When you installed P96 did you start the installation again and just used the UPDATE installation?
If you don't do these steps you won't have any P96 screenmodes for the Voodoo card

I think there's a guide on the Mediator MM cd

@dbrads

the fact is that I am following the site you gave me
http://www.stom.co.uk/amiga-mediator/content/tutorials/p96mode/index.shtml

and I am at Starting out point where I need to find the voodoo card.So Iclick and drag the 'create new' icon to the lister within the 'Settings' box. This will create a new entry called 'not attached : New Setting'.
Now  I need to 'attach' the graphics card to this setting. Click on the 'not attached : New Setting' entry to select it. Next I have use the Menus and go to the 'Attach Setting To' menu, and I should now see the voodoo card but when I go on the menu attach setting to I have:

                  NO BOARD

and I cannot go on.

What can I do to let show the Voodoo card?
 


There is no need to create any screenmodes, please read my post

I'm talking about the Picasso96 install

When you use Picasso96 with the mediator and a voodoo card you must first install the Mediator files, then Picasso96 but after the picasso96 install is finished you start the Picasso96 install again but only choose UPDATE from the Picasso96 install
Then reboot or double click on the voodoo monitor files in devs/monitors to activate the voodoo driver
Then go into p96prefs and you'll see all the Voodoo screenmodes..choose one and "attach to board" voodoo, then test the modes and save + reboot

Everything must be done correctly, if you don't read the documents you'll get problems like you might have now

Like DoctorQ says...first see if your voodoo is recognized
