@MartinW

I never did try but know 4k worked until I had 1440p added and then it went away after I did my thing to get 1440p working.

Just a tad voodoo for me. haha

My guess it was that slow 30hz that made it wonky too.

TJ

@AlfredOne

Yeh, voodoo I say. haha.

Makes no sense to me as I had/have similar issues.

But happy to have my main one back as I like the 1440p but not into the 4k as it gets too small for my old eyes but 1440p looks good for me.

TJ

@skynet

Wow, had no idea a 1200 monitor file could even work on an Amiga OS 4.1 X5K. ‘

Glad you found a solution.

You could always switch back to the one that had the 1440p working and write down all the settings and then switch to the one that works good for your 1080p and add a 1440p setting using your known good settings.

Have fun!

@skynet

I would also add, try more monitors. If you own 3 or 4,k try them all. lol.

I have 1 monitor that will work fine and others not at all. Same settings, just refuses to work.

Probably a sync thing again where the #s in the display prefs need tweaking.

So very monitor specific for me to get my resolution to work.

TJ

@skynet

Like I do, you may want to make a video so folks can see what you are seeing. Otherwise it may be lots of shots in the dark guessing.

I find the whole Monitor Selection in Amiga OS to be a bit of voodoo. From needing the right drivers, Enhancers, blah blah blah.

You may want to let everyone know your full specs on the machine, version of the Enhancer and drivers and all of that.

For me, as shown above, I could not get 2560x1440 but 1080p was fine. But I had to manually add and play with those sync settings to finally get one to work.

So many factors, so many monitors, all allowing different sync etc..

I am so novice at Amiga and the OS and think the only way I got mine back was so many trial and error, taking any advices here and elsewhere, and trying them all.

But a video of your step by step showing you selecting your monitor settings and all that and knowing your version of all may help folks here offer ideas.

Odds are I won't see much (as I am novice) but maybe I will see something.

But again, I had to manually add one that FINALLY worked, adjusting my vSync and HSync where finally one worked. Was just luck I think. haha

@Gregor

This would be cool to know.

I now have Amiga OS and MorphOS on my X5K and my main keyboard I use, a nice RGB keyboard, won't allow me to even get into the early boot menu. ESC don't do it. I have to leave a really cheap $7 keyboard connected to my X5K to hit ESC to get to that early boot menu. Once booted, the nicer keyboard works but won't work for the early boot window.

Must be some oddball USB thing. Maybe it needs too much juice to keep the rgb lights and conks out on early boot. haha

Of course even if early boot comes up automatically, unsure if my nicer keyboard would work or not.

TJ

I sure appreciate the RX580 move I made from HD7750 on my X5K. Took me ages before taking that leap but I did it and happier for the move.

TJ

@ktadd

My 1st point of interest is YouTube and playback. Pretty sure I have seen others play YouTube so may be a setting thing or ??

Anyway, thanks for checking out my video. Onwards and upwards for me exploring more of MOS 3.18.

tj

The Finish (or is it really the Starting) Line of my AmigaOne X5000 Dual Boot Computer, booting Amiga OS 4.1 and MorphOS 3.18 for the (kind of) First Time.
My guess this is really just the Starting Line for me as MorphOS looks quite nice!

Adding a 2nd video rather than start a 2nd thread.

Dual Boot now up and running from internal drives and I chat about the process.

Hope you enjoy!

TJ

@livebyfaith74

Just installed it yesterday onto my hard drive. Took some coaxing to get that done. Think install on a dual-boot takes some voodoo and help from others like @skateman to get it done. Manually partitioning the drives seemed to be a point of contention but finally, I think by some luck, some good advice from @skateman, and me trying to throw all things at it approach, one finally stuck. haha.

But now that I have it on there and a 1920x1080 rez after that was an issue, I will explore it some.

What I can say is, limited testing, Wayfarer is a nicer browser for internet AND my limited testing of Google services worked. I could do my google mail, google drive, and launch my calendar. All slow compared to a linux or Mac but it did work. My X5K using Amiga OS and Odyssey just plain could not work with those google services. Therefore, out of the box, that is nice!

Also, out of the box, I could access my smb based NAS from MorphOS 3.18 and grab a file from it. I recall I tried that on Amiga OS 2 years ago and could not get past installing the app that added that and could not get that to work. In MorphOS, it just worked.. SLOWLY but worked.

That 300mb file took 7 minutes so could be my old Nas or maybe speed of ethernet on my X5K?

Anyway, so far it seems nice.

TJ

Lions & Tigers & Bears... Oh My!

I mean...

AmigaOne X5K & MorphOS & Dual Boot... Oh My!

This is stage 1 of my efforts to make my AmigaOne X5K boot both the Amiga OS 4.1 and MorphOS 3.18.

This is the 1st video about my plans, my system, some peaks inside, and 1st boot (from MorphOS Installer USB Stick) after installing a 2nd Video Card in my X5000.

Long video but hope some find it fun!

https://youtu.be/ZpwUkdsYGpU



2nd video of the final product!

I can't imagine there is much difference between a 5020 and 5040. With the extra cores not used on either, that 200 Mhz is nominal but I only own the 5020 so can't say for sure, but unless extra cores start getting used, and apps using the extra cores, I don't think there would be tons of extra speed. Just my 2 cents. TJ

@kas1e

I know of no sane Amigans. We are all "off-kilter" just a tad.
hahaha

TJ

@khayoz

Thanks!

I am waiting on a cable from China to arrive in January so I can add a 2nd video card to my X5K as I plan on installing MorphOS to use this new 2nd video card that arrived. Need a special cable to make it all happen so now I wait. Once it arrives, and with some help and cheerleading from Skatman, I hope to have a dual boot X5K in January.

I will video some of that so I can remember what is done to make it all happen.

TJ

Awesome fun to see all the action taking place. Makes me more excited to get my Amiga on!

TJ

@AmigaOldskooler

I always find it interesting the different customs and timings that folks decorate and get a christmas tree. We do it right after Thanksgiving and it stays up just right after the New Year. So a good month or so.

I had a friend that did it Christmas Day. I think they got a tree Christmas Eve or the day before and then put it up Christmas Eve or Day.

Hope you have a nice Christmas. TJ

Hope everyone has a pleasant Christmas and 2024! tj

@joerg

I figured a power down and start fresh would do the same, scanning USB and all, and my X5K would boot from one of the sata 0 or 1 devices, which is normally optical drive and hdd. Guess not. haha

Instead it seemed set on trying to find a USB drive no longer connected, at least to me.

TJ

By the way, I would have thought any USB settings would change after a power-down of the X5K. Wonder why I had to USB Reset in my case? Glad I thought to try it but.

To

** FIXED **
I booted to early boot, USB RESET in command line thinking somehow maybe it was affecting how my X5K boots and seeing some USB not there??? Anyway, USB Reset without any USB stick near my X5K haha and she boots direct to AmigaOS now!
