Amiga UNIX: How to get my A2410 working
« on: July 02, 2008, 07:14:48 AM »
Well, I've done it. Managed to install Amiga UNIX v2.1 (and the patch disk!) using the HD install method explained in the Amix Wiki.

But somehow I can't get my A2410 working... During post install it asks if you have an A2024 I answer NO. Then it asks for a GFX board, I answer YES, I get a selection of several cards (hey! Amix standard already supports more than one!) and I select A2410.

All seems well, but when I start X (either Xinit or olinit) all I get is X on my standard VGA port, not on the A2410.... What else do I need to do to get this baby running?

(wow, and I haven't even tried my A2065 yet)

Fantastic!! That was it! Full command I use now is:

[color=0000ff]# olinit -- -tiga -tm 3[/color]

That gives me a full color 800x600 screen. No need for me to use 1950_kludge as I have no visible flicker.

Wowie! I'm a happy camper! Now I only need to find out how to set a JPG background (or GIF or whatever) on OL....  :-)
