Morphos Developer Bigfoot is working on a way to boot MorphOS with an X5000 dual graphics setup.

More info: https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/v ... 03&forum=3

(as posted by Bigfoot)
Long story short, if you have a single graphics card in the primary (x16) PCI Express slot that works for you in all the operating systems you want to run, then there was no problem. If you're in a situation where you want to use two different graphics cards for two different operating systems, or even just one graphics card in a PCI Express slot that's not the x16 slot, then you're out of luck, at least until MorphOS 3.17 gets released..

On the MorphOS side, I fixed a few different issues that prevented MorphOS from booting with a graphics card in a non-primary PCI Express slot on the X5000, thus enabling you to, well, boot MorphOS with two graphics cards installed. And no, before anyone asks, using 3 graphics cards in the X5000 won't work with MorphOS :D


Looking forward to MorphOS 3.17 ...
AmigaOne X5000 -> 2GHz / 16GB RAM / Radeon RX 570 / Radeon X1950 / M-Audio 5.1 -> AmigaOS / Linux
Amiga 1200 -> Recapped / 68ec020 ACA 1221ec / CF HDD / RetroNET connected to the world

Yeah...

01.05.22 - Public Release of MorphOS 3.17

Tweaked the PCI address mapping on the X5000 to accommodate a Radeon on the PCIE1 bus

Hope it works... keep you posted!

Running Linux on AmigaONEs can require some tinkering.
