RE: MGRAS Custom VFO for 1920x1200
Cool, my display doesn't like 1080 vertical lines though. it defaults to a very stretched 1280x1024 output as the controller doesn't understand anything between 1024 and 1200. :/

I spent a fruitless 2 hours last night trying to build 1600x1200 for the O2. No joy, the monitor kept thinking it was being fed 19201200 and I got the usual bottom right image repeat. I'll keep trying....

RE: MGRAS Custom VFO for 1920x1200
I've got the 1920x1200 which I've had to adjust for the 59.95Hz refresh on my panel, which is slightly off from the 59.5Hz on your .vfs - this works though.

I was bemoaning the lack 1080 support on my display which would probably work OK on my O2. My O2 won't play ball with 1600x1200 or 1920x1200, I don't think the O2 was meant to push these resolutions, being the little brother/sister of them all.

Give this a try (obviously you have to unzip it first, the forum only takes files with certain extensions and vfo ain't one of them).

Thanks, no luck... I'm not sure I've worked with vfo files on the Octane.  I've been compiling vfs to sdb's and loading with setmon.  I get invald file with this one, however, it may be user error on this method.  I've also walked up and down the subtract 32 pixels for reduced blanking with no success using my vfs file.  Perhaps my EDID info is wrong for this monitor.  IDK.

RE: MGRAS Custom VFO for 1920x1200
So I'm not an expert on the nuances of Octane boards however, looking from your original inventory you have an EMXI, which officially only supports 1600 x 1200. There claim to be hacks that allow you to just barely get to 1920 x 1200 but they claim you have to use a clock pixel under 160 MHz and a blinking divisible by eight. Even then, that's not guaranteed.
