I'm getting a lot of recoverable alerts too! This did not happen in previous versions. After it finished to load the homepage, I browse to some othr place and the recoverale alerts start, after a few secs. it crashes with grimreaper

Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

I tried the NOBLITTER=YES tooltype... no luck It didn't help. Could this be a bug? I mean, these resolutions work just OK under OS3.9 and.. ahem.. MorphOS.

@Jurassic

Thanks for your reply. This problem appears when screen mode is higher than 1600x1200 and more slightly in 1280x1024x24 (yes, only in 24 bit). I'm using the new method to create screenmodes (tooltypes in the monitor file), I have't created any screenmode usinig p96mode. Here's how my monitor's tooltypes look:

VSYNCMIN=50
VSYNCMAX=160
HSYNCMIN=31500
HSYNCMAX=95000
MODE=640x400@85
MODE=640x480@85
MODE=800x600@56
MODE=1024x768@56
MODE=1280x960@56
MODE=1280x1024@56
MODE=1280x1024x24@55
MODE=1600x1200@56
MODE=1792x1344@60
MODE=1856x1392@60
MODE=1920x1440@56
(FAKENATIVEMODES=Yes)
INTERRUPT=No

So, the problem shows up on:
1792x1344x16
1856x1392x16
1920x1440x16
and 1280x1024x24 (it shows as 1280x1024x32 in the screenmode list). There is something weird with THIS mode, it shows up in the screenmode list at first boot, but after a softreset, it doesn't!!).

The problem is more visible while the WB is on any of these screenmodes and you drag a window around, you will see the lines around the edges. And it's even more visible if you have black blackground behind.

Anyway, I hope you can do some testing, I'm pretty sure this is a problem in p96 video drivers in OS4, because I have similar screenmodes under CGFX in OS3.9 without any problem at all.

I will try your suggestion (blitter tooltype) and will report to this thread.

Thanks!

OS4 classic video problems in high res. screen modes.
Just popping in
Just popping in


Hi!!

I don't know if anybody has reported this before, I did not find any thread covering this (on BvisionPPC.. I know there are threads regarding video problems with mediators/voodoo).

I'm running OS4 classic on my Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC and BVision. My problem is that everytime I use a screenmode like 1600x1200 (16 bit), some vertical and white lines appear randomly on the screen, they appear too when I move a window around... I guess this is a software driver problem, 'cause higher screen modes like 1792x1344 work just perfect on OS 3.x. I even had a lockup while browsing WB menus while my WB was set in this screenmode and the mentioned lines were appearing.

I can provide more information/details if needed.

Thanks!

Re: Anyone using DiskLed docky?

@joerg

I just wish Diskled supported 68K devices, sadly it doesn't seem to be any OS4 update including support for BlizzardPPC's scsi controller anytime soon (I assume that would be ppc natve)... in my case, my A1200 is towered in a elbox power tower, but due to the Bvision and floppy power connector I can't connect the tower's led lead to the motherboard... so, sometimes I have no clue when disk is being accessed... I'm sure it's many people's problem too.

Cheers!

Thanks Joerg! Is there a posibility of making it support 68k devices sometime? That would be great!

Anyone using DiskLed docky?
Just popping in
Just popping in


Hi folks,

I'm running AmigaOS4 on my A1200 and I'm running DiskLed docky by Joerg S., I configured the tooltypes of the docy's icon for the devices I want to monitor and then I dragged the icon to Amidock but it doesn't seem to work, everytime I access the devices nothing appears in the DiskLed docky. Here's how I configured the icon's tooltypes:

DEVICE=scsi.device,0
DEVICE=scsi.device,1
DEVICE=x-surf.device,0

... and yes, I have drives connected to those devices and units, the x-surf is configured in roadshow and I can access the internet and everything... what am I doing wrong?? or is it that it doesn't support Classics running OS4? Shouldn't it work fine on any OS4 setup no matter if classic or A1?

Thanks!

D.

@AmiDog

Exactly, the chip is that one, 53c710... so, there are drivers for other cards with this chip, also there are Linux drivers as you clearly point.. but we don't kknow anything about scsi and as some say, this is an almost impossible task, because there are no developers with enough scsi knowledge in the amiga scene... so, how's the CyberstormPPC uwscsi controller supported and working with OS 4? magic maybe?

Why do you expect anything has changed a few weeks after the release, or will change in the future?


You're right, now that you mention all this, I shouldn't expect anything... that's why I was asking, if I would have known this, I wouldn't even have bothered asking..

Thanks for clarifying this.

@TiredOfLife

Really? It would be awesome if they supported the BPPC's scsi controller in this coming update... it's way too slow on IDE.

Thanks,

Hi,

this probably has been talked so many times before.. I supose there's an update coming in the next few weeks for the problems reported with mediator and graphics cards... so i just wanted to know if we can expect the BlizzardPPC SCSI controller to be supported with this update or any other in the future...

Cheers,

Dragster
