Trying FBlit396..WB screen corrupt.
« on: September 18, 2006, 02:42:08 AM »
Hi, I am trying FBlit to maximize my chip RAM, it seemed to
work, OK...but now noticed nasty looking stripes appear on
WB when I double-click drawers, etc. According to the FBlit.
guide, this is a faulty installation...

Questions: Is FBlit normally stable? Will FBlit work with
'hacks' like MCP, or PicBoot?

Here's the first part of my SS, maybe I have order wrong...

$VER: Startup-Sequence_HardDrive 40.2 (25.2.93) Edited 09.16.06      
; Startup-Sequence for Marc's Amiga 1200 Tower  
SetPatch QUIET                                                                                            
C:CyReq                                      
C:PatchControl                    
C:Version >NIL:        
C:AddBuffers >NIL: DF0: 15      
FailAt 21                            
                                                                                         
C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards RAM:ENV RAM:ENV/Sys        
C:Copy >NIL: ENVARC: RAM:ENV ALL NOREQ            
Resident >NIL: C:Assign PURE                  
Resident >NIL: C:Execute PURE            
Assign >NIL: ENV: RAM:ENV          
C:Fblit                  
PicBoot Data:BPics/#?.iff DETACH FIXJUMP DELAY=0 PATCH      
C:MCP                                                      
Assign >NIL: T: RAM:T                                
Assign >NIL: CLIPS: RAM:Clipboards
Assign >NIL: REXX: S:

etc.

Any ideas would be great....

Personally I had Problems with SCALA MM300 when usising FBlit............the Level 4 AntiAliasing got all screwed up........level 3 and below were fine...........I told the author about this.............dont know if he made corrections

I love my SCALA.............Cant mess with my Darn SCALA.

CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

I had the same problem on my A4000, I did solve it but I'm not sure anymore. I think it had to do with something like transparant icons that needed to be disabled. But I can't tell for sure.

I've noticed the same problem on my "miggy" (A1200, Blizz1260, OS3.9) and I've never solved.

Please, let me know if (and how) you solve it!!!

Some notes from the .quide

Towards the end of your S:startup-sequence file, find the line that reads 'LoadWB'. Change this line too...

  LoadWB SIMPLEGELS

...and on the line before it, enter the command...

  WBCtrl IMT=ICONFAST
 
Note that with this configuration you will no longer get the transparent effect for dragged icons.

If you use MCP you should disable QuickDraw and enable QuickLayers. Neither of these steps is necessary, but this is currently the best configuration for operation with FBlit.

Did you do that too ?

--WBCtrl IMT=ICONFAST--

I tried this once, and it seems the WBCtrl command is non-standard, and not included with the FBlit package.

I managed to get rid of this bug somehow, and without using Simplegels as well.  Can't remember how though...

aybe just the right combination of libraries and workbench prefs.  E.g. I have icons in Graphics mem.

That option is available in AOS 3.9 and in 3.5 as well I think... Look in sys:prefs/ and choose "workbench".

@HellCoder: I did check out the .guide, and have everything
set up as recommended, except for WBCtrl. I think WBCtrl was
an add-on under OS3.9?? Anyway, I will try it, and play with
transparancy settings, see if I can get it to work.
Feel free to send more suggestions! Thanks.

My A1200 with 040/33 32MB also does the corrupt graphics, I swapped out my 040/33 with a 030/50 with same 32MB and the curruption is gone!!!!!  Is this a 040/060 only problem and if so why?

TjLaZeR: Maybe it is a problem with 040/060 boards, Starf81
has a system much like my own, (1200, 060, os3.9) and has the same
probs., but by the screenshot, not as severe as what I have.
What vers. OS are you running?

Hmm, this is a question for the technically-minded Amiga nuts
out there...

@starf81: do you have BoingBag 1 & 2 installed on your system?

I have a similar system (1200, 060, OS3.9) and I did have this problem but I added the LoadWB argument and it is gone so far. I am running on 64 colours though as it is quicker and the guide says there are weird problems with 128 colours.
I have both Boing Bags.

Hi,

I've come across this problem with FBlit on various types of Accelerators.

The problem occured when I ticked Icons to Other Memory in the Prefs/Workbench Icon ToolType.


Also

Could it be that Fast Blit is case sensitive ?  Fblit ?  or FBlit ?


And

The FBlit installation docs recommend placing the FBlit command just after Assign >NIL: HELP: LOCALE:Help DEFER

See part of my A1200 Blizzard 040/40 SCSI startup-sequence

Not related to the fblit problem but I would add the WAITFORVALIDATE argument in setpatch.

As for the fblit problem, perhaps you can try a different screen depth as someone else mentioned too ?

I'll try to reproduce the error again this weekend since I seem to be the only one who actually solved this error. Unless someone else knows what to do ?
