I've recently been learing about EDID, the protocol used for communication between monitor and graphics device driver. Unfortunately, nowhere in the published spec (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID) is monitor orientation mentioned. So I'm afraid that there appears to be no (standard) way for ...

Take a look at the file SYS:Documentation/keyboards.doc.

Does that answer your questions?

Yes, quite right. I meant that you can't use 68K FS "from the RDB" under OS4. As Andy says, you can copy them to L/ and run them from there.

The fact that your old disk has a file system handler in its RDB is not helpful, as it is 68K and all RDB file systems are ignored. 68K file systems can not be used under OS4. I have never heard of "CFS". Why do you say it's the same as SFS? SFS' DOSType should be SFS\0, SFS\2, SFS\3, etc....

I think you mean "2011" in the date of the Prefs/Font command. There has not been any update of it since 2011. I'm pretty sure that changes to the ASL requester can't have this effect. I wonder if it's something caused by CANDI? Can you insert the original CD, then open the System/Prefs dr...

Is that what you get when you click on the "Ff" button on the line "Workbench icon font" ? If so, then the font prefs has been replaced by something else. I don't have anything like the "Font family" you show and I'm sure Niels hasn't either. It's a furphy. My (our) fon...

Open the Prefs drawer, then "Font". Click on the "Workbench Icon Font" at the bottom of the page. Now you have a wide window labelled "Select Workbench desktop icon font". You can select the style of the text under the icon (Text, Text + outline, etc). You can also sele...

Don't confuse the versions of U-Boot and "amigaboot". The SD card holds an image containing U-Boot, amigaboot, the boot animation code, the default ENV variables, etc. Each of those components can be independently updated. There are several versions of U-Boot around for X-5000s and I'm not...

Yeah, that version is now four years old. I don't know what is being delivered with X-5000s these days, but my X-5040 had amigaboot V53.21 when delivered. I'm currently trying to get V53.27 ready for release.

Perhaps AmigaKit can give you a later SD card image?

That's because you let it run by itself. I want you to do the steps by hand, as I listed them. When you type "boota", the first thing you will see is the heading at top of a clean new screen, then a list of bootable volumes (may be only one), and an arrow at the far left side, indicating w...
