@fastbit66 You probably have a monitor file in "DEVS:Monitors/" called "Radeon 9250". Try renaming that to "Radeon 9200", and changing the BOARDNAME tool-type to "Radeon 9200" as well. If that fails, rename the file to "Radeon", set the BOARDNAME too...

Hi there, I noticed on Trevors blog recently that he installed a Radeon 9250 PCI card into his X1000 to get 3d drivers and OpenGL support. Very interesting for me! I have a brand new ATI Radeon 9250 PCI card (256MB) and would like to do this as well, so I can play the OS4 OpenGL games on my X1000 w...

@ChrisH only custom screens can / should be double buffered Something else to missing list of limitations of ChangeScreenBuffer() ! I imagine that allowing public screens to be double-buffered would be a nightmare. Those "foreign" programs would have no knowledge of the double-buffering, a...

@ChrisH I have just replied on amigans.net. For the benefit of others: @all As Chris said, this is an OS limitation. You should not be rendering via windows on double-buffered screens. ChangeScreenBuffer() was designed to be used with direct rendering to the screen's back-bitmap only. Windows have n...

I've now narrowed down the crash to when I close the (backdrop) window, so it does seem to be window-related. Would be nice to get a straight answer as to whether windows should work or not. (They DO seem to work, at least until they have to be closed...) They do work and, AFAIK, using a backdrop w...

@amigasociety

Can and will Amiga OS 4.xx become more stable?

Yes it can, and I expect that it will. Not overnight, but through a concerted effort from both OS and application developers.

I already have the internal cable as I paid for that option to be installed by AmigaKit but what I search for is what external cable do I now need to connect the X1000 to the SAM440ep and a more step by step for the extreme dummy on what else is needed to get the two to talk and the crash log to be...

I downloaded and installed MPlayer 1.0 11.11.2010 on my X1000 and see 2 options, a Generic or Altivec. Both launch but wondered which one I should be running on my X1000? Use the altivec version. The PA6T CPU in your A1-X1000 has an altivec unit, which is a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) p...

I take it the DVPlayer that came pre-installed (at least I think it did since I have downloaded so many new apps to get my X1000 pumped up) is a "toned down" copy and not a full version that is being sold by the maker? Yes, it came pre-installed, and yes, it is a "special" toned...

Yes! I have a Micro-AmigaOne running in the background, connected to the X1000 by serial cable. With "Term" running on the Micro, and 'setenv os4_commandline "DEBUGLEVEL=5 SERIAL" ' somewhere in the CFE command structure, The Micro will spew lots of interesting data on every cra...
