Hi
I've got a Retina Z3 / Indivision AGA in my 4000 and decided to give CyberGraphX a go over Picasso 96. This is starting from a fresh OS 3.9/BB2 install so no Picasso 96 files are present.
I installed CyberGraphX onto my CF card in WinUAE (choosing Retina Z3) but, when I place the card back into the 4000, I have 2 issues.
1. I have to turn on the Amiga then do a soft reset to get it to what I think is 'booted' (see 2)
2. When I think it's booted I don't see anything from either the Indivision output or the Retina.
The Amiga is connected to a DELL 24" 2405FPW flat panel so I believe I may have selected an incompatible frequency setting upon installation (I chose the one in the 50s..can't remember exactly what it was).
So my questions are:
1. Why does the Amiga need a soft-reset to boot now?
2. What frequency should a flat panel user choose?
All this works fine in Picasso 96 so I'm certain it's not a hardware issue.
I would just uninstall CyberGraphX but I have no idea how to do that :p I can, however, access the OS in WinUAE if I only knew what to delete.
Thanks

Most LCDs need 60Hz or higher vertical frequency. When I installed CGX4 on AmigaOS 3.9, I didn't get it working properly until I updated it with the latest patches which you can get here (http://phase5.a1k.org/index.php?id=3). Hope that helps.

Your Dell LCD syncs vertically from 56Hz up (looked it up), the same as my Samsung. For me for example standard PAL at 50Hz is a no go, because of that. Of course, you're using a graphics card and I don't have a clue what screenmodes it offers, but make sure that you're using one that has at least the 56Hz vertical frequency.

Lovely..thanks to you both. I'll give her a shot when I get home from work.
