A few lines from linux-2.2.10/Documentation/m68k/kernel-options.txt in case you have to edit your Start script (ie, you have an AGA capable machine, but want to use a pal display, use video=amifb:pal. See below for more.). 5) Options for Amiga Only: ========================== 5.1) video= ----------- Syntax: video=: The parameter specifies the name of the frame buffer, valid options are `amifb', `cyber', `virge', `retz3' and `clgen', provided that the respective frame buffer devices have been compiled into the kernel (or compiled as loadable modules). The behavior of the option was changed in 2.1.57 so it is now recommended to specify this option. The is a comma-separated list of the sub-options listed below. This option is organized similar to the Atari version of the "video"-option (4.1), but knows fewer sub-options. 5.1.1) video mode ----------------- Again, similar to the video mode for the Atari (see 4.1.1). Predefined modes depend on the used frame buffer device. OCS, ECS and AGA machines all use the color frame buffer. The following predefined video modes are available: NTSC modes: - ntsc : 640x200, 15 kHz, 60 Hz - ntsc-lace : 640x400, 15 kHz, 60 Hz interlaced PAL modes: - pal : 640x256, 15 kHz, 50 Hz - pal-lace : 640x512, 15 kHz, 50 Hz interlaced ECS modes: - multiscan : 640x480, 29 kHz, 57 Hz - multiscan-lace : 640x960, 29 kHz, 57 Hz interlaced - euro36 : 640x200, 15 kHz, 72 Hz - euro36-lace : 640x400, 15 kHz, 72 Hz interlaced - euro72 : 640x400, 29 kHz, 68 Hz - euro72-lace : 640x800, 29 kHz, 68 Hz interlaced - super72 : 800x300, 23 kHz, 70 Hz - super72-lace : 800x600, 23 kHz, 70 Hz interlaced - dblntsc-ff : 640x400, 27 kHz, 57 Hz - dblntsc-lace : 640x800, 27 kHz, 57 Hz interlaced - dblpal-ff : 640x512, 27 kHz, 47 Hz - dblpal-lace : 640x1024, 27 kHz, 47 Hz interlaced - dblntsc : 640x200, 27 kHz, 57 Hz doublescan - dblpal : 640x256, 27 kHz, 47 Hz doublescan VGA modes: - vga : 640x480, 31 kHz, 60 Hz - vga70 : 640x400, 31 kHz, 70 Hz Please notice that the ECS and VGA modes require either an ECS or AGA chipset, and that these modes are limited to 2-bit color for the ECS chipset and 8-bit color for the AGA chipset. 5.1.2) depth ------------ Syntax: depth: Specify the number of bit-planes for the selected video-mode. 5.1.3) inverse -------------- Use inverted display (black on white). Functionally the same as the "inverse" sub-option for the Atari. 5.1.4) font ----------- Syntax: font: Specify the font to use in text modes. Functionally the same as the "font" sub-option for the Atari, except that `PEARL8x8' is used instead of `VGA8x8' if the vertical size of the display is less than 400 pixel rows. 5.1.5) monitorcap: ------------------- Syntax: monitorcap:;;; This describes the capabilities of a multisync monitor. For now, only the color frame buffer uses the settings of "monitorcap:". and are the minimum and maximum, resp., vertical frequencies your monitor can work with, in Hz. and are the same for the horizontal frequency, in kHz. The defaults are 50;90;15;38 (Generic Amiga multisync monitor).
