2012 AmiWest Show Programming Seminar

I was wondering why there is no mention of the upcoming programming seminar that will be held the two days right before the 2012 AmiWest Show this Oct. in Sacramento, California, so I am mentioning it now in case any developers who visit this part of the forums have not heard about it yet. I am just...

Re: Is Radeon 8500 now supported by AOS4.1 Update 5?

There's no official support for the 8500 presently. Does that mean that it is not "Officially" supported, but it might work, or does that mean that the Radeon 8500 is not supported at all and the display will be distorted, scrambled, or have no display at all? The Radeon 8500 and 9000Pro ...

Re: StarTech PCI express to PCI adapter works in my X1000

Just ordered my own StarTech PCIe to PCI adapter before reading the posts in this thread again to find out that two users are having trouble with these adapters. I wonder if it is just poor build quality on some of these adapter cards which makes them not work in the X1000's of these two unfortunate...

Re: Screen Modes Help Needed

Since getting my X1000 I purchased a ViewSonic widescreen monitor. After trying many modes I've settled on 1366x768 as the best for these not-so-young eyes. This mode is not listed in the docs that came with the monitor, however the refresh rate is well below some of the other modes listed. I would...

Re: Screen Modes Help Needed

If you have a serial terminal connected to the debug output, you should see the display driver reporting what it found out from the monitor. Do you have a direct connection between the monitor and the graphics card, or are you using an adaptor thingy? SOme of the adaptor thingies don't connect the ...

Re: Screen Modes Help Needed

When I click on the Monitor tab in the Prefs Screen Mode program, all the resolutions are shown there too, including the desired 1600 x 1200 screen mode. That means you manually asked for a 1600x1200 resolution, but as it doesn't show-up as available it means OS4 thinks your monitor cannot handle t...

Re: X1000 success with CruxPPC and MintPPC Linux Distros

Great and thorough reply Trevor! I wish all replies to my questions were so easily understood and covered all possibilities so well. I think MintPPC might be my Linux of choice, but the only other Linux I have tried for many years is Ubuntu. I tried RedHat when it was at version 5.x and 6.x, but tha...

Re: Competition Pro USB joystick, or USB to 9-pin adapter?

I' not really a gamer either, but as ChrisH said, the Competition Pro USB joystick works fine on the A1-X1000. Trevor Thanks for confirming that Trevor, but since neither you, nor I, are much of game players, I would really like to have it confirmed by someone who states that they play dozens, or h...

Re: YAM waiting for user password?

I think I will just delete YAM and re-install it to see what happens. If it asks for a password again right at the start up of the program, I will ask for additional help. As I don't remember ever using YAM on my X1000 before, I am puzzled that it would ask for a password, unless AmigaKit did some k...

Screen Modes Help Needed

I have one of the first batch of First Contact X1000's and I am using a Dell 20" wide screen LCD monitor which has a maximum native screen resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels, instead of the 1680 x 1050 resolution of my newer Dell 20" wide screen LCD monitor that I use with my Windows PC. Whe...
