Working well, so far : )

@nbache

The USB connector bundles... do they have to be branded or can I just use any connectors?

I just bought one of these from ebay but I think it will only come with the power cable. I also asked the seller.

I guess it boils down to this question (and thanks for all the input)...

Will the CS1784A allow me to plug in one keyboard and one mouse (I can experiment with which USB ports are actually best) and allow me to switch their use between the X5000 and X1000, also working with CFE (X1000) and UBOOT (X5000) whether cold booting, warm booting, one computer on at the time, both on at the time?

Regards.

Hi @skynet. I updated my OP.

After some amount of time the power LED on my computer goes off. The computer is still running. Anyone else seen this? I am not sure if it has been the recent update to the firmware (BETA) or the update 3. I would think it was the former, but I am not sure.

Obviously, it is not too much of an issue, but just a minor annoyance. I can try and look into it more to see if I can determine the variable that causes it.

X5000.

Is there an "avail" type command for graphics memory?

A usb switch would work fine for me, so long as it it works with CFE/UBOOT.

A little bit late, but this was solved over 3 years ago when I talked to @cygnused.

AmiCygnix was using the same version of SED as the one from the SDK, but it was compiled with a different C library and so the underlying implementation was different and thus causing the difference.

I now always ensure to prefer the SDK's binaries over AmiCygnix - not because one is better than the other, but just for consistency.

@OldFart

How would you feel about actually testing it out? Do you have an X5 and an X1? Uboot/CFE would be interesting.

Thanks so far.

It would be important that it also doesn't have any weirdness during the bootup menu, if I ever need to get into that.

Any suggestion for a 3 way K(V)M switch? I do not care about video, actually. I think @kas1e has done this sort of thing before and I think for the AmigaOne machine a powered KVM is the better solution?

Problem solved.

From Enhancer the "Firmware" directory _MUST_ be copied to SYS:. Serial debugging to the rescue, as always.

I just want to mention that I appreciated A-EON's Enhancer, but that I prefer to most minimal installation!

Well. I found it in version AmiSSL-4.3 which gets passed that problem, but now leads to https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/ ... id=157898#forumpost157898 - which I think is a problem on my end with some sort of missing library. Probably caused by being very cautious about which components of Enhancer I want to install.

Still. I am confused as to why my version is asking for v111a instead of v111m.

The adventures never end :)

I still run into the I/O error. I can see the following calls that fail:


It looks like "amissl_v111a.library" is needed. This is not the same as the ones talked about in the linked provided above which is "amissl_v111m.library". I do not know where to find this file.

I am running version 5.25 of AMISSL.

I am installing from scratch. This is wrt. X5000:

I have a video file (FILE output from Amiga):

FILE output from Linux:



When trying to play it with Emotion I get:






I removed the RadeonHD_drv* file, even though there is no need...

In Emotion:

Can someone provide me with a location to video that I can test with Emotion that would prove that I have everything set up properly?

I appreciate the work involved in InfiniteIcons. I have bought it. But the amount of space it requires is not acceptable. There needs to be further options in the installer or, at the least, some text in the ReadMe that states the amount of space required.

A lot of people have a fairly small system partition. Going forward, for anyone wanting to use InfiniteIcons, they will need to create a system partition of somewhere near 4/5GB, at least.

There should be more options to deselect some of the default installations. It seems like it is just installing absolutely every combination and this means that there is a lot of wasted space. If, instead, the installer asked the user what general theme of icon they wanted, then masses of space could go un-wasted.

As with any installation in the Amiga world, it is not really possible to uninstall everything that has been installed after finding out that the system partition is full.

Thankfully, I am in the process of messing around with a new system installation so this is not too much of an issue for me.

I will now have to consult the installation scripts to find out what I need to remove. Not ideal but no big loss.

I guess an alternative is to install it all to the non-system partition and then pick and choose what you want; again, this should be handled by the initial installer.

Of course, another alternative is that users are expected to have large system partitions but for a lot of Amigans this goes against the grain.

===

Recommendations:
- State how much space is required in the ReadMe
- Allow selections for the user during installation in order to reduce installation space on the system partition; again, I have not looked into this but if the installer installs the the black icons, the blue icons, the yellow icons, the red icons... then create a selection box
- Create an option to uninstall the installed files in the installer

===

Even when installing to a different partition, the installer installs things to the system partition. Backdrops are installed into the system partition, whether you like it or not. The backdrops take a lot of space.

===

Again, thank you for the work. Hopefully we can improve the installer going forward. The icons are wonderful!

@AmigaSociety

In life I need to laugh more and your video really helped with that. Great video. Thank you!

@TheMagicSN
I had the same issue and I think I just redefined them using macros around the inclusion.
