Installing CyberGraphX 4.3
« on: December 12, 2009, 01:46:01 PM »
Hi. I want to install CGX4 but dont know about the correct 'installation sequence'. I have a BvisionPPC.
 
1) Do I first install CGX3 from the OS3.9 CD, or should I start with CGX4?

2) And regarding CGX4, I know there are patches on this site:

http://phase5.a1k.org/index.php?id=3

And I figured I need that 'RC5' update. But do I install this on a plain CGX4 installation, or should I install all the previous patches too?
 
3) Last, do I need to configure CGX4 before installing any the patches? Like, renaming the CvisionPPC driver to BvisionPPC? I've noticed the installer looks specifically for either one of these files, see.
 
Thanks for your help.

My opinion: Straight CGX4 and the latest patch - at least what I've done years ago. Don't the docs tell the order to adapt Bvision PPC ?(I'm CVision/Voodoo man)

Zipper is correct just install cgx4 right away with the latest patch.
This latest patch (or an update of cgx4 after BB2 release date) is vital for correct working of CGX v4 with OS3.9 Boing Bag 2, it updates the cgxsystem.library if remember correctly.
If you do not install this patch CGX will not work at all with BB2.

Installed multiple A1200's with bppc+bvision perfectly this way and also A4000's with csppc+cvision.

The RC5 update is the correct one, just only install this update, no previous versions needed.
When installing the RC5 patch you do not have to do any renaming, just install the patch and reboot.
During boot (if you do not use a scandoubler etc. i use a m1538s for AGA)) the monitor connected to the Bvision should switch on and go in standby mode.
Select the bvision and desired screen res in the prefs, not all resolutions are defined at start, you'll have to create a whole bunch of them,a nice custom one is 1152x900x15

Btw is see you have 060 blizzppc, be sure to have the latest 68060 library, or else cgx will also not work at all in combination with os3.9+bb2.

Thanks, all!

Not wishing to hijack the thread but it is directly related.

I've got a CVPPC that I installed with CGX 4 and the RC5 update. However, with 3.9BB2 installed, I have to 'SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES 'exec.library' QUIET' in the Startup-Sequence or I don't see any CGX modes listed in the Screenmodes prefs screen.

Am I doing something wrong or is this the best it gets? I was under the impression as is stated in this post that the latest RC fixes BB2 issues.

in your case that would be CvisionPPC.info
 
also check there is a preset for your monitor in presets/

This question has been asked many times, but forgive me for asking it again.

Which is the best/latest 68060 library and where can it be found to download it from?

Also, would the answer be the same for a Blizzard 68060 card (no PPC) and for a CyberStorm PPC w/68060/50MHz and 604e/233MHz?
