Picasso96 monitor and screenmodes preconfigured files

[gulliver]

Hi, I am attempting to build a real Amiga distro with the following feature, and I need help on how to implement it:

The thing is that I want it to detect each Amiga graphics card, and install the corresponding Picasso96 driver with only one default preconfigured screenmode of 800x600 16 bit depth at 60hz.

I already know how to detect each Amiga graphics card, and launch scripts together that can do almost anything when they are detected, now how do I manage to create those monitor files with that screenmode when I dont have all those graphic cards to begin with?

Thanks in advance

I just copy existing one and alter it in tooltypes to the correct gfx card.

So you just change the BOARDTYPE tooltype and it works every time?

Is it that easy?

As far as I remember.
With the Radeon 9250, you use the cybergfx and rename it to the card and then alter tool types. Aslong as thats correct it should work.
OS4.1 still use this, this is how we setup radeonhd cards. Then just put them in the storage, so user can move them to monitors depending on card they have.

Great, thanks!

Now a minor doubt: I dont understand the Radeon 9250 comment, you use CGX with it?

Say you set up CGX, you take that and alter it to be radeon 9250 and alter tooltypes.
