Missing screenmodes in workbench?

[runequester]

Installed workbench 3.1 on my A1200 but I only seem to have the basic OCS screenmodes available for reason. What are some things to check for that might cause this?

[Matt_H]

Make sure SetPatch is running, and make sure Devs:Monitors is populated.

I think there was a similar issue that came up a number of months ago, turned out to be hardware related. Hopefully this isn't another case...

[runequester]

I'll check into that.

Everything else seems to work fine so Im hoping its not a hardware issue

EDIT: Well, huh. devs/monitors says it "cannot be opened"

[Matt_H]

There's your problem (probably). That's the error you get if there's a drawer icon but no actual drawer. Something's wrong with your installation - better run it again.

Yikes, alright. I'll give it another whirl

as an aside, how do I verify if setpatch is working?

For that matter, what does setpatch actually do ?

Open a shell window and enter setpatch. It will tell you whether it is already active and what it did.

alright so, setpatch is active and has done a pile of stuff. So I guess that part is okay

by the by... what files SHOULD I find in the devs/monitors drawer ? I've tried copying the ones from storage/monitors but other than modes for specific monitors, I dont seem to have much luck from that.

Am I missing something, or is my workbench disks wonky ?

If you got that message from workbench when double-clicking the drawer icon, it could be that the directory itself has been deleted but the .info file for it remains.
