AmigaOS 4.1FE Update 3 - Bugs and Experience Report

@joerg

Apologies joerg, I will replace with the OS4 Depot version.

For many years I've used the xeromouse driver with the A-Eon/Logitech mouse that came with my X1000 in order to get horizontal scrolling by tilting the scroll wheel. I don't use horizontal scrolling nearly as much as vertical, but it comes in handy sometimes.

Unfortunately, this driver no longer works correctly under Update 3. The basic mouse functions work fine -- movement and buttons, including the middle mouse button -- but the scroll wheel does nothing, and won't scroll vertically or horizontally (in developer terms, RAWMOUSE events work, but MOUSEWHEEL events do not).

The driver comes with source, so I may be able to add some debugging code to try and figure out where it's going wrong. Until then, I've had to remove the driver and go back to the OS4 HID driver. It only has vertical scrolling, but that's better than no scrolling at all.

A couple of weeks ago an update to "MouseDriver" was released.
It is based on xeromouse, maybe it is of help for you.
I don't know why the archive has not been uploaded to os4depot too.

here is the link to Aminet

@Tuvok

Thanks! I saw the older version of that package on OS4Depot, but didn't think to check Aminet for a newer one.

Unfortunately, per the source code the only change in the new version was to add support for another mouse; the Logitech driver is still from 2019, and is essentially identical to the xeromouse driver. I tried it anyway, but wasn't surprised when it didn't work any better than the xeromouse version.

At least someone seems to still be maintaining the drivers, so if I'm able to figure out how to make it work, there's a path to a new version.

So I tried:

* I performed a clean installation of OS4
* installed update 1
* installed update 2
* installed update 2 hotfix
* installed update 3

same situation: the Internet connection does not work.

On hyperion download area hotfix is merged with upd2. So there is upd1, upd2, upd3 avail.

So I would pick upd2 and upd3 from hyperion site and drop hotfix.

Worth of try anyway. And perhaps better to refresh upd1 pkg allso.

Thanks for the info, I will revert to the backup of plain installation and will try to download all the updates again.

@Mlehto

Same result, as I expected.


But, I found an hint.
After installing Update3, I replaced C, L and Libs from the backup, and connection worked again.

I suspect the issue is ssl or bsd socket library.
Tomorrow I will revert again to the backup before Upd3 installation and trace the files that will be updated in these folders.
