Re: Known software problems in OS4final

Posted on: 2007/1/1 10:08 #1761

Just can't stay away

@Chris

There is no problem in Missile Command game and it uses pointerclass too.

The "pointerclass" places some restrictions on the bitmap you give it:

1. planar format
2. 2 planes (no more, no less)
3. rows padded to closest 16-bit boundary

This last part means that you can't allocate the bitmap with AllocBitMap() because this function isn't guaranteed to give proper alignment. Instead you should create it yourself using InitBitMap() to initialise the struct BitMap and AllocRaster() to allocate the planes.

Quote:

InitBitMap(bm, 2, width, height);
bm->Planes[0] = AllocRaster(width, height);
bm->Planes[1] = AllocRaster(width, height);
if (bm->Planes[0] == NULL || bm->Planes[1] == NULL) {
err = NOTOK;
break;
}

Also if your bitmap is wider than 16-bit pixels you need to use POINTERA_WordWidth. Set this to (BytesPerRow >> 1).

[edit]
Also, you can't free the BitMap until after you have deleted the pointerclass object. That's why I use functions like these:

Quote:

typedef struct {
Object *ptr;
int32 width, height;
struct BitMap bm;
} pointer;

pointer *CreatePointer (char * filename, int32 xoffs, int32 yoffs);
void DeletePointer (pointer *ptr);

If you want I can send you the sources for these. The filename passed to CreatePointer() needs to be a 2-planed IFF-ILBM file.

VSYNCMIN=60
VSYNCMAX=85
HSYNCMIN=31500
HSYNCMAX=64000

These should be set to the correct values for your monitor (can usually be found on the monitor manufacturer's website).

P96 uses these to filter out modes that your monitor can't handle. If it's a CRT then it might break if it is sent a wrong horisontal and/or vertical frequency, whereas an LCD will just refuse to display it.

Using a lower resolution generally works. I'm using the default 1024x768 here and can't say I notice it. In 1280x1024 the tearing is terrible though.

Doesn't work here either using the IBrowse OEM version (haven't changed any settings or such).

Works in AWeb though, and that's the browser I use.

Don't panic. I had this same problem. After changing UBOOT
from Workbench it would boot to the insert disk screen. I
fixed mine by removing the battery and replacing it with a
new one and everything was fine. Just removing the battery
and putting it back in may work as well. I replaced mine
because I had a spare and it's been a year anyway. I seem
to have to replace it once a year on my uA1 anyway.

No need to replace the battery. Just go into U-boot menu and select the option to revert to "factory default settings". This also happens if/when you remove the battery but it's much easier to do it this way.

Can't even get the early boot screen using a PS/2 mouse (actually it's a USB mouse used through a PS/2 KVM with a PS/2 adapter). Holding down scroll lock (help key) works though.

@Raziel

Can't test now (compiling Wesnoth 1.2). I am aware that the datatype has more problems with some files though and that some won't display at all and cause crashes.

Have you installed IBrowse 2.4 (full version, not the OEM one included with the OS) on OS4?

According to some posts I've read the installer will replace some PPC MUI classes with 68K ones causing crashes in other MUI programs (YAM, etc.)...

In case anyone's interested the screenmodes fix has now been integrated into the Wesnoth CVS:

https://gna.org/patch/?643

The older Get-Addons are already in the 1.2 sources available on wesnoth.org.

Am currently in the process of making version 1.2 of Wesnoth for OS4.

@Raziel

Which version?

I recently uploaded a new version 0.6 to OS4Depot because a lot of people were using the datatype with older version 2.x of expat.library and were having problems (crashes in IBrowse, etc.) because of this.

The new version 0.6 refuses to work with older versions of expat.library for this reason.

expat.library 4.1

On-board Radeon 7000.

Probably it's your gfxcard that is not supported with overlay.

Both DvPlayer and MPlayer work correctly here with overlay.

Have you tried SDL video mode in MPlayer? According to the news item this is the only software mode now (which I assume means not overlay).

@Skov

It's called PIO, and it's found under the "IDE Ports" tab in U-Boot prefs. Just change the transfer mode of the unit your drive is attached to.

IIRC you have to explicitly set this to a UDMA mode or the a1ide.device will default to PIO so unless you've changed the setting it should default to the best PIO mode available.

In RAWBInfo the same RAmiga+D shortcut is used for both "Project->Delete Icon..." and "Icon Image->Default" menu items. I used to use the default image shortcut a lot on update #4 but now it doesn't work anymore.

The RAmiga+L shortcut is used for two different menu items also. Maybe others too. Haven't checked too closely.

I assume both your partitions are named System? If so rename one of them to OldSystem or similar and you will avoid these kinds of problems.

Haven't tried but something like this (from CLI) should work as well "run notepad dh0.1:s/startup-sequence".

I can see why it won't work with the ASL requester though, since the returned path will probably contain System: hence the problem. Typing the path manually into the asl requester might also work...

Still, these kinds of problems could be avoided if the ASL requester were to use the device name, which must be unique, rather than the usually more convenient volume name in cases like this where the volume name is not unique (two or more disks with same name).

Should be OK then. No idea why it doesn't work for you.

With OS4 final when I use normal make (instead of gmake) to compile using gcc (like f.e. with my svg.datatype) I always get requesters asking for "/usr/local/bin:".

Never had this problem with update #4. If I cancel them it compiles OK. Very annoying though...
