HDMI Output

I have a weird problem with my Vampire V600 and a Dell U2410 monitor. When I change the screen resolution to something it does support or it use the native Amiga output (SuperFrog WHDload) it goes into Sleep mode and once its in this state it will not exit. A Warm reboot does it fix it

Any thoughts?

i think superfrog is not rtg and goes to rgb in whdload, therefore no output to hdmi unless using a gold 3 with aga

Lets describe problem better:

Any app that uses Amiga chipset (like WHDLoad) and goes via Amiga outpout puts DIGITAL-VIDEO connected monitor to sleep?

a) See monitor settings and usually keys on monitor, you can adjust monitor not to go to sleep when there is no signal

b) If SAGASleep is activated, and causing trouble (not restoring back), disable it.

I experencied same with that same Dell screen model. The screen seems to "freeze" and cant switch to another source.

Some of the Dell monitors are very picky on timings. Some even need to be unplugged when the computer sends an S3 sleep mode signal.

You could try circumventing this using an active DIGITAL-VIDEO switch, but it's probably cheaper to get ahold of another used 24" LCD monitor.

Its unlikely to have the SAGASleep in the WHDLoad.prefs as i'm using ClassicWB as the base for my System

Using the latest SAGA drivers 0.13 seems to have made it much better
