Choosing the graphics card when installing Picasso96

[garyg]

I'm installing Picasso96 v2.1 over a 2.0 installation and have added a Radeon card to my A4000 Mediator.

During the installation the Installer asks what graphics card I have, listing the many Amiga graphics card options, but not listing Radeon.

Which should i select?

Many thanks, Mechy! Over 100 people saw my post but you were the only one to answer.

Somewhere in the dim recesses of my mind I recalled Cybervision but didn't know it was the Cybervision3D that I was to choose.

I made some of the suggested changes suggested in the P96 installer script and changed the Cybervision refs in the monitor icons to Radeon but for some reason my system hung when I tried to reboot. Maybe P96 made some change to the user-startup that confused the OS?  Next time I may have to boot in the early startup screen and boot w/o a startup and see what's going on.

Thanks again

Thanks, Slaapliedje. If I'm not mistaken the most recent Elbox software hasn't included a Radeon.card file, just Virge and Voodoo, so why would it help to re-run the Mediator install program?

Not yet, BigBronc. The P96 install added a line to the user-startup and then the machine wouldn't boot, apparently since I'd not set it up to use the Radeon card yet but P96 was being started. I commented out the P96 reference but the machine still wouldn't boot.

I sent the startup-sequence and the user-startup to an Amigakit technician in the hopes that he'll see what's wrong.

Also the time shown on bootup is a few days ago if I don't boot in a week, so I'm worried about the battery. I don't know where it is, or if it's easily replaceable (reportedly some are soldered to the motherboard, and some are easily replaced by snapping one in and out of a holder connected to the motherboard).

BTW, I never got the PM that you got the chips so I'm glad I called

The MedConfig tool was run when the Mediator software was installed long ago. Should it be re-run every time Picasso96 or Mediator software is updated?

There are some references to deficons and newicons and some other programs in the user-startup (this machine was originally an A4000D donated to our user group)

No, there's no Mixer reference in the user-startup.

The problem is that I can't run MedConfig because i can no longer boot from the original partition because P96 apparently changed something. Anyway, I never had a sound or TV card on this machine.
