CGX supports Radeon
« on: July 16, 2002, 08:36:12 PM »
There are a number of new VFD CyberGraphX V5 driver projects in the works. One such project has been with ATI. The CyberGraphX V5 driver has been working with the Radeon range of cards from ATI for a few months now. Most all of the real work is now done by the CGX drivers not externally.. such as display setup/init, 2d, ect. This means in time that the driver can be back-ported to run on any PCI adaptors such as the G-Rex PCI adaptor. The Radeon VE and Radeon 7500 models, along with a few others have been tested and are working great. Currently the driver supports the PC based BIOS Radeon cards out of the box. Here is a snapshot of MUIScreenMode running under CGX V5 on a ATI Radeon: Radeon Snapshot VE

People who shelled out $40USD+ for CGFX4 shouldn't be shafted with no future upgrades


CGX4 is being consantly updated, so I don't see your problem, and this
driver will be working in a G/Rex, which only run when connected to
a PPC-system (you can connect it to a CS-MKIII, but I ahven't heard of
anybody doing this).

The other PCI-solutions use P96, so no prob here.

Wow another post from the MOS camp that makes little to no sense .


It makes just as much sense as all the "new OS4-screenshots"-threads.

I don't know whats your problem is ?
They say they got Radeon-drivers -> news
They say they got an USB-stack -> news

They try to "hype" it a bit up -> so does everybody else.

(done it  :-D )

The problem is that someone who has committed themselves financially to what is basically a set of hardware drivers with bells on, could quite rightly be entitled to think - "hey I contributed to the development of this software and now I can't upgrade to it!"


You can upgrade it, but you may not like the terms if you don't have a PPC
or are not interested in MOS, just like noone will be able to upgrade
OS3.9 while he is running on a 68k or x86-based emu.

Can you upgrade Win3.0 to WinXP using your 286 ?

Everyone who bought CGX_V4 did it to serve him on one job and that is
allowing him to run his GFX-card under OS3.x , and CGX_V4 does that,
and won't stop doing it just because V5 is released for a different OS.

It's just like someone who paid the shareware-fee for P96 (if there is someone who did that)
protesting that he won't be able to use P96-V4 under MorphOS.

@Red
I guessed he was shocked for a good reason, because the Prometheus
comes with a registered copy of P96, just like Amithlon, and not like another
polnish product I won't name here.....

Shame that so few were/are so honest when it comes to shareware  :-x

Last I checked this was amiga.org - not morphans.org or such.


And still this site covers news on M$, Apple ......

MOS isn't AOS, sure it runs classic apps but thats where it ends.


And that makes it of interest, even if you don't want to use it yourself,
as I'm sure you want to informed about the competition too.

More announcements b4 things materialise ? :


In this case we would have to delete 90% of all news-items.

History is conveniently forgotten


What history do you mean ?
