Mediator, Voodoo & Monitor Probs
« on: June 04, 2005, 11:09:58 AM »
Morning All

I wonder if anyone can help, I am having problems with getting an output to either my Hansol 710P CRT or Illyama E381 TFT monitors from my Voodoo3 Graphics Card.  I have performed a clean install of OS3.9 from OS3.0 using a emergency boot disk.  I then installed Picasso96 installed the Cybervision64 3D driver, went back through the installation and changed the monitor freq(I guess this might be a problem as I set it to the highest refresh rate). I then installed the mediator software and renamed Cvision3D to Voodoo.  I then went into Picasso96 Screen mode, this is where I am having the trouble as I don't know what the monitor settings should be. I am getting a signal through to both of the monitors because if I set the refresh rate too low on the TFT the monitor displays its own error message.  

Am I choosing the wrong settings, if so could somebody supply them.  I have noticed and I don't know if this is related but the Picasso install, installed a program called PVS, when I try to open it it tells me that it cannot find the file "Mui(something else).libary" or something like that.  Could this be causing a problem.

I also thought it might have something to do with the mediator as I am unable to use the Mediator config program supplied on the CD as everytime I click on the button it asks for "C:installer" the only program similar to this I have in my C: draw is "C:Install". Any clues

Any help would be gratefully received :-?

Many thanks

Hi, The installer program is on the CD amigaos3.9:OS-version3.9/workbench3.5/utilities/installer.  
Just drag and drop this to your sys:c directory.  Any program with an installation script wil need you to have this in your c directory.
It sounds like this PVS program requires you to have MUI installed - if you have any coverdisks (CDs) most tend to have a version of MUI included.  Alternatively you can download it from  http://main.aminet.net/util/libs/mui38usr.lha however it's 1 meg so you'll either need to connect your miggy to the net, or unpack the file on your pc side and port bits of it across at a time on a crossdos disk.

As to the rest, I haven't got my mediator installed yet, so good luck on that.  When you get it working please post a description to help others in the future who may have similar problems.

Hi

yes PVS and others P96 components, requires MUI 3.8 correctly installed.

About the "Installer" program, you can find it on AmigaOS3.9 CD or inside the P96 archive (copy it in C:)
