Visualization Screen Resolution

Hallo!

WA5 rocks, using the Invicta skin.

But have encountered a problem i can't find any setting for. My screen resolution!

I'm running dual monitor setup using a Radeon 7500 at 1024/760 on both using a P4/2.4g with 512m RAM. But I cannot find any setting anywhere in the WA menus to make my visualization match my screen resolution. It drops down to 640/480 when I try to run at fullscreen mode.

Help?!!

Yes, using AVS.

I can use 'fullscreen' fine, but when I select it I get a block of low-res (640 x 480) graphics anchored to the left side of my primary display with a 1 inch margin top and bottom and a 2 inch margin on the right.

How do I tell AVS to use my current resolution (1024 x 760)and correct fullscreen mode?

The steps I gave you should bring you to the fullscreen options. Did you try changing the resolution in the 'Full screen video mode:' dropdown box? Try checking or unchecking 'Fullscreen overlay mode'

You might want to try the MilkDrop visualization it has DualHead (Multimon) support. MilkDrop comes with Winamp 5.

Could a Mod move to this to this to the AVS Troubleshooting or a appropriate Visualization forum. Thank you

If you're going to use avs at that resolution you're in for a big disappointment, simply enough: AVS just ain't fast enough for those resolutions.
You should try milkdrop indeed if big resolution is what you want.

Alternatively, you could run AVS in desktop mode. There are instuction in the Unofficial AVS FAQ in the main avs forum.

Yeah, and what graphics card you have has nothing to do with AVS. It's all about how much RAM ya got (I think...). Anyway, I'm running 512mb of ram, and I can barly run AVS fullscreen at 640x480.

It's all about CPU speed and RAM speed. Not the amount of RAM... today system RAM size really doesn't matter much because there's so much of it.

crap, proven wrong by UCD again! 😉

hmmm.... *trys to figure out a way to install winamp on the school's supercomputer and run AVS at ludicrously high resolution....*
