Not 100% sure but I think it's a CybergraphX driver for AGA, PPC only..guess it saves me alot of chip ram and gives me more high res screens  :-)

CGX aga lets you use CGX 3 on an aga machine, by using cgx if you have a quick processor you can speed up some graphics operations. I used it for a while back in 2003 ish, didn't notice much of a speedup though.

here's a screenshot

I used to have all the files required including a pdf document containg instructions on a cd, although I doubt I'd be able to find it, I binned a load of stuff like that when I upgraded to a mediator.

It didn't like my A1200  :-(
After installing it BlizKick failed with error code 20, after disabling BlizKick and launching screenmode in prefs my system locks up so I guess I'm done with testing CGX AGA  :-D
Will sit tight and wait for my BVision to arrive instead  :-)

I've not read the docs on this, but being PPC only it may require PowerUP kernel rather than WarpUp to be active.
Just a thought..

I don't think you will, it is more a quick fix to get RTG S/W working on a non-gfx card machine (with ppc).  Does the job, I remember some program needing it and working well.  Since then I've re-installed and havn't needed it though.

CGX AGA came with the BlizzPPC... I used it so that I could run rtg software, worked a treat, but had no speed advantage over regular AGA.
