It should work

Would it work with a Brother HL-3140CW laser printer ?

@AmigaSociety

When I switch between monitor or between HD and RX card, I do not have to update the monitor file

Make sure that the monitor file uses DDC for the screenmodes. Then the RX driver will be able to calculate applicable clocks frequencies.

It's imho too small/easy hack which anyone who have 68k can make if need it, but just in case: i put source to archive, so all what the one doing this need to do to for 68k version of it, is to replace SetMethod() by SetFuntion() and i do not know if OS3.x have WhichWorkbenchObject() support with all this types/paths, etc, so maybe need to change something for this part too to make it works on os3.x.


@All
New version:

-- hijack Intuition->DisplayBeep() as well, to disable wb-bar blinks after Filer's run and original OpenWindowTagList() returning NULL (thanks msteed for idea)
-- updated readme to be in sync

In other words, you have no needs to disable prefs:sound alerts now, and can keep it working.

There is:

What else can be done there ? Only commoditie support, probably ?

Is it possible to have a 68k version?

One day left of the competition folks! Good luck!

December is almost here! Any suggestions on what to play?

@AmigaSociety

I'll post here when my system arrives.

Last I heard from them (AAA) was on the 8th of November. At that time, almost all boards were tested at the manufacturer and they expected to receive them this month. Hopefully they'll get boards and systems shipped out in December.

No YouTube video from me, but I'll write a review for my blog.

@AmigaSociety

yea..been a while since i done it, don't remember how.

just realize i have 2 480 8gb card laying around. not sure if they work on sam460ex or fit in it because of my soundcard and sata card. if anyone need i can sell those very cheap

nox

@noXLar

That is why I had asked as I was unsure if I have to do more or if main RX chip is where it belongs, some minimum video happens so I can then set up the new display, much like when installing Amiga OS for the first time, some minimum is in place to see the video card for basic video.

@AmigaSociety

shouldn't you change monitor driver in devs too? remember i needed to do that when i upgraded. so your gfx card not load old settings, correct me if wrong.

As long as you're hacking anyway, you could always patch DisplayBeep() to ignore calls from the Workbench task. Of course, then you stop Workbench from flashing the screen for any reason.

A more elegant fix would be to have a global flag that is shared by both the OpenWindowTagList() patch and the DisplayBeep() patch. If the flag is clear, as it normally would be, the DisplayBeep() patch allows Workbench to flash the screen. When the OpenWindowTagList() patch opens Filer and passes NULL back to Workbench, it also sets the flag. When the DisplayBeep() patch sees the flag is set it blocks Workbench from flashing the screen that one time, and then clears the flag. That way, only the next Workbench call to DisplayBeep() after a new Filer window is opened is blocked. All other DisplayBeep() calls from Workbench are allowed, as well as calls from any other program.

Multi-tasking might mess with this scheme, but that shouldn't be a problem with Workbench, as it typically only does something in response to user actions, so it's effectively single-threaded. If it gets it wrong on rare occasion, hey, it's only a hack!

@rjd324

Ah ha... yeh mine does not have that!

I will make sure to add that and save before I swap cards.

Thx!

TJ

Just definitely double check that your file, named "kicklayout" in that directory, named "kickstart", somewhere contains the line:

@Paul

Yeh sometimes I show up late to the party. hahaha

Thanks for the tips!

TJ

@AmigaSociety

Yes, you're right. Sorry about the misdirection. It appears that the RadeonRX.chip IS now part of Enhancer. I got mine far enough back that I had to buy it seperately.

Paul

@Paul

That Radeon RX driver is part of the Enhancer 2.2 if I am not mistaken. I should already have that, unless I am confused on that.

I see the RadeonRX.chip in my Kickstarter directory so appears to be the case.

I take it a card swap now and she should boot.

Thanks for the notes.

TJ

@AmigaSociety

Before you swap cards, you'll need to get the RadeonRX chip driver from Aeon and put it in your kickstart drawer, and then add the Line: "MODULE Kickstart/RadeomRX.chip" to your Kicklayout file.

Hopefully, someone else can chime in if I've forgotten something.

Paul

I am running at 2.5k resolution on my AmigaOne X5K using the stock card that came inside, a Radeon HD7750. I have a Radeon RX580 on its way. Running Enhancer 2.2 so drivers should be OK, I believe.

Am I fairly safe to power down, swap cards, and the X5K boot with some form of video so I can then get into prefs and alter, adjust, as needed?

Will it boot under 1080p or ??

Just don't want to swap cards before I confirm just in case I need to do something on the video prefs 1st.

Thx

tj

this will be nice. I not long ago ditched my 21 year old laser printer for a new model which has AirPrint support so with a bit of luck it should be golden.

Looking forward to it
