A4000T not giving video output from my Cybervision64 Card

[pierre]

send me the tower.  I will send you a desktop with the cd64 card running.. we will call it even...

[pierre]

errr fine.... I think I had to install from the origional floppy's form phase5 to get mine up and running but that was the cv64/3d.  I just got a "new" cv64 that I will install in a 3k, will let you know how that goes tho.
good luck...

[pierre]

o.k. I did not have that much luck last night getting the cv64 running in my a3k. I have a few questions of my own if I may... sorry I don't want to steal this thread, and I don't want to start anthor on such a similar topic.  so...
I had a cv64/3d running in the a3k that was working just fine.  I decided to replace the cv64/3d with the cv64 becasue of the monitor passtrough/switching thing. Simply swapping the card was a no go.  I think this is where I messed up.  I installed the driver overtop of the old driver and enabled the passthrou option. Partial succes. the pass trough is working the showcgxconfig telles my I have the card installed. but I can slect the cgx screen res in the screen mode selector, it like half of an install!  I have since tried removing old drivers and libs.... reinstralling v3 and then upgrading to 4.1.  just 4.1.. al with the exact same result. I would say screw it and do a fresh os install but my os install is NICE and aside this works SUPER and there is an 060 and other stuff I don't want to reinstall.  Any ideas on what I did wrong?
thanks

[pierre]

anybody have ideas how to do this WITHOUT a fresh install?  the uninstall scrips keep crashing and im not sure im iuninstalling everything.. so frustrating as it clearly working I just can switch the res!

[pierre]

i am just about to do this purge. thanks.

currently I can not even view the cgx displaymodes in the screen mode selector.  they are not available.  hope this fixes it.

[pierre]

so far removing the files..rebooting...reinstalling 4.1 drivers did not work.  I am "pretty" sure the card works and totaly sure the computer is working so it must be something with my OS/install. it pains me that i will try this fresh install and then maybe have the same result!  I must be doing something wrong?

@zipper
that would explain a few things... VERY good info, I did have 3.9 with boing bag 2 and rom update!  
I'm am a bit frustrated as I have now reformated my "very nice install" ripped my 060 mkII out of the box!  I reinstalled 3.1 but now can't get the cdrom back online!  I'm sure all my hardware is working I just don't know if I have the time to EVER get it back together...all becasue I wanted to make a simple change.  The cv64 should go into the a3000 so that I can use the built in scandoubler with the monitor switch on board and the cv64/3d would go live in the a4k... SHOULD be easy!  The amiga is not "Plug and play" and is a far cry from it... it actualy has the WORST system for upgrading and installing hardware AND software that I have EVER seen.  Wnat to change somethign on the system ... gee forget all the time you spend setting things up becasue now you have to redo it all again... I hope that morphOS or OS4 have figured this stuff out becasue the classic sucks!
Sorry for the rant but I needed it.
thanks for the help.

PS.
No I do not think your motherboard has anything to do with your issues, it's (bad) software.  If your mother board had issues you would notice that BEFORE you even got the cv64 install.
 

[pierre]

rich, I think its your  monitor config.  Your monitor is not syncing..  what did you set it to during the install.  I gives you a list to shoose from ... 80htz....ext. try a lower setting see if that helps.  bad software, i mean botched install....

[pierre]

I just wanna say for the record....I got it all working.  It happend within 15 mins, it was amazing! dispite anything I have said this was simply great, the amiga rocks!

a big thanks to all who help.  I have earned sooo much in the past few months, maybe one day I will get a hang of this stuff.

[pierre]

so if I install this 42.7 driver I can I just install bb2 with the rom update?
thanks!

[pierre]

it's NOT the motherboard, I am willing to bet money! those things are sturdy. Please belive me, IT'S NOT THE MOTHER BOARD. Can't be, it's imposible!
I will post what I did once I get some time.
thanks again,
Pierre
