Ran into a problem with P96Mode when trying to install my Voodoo card.
Picasso96 is installed as Voodoo.card has been moved to SYS:Libs/Picasso96/ drawer along with Cvision3D renamed to Voodoo in SYS:Devs/Monitors/ drawer.
Problem is the Voodoo wont show up in P96Mode when I choose "Attach setting to" for the new entry. Any idea whots wrong?
-
Remember to edit the Voodoo monitor driver, so it points to voodoo.card.
-
BOARDTYPE=Voodoo
has been set in the Voodoo monitor file.
Cant figure out what the Elbox guys mean with "Click to the Voodoo icon (in Devs:Monitors drawer).". Apparently something you should do just before P96Mode is started.
-
LOL... I was wondering the same when I tried installing my Mediator.
But as I have understand it, you should double click the voodoo icon in devs:monitors and then start P96Mode.
-
-Make sure no other files reside in DEVS:Monitors. Only Voodoo should be there.
-Make sure voodoo.card is in LIBS:Picasso96
-Make sure pci.library is in LIBS:
-run pciinfo from shell to make sure the voodoo card shows up. If not, re-seat the card and/or use a different PCI slot.
-As already mentioned, start the driver by double-clicking voodoo icon before starting P96mode.
-If all else fails, try disabling "loadmondrvs" from the startup-sequence, and uncomment the commands of the default routine to start the display driver. Try this LAST, only if none of the above fix it.

I have yet to double click the Voodoo monitor driver in order to get the driver to show up in P96Mode. Have you got Picasso96Settings installed in the path linked to in the Voodoo monitor driver?
-
run the command c:pciinfo to check if the card is installed and recognised by the system.
-
I had a similar problem, after i did everything the instructions told me nothing showed in the 'attach setting to' but it worked as soon as I plugged in the power cable to the card as I have a voodoo5 and it needs extra power to run.

Hi guys! Thanks for all your help... This is what i've came up with so far:
-Make sure no other files reside in DEVS:Monitors. Only Voodoo should be there.
Theres a PAL, PAL.info file there too. Should it be removed?
-Make sure voodoo.card is in LIBS:Picasso96
Its there
-Make sure pci.library is in LIBS:
Its there too
-run pciinfo from shell to make sure the voodoo card shows up. If not, re-seat the card and/or use a different PCI slot.
The Voodoo card is detected by pciinfo:
4.Ram Disk:> pciinfo

-As already mentioned, start the driver by double-clicking voodoo icon before starting P96mode.
Okay
-If all else fails, try disabling "loadmondrvs" from the startup-sequence, and uncomment the commands of the default routine to start the display driver. Try this LAST, only if none of the above fix it.
Okay, will try this out later.
-Have you got Picasso96Settings installed in the path linked to in the Voodoo monitor driver?
I guess this is the default path to the picasso96 settings file. Yes, its there in SYS:Devs/, as specified in the Voodoo.info file. Assigns are correct too since i can cd to SYS:Devs.
