Boing bag 2 - no mouse/keyboard?

[matthey]

Ive noticed after installing the Boing bags some files in devs: are added or renamed. For example, NSDPatch.cfg-BB3.9-2 etc. Do I have to rename them so they are loaded? Or are they called by their new name? Is Setpatch taking care of this?

DEVS:NSDPatch.cfg is the one used by SetPatch. Rename newest NSDPatch.cfg to this. Don't expect this to fix your problem.

And then there's still the question of the new ROM Update that came with BB2: is it safe to install it? Could my problems be caused by it?

The ROM update does cause problems on some Amigas. It's easy to try without it. Use the SetPatch switch or rename "DEVS:AmigaOS ROM Update" temporarily.

Maybe there isn't enough stack for Iprefs. Too little stack caused problems with some AmigaOS 3.9 setups. You should probably check that you have these file versions...

IPrefs 45.13
setpatch 44.38

The SetPatch is important because it sets the stack higher for some tasks. Next you can try upping the stack with the stack command early in the S:Startup-Sequence before IPrefs but after SetPatch...

Stack 4096

This is not necessary on most AmigaOS 3.9 setups including mine. You might try the bug fixed AmigaOS 3.9 unofficial updates which add some stack to some modules that may be interacting with Iprefs. These also fix some bugs and I have been using without problems for quite some time. Info is here...
