@Hans stated not too long ago that DisplayPort is non-functional:

I fear people are waiting for mirari with future amigaos support if they are interested in new PPC hardware at all

Is Cerberus X easy portable to OS4?
Cerberus X is based on Monkey X programming language created long ago by Mark Sibly.
Is a game development language made for hobbyists, indies ecc

@Maijestro @Djk83 - thank you for your kind words
I am currently undergoing a small revolution, switching completely to ARM. My x86_64 broke down and I have no intention of repairing it.
My old machine for the AOS4 hardware project, which cost €35 for x86_64 for PCI passthrough, still works for me, but it's only used to run AOS4 and nothing else.
I have a backup of all data related to compilation and programs for AOS4, but... I have wanted to get rid of x86_64 for a long time and now seems like the best time
I bought a new Mac M4 (memory prices are rising and I don't know how much Apple will raise prices in its annual calculations), and my Mac mini m1 will be used to install Asahi Linux.
I need to rebuild things for ARM on the new system to compile something for AOS4.
AOS4 is just a hobby, so first I need to build my environment for Linux ARM. Linux is my primary system, along with MacOS.

Hi, I tested DisplayPort on my Radeon 560 and it's not recognized.

However, Uboot recognizes DisplayPort.

You need to use a 48 Gbps HDMI cable for 4K 240hz, lower rated HDMI cables will revert to lower refresh rates.
If you're using the cable supplied with the monitor then you're probably ok.

4K 240hz is part of the "HDMI 2.0" spec, I'm not sure if that is a different protocol to DVI/HDMI 1.x that needs driver support.



*edit* The Radeon RX 580 has HDMI 2.0b, which can only drive a 4K display at 60hz and 1440p at 144hz iirc.

I think it can do higher refresh rates through Display Port but I'm out of the loop with OS4, I'm not sure the Radeon HD/RX drivers support Display Port output.

Changing license to a more compatible license. Sense aim is integration with clib4.

Yeh… its a prototype… its not integrated. Obviously.

The readme is properly should be included with ALL vfork's, I don’t think you can make a vfrok without messing with stack frames on Amiga..

Because AmigaOS relies heavily on direct memory access, it is considered a, "tedious task that requires a lot of thinking and discipline" to keep pointers safe.

Just because you think something work, does not automatically make it safe.

Quote:Using LGPL instead of for example a BSD, MIT or Apache style licence prevents including your vfork() implementation in nearly all AmigaOS C libraries: libnix, vclib, clib2, newlib, clib4, etc.

The only exception is the ixemul C library, which already has a way better vfork() implementation (incl. dup()ing all FDs, etc.) ...

Same happens here with X1000.

When launched from RAM I can play in settings, when copied to SSD, opening Rave's settings window locks the Tool / App.

The system continues to work in background, I can move the mouse but can not quit Rave.
No GrimReaper. OS4.1FE update 3

On XE the issue is not present. Nor on Sam440.

I am happy you are in the OS4 Dev Team!

Event by the North East Amiga Group

St Nicholas Church Hall, North Road, West Boldon, NE36 0QQ

Note for directions: The hall is at the junction of North Road and Rectory Bank, NOT where shown on Google Maps!

£10.00 per person to defray hall costs.
Under 16's go free.

Meeting times: 12.00 noon - 4.00pm

This is our inaugural meeting and all are welcome

Primarily an Amiga Group but other retro is also welcome

There will be talk by Fred 'OldAmigan' Booth - 'Computers, The Internet and the Amiga'

Tea and coffee provided
We'll all be internally grateful for donations of biscuits and cakes!

This is still available.

What are the highest hertz in Amiga OS 4.1 with 4K resolution?

I bought a new monitor Samsung OLED32G81SF and with it I get 1920x1080 120Hz but 2560x1440 60Hz and 3840x2160 only 30Hz.

The machine is X5000/20 and it has a graphics card RX580 8Gb.

Thanks in advance for the information.

The crash prevented the Grim Reaper window from opening, and I don't have another machine handy to capture serial debug output. So I use Sashimi to redirect the serial output to a console window, or in this case a disk file. That won't work if the system goes down completely, but that wasn't the case here.

+1. I hadn't realized there was still a need for Sashimi (or even an OS4 port) in the era of Grim Reapers and serial output.

@trixie

Thanks for the update. Working fine here on my MicroA1.

On my side, X1000 also, I've got a complete freeze of the app if I play with the preferences, Once I click on the File Requester option.

Kind regards,
Xavier.

@trixie

I see the same behaviour on my X1000 as msteed, although this was (so far) just a quick test on my beta install.

If you need it, I can make a serial log, and also try it on a public install and/or on my X5000/40 if relevant. You know my contact details .

Best regards,

Niels

Just wanted to post an update on this.

I configured Amiberry to only use uaenet and disabled bsdscoket. Once that was configured, I installed roadshow using uaenet.

Everything now works including many other network applications that did not previously.

So it appears a full tcp stack is needed for BoingTube plus many more.
