Hey all, just set up my Prom with Voodoo3 but when you choose a screenmode it just goes to a black screen  :-?

Dumb question, do you have a SVGA monitor hooked to the Voodoo 3?

Should be an instruction sheet in the box.

Explore the CD, there's a text file with quick & dirty instructions for the updated software installation.

_edit-

Also did you attach the Promethues in P96Mode?

I've done that but I still get a black screen... maybe I'm setting up the P96 prefs incorrectly... I select Prometheus and it displays all the modes, so I save, reboot...

Robert

when I click test the monitor changes refresh rate, but no picture.

Do you have the power cable hooked up to the Prometheus? Try running PRMSCAN. Make sure you can see the boards plugged into the Prommy. Sounds like you have a borked P96 install. Check EXPANSION drawer, make sure there is NO Prometheus.library on there.

All good so far. When you installed P96, did you select a frquency you know your SVGA monitor can handle? If the miggy aint crashing when attempting to test a screemode, you are close. Try testing other resolutions and color depths.

okay well here's what I've got... all the modes available are attached to Prometheus in the Picasso settings, but nothing is displayed on the screen, I have re-installed the software as describes in the readme...

Hmm
 For sh-ts and giggles do you have a PC to test the Voodoo on? It should work at this point...

Do you have the ability to start from a fresh OS3.9?
