Re: Have USBCtrl to work without a GUI

Well, thanks everybody for the input (no pun intended :)).

Anyway, some Amigan bloke and X1000 owner that does not experience this kind of USB issue (but nevertheless felt a strong sense of solidarity) wrote a little C program that calls "USBCtrl Restart Force" and shuts down the GUI dialog without ...

Re: Have USBCtrl to work without a GUI

Ok :)
Is there any standard procedure to "close/reject" a feature request, then, if you think the request is not relevant ?

Edit :
I confirm that "USBCtrl restart" is a valid workaround to my USB problem :

1. first boot, the USB mouse works properly. I reboot using the shell cmd : reboot fast
2 ...

Re: Have USBCtrl to work without a GUI

how did you enter the USBCtrl command in the first place?

Hi :)

It this scenario (== the machine is switched on, boots, and the workbench appears with no keyboard/mouse), UBSCtrl is invoked from the startup-sequence.
Supposedly, this is a workaround to an issue that occurs on the Sam440 and ...

Re: Have USBCtrl to work without a GUI

Hehe, the Amiga is all about creativity and, yes, that includes the workarounds we have to find when we stumble on a bug.
The (recurring) issue here is : "the Sam doesn't mount the USB devices when it is switched on", so I'm unsure the keyboard would help :)
Thanks anyway.

Have USBCtrl to work without a GUI

As a new Sam's user (Sam460cr, AmigaOS4.1FE), I discovered what seems to be a long standing issue : the USB (mouse & keyboard) doesn't always work, at the end of the startup, when the Workbench shows up.
A common workaround seems to be the USBCtrl command, that allows the user to restart the USB ...

Re: Sam440ep_setup breaks USB with Update 3

Hi,
I'm not sure this is relevant to this thread, but my brand new Sam460cr shipped with OS4.1FE still shows this kind of issue.
Every once in a while, right after workbench shows up, both the keyboard & mouse (an Apple keyboard & a classic wire mouse), or the mouse alone, are not working.
I simply ...
