This may seem silly, but are you switching to the output on the Voodoo card after you select a Prometheus screen mode?  You'll need either two monitors or a vga switchbox.

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 ?


Boy, that's strange.  You might try using the original Prometheus drivers that came on the original Prometheus CD with the card.  I use a Prometheus in an A4000/16MB with GVP TrexxII060/128MB, Buster 11, and Rev. B daughterboard no problem with a Voodoo 3000 (though that chip gets hot!).  I do recall that when I tried to install the Prometheus updates (I forget the version #s), it didn't work any more.  So I switched back to the original cd drivers (which work fine with Picasso96 and Warp3Dv4.2).  I also remember reading in Amiga Format years ago either the Micronik or Elbox ZIII board requires some kind of trace cut on the daugherboard to make all the slots work right.  Since your problem also exists with the original 4000 daughtercard that's probably not the issue.  Hope this helps.
