Missing screenmodes in workbench?
« on: June 11, 2010, 04:05:41 PM »
Installed workbench 3.1 on my A1200 but I only seem to have the basic OCS screenmodes available for reason. What are some things to check for that might cause this?

I'll check into that.

Everything else seems to work fine so Im hoping its not a hardware issue :(

EDIT: Well, huh. devs/monitors says it "cannot be opened"

as an aside, how do I verify if setpatch is working?

For that matter, what does setpatch actually do ?

Open a shell window and enter setpatch. It will tell you whether it is already active and what it did.

alright so, setpatch is active and has done a pile of stuff. So I guess that part is okay

by the by... what files SHOULD I find in the devs/monitors drawer ? I've tried copying the ones from storage/monitors but other than modes for specific monitors, I dont seem to have much luck from that.

Am I missing something, or is my workbench disks wonky ?
