@nbache Hi, and happy new year!  Quote: nbache wrote:@Tuvok
Thanks for the heads-up.
I think maybe my firmware is already 1.0.077 or more, because the buttons seem to already function like that for me. Now that you mention it, I remember reading something about it before.
At some point when I get time, I will try checking my KVM switch's firmware version and also update it to the latest firmware, but that will probably not be until some time in the new year.
As for why it works so strangely on your X1000, I don't know. I don't see such behaviour on mine. But I'm no "Voodoo master"  .
Best regards,
Niels During the weekend I would like to replicate your exact configuration here. It bugs me that it does not work. I hope you have some spare time to reply to questions and find out why it works on your machine and not mine. Would you mind sharing your CFE vars settings for starters? The User Manual for the X1000 says that when facing the USB connectors, the port at the bottom far left is reserved for the Keyboard. I can confirm that this is the case with the CFE version I have on my board (PAS-2.0.30). Only a keyboard connected to that port (no KVM in-between) will work on CFE. Of course keyboards will work on every other port once the OS has booted. Best regards

@328gts Firstly: Happy new years to everyone! I launched KOG and struggled so hard to make more than 6000 points! Finally I could make 7000!!! Man was I happy! Then I saw your scores... and thought: OK, it's like in bicycle sport nobody dopes but then everybody does! But.. wait! wasn't there a news article about an update for KOG?! Of course! I then realised I was playing a version of 2008! My first try with the latest version and I got about 102360 points! Yay! ) I'm right behind you 328gts!

@nbache
but have you connected the KVM to the USB-port dedicated for the keyboard?
and can you use your keyboard in CFE?
Can you share the connections schematic again please?
If I read your posts correctly, your connections looks like this:
- Keyboard connected to the Mouse port of the CS1784A,
- Mouse connecte to the keyboard port of the CS1784A
- USB Kable (port xx) from the CS1784A to a USB port of the X1000 which is not the dedicated Keyboard port.
am I right?

Nice list! And nothing too complicated. I'm thinking that a couple of your items might be accomplished with ARexx like "move selected files and drawers to a new drawer" (did I get that right?), if maybe a bit less elegantly.
@all
I've thought about the funding problem too, and don't know the answer. I gave @TheMagicSN a good laugh once when I stated that Hyperion managed OS4 development through the sale of Mac game ports. No, Hyperion managed development by cheating developers and running up huge debts.
For any film buffs, I'm reminded of the scene in Citizen Kane where a young Kane is confronted by his accountant that the newspaper lost a million dollars last year. Paraphrasing, Kane agrees and says they'll probably lose a million this year and the next year, too, and at that rate they'll be out of business in 60 years, but it will have been a good run. We need a few more Trevors.
If I came into a large sum of money, making amends with the various OS4 developers and "getting the old team back together" would be at the top of my list, as there aren't that many skilled Amiga developers to begin with, and we shouldn't be wasting time by reinventing technologies that work, like Joerg's CDFileSystem. I keep hoping there's a method to the madness... And I thought I was the only one with this thought! hahaha I should have invested in bitcoin a decade ago! ;)

But then you will have exactly 3 port available. You can set the keyboard shortcut key to "SHIFT" on KVM and to "CTRL" or "SCRL" to the other. The CS692 does have a remote with a button, so you could even use the button to switch from one computer to the other. I do like to use the keyboard, it is very handy to press CTRL-CTRL-ENTER to switch.

here another one:
- add a reverse option for "Clean up by type" in Workbench. It is easier to sort the "Tools/Apps" to be the first icons.

@nbache Be aware of some changes in the way your KVM operates If you update the firmware of your ATEN. In some models they have changed the behaviour of the front panel buttons: https://www.aten.com/nl/nl/products/re ... te&type=firmware&eid=2574Quote:
V1.0.077 1. Add Power On Detection Enable / Disable option and corresponding Hotkey combination
2. Modify Pushbutton Port Selection default setting*, and add toggle Hotkey for alternative setting
at the time of writing the latest firmware for our cs1784a is v1.2.111 (2025-03-11). Said FW did improve the compatibility with my mechanical keyboard.

I tried my luck with the ones you mentioned, but CFE does not want them.
Unless I connect the KVM to a different USB port, the amiga will not boot.
I read the error code in the Serial-output but can't remember the exact wording now.
It seemed like there also was some typo in the error message. When I saw the error message I had the feeling that there is maybe some simple error in the CFE source code. Some forgotten quotation mark, an extra CR, something small like this.
The funny thing is, once AmigaOS 4 has booted once, then CFE will not stop the booting process in subsequent hard-resets.
To clarify:
Test 1:
- connect KVM to the keyboard USB-port of the X1000
- turn on X1000
-> Boot process halts, nothing will move the X1000 to boot. No resets using the computer case reset-button will help. Only disconnecting the KVM from the port persuades the X1000 to boot.
Test 2:
- connect the KVM to any other USB-port of the X1000
- turn on X1000
-> boots to AmigaOS4
- connect KVM to the Keyboard USB-port of the X1000
- use your favourite method to "hard-reset" (e.g. Workbench->Shutdown->Restart Computer)
-> Keyboard is available in CFE to select menu entries or typing
-> X1000 boots to AmigaOS after menu-timeout
This can be reproduced every time.
So my conclusion is that AmigaOS4 must do something to the CFE USB stack.
It writes to some register, don't know.
I wonder if it would be possible to set a CFE-env-variable that does whatever Voodoo AmigaOS4 is doing.
There is a "Set hid max" variable to be set in CFE, I played around with it, but to no avail.

@TiredOfLife Quote: TiredOfLife wrote:@Tuvok
Have you tried connecting your keyboard to a USB hub that is plugged into your KVM switch?
Cheers I tried after reading your comment. Hower it does not help. In the manual of the KVM the manufacturer says no hub should be connected to the dedicated keyboard port. Also, now that I tried ,I can confirm the explanation in the user manual that the keyboard-switching shortcut does not work with an USB hub in-between. it was worth a try, thanks for your suggestion.

Oh, that was so close. I was missing keys as well. And it looks like the same stage. Maybe there is a bug :D :D :D
No bug, you must have wasted a key by opening unnecessarily a door along the way ;) Yeah, I knew exactly where it was! I haven't managet to get to the same level again. Yet. p.s. by the way a while back I read a thread of yours about some hacking attempts on your itchio webpages. You mentioned someone paid bud did not download. That particular thing might have been me.

I'm happy to see I suggested this new thread
You are right, at some point people have to think what they want about OS4.x and organize a way to make this happen (crowdfunding?).
Never think it's not possible.
Even finding a solution about UDF support is possible.
I see 2 alternatives:
- pay Jorg (depending on how much he wants)
- recreate a new CD Filesystem The exact same ideas came to me too. It would be nice to have Joerg on board again. Or at least to find a way to flush his negativity he really appears to have a set on Hyperion. I think the one responsible for the non-payments is gone. Maybe Joerg could start working with the people who are there now. I guess they have not been paid either. Unless we can engage Elon Musk to pay the debts, I see it unlikely that someone could afford to pay the overdue engineers level salaries for all the people who have contributed. Crowd funding could mitigate and alleviate the pain maybe? But then so many people have been scorched here by "early-bird" "pre-payment" that little may want to contribute. Even if OS3.3 seems to take big steps forward. OS4 is really worth saving. It is so much better in so many ways!

My minor Suggestions:
in Workbench:
- Select files and drawers, then create a new drawer with the selected icons from the context menu.
- Workbench screen title bar: add formatting options such as aligning screen title format items to the far right.
- Workbench Screen title bar: add the option to be able to add more "widgets" (like in OS3.3)
- Workbench Screen title bar: It would be beneficial if an area of the screen title bar could be reserved so that items such as the clock or widgets would follow to other screens and remain visible even on the Workbench if a different programme is active.
- Add the possibility to add keyboard shortcuts (for the ones missing in Workbench, e.g. Resize to fit, Snapshot Window, Snapshot all) and maybe the option to personalise them. Some appear a little illogical to me.
I dislike it so much when some apps use "RAmiga-Z" and other "RAmiga-U" for the same command, or "RAmiga-A" and and others "RAmiga-M" for "Select all".
- I think it would be rather nice if the shortcuts in the menu reflected the letter they represent, like 'RAMiga-Shift-v' being 'RAMiga-V'. I imagine it might not look great to everyone! ;)
- When copying files to an external drive that does not support file notes (such as a USB or network drive), a file named 'Files_Info.txt' is generated in the destination folder. This file contains all the file comments and protection bits of the files copied into the folder. Prior to copying a requester could also ask the user if he wishes to copy the file notes. Maybe it would be feasible to save the filename in the icon file?
- Fix the keyboard shortcuts in RAWBInfo
- General keyboard support could be improved. Take the "Execute..." command in Workbench; once I entered something in the text field gadget, I cannot quit from the string requester using the keyboard. "Return/Enter" executes the string, "Esc" quits the requester altogether. So what is the use of the keyboard shortcuts "e" and "c"? This behaviour is common to many requesters and gadgets. Maybe "Alt-enter" could be implemented to "exit" a string gadget?
- Rework WBStartup-Preferences so that
- the list can be sorted by "Name", "Start Priority" and "Path".
- Select more items at once to enable/disable them
- option to edit an entry (to not have to remove and add it again)
- This might be just personal to me: Add an option in Input prefs to reverse the scroll wheel direction. I kind of got used to the macOS natural scroll direction it is so much logical!
- Add an ISO-8601 locale format.
- Adopt the modern nomenclature for byte units: so that 1 Megabyte is 1000² and 1 MiB is 1024².

@graff @OldFart Hi, I acquired an Aten CS1784A, I installed the latest firmware from the Aten website (version v1.2.111 2025-03-11) the firmware which came with the KVM would not recognise my keyboard, after the update the keyboard works. Anyway, sadly the X1000 refuses to boot if the KVM is connected to the "keyboard-usb-port". It waits at the X1000-boot picture forever. I could use a different USB port, and connect a second keyboard to the Keyboard-USB port to be able to use the CFE-boot menu, or the AmigaBoot menu, but then why use a KVM if I need a second keyboard anyway. I did notice that if I disconnect the KVM, boot AmigaOS 4, connect the KVM again, then the KVM can be used in CFE too even after a reset using the button on the case. Maybe there is a CFE variable or command that could be set in the startup variable to make CFE do whatever OS4 does? Something is being written to some register maybe? what does the "set HID" command do in CFE? Does anybody know? I know the CFE sources are lost (or something like that) but maybe it is possible to fix this with some trickery?
