Any advice Re: FBlit? non-comp. programs, etc?

[marcfrick2112]

Hi, anyone familiar w/ FBlit V.  3.97? Been running it on my 1200T for a while, but I still get a few random probs. with it... I found out that DPaint3+4 have problems with it, as well as Viewtek... any other programs that don't work with FBlit? Specifically, programs that need to be excluded from FAllocBitMap via FBlitGUI....

My miggy: A1200T, P5 '060/50MHz+DCE SCSI / 8.5GB(ish) IDE HDD, 256MB RAM/OS3.9 w/BB 1+2
running MCP,Madhouse,MM,Powersnap,ReqAttack,ToolsDaemon,VC II, MUI

Ooops, forgot to put in a smiley..

FBlit has problems with HighGFX drivers when after SabreMSN plays a sample or EaglePlayer has played certain MODs.

Here's what it looks like when FBlit has the conflict - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI_bi1eoxZA&feature=channel_page

 I haven't used FBlit since ages, but i peeked at the FBlit.cfg and i have set only 2 Tasks in the exclude list:
V  (Voyager web browser)
Ww1  (WordWorth?)

running MCP,Madhouse,MM,Powersnap,ReqAttack,ToolsDaemon,VC II, MUI

 Why do you run Powersnap and MCP? Have you encountered problems with the Snap function of MCP? It used to be problematic, but two serious bugs have been fixed in the recent versions.

Thanks for the replies....

AmigaMance: I could never get the snap function of MCP to work.... ever.... Since I cut and paste text regularly, I thought it would be easier to just use PowerSnap....

Also, oddly I have no problems with Voyager or Wordworth when FBlit is running....

I get the same issue while playing MODs with either CoolMOD or AmoralPlayer (I forget which, it's been a while.) One seems to work fine while the other doesn't.

Fblit hacks into the bitmaps of Total Chaos AGA and causes gfx corruption.
I have never used FBlit myself.  These reports came from multiple independent playtesters over the years.

I've got fblit running on my a1200 blizzppc 060/50. Runs fine over here. But you'll have to find for yourself which option(s) you have to turn on and which one(s) to turn off with the editor, fblitgui.
