Voodoo3 3000 on Prometheus problems

[Robert17]

After installing Promupdate, trying the same screenmode as before (640x480 256colour) just gives a blank screen, no cursor like before.

It's behaving really oddly indeed, perhaps the Voodoo3 card is faulty?

Funnily enough I have loads of other Voodoo cards lol but none comapitble with the prommy, all Voodoo2 and one Voodoo4 AGP, so everything but what I need! I'll test it in my PC as soon as I can, it does seem as if the amiga crashed whilst changing modes though, I've only actually got any display at all a few times, so maybe it was fluke.

I just put the Voodoo3 in a Compaq PC and it showed the post screen and startup fine so that proves the card works...

[Robert17]

yeah, I'll try it, just seems real weird :s perhaps it's been a logn time since the zorro slot I'm using has had something connected in.

Okay, an update for you, I'm using a Commodore monitor for the AGA and an SVGA one for the voodoo, by the way.

Anyway in the settings I have

Prometheus (1) - Village 38 (ID $5002)
Prometheus (1) - Village 38 (ID $5102)

I've tested the modes on both of these, however when I click test, the native display freezes with the busy pointer, the vga monitor flicks, but doesn't chaange screenmode and remains blank.

Edit: Earlier on today I inserted and re-insterted the prometheus several times, as well as the voodoo to the pci slot.

Amiga 4000 - Micronik zorro busboard
Buster 11
Kickstart 3.1
Cyberstorm PPC 233/060
128mb on that
4mb on motherboard.

I think it works, as the Picture on the Matay website of the prommy installed look exactly like My Micronik tower...

Okay, I just tried the Ethernet card, using Miami, and the machine crashes in the same way when it tried to acess the network card, as it does when trying to test screenmodes on the voodoo... Has anyone used a Prometheus with a Micronik A4000 (7 Zorro slot) busboard?

Robert

[Robert17]

Right, just tried the prommy with the Original A4000 daughterboard, and it behaves in exactly the same way as it did with the Micronik daughterboard, however on all occaisions PromInfo detected both the cards... Maybe it's a fauly prometheus ?
