How do you go about setting up a dual playfield display under Intuition? The Intuition manual suggests it's possible, but doesn't give details. The RKM shows how to set up a dual playfield display but not with Intuition. I've sort of got it working by opening an Intuition window with DUALPF set and then reorganising things the way I want them. However, the display momentarily does colorful things during this setup, and I then seem to have a problem with the color map. I opened the window with 6 bitplanes, and Intuition initialised it with two playfields, one with 6 bitplanes and the other with none! I changed this to use 3 bitplanes for each playfield. Unfortunately, I only seem to have 8 colours, shared by the two playfields, instead of 16 colours with the first 8 for playfield 1 and the second for playfield 2. Are there any wise people out there who can suggest the "correct" way to do this thing? cheers phi (phi%goanna.cs.rmit.oz.au@australia)
