BVision under OS4
« on: October 31, 2008, 02:03:31 PM »
Is there anything I need to do to get a BVision working under OS4? I selected it as the gfx card when I installed the OS, but when I boot from the installed OS it opens on a 31KHz PAL screen and no BVision screenmodes are available. Any ideas?

No, BVision is in DEVS:Monitors.

That worked! Thanks!

:pint:

Now that this machine is all working I have a difficult decision to make...

Yes, I'm considering it! I went in to the Apple Store today and had another play... Very tempted, and I can get 14% off!

What do you think of OS4 moto?

I haven't used it yet. I'm hoping to get some time to myself tomorrow to have a play.

That's fine with me. I'd rather it was a black box OS than have loads of stuff installed which I don't want and therefore need to remove!

No WHDload is a pain if you love games of course, but it doesn't matter if you have another Amiga on OS3.9 :-)

Yes, the lack of classic 68k support is very disappointing. Since my Amiga use is now limited solely to retro gaming, I probably won't keep hold of this stuff. It's really nice to see OS4 up and running, but realistically I probably won't ever use it.

Any ideas how I add a screenmode in OS4? I can only go up to 800x600 currently. I tried adding a mode to the tooltypes of the monitor but it still won't show up in ScreenMode prefs.

I did try adding "MODE=1024x768@60" in to the tooltypes but it didn't shop up in ScreenMode prefs. Is there anything else I need to do?

So would getting the frequencies wrong stop the screenmode from showing up?

I had to manually change the circled figures from 800x600 to 1024x768. You might want to try that too :-)

I did try that, but it left the actual resolution at 800x600 but gave me 1024x768 overscan.

If the screenmode you specified is not within the range of the frequencies you entered (and that your monitor can handle), then indeed the screenmodes won't show up.

I'll check the frequencies for my monitor and try setting them to what they should be and report back!

Well, most of my Amiga use these days is WHDLoad. So I'm not really sure what I'll use OS4 for. I'm open to suggestions :-)

Just added the correct frequencies in to the monitor tooltypes and I can now use higher resolutions. Cheers! :-D
