Bvision problems

[Painkiller]

I just finished installing OS3.9 and then decided to install Bvision drivers from the disc (didn't tuouch the settings at installation just went with default options). After driver installation my system halts always at the GybergraphX screen.

Any suggestions?

what does you startup sequence look like ?

[countzero]

if you're doing the rom updates, latest exec has a conflict with the cgx3 libraries. You need to either patch your cgx.library with a patch from piru's exec44 package, or use cgx4 (which didn't support bvision I guess, or needs some tweaking). I just had my bvision + os3.9 setup done a efw months ago, unfortunately I'm not really sure how I did it

Here is how my startup-sequence looks like:

edit s:startup-sequence

Setpatch SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.device"

Cybergfx v3 doesn't like the new exec.device

Does it matter where I add this and should WarpOS be installed?

[keropi]

upgrade to CGX4 that is BETTER and solves all those probs

[countzero]

do cgx4 support bvision ?

[Painkiller]

CGX 4 installer doesn't say that it supports Bvision...

BTW I have updated my PPC firmware to this http://phase5.a1k.org/files/FlashUpdates-26042002.lha

FlashUpdates for BlizzardPPC 040/060, CSPPC and CSMK3
Last *private* release with OpenPCI 2.2 support      

44.71      26.04.2002

Any problems with this update, should I go back using Flash-300399.lha?

Here is from start to finish what I have done.

Installed WB3.1 (using 2GB CF card as HD)
Installed support for PCMCIA-CF adapter
Installed OS3.9 from PCMCIA-CF to the 2GB CF card that I'm using as HD (I just did the upgrade, I didn't install additional PPC support and others that are available on the CD)
Installed Bvision driver from http://phase5.a1k.org/files/bvisionsystemdisk.lha

After reboot my system always crashes at the CGFX logo oddly now it doesn't even show the logo anymore tough I can't remember wheter the logo stopped showing after I updated my PPC firmware from Flash-300399.lha to http://phase5.a1k.org/files/FlashUpdates-26042002.lha

[countzero]

have you done blizkick to remove flashrom ppc.library+060.library ?

[Framiga]

check this page for referennce first

http://www.gregdonner.org/os39faq/installtips.html

and then install BoingBag1 and 2.

and yes ... CGX 4.2 and up supports BVision.

Is there a screen on "normal" Amiga RGB out ?

[PaSha]

If EXISTS C:SquirrelSCSI
    C:SquirrelSCSI
EndIf

Set SCSIUpdate 1
If EXISTS C:IDEFix
    C:IDEFix
    Set SCSIUpdate 0
EndIf
If EXISTS SYS:Expansion/XSurfIDE
    Set SCSIUpdate 0
EndIf
If EXISTS SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/NOSCSIUPDATE
    Set SCSIUpdate 0
EndIf
If $SCSIUpdate EQ 1
    SetPatch QUIET
Else
    SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET
EndIf
Unset SCSIUpdate

Unless you have a 4-way IDE adapter, XSurf IDE controller or a SquirrelSCSI, remove the whole lot in the quote and put the line

C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.device"

If you do have one of them, use this

C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.device" "scsi.device"
(someone please confirm the correct syntax for skipping more than one ROM update).

Or, buy cgx v4. Yes, it costs money, but it's better.

This one is good, keep it.

THNX for the replies... I actually already downgraded the firmware and got the CGFX logo back showing Then I hooked up my TV and realised how stupid my problem was I'm actually a little embarassed. It was still after driver installation displaying AGA modes and all I had to do was to go to prefs and change the screen to bvision modes... Still kind of odd that installation it self didn't do that or didn't even give me output in RTG. BTW is there any way to to display aga modes trough Bvision?

I actually have the CGFX 4 disc, but since I don't have a CD drive in my Amiga I guess I have to get virtualcd working and create an image out of CGFX4 disc...

There seems to be still a lot of open guestion for me as I haven't been able to run any PPC applications etc.

Well atleast I have gotten some AGA 060 demos working
