I know of the warm reboot Ctrl Amiga Amiga but is there a key combo to cold reboot a X1000 so I don't have to use power button all the time?
Playing with DVPlayer settings and stuff, system locked up, and past lock ups I always use power button since warm reboot is non responsive.

Cold reboot keys are Ctrl+Alt+Alt Gr.

I guess this is where using my stock AmigaOne keyboard would come into play <grin>.
I am using a Logitech Wireless Solar at the moment so my Alt keys, left and right ones, are the Amiga keys. I have only one Windows key I see on this keyboard which I believe is now acting as a ALT key but I don't see one on the right.
I guess I should be using the AmigaOne keyboard in these cases unless some key on the right of the keyboard acts as the Right Alt?? There is a Function key on the right next to my Alt key.
Will try that one.

Some keyboards have an "Alt" and an "Alt Gr" key but on an amiga they're just left & right alt keys... Seems that lots of windblows users don't know left from right so they had one labeled as Alt Gr to stop their brains overheating

Just be aware in certain types of crash situations the keyboard gets locked out so you'll always need to use the power off button at these times. I can't remember the last time this happened but I'm sure it does.
I remember when my older Amiga models would crash at times and you could sometimes repeatedlly use the key combinations and eventually it would reset, I'm not sure this applies to our newer machines.

If I happen to be typing in a shell whern I'd like to reset, I just type "reboot" into the shell.
For a quick reboot, "reboot fast" reloads the OS without reloading kickstart.
But if something has locked up the machine, I would much prefer to press the reset
button than to cycle the power supply.
On the "official" case it is behind the door, on the right edge of the opening.
It is easy to miss if you don't know where to look for it. That is a "hard" reset that
will restart everything just like power on, without the need to cut the power.
Have Fun,

That does not apply to any USB or PS/2 based platforms. The old 68k Amigas had custom keyboard interfaces with special hardware lines to make that kind of thing possible.Slayer wrote:I remember when my older Amiga models would crash at times and you could sometimes repeatedlly use the key combinations and eventually it would reset, I'm not sure this applies to our newer machines.

Thanks for pointing out the "inside door reset button". I've had this X1000 since June, and did RTFM, but somehow missed this.
I'll give its action a try under the several conditions that face me when I have mplayer set to my favorite internet radio station, GIMP is on the other screen, and I have the temerity to start switching between iBrowse and Timberwolf.

Regarding reset: Does anyone know where the soft/cold reset are being handled? Input.device? hid.driver? Some input handler that depends on that input.device hasn't crashed?
I was just wondering because I noticed that all HID tasks run at priority 10 while input.device runs at pri 20. Why is that? I mean, any task above pri 10 would then cause all input to stall even if input.device itself runs at pri 20. Cannot see any reason for that.
Can I change the HID task pri somehow? If not, I will make a hack that increases their priority because as an experiment it works perfectly fine at pri 100 when changed temporarily using Scout.

No *user* program should have a priority above 5! I think 6+ is reserved for the OS & device drivers.Deniil wrote:I noticed that all HID tasks run at priority 10 while input.device runs at pri 20. Why is that? I mean, any task above pri 10 would then cause all input to stall
