Is there any support from Hyperion planned?

Please elaborate...?

@tommysammy
Elbox and Amikit its just companys which sold standard radeons, without any "amiga-changes". As aos4 have support of radeon9000/9250, then any radeon9000/9250 will works, and does not matter where you will buy it. Amikit and Elbox there not play any major role, they just give you easy way to found those cards (as they already hard to find in standart PC shops).

In reality your 2 topics about elbox/amikit radeons should be just one : "which model of radeon cards support amigaos4 currently". And answer will be full list of supported cards, and you will just check if elbox and amikit give you those cards (and they of course give you supported ones, because it will make no sense to sold cards in amiga shops, which not supported by drivers).

I have bought a Radeon 9200 with 256 MB from elbox like some friends from a1k.
Now we have installed Os4.1 Classic
All the cards from elbox doesn`t work.
There are big gfx errors.
Now elbox had send us a new pci.library 10.0 and a new radeon.card driver.
I have now a picture under Os4.1 Classic but:
Warp3D doesn`t work
Compostion Engine doesn`t work
I can see only 8MB from my Radeon 256MB
So question again.
Will Hyperion make a native Radeon driver for the Radeon Cards from elbox?

@Kas1e i cannot build in a radeon from amigakit,because there is only support for the Mediator SX and TX.I have a LT4 That is the problem
I want use Os4.1 Classic with Warp 3D and Composition Engine,because my Voodoo 3000 is to slow for that

No surprise. Part of the Compositing and Warp3D has been moved into ATIRadeon.chip. Trying to use a 68k pci.library driver on top of AmigaOS 4's own PCI support is a sure way to shoot yourself in the foot. The best thing you can expect from this is crashes.

You probably only see 8 MB so that the card avoids bank switching.

Elbox doesn't make Radeon cards. The initialization of the card depends on the BIOS of the card. Some cards do not work, and it appears that this is one of them. We might re-visit this issue before the next update, but it is difficult to support some of the Radeons out there. Before anyone remarks that they work under AmigaOS 3.x, the problem is (in part) related to the PowerPC, or rather, to the way that the BlizzardPPC connects to the system. Some cards have timing issues that make them work under 68k due to the slower access, but fail to work on the PowerPC. On the Amiga 4000, you can mostly work around this problem by setting the Waitstate jumper. Unfortunately, this doesn't exist on the A1200 Mediator.

It *might* be an issue with the reset of the cards. Does it show up in ShowConfig?

My Radeon works fine under Os3.9
Ok ,there is no Warp3D
My Mediator PCI1200 have also "Wait".There is a Jumper.I use this

This show me Showconfig

This is a 68k ShowConfig. I meant an AmigaOS 4 ShowConfig.

Hm, so the card is recognized, that's weird.
Can you make a serial log at debug level 7 from the boot process? Thank you.
