Picasso96 bug?

[DeQuevedo]

Hi all

I have got a CV64/3D (no scandoubler) for my setup, which is

Amiga 2000 rev 6.2
Blizzard 2060 68060 at 50Mhz, SCSI and 128 Mb fast
Multi I/O
A2032 -- http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=486
Tandem IDE (oktagon device)
AT 286 BridgeBoard from C= for Ethernet purpouses

Wb 3.9 BB2, VisualPrefs, FullPallete, and some minor cosmetic patches.

I have been using Picasso96 2.0 for a lot of time with the very same
setup but with one GVP Spectrum24 instead of the CV64/3D, with a very
good results.im quite satisfied with picasso software.

The subject is that I have reinstalled picasso software in order to
get drivers installed for the CV64, and it worked fine for the first
time botted.
Well, The thing is that now when I boot , some times the CV is started and
sometimes not.
When I start the system with a saved RTG P96 mode i only get black
screen on PAL output and no image at all on SVGA monitor, and when I
boot up with a ECS native mode,wb is displayed correclty in  RGB output but on SVGA monitor activity at all (all
of this with the Cvision3D monitor file in Devs:Monitors).NO mater if i go dobleclick on the Cvision3D monitor file.
Also tried without any cards on the system but turboboard, the A2032
and the CV64. Same result.

Well. Tried to install theugly CGX software. The CV64 works correctly
100% times booted in RTG correctly.

Any idea?I really dunno whats happening here

Best Regards and thank you in advance

But its totally weird!

I have read many times that ppl are using P96 with CV3D. I have been using P96 in all rtg systems i have had up to date, and I was very satisfied.

I have tested CGX for a pair of days. I really prefer the taste of P96, and I feel it much faster than CGX. I wanna mean MUCH faster.

Any idea? Help Pls!

I have got out the A2032 from the 2k video slot and the Cv64/3d inicialization under p96 is intermitent.

I only have to change the p96 monitor file for the CGX monitor file and the RTG comesback to life 100% times booted.

Yeah I feel the redraw faster on P96, much faster indeed. Also my pointer is ugly under CGX (maybe I have to setup some tooltypes or sth under cgx.I dunno. Its the very first time I use cgx soft)

Im making nuts myself.

Grazie for trying to help Franco

Well, it happens the very same in a fresh 3.9 with only P96 installed. So I think it doesnt matter at all.

[DeQuevedo]

Installed a new fresh 3.9 BB1 & BB2, and Picasso from the files area of picasso home page.

It results the same.

Any idea pls. Im desperated.

CGX works but, i feel it slower (I can see the backdrop redrawing when moving a window) and the pointer is HUGE. If i set the pinter to "hires" in the 3.9's pointer prefs, it looks ugly and deformed!

Whats the better tooltypes and environment variables for CGX indeed?

Regards

[DeQuevedo]

Tried that settings.

It solved issues like ugly pointer and so, but It still draw the screen really slow when you compare to PIcasso96 driver.

There is any Picasso96 mailing list or similar?

I have read that some 2k mobbos are partially incompatible with some card, but since mine is realtive modern 6.2 i think its not the case. I have read abou 6.2C.

Where I can find if mine is or not one of that? Or maybe 6.2C is already 6.2...

I have tried it under CGX4, but some tooltypes you gave me, are missing in my config!

What about of the picture.datatype for CGX available in aminet?

Anyone knows if there is any address to post p96 related questions, or any support email/mailing list still working?

Best Regards
