settings in SYS:Devs/Monitors/Radeon HD6450's tooltypes? I now have: CMPLENGTH=14 BOARDNAME=Radeon HD6450 VSYNCMIN=60 VSYNCMAX=70 HSYNCMIN=31000 HSYNCMAX=70000 MODE=1920x1200@60 DISABLEFAKENATIVE=Yes INTERRUPT=Yes
In Prefs/Screenmode (Available modes) I only see: PAL:Low res PAL:High res PAL:Super-high res PAL:Low res laced PAL:High res laced PAL:Super-high res laced PAL:640x480 HighResLaced DPF BootVGA:Productivity
In Prefs/Screenmode (Monitors) I see: 1920x1200@60 which is ghosted as 'Automatic detection' is checked.
However, on a different bootpartition (I've got more then 1), I find this: OS_4.1 FE:Devs/Monitors/Radeon HD6450: CMPLENGTH=14 BOARDTYPE=Radeon HD6450 DDCMODE=ALL VSYNCMIN=60 VSYNCMAX=70 HSYNCMIN=31000 HSYNCMAX=70000 MODE=1920x1200@60 (FAKENATIVEMODES=Yes) INTERRUPT=Yes
Is there anywhere any documentation about the tooltypes and how they interact with the Screenmode prefs?
On a side note: Well-past 2020, what on earth are we thought to enjoy with PAL-modes??? And BootVGA:Productivity?

Now that I'm in de process of installing OS 4.1 FE yet again, on a newly created partition, I see a notice on the installation screen, stating that a demo version of RadeonHD graphics driver is used and installed and that therefore resolution is at max 1024 x 768. So, that issue is 'solved', all I need now is a good graphics driver to allow 1920 x 1200 @60.

Yes you already identified this in your other thread - you need to buy the latest RadeonHD driver if you don't have it already _________________

Screenmode detects the monitor and native resolution automatically if you go to the tab monitors and check 'detect settings automatically' |

CMPLENGTH=14 BOARDNAME=Radeon HD6450 | Assuming there is only one space in your BOARDNAME value, your CMPLENGTH should be (max.) 13 - it is the length of the board name (or the part of it you want to be significant when comparing potentially multiple ones in the drawer - quite theoretical for most users).
As for most of the rest of the tool types, you'd need to tell us the make and model of you monitor.
Best regards,

Today I received my Enhancer pack from AmiKit and shortly after I was fully up and running again, enjoying a full 1920 x 1200 display.
The Developers Release of the OS came with RadeonHD.chip version 1.8 and using that one for all my bootoptions, of which I now have 3: OS4.1 FE (Developers Release), OS4.1 FE (proper) and, the latest, OS4.1 FE upd 2, provides me with a 1920 x 1200 dispay.
This issue can be considered 'Solved'.
Thank you all!

Eh? Why are you using the ancient version of the driver when you have Enhancer and thus the new version of the driver?? _________________
