How to edit startup sequnce?

The startup sequence is located in S:  Unless the FBlit documentation specifically tells you to put it in the startup-sequence then I'd put it in user-startup instead.  Both files can be edited in any text editor as long as you save it back as plain text.

If it must go in the startup-sequence it will be at a specific point, which the documentation will tell you.  It's years since I've used it myself so I don't remember if it must.

For future reference; if you ever get an RTG card you'll need to remove FBlit or some of the graphics data won't get displayed by the video card.

Perhaps post your startup sequence and user startup here so people can see where you have added and any options supplied.

You could also fire up any word processor or text editor and open S:Startup-sequence

If you are running os3.9 open up the workbench preferences sys:prefs/workbench and tell it to put icons in other memory instead of graphics memory.

As well as FBlit you might want to install FText, FScreen and BlazeWCP.

Also IconLib_46.4  and StackAttack2 would be a good idea.

You can get them all from Aminet.
