CyberVisionPPC troubles!!!

[mpiva]

   So the CyberStormPPC I recent bought finally arrived and I eagerly install it.  However, I seam to be having problems getting it to work.  I hope and PRAY I have something configured incorrectly and that it's not a hardware problem.  I was wondering if anyone could help me.

   I have an A4000T with a CyberStorm MKIII 060/50Mhz installed.  I have OS3.9.2 (BoingBag 2 update) installed and the CVPPC came with the CyberGraphx4 CD.  I have a C=1950 Monitor connected to the CVPPC and a C=1084S monitor connected to the A4000T's video port.

   After installing CGX4, I reboot my Amiga but nothing appears on the 1950 monitor and no CGX modes appear under the prefs.  When I run "showcgxconfig" it says "0 graphics cards installed" (or something similar).  HOWEVER, if I go into the Early Startup menu, the menu will appear on BOTH monitors.  Likewise if I boot with no start-up, the shell will appear on both monitors as well.  If I run "showcgxconfig" at this point, the graphics on the 1950 get all garbled (and I don't mean that the display changes & the monitor looses sync) but the graphics on the 1084S are fine.

   Also, I'm fairly certain I installed the latest flashrom (from AMINET) to my CyberStorm MKIII but is there anyway to check the flashrom version to be sure?


   Anyway, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I'd be VERY disappointed if I can't get this great graphics card to work.

    I GOT IT TO WORK!!!  And I have to thank doctorq for this, but it wasn't because I was using old versions of 68040.library, 68040new.library and 68060.library but because I was, in a sense, using to NEW of versions.  I had replaced the above libraries with the ones from the MMULib package on Aminet.  Once I reverted back to the newest "official" libraries, everything worked fine.

    So make note everyone, CVPPC DOES NOT WORK WITH MMULIB.

   Hmmm.  I'll have to read through the docs more carefully and try playing with the config.  It'd be nice if I could get MMULib to work but I'm just happy that I got my CVPPC to work, that's too good of a card (and too expensive) to not have working.  The day before I was panicing thinking that it had gotten damaged in the mail, or I had mishandled it (even though I was very careful to take precautions), or that the sell sold me a crap card.  It was such a relief to see the CyberGraphx4 logo appear on my monitor the next day.  BTW, if anyone wants a CyberVision64 (my old card), I should be putting it on eBay soon.
