Hello all,
I suspect this monitor is just faulty, as I get the same if I plug it into a Windows laptop via HDMI>VGA adapter, but...
13.8" viewable area 15" CTX VL 500 monitor, immaculate, fresh out of factory sealed box. Supposedly 1280x1024.
With intentionally wrong settings on Windows and on the MiSTer, it flashes its LEDs, clearly an error code, so it clearly knows SOMEthing!
I set to what I THNK are the right settings and it jut shows normal LEDs as though it's receiving a correct signal.
But the screen remains blank. I'm going to go on a CRT forum, but if anyone happens to know if I have any settings wrong, please let me know. Plugged directly into the MiSTer Multisystem's VGA.
Greatful for any help. Have tried these settings and few others, but there's too many combinations to just mess around:
;dvi_mode=0;disabled, have tried a few other settings
forced_scandoubler=1 ; set to 1 to run scandoubler on VGA output always (depends on core).
composite_sync=0 ; set to 1 for composite sync on HSync signal of VGA output.
vga_mode=rgb ; supported modes: rgb, ypbpr, svideo, cvbs. rgb is default
key_menu_as_rgui=0 ; set to 1 to make the MENU key map to RGUI in Minimig (e.g. for Right Amiga)
vga_scaler=0 ; set to 1 to connect VGA to scaler output.
hdmi_audio_96k=0 ; set to 1 for 96khz/16bit HDMI audio (48khz/16bit otherwise)
keyrah_mode=0x18d80002 ; VIDPID of keyrah for special code translation (0x23418037 for Arduino Micro)
vscale_mode=0 ; 0 - scale to fit the screen height.
vscale_border=0 ; set vertical border for TVs cutting the upper/bottom parts of screen (1-399)
rbf_hide_datecode=0 ; 1 - hides datecodes from rbf file names. Press F2 for quick temporary toggle
menu_pal=0 ; 1 - PAL mode for menu core
hdmi_limited=0 ; 1 - use limited (16..235) color range over HDMI
; 2 - use limited (16..255) color range over HDMI, for VGA converters.
direct_video=0 ; 1 - enable core video timing over HDMI, use only with VGA converters.
hdr=0 ; 1 - enable HDR using the BT2020 color space (faux-HDR, use color controls to tweak).
; 2 - enable HDR using the DCI P3 color space.
; 3 - enable HDR without color space conversion.
fb_size=0 ; 0 - automatic, 1 - full size, 2 - 1/2 of resolution, 4 - 1/4 of resolution.
fb_terminal=0 ; 1 - enabled (default), 0 - disabled
osd_timeout=30 ; 5-3600 timeout (in seconds) for OSD to disappear in Menu core. 0 - never timeout.
; Background picture will get darker after double timeout
video_off=0 ; output black frame in Menu core after timeout (is seconds). Valid only if osd_timout is non zero.
osd_rotate=0 ; Display OSD menu rotated, 0 - no rotation, 1 - rotate right (+90°), 2 - rotate left (-90°)
vga_sog=0 ; 1 - enable sync on green (needs analog I/O board v6.0 or newer).
