CybergraphX 4 with BB2
« on: March 06, 2005, 01:59:11 AM »
Hi

I recently installed Boing Bag 2 for os3.9 on my 4000 without reading up on the issues it causes. Stupid I know!!! :-(

Now I cannot call up any cybergraphx screen modes from v4. I know I need to update to 4.27 of the software, but the vgr website is no longer available. Can anyone help!!!

What are the problems it could cause?  I've had BB2 and CGX4 going for quite some time, with none that I've noticed.  Hope none arise.  Regards...Art

BB2 require at least CGX 4.2pre11.

Probably you have updated it when installed BB2.

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).

42_rc5 has cgxsystem.library 42.7 already. So it should work - I think I have it working with BB2.
