Same harddware here. 512 RAM. Takes about 2 minutes for a blank xscreen to appear tonight if I click the Abiword start icon. But so far Abiword itself hasn't started.

Using this from a shell, actually nothing happens, whether I run it from the prompt set at the cygnix directory or from the Amiga system prompt. (I've added the Cygnix stuff to the path in the startup-sequence}

Since my first question here, I have removed everything Cygnix related (as far as I know) and re-installed from scratch. This time it didn't put ANYTHING in user-startup. I copied back what I posted above and put it in user-startup again.

Was Xami part of the 1st gen Cygnix stuff? Otherwise, I don't remember installing any Xserver stuff since I tried Wolf Faust's stuff years ago on my A4000.

At least 24 seconds on my Sam.

On my Pegasos 2, it takes only 4 seconds to display the full desktop with full of software's icons.

I don't have any problems with SDK and AmiCygnix. I uploaded a crashlog of Idesk to os4depot because it crashes quite often on my system.

And if that on a SAM

I installed the base archive and the extra archive and double clicked etc and bang, worked from day one.

I did have the SDK already installed prior to performing the above.

Now I really must get a proper darn printer

How about PySol? (solitaire)

Regarding AmiCygnix performance on Sam440, the main speed problem seems to be scrolling - you can see the CPU redrawing the bitmap at the new position. Same goes dragging windows in AmiCygnix.

If AmiCygnix could somehow use blitter-like operations (i.e let the gfx card do the work rather than the CPU), then I think AmiCygnix would be really FAAAAAST.

xmms is a classic music player for linux that has plugins for all imaginable formats.
i bet it handles real audio.

Why? Once you have all libraries requried for any part of Mozilla ported to AmigaOS you should be able to build all of it (FireFox, ThunderBird, SeaMonkey, ...) with (next to) no additional work.

Yep it's tue, Mozilla Suite is discontinued (latest version is 1.7.13 aniway) but you can try to port SeaMonkey

Now, if I may ask something. I crated a folder inside the basic/installation drawer of AmiCygnix called Backdrops. There I placed several images (jpg format at 1680x1050). Whatever image I choose AmiCygnix doesn't seem to loaded. I got black and white horizontal lines. Why's that happen?

Umm... How about the old Mozilla 1.7.5 sources. They are used internally by OpenOffice.org and would be a useful tool on their own right.

my most urgent wishes is for cygnux not to clash at all with the amigaos sdk.
it still clashes with the latest sdk

my second wish is for it to work from a jxfs partition.

I'd prefer Konsole. I don't want all of KDE, but Konsole would be cool.

I do not have abc-shell, nor the SDK installed, do I need them?

That setenv SAVE command did the trick. The AmiCygnix 'dock' now works and I can also shut it down.

And yes, I do start it by double-clicking Start_AmiCygnix.bat.

One change I did make was to move the line which executes the Cygnix-startup from User-Startup to the AmiCygnix drawer. I changed the name to "ClickMe" and changed the default tool to C:IconX. For some reason it doesn't execute the Cygnix-Startup when I double click on it. I checked the icon settings and they are the same as the ones for Start_AmiCygnix.bat. Of course that wasn't my ONLY problem because even when I ran it from a Shell I was having problems.

Just a suggestion, wouldn't it be just as easy to add a line to the beginning of Start_AmiCygnix.bat to execute Cygnix-Startup?
