Hi, Hmm, when I do that here, I get value out of range, wich seems reasonable Wolfgang try OPEN#3,con BORDER#3,2400,2 ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

What are scr_xlim and scr_ylim? I certainly get value out of range for smaller values or border size. But try BORDER#4,32000,2 for example.

I am running QPC2 under Windows XP running under the virtual machine provided by VWware on an Apple Mac. There are so many layers that it is not easy to see which one is complaining. The second thing I noticed was that although a fairly large size was accepted by QPC2 the keys SHIFT/CTRL/F12 failed to work correctly. Sounds more like a graphic driver problem to me. When I try again to get SHIFT/CTRL/F12 to work it does so perfectly well. I think that any fault is very unlikely then to be due to QPC2. However, if I find more peculiarities I'll report.

SHIFT/CTRL/F12 sets the QL screen to fill the whole PC window. All the Windows buttons for delete, buttonise etc are not there. I used this first when giving a talk to show a better looking view of the QL. Pressing SHIFT/CTRL/F12 again reverts to the more usual QL being just another program shown on the windows screen. I now use this regularly. It makes me forget that windows is there. George ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Ah, I see that I've limited the SMSQ/E config block item to 2048x2048, I guess my configuration dialog check these limits automatically, too. In my defense, I did write that block in times where 800x600 was considered normal. ;-) This can easily be changed if you like.

Getting this to work reliably was a nightmare anyway. Now a further problem seems to be that programs that do fullscreen like QPC seem to become less and less common and graphics drivers get worse and worse in their support. At least that's my feeling. But in the times of LCD screens it's becoming less and less useful anyway, as they only look good in their native resolution. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

P Witte wrote: There are some other unexpected limits though. Good thinking, yes. Haven't thought of that but you're certainly right. The resolutions now boldly go where no QL has gone before, so all kind of previously hidden limits might be triggered. FILL appears to have a problem at higher resolutions.

The fill buffer is currently only good for 1024 lines, so this crash was a close one ;-) Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] QPC2 screen size
I now have access to a larger screen size of Windows XP than before. The first thing I noticed was that QPC2 had a limit on size. The second thing I noticed was that although a fairly large size was accepted by QPC2 the keys SHIFT/CTRL/F12 failed to work correctly. Instead of the whole Windows screen being filled with QL, the area was just black. Does anyone know the limit of QL screen size for the proper working of SHIFT/CTRL/F12?
