Support for Amiga monochrome 1004x1024 mode
As I have heard just now, there was a A2024 monitor with an internal framebuffer that could display a very special 1004x1024 screen mode with 4 grey scales. For this the Amiga (even OCS with appropriate drivers) would output the 4 quadrants of the picture alternatingly. The monitor buffers all the data to show whole pictures. This works very much like the current implementation of the de-interlacing.
Additionally it extends the horizontal resolution as well to 1004 pixels. I have no details on how this is done, but I very much guess that two high-res pixels with 3 bit color depth are always combined to 3 pixesl with 2 bit.
I think it would be very cool to support this screen mode. As the total data rate for this is quite low (only 3 bit at 14Mhz) this should be possible, I guess. But I don't know which obstacles there may be and if it is then also possible to auto-detect this mode (which would be totally awesome).
I used to have this monitor back in the past, this would be an amazing addition for any (ECS) Amiga.
Is there some documentation on how to compile the firmware?
