VICE bug (?) - Screen not refreshing on secondary monitor

I have this issue with the screen not refreshing on the secondary monitor. Is it a known bug? Is there a solution?

it avoids non even scaling factors, which would create ugly artefacts.

I think this is more of a windows bug / hardware issue than a vice bug, since I have the same thing with VLC and flash movies in firefox...

wat

unless you`re tormenting your eyes with a cathode ray tube display,switching to a lower resolution than the native one for your LCD results in ugly artifacts anyway.

and why is free scaling being introduced to WinVice then ?

wtf? :P original resolution with borders is nearly 400x300. 800x600 is for more accurate rendering of pal effect. not to mention that with my new setup i cannot switch to resolution lesser than 640x480. clear? :P

and? ofcourse you CAN use the native resolution of your display?

thats just a side effect of hardware accelerated scaling, which allows free scaling without any extra programming (and no cpu overhead).

800x600, double size, pal, odd lines phase 1.0, odd lines offset 1.5.

no. 800x600 is LESS than i want to use if you didnt get my question.

btw: "800x600 is for more accurate rendering of pal effect"- lol how do they relate ? take a screen shot in the resolution 1024x768,1280x1024 or any other you wish and tell me how it affects the "pal effect".

yes ofcourse- with this result. i get about the same effect using the windowed mode and a black wallpaper:)

maybe i didn't get the whole matter. i assume that if people don't see the border, they use too low resolution or sth o_O btw vice doesn't stretch the render to the whole screen thus i have to use multiplication of 400x300 that is 800x600 to have proper fullscreen view. i have crt display.

Isn't it obvious?
But i don't feel like explaing for people with that attitude. But wait... half scene has that attitude! So what? Screw them all!
