View Ref-FileFAQ - Why is the 'Change resolution' option greyed out?               Thing

Q: Why is the 'Change resolution' option always greyed out under 
   Single-TOS? The built in Falcon desktop can change resolutions...

A: Under the MagiC operating system functions to perform a 'clean' 
   resolution change are provided, which don't exist in Single-TOS!
   There simply isn't a legal way to change resolution under Single-TOS. 
   Even if I delved deep into the system and used some undocumented 
   'illegal' calls the chances of this working with graphics cards, 
   OverScan etc. are small.

   Tip: There are utilities such as SelectDevice which can perform a
         resolution change under Single-TOS. These can then also be 
         entered as RSMASTER. With the help of RSMASTER it also works
         with N.AES, by the way!
