My white Thermaltake case is several years old because I had my AmigaoneXE in it first then when I got my X5040 board, I moved it into there retiring the XE MB. It is still pearly white!

From a cold boot, the keyboard backlite blinked on and off during the x5000 splash screen. When it got to the OS selection screen, it scrolled a list of the same error and then finally booted into OS4. At that time, I could type in notepad. I did a reset and when it got to the OS selection screen, I got the same scrolling error, booted to OS4, backlit on but would not respond to any typing in notepad.

I tried to connect through a powered USB hub. It booted and I got no error on the OS select but the keyboard didn't work either. It booted to OS4 but no backlite and unable to type in notepad.

For what it is worth, I tried it on my Ubuntu Server. The keyboard worked but the backlite did not. When Ubuntu booted, the backlite blinked on and off and then booted. When I hit scroll lock to turn on the backlite, it did not work.

I haven't seriously looked at cases yet. Now that my SAM460LE ships tomorrow that is encouraging me to find it a nice home. I built my X5040 in a nice white Thermaltake case backlit red. Any suggestions? Just don't want one too pricy.

Well, I got good news. Acube emailed me this morning saying that my board should ship tomorrow and to verify my shipping address. I will keep you posted.

ACUBE contacted me in early December to finish final payment pre-order and said they would be shipping at or around Dec 15. I emailed them and they said they would email with tracking as soon as it ships. That is going on a month now.

I purchased a nice ByTech backlite USB keyboard for my X5000. During the Splash screen, the keyboard lights up and then goes out. When it boots up in the Uboot screen, I get a bunch of errors and then finally boots. When it first boots, the keyboard works as a keyboard but to turn on the backlights, you have to hit "Scroll LOCK" but nothing happens. 

I rebooted and the keyboard backlite turns on but the keyboard does not function. I get the USB popup that it recognizes it as a USB keyboard. If I unplug and plug the usb, again I get the USB popup, the backlite is on but it will not function.

I looked in Prefs but didn't find anything in USB or Inputs on backlit. I plugged it into my Win 10 laptop and works fine.

Any thoughts?

I went and purchased the Warp3dSI off of amistore. that fixed my issue.

Thanks

This is the driver I purchased. Two months ago it was not available from amistore.

Updater says that I have RadeonHD.chip(V5-x5000) v5.14 installed

RadeonHD.chip Driver
--------------------

An AmigaOS 4.x 2D graphics driver for Radeon HD 7000 series cards (Southern
Islands GPUs). It also supports some Radeon Rx models.

ABOUT
-----

The RadeonHD.chip graphics driver provides full 2D graphics acceleration for
Radeon HD graphics cards. It supports everything from the Radeon HD 2000 series
(R600 chipsets) through to the Radeon HD 7000 series (Southern Islands
chipsets). It also supports some Radeon Rx cards. Older Radeon X1300-X1950
graphics cards (R500 chipsets) are supported as well, although these are not
recommended. The Radeon HD series have much more flexible Graphical Processing
Units (GPU). If you are looking to buy a supported card, then choosing from the
most recent series is recommended.

Additional information can be found on the Radeon HD driver Wiki at:
http://wiki.amiga.org/radeonhd

REQUIREMENTS
------------

- A supported graphics card:
- Radeon R7 250/250X/265
- Radeon R9 270/270X/280/280X
- AmigaOS 4.1
- An AmigaOne-X1000 (with the latest firmware), or an AmigaOne-500 (or Sam460ex)

So after 2 months waiting for the Driver from Amigakit, I received it yesterday. After installing it, now Ranger says

Radeon HD 7900 Series
Drivers: Board: PCIGraphics.card Chip: RadeonHD.chip
Chip Set: not yet implemented.

I am still getting the same errors as I did before with Celestia and the Boing screen saver is not working. According to the instructions, I just have to install the driver. I double checked that it did infact install the driver.

Now what?

Home,

Thanks for clearing that up. The drivers are confusing because you see some Radeon drivers and updates are in the Enhancer Software 2.2 but not for RadeonHD but more for RadeonRX. I didnt want to buy something that was already in the Enhancer 2.2.

For whatever reason after I upgraded to Enhancer 2.2 it killed my video playback ability and I ended up deleting libs:VA/RadeonHD_drv_video.library driver to fix the issue. So I guess they added a library without the actual driver. I am guessing once I install the driver, I need to add this library back.

Also the Graphics cards are confusing. My Sapphire card is 212% the performance of the Radeon RX550 according to techpowerup.com but older and HD. 2013 vs. 2017.

The Radeon RX 550 seems to be the recommended card for Amiga OS4.1.

I recently purchased the HD driver and just waiting for it to come from Amigakit as it is not offered yet from the amistore for whatever reason that is.

I am having an OpenGL issue with my Sapphire Radeon R9 280x video card. I have the latest Enhancer 2.2 CD installed. First, the OS sees it as 7900 Series card and according to Ranger, it is using PCIGraphics.card 53.18 and CHIP: RadeonHD.chip 3.7

I notice a couple issues with OpenGL. First, the BoingBall screen saver does not work and if I try to run Celestia I get "Could not create an OpenGL window/context". If I try it on any of the MiniGL demos, I get the same error.

I searched OS4Depot and found minigl4gl4es. I replaced the minigl.library and mglut.library. I also saw that there is suppose to be a bug reporting thread for it on here but I cannot find it here.

Using minigl4gl4es, Celestia will load and come up to the "Welcome to Celestia" and gives me a Grim Reaper of ISI. I noticed if I go to Blanker Prefs, Boing Ball screen saver is working in demo but if I click to another saver, I get a Grim Reaper , DSI and module new.library.kmod. If I try any of the original minigl demos they will play but will crash with a grim reaper as well.

However using the original minigl ver 2.24 and mglut libraries ver 2.24, I can run GIExcess_X5000, Cube-textured and ASE Loader-EGL_Warp no problem. All Warp3DNova demos work. Celestia says it requires OpenGL 2.1.
