My CreateDisplay failing in AOS3.

Code: Select all
CreateDisplay(0, {Width=1920, Height=1080, Mode="SystemScale", ScaleMode=#SCALEMODE_AUTO, Smoothscale=True, FitScale=True, KeepProportions=True, sizeable=True})
OpenDisplay(0)
One reporting said that he tried to open the AOS3.exe in 1920x1080 16-bit screenmode (I suppose in emulator)
Why does this line fail? I assumed using SystemScale and #ScaleMode_Auto would have made it to basically work always.

Isn't SystemScale more for scaling up on high-dpi monitors? And is there any way to detect dpi settings on AmigaOS anyway so could that mode even work on Amigas in theory?
You should also have a pretty hefty Amiga to run any scaled content... maybe some emulated setups could do it, but I don't think any real Amigas could scale anything in acceptable speed. Especially that insane resolution
And we should know the exact setup he tried it.. a 1920x1080x16bit screen takes about 4MB graphics memory alone, so it might run out of mem if the setup has a graphics card with about that much or less memory.

Yeah, didnt expect it to get any speed, but figured it should have anyway started.

TextOut(0,i,StrStr(i))
Next
For i=0 To 1920 Step 20
Line(i,0,i,1080)
TextOut(i,(i/20)*10,StrStr(i))
Next
