CYBRBIDTG_NominalWidth

(Word) desired width the ModeID should have

CYBRBIDTAG_NominalHeight

(LongWord) if multiple graphics boards are installed in the system, you can choose the desired one with this tag Currently supported boards are:

• 1 = CVision64
• 2 = Piccolo
• 3 = PicassoII
• 4 = Spectrum
• 5 = Domino
• 6 = RetinaZ3/DraCoAltais
• 7 = PiccoSD64
• 8 = A2410

CYBRBIDTG_BoardName

(STRPTR) - Specify the card name directly. For example, pass 'CVision3D' to get a CyberVision64/3D board ID

Errors

Older versions return displaymode IDs with wrong depth if the desired color depth is not available. If you specify very small widths/heights (e.g. 50/20 icon size) this call returns INVALID_ID instead of the smallest available lowres ID.
