Cybergraphix 4 + cybervision64/3d = Black Screen

[pan1k]

Installed cybergraphx4, but now when I reboot I get a black screen.. any idea where to start troubleshooting? V3.0 seems to work fine....

maybe this helps (from 3.9 faq):

Q:    After installing Boing Bag 2 for AmigaOS 3.9, I realized that the CyberGraphX screenmodes were no longer displayed in ANY screenmode requester, not even in the Workbench screenmode prefs editor. In addition, this problem causes some programs to crash if they try to open a screenmode requester with CyberGraphX modes only! This problem only occurs when using CyberGraphX V3, which was the last free version before Schatztruhe started selling CyberGraphX V4, and therefore is still used by many Amiga users.
A:    

Did all your screenmodes disappear when you installed OS 3.9 Boing Bag 2? If so this is the same error that happened a few months back when a newer version of BlizKick was released. The problem is related to a version check of exec.library. Newer exec versions (> v40) cause problems when scanning the display database for cgxsystem.library less than version 42.6. Any exec.library patch or hack with a version > v40 runs into this problem. You will need cgxsystem.library 42.7 or higher. This can be found in the CGX 4.2pre11 or later release (found at http://vgr.com/v4/) for normal Amiga graphics card users, or G-Rex PCI card users can use the CGX V4.3beta R3 for G-Rex archive (found at http://vgr.com/g-rex/#software).

Note that you can use AmigaOS 3.9 and Boing Bag 3.9-2, but do not install the new ROM Update...or simply replace the "SetPatch" line in your Startup-Sequence with:

SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.library"

or

SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.library,scsi.device"

(when you have IDE-Fix) ...again, it's all documented.

SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.library"

...or if you're using CGX3 you can use cgx44fixer from exec44.

Naturally CGX4 users should install the latest CGX4 update instead.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. I only select modes that are supported by my monitor. I tried installing again and was smart about it.  Instead of choosing the mode and saving it, i used it instead and got the same blank screen...even my 15kHz Amiga monitor is blank...

Failing this, should I go with P96 or CybergraphX 3.0?

I tried the last patch for it.. samething.. could it be some kind of problem with my Buster Rev. 9? I installed Picasso96 and it works fine too.. just as well as CyberGraphX 3 but I think Picasso runs a bit faster!
