@Patrik:

I notice you're running the 4.3 version of the prefs settinga program - I can't seem to find a copy anywhere!

Any ideas where I could download it, or if possible could you send me a copy?

Yes.
Keep in mind, that even if you have an graphics card in your Miggy with an suitable monitor attached *AND* additionally plug in the Amiga (OCS/AGA) monitor, you are able to switch between them with the key combinations "Amiga & N/M".

So would I see it kind of normal if the graphic data is stored in the CHIP RAM and in the RAM on the graphics card as well...
All the best,

Hi patrik,

i've tryed your CyberGraphX settings and, at least here i have a 5-6% of CPU in use even without do nothing.

Resetted my original settings and now about 0% cpu !?!? (as should be)

really weird don't you?

Try with a CPU meter if you have ~0% of CPU usage after a fresh boot.

Consider that i have 2 GFX card installed.

I have in Enviroment: (differen than yours)

SaveMem>ON
AlertEMU>ON
KeepAmigaVideo>ON (probably this is the cause)
56KhzAUDIO>ON

and Tooltypes as yours.

Ciao :-)

Got it :-)

it was

56KHZAUDIO disabled

that caused the 6% of CPU eating . . . don't ask me why!?!

Now i have the same Env anf Tooltypes as yours BUT the above 56KHZAUDIO that is enabled.

I have an audio card installed too. (RepulseGold)

Bye :-)

Fblit might help a bit...

No.

FBlit is only likely to lock up the system with gfxcard.
