Hello.

Why does AmiCygnix use the library: aos4util_newlib? Are these just functions that are in addition to those provided by the newlib library for AOS4? Are the C-standard functions that are not yet implemented in the raw AOS4 newlib?

Hello.

newlib - sys/time.h has an extern declaration for setitimer, but in no library can I actually find the definition.

A simple program:

with:

results in an undefined reference.

Am I missing a library?

Catweasel is not sold anymore. I can try and get one from other sources.

Is there any other way?

- with catweasel you need an X1000 adaptor?
- greaseweasel would not work?

Thanks both,

So this will be Hans (is it?) who works on the Radeon driver(s)?

Hello all.

I have an X1000. I upgraded the stock Radeon 4K card to a Radeon HD 7950. I also installed the Warp3D library.

I have Emotion, DVPlayer, Mplayer. Should I expect better video playback? Do I need to configure something?

Regards.

I made a mistake. I did not install the SDK before I installed the latest Enhancer package.

I want to install all the SDK files from the Enhancer package into the SDK. So, after I installed the SDK I attempted to re-install the latest Enhancer but this seems impossible. Screen shot is below.

I can click on "Proceed" as many times as I want and nothing will progress. Yet, the text implies that there should be a "Yes" button.

Not sure what to do. I am unwilling to manually go through all of the files in the installation files and copy them to the SDK installation directory.

Can someone help?

I have tried to rename the previous backup folder and also search for the text string of the backup folder in Prefs:ENV / the enhancer 2.1 but I cannot find the search string, so I am not sure how the installer knows that I have previously backed this up before.

Okay, so I have the radeonhd that came with enhancer v2. I have 3.7.

I must now buy the Warp3d driver from the store, right?

Does Warp3d SI and Warp3dNova come with that Warp3d amistore package?

Presumably, the ogles2.library I get from the Os4depot and bung it in libs:

Ty.

Today I had some time. Since I was running a mechanical SATA drive and wanted to start from fresh with a Samsung SSD 860.

Firstly, the issues with FirstContact crashing were my own fault. I needed to re-educate myself about the CFE booting process. What was happening was that I was using the later version of the firmware (amigaboot.of) and then booting into the FirstContact CD. This is bad, because the latest firmware combined with FC will result in a crash. I reconfigured all my CFE so that it was nice and clean.

I did notice that the 7950 would always work with the FC and Amiga OS 4.1FE CDs so I was thinking it was possibly a software conflict.

So, I started from the beginning and used the 7950 HD throughout and installed a new system on the SSD. I updated to Update 2 + HotFix, I installed the enhancer packs (core and enhancer 2). Everything working. I then made a backup of my mechanical drive.

The only difference this time was that I decided to move the video card to the TOP PCI-E x16 slot rather than the bottom one.

I thought it may be LimpidClock that was causing the issue, but I am writing this post on my original mechanical drive since I wanted to test that out.

I guess that - afterall - it must be the fact that I am using the top PCI-E x16 slot that has solved the issue!

I guess I now need to get the WARP 3D software package from the AmiStore?

When I got my X1000 it had a battery holder solder to the motherboard, like they all do. The problem was, the positive metal holder: the thing that also pushes the battery against the negative base, was broken. I had to solder in a new battery holder and remove the broken one. I put in a new battery and all of the very strange issues with booting were gone.

Before I fixed it, the machine would sometimes not even power on when I pressed the switch. I had to wait for a while before it worked.

So, check the battery for sure, but if you can, make sure that there is a good conductive contact for the positive and negative points on the battery.

If that's not it, then I guess I would check the PSU.

Thanks for the input all.

I should have made it clear that it does not have to be the very same NAS machine itself for which I need to send some network activity to. Here is a part 1 and part 2 of a video showing this issue happening and me being able to spring the coying back to life after it stalls by simply issuing a command through SSH to a completely different machine on my local network.
P1 https://youtu.be/6uaDDh-ZIN4
P2 https://youtu.be/O32uXgWiItI

The network card came with this X1000 and in Ranger:
Name: RTL8139
Device: rtl8139.device, Unit 0

I can also say that when I use FTP or SCP then I never have this issue.

The reason I mentioned SMBMOUNTER was because behind the scenes SMBMOUNTER must invoke SMBFS with command line options. I know that there is something in SMB where you can ensure that things don't go to sleep but when I read the changelogs for SMBFS this is automatically implemented anyway.

I can do some more testing, but I believe that I have tried to use SMBFS directly and then through the command line the same issue is seen. I can try this again.

I also have the SMBFS source and compiled it a few months ago, so I can do a little bit of debugging I guess. It has just taken a while to post this thread.

I can also say that on my classic A600 V2 machine with SMBFS/SMBMOUNTER then this issue does not present itself, albeit, those are different versions.

@328gts

Appreciate the help. What I will do today is this:

Check that the 7950 does work in my Windows x86 machine and attempt to check its authenticity and,

if that is successful I will post the information and perhaps some pictures here, and,

I will insert a blank HDD into my Amiga, install the 7950 and start to install Amiga OS 4.1 FE from scratch just to see what happens.

Thanks. Even though the 0.32 version seems to be handling video playback just as good as the 3.7 version.

So, here are my steps:

- Copy over the RadeonHD.chip 3.7 to Workbench:Kickstart
- Pull out the 4K card after removing the DVI connection
- Replace it with the 7950 and plug the DVI connection back in
- Plug in the cable that goes from the PSU (8 pin) and plug the 2 split 6 pins into the 7950
- Start the Amiga X1000
- Notice that, after getting to the Workbench it freezes after about 5 seconds

Why am I having such bad luck with this?

Here is what I think is a relevant section of my Kicklayout:


Unless someone tells me otherwise, I just do not think it is a power issue. I do not think the Amiga system will have the 7950 draw that much current. It is not like I am using the 7950 in a system that it was originally designed for which includes intensive gaming. I am just on the startup WB screen and then it freezes. I can test the 7950 in my X86 machine I suppose, but at the minute I am suspecting some bad software and a fault of my own.

Woah,

Now I am just baffled. I copied over the original First Contact RadeonHD.chip to my workbench:kickstart, I deleted my devs/monitors/Radeon V730.

And yet, when I put the original 4650 back in, I boot into WB with the full 1920 resolution screenmode which I thought was impossible with the First Contact RadeonHD.chip.

I am literally running my full resolution and, yet:

says:


I am in serious need of some education here.

Sorry for the repeated posts, I just really want the capabilities of the WARP stuff etc, I have now spent over 100£ on failed video card upgrades.

Anyway, I will now wait patiently for some professional help.

EDIT: Regarding the power cable. It is a single cable split into two 6 pins that go into the radeon 7950 (I am now using my original 4650 for now though). I doubt that the power is the issue. Surely, our Amiga systems will not draw enough current for a single split cable to be the issue).

As an update. For whatever reason, when I put my First Contact Cd in the drive, and ask it to boot into my hard drive partition, it boots into first contact and I can actually move around the screen and sort files out. Why it does not boot directly from Cd I do not know.

But, when I had my 4650 installed, the only thing I copied over to my hard drive in kickstarts was RadeonHD.chip which is version 3.7.

Do I need to copy anything else over for the 7950?

Okay. So I got the appropriate cable. I now have the HD 7950 installed. I simply exchanged it with the original 4650 and I can boot into Workbench but after 5 or so seconds it freezes. I then tried to use the first contact CD and it never boots which is exactly the same the thing that happened with the 250X I had. Difference is, I though the 7950 was supported.

Am I some software here ? I would have expected First Contact to boot with a compatible card...?

Hello all,

I think I have found a bug with SMBFS or SMBMOUNTER perhaps providing inadequate flags to SMBFS causing the following bug that I ask someone to reproduce.

Firstly,


Produces:


And,

Produces:


1. Use SMBMounter to mount your NAS share
2. Double click on the mounted NAS share
3. Navigate anywhere so that you can see a large file
4. Copy that large file to somewhere local on your Amiga
5. Notice that the "Copying" window will eventually hang
6. Try to start another program on your Amiga and notice that there is essentially a freeze

I do know that there is a work-around for this.

If I also have a VNC window open to the same remote machine and then merely move the mouse cursor, the copying comes back to life. This means that if I am streaming or copying large files I always need to have a VNC session (or something that will stimulate network activity) open in order to prevent a total lock-up.

At the moment, I have not delved into any debugging.

I just want to declare this issue in this first post.

@kas1e

Thank you.

@kas1e

I think: https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=127940

Shows two bugs.

1 - As the SDK says, the interrupt routine is not being called when reading the SDK information it should do.
2 - QueryKeys does not seem to work, yet it does on version 3.

So, these are either bugs, or misuse.

@kas1e

Thanks. It is just that I think I can provide bug reports etc and I am not sure how to report them without using the official Hyperion forums.

It looks like I need to join a UserGroup. But I cannot even do that without an invitation from a Group Leader.

A little bizarre.
