Blizzard 1240 and high chipmen usage..
« on: October 20, 2005, 08:33:58 PM »
I have one little problem with my blizzard 1240 128MB..
it uses to much chipmemory at start... when Workbench is loaded i have 1.7MB chip left with 16colors setup..
and my blizzard 1230-iv givs me 1.9MB.
why 0.2MB less with 1240Board?

I have a scsi kit with it, and i use 128mb ram on the scsi kit, not on the primary controller. because of a big chipset fan ;-)

Anyone?

Install FBlit and then SystemPatch on your s-s and the problem will be cured. Use google to find the latest versions. Aminet versions are old.

What is FBlit doing?

BTW, does anyone know if it is possible to make workbench load the icons to fastmem or to the memory on the graphics board. My WB is running dangerously low on chipmem when I am opening a drawer with lots of files in it.

Directory Opus seems to handle this issue perfectly. But I really dont like using it.

my config: a1200T/mediator/ethernet card/voodoo5500/SB64/Blizzard060/32mbFAST/OS3.9

from readme: The first A1200 released by Commodore Amiga had a screen flicker bug, when the CPU loaded the screen started flicking, this fix will remove the bug.
