Can't get decent resolution from Cybervision Card

[skilgannon]

Hi all,

It's been a wee while since I posted a request for help

I have an Amiga 4000 with a Phase 5 CyberVision 64/3D with scan doubler and a 22" LCD Monitor.  I've installed Picasso 96 but none of the resolutions / frequencies will work on the LCD.  The only resolution I can get to work are the "standard" Interlaced and non interlaced resolutions.  None of the Cybervision ones work (even the low res ones) as they either end up as "no signal" or "signal out of range".  My OS is WB 3.9.

Any help as always is appreciated

John

Thanks both - will take on board your suggestions and have a go later.  Apart from the H and V frequencies - should I also change the "clock" setting on Picasso as it's sitting at something like 80hz as default but I assumed this was just the speed of the card?

Cheers

Thanks Zipper - I can't get any mode at all to work so any time I hit test I'm not sure if the machine itself freezes or just cant display but it never comes back without a reboot.  Will try reducing the clock to 60hz and change maybe 800x600 to work at around 60hz too and see what happens

Womder if its the driver then because using the normal screen mode pref I can test all the resolutions that you get as standard with OS3.9 and when they dont work at least it comes back (think I am running in 640 x 256 laced or something like that) it's purely when I use the cards own resolutions that it hangs.  Might try the cybergraphx as well tonight.

Cheers all

It's plugged into the Scan Doubler one (I think as that's the smaller of the two cards).  I tried plugging it into the other one but it didn't show anything at all although the monitor light was green as if it was receiving a signal.  The driver is just the CV64 one.#

Cheers guys

Damn - broke the workbench lol  Think I selected a mode and saved it that it can't do  doh!

[skilgannon]

LOL - I'm such a Noob!  I bypassed the Startup sequence by the old jedi mind trick (two button mouse hold hehe) and then did as you said with the driver and hey presto,  nice one Tunbleweed

So I'm back at 640x256 with 256 colours and it's working fine.  Jus need to try and get the video card working now with higher resolutions hehe.

If I recall correctly, you actually need to click a mouse button to make it revert.
It won't come back on it's own.

Oh - nice one CSixx - the mouse button does bring it back!

Here's how I've got mine configured.
PS I can send you my P96 config file if you want to give it a go.

Hi Weed, would you mind sending me your P96 config please?  Still no joy in getting it to work.

Cheers

John
