Yes, start up sys:prefs/icontrol and set mode promotion to on.

This ought to do it.

A better solution is to get the Imagine FAQ, and Azap and hack the imagine
executable to allow you to use a full overscan screeen. If you require 
assistance drop me a line.

You can also promote it using NewMode to any screenmode you like, but it's
unstable on big screens.

If you do promote it to a non similar screenmode then be prepared for some
very odd redraws at times. (i.e PAL->DblPAL is OK, PAL->Super72 is not)

<sore point alert>
This is one hell of a bogus deadheaded dumb annoying stupid gnat brained
restriction that eventually became one of the factors that made me move to 
Real3D, apart from this, enjoy Imagine, it's damn good.

Cheers,

Doug.
