Title: Cybervision64 problem
Post by: Fnac on May 01, 2016, 07:22:22 PM

Hello,

I have a A4000/040 revision b motherboard, and a cybervision64 video card.

I have the driver software installed (CX v4), and the problem is when computer boots it hangs with the cybergraphx logo. It never boots  to workbench.

I tried to change the zorro slot the card is installed but to no avail.

Any suggestions/ideias ??

Kind regards

Fnac

Hi, we need some more details. Did this start happening all of a sudden, i.e., it was working fine and then it wasn't? Or did you just install the card and the software for the first time and it's not working?

Go to the Early Startup Control menu (hold both mouse buttons while booting), and select Boot without Startup-Sequence. Then type:
set echo on
execute s:startup-sequence
You'll see the startup-sequence run line by line - where does it get stuck?

I experienced this while setting up a bvppc. It may be that the screenmode.prefs is still setup to open a pal screen. Hook a tv or monitor to your amiga, and select a cybergraphics screenmode and you will be set..

Took me a while to realize this myself...

That´s not the case! It just displays the original PAL-Mode on the RGB-Port! You have to connect a 15khz Monitor to you amiga and choose a Cybervision Screenmode before you can see the Workbench on the Cybervision :)
