Getting RTG screenmodes to work in A4000
I have an A4000, 3.1.4 ROMs and a clean install of AmigaOS 3.2. I have a PiccoloSD64 RTG card that’s known to be working when I used to have 3.1/3.9.
Picasso96 installs without problems, I selected my RTG card during installation. When I run PicassoMode, it displays a list of screenmodes and palettes associated with my card. All options are greyed, though, so I can’t test or use them. None of the modes are listed under the system screenmodes. If I try ot add a new item in PicassoMode, the whole system crashes. Also, in PicassoMode, the Attach function lists no boards. System diagnostics shows the RTG card and states it okay. Any ideas? |

All drivers are installed in the Picasso folder? |

^Card is in Devs/Monitors and Picasso drivers are in the default folders suggested by the install script.

Have you tried Prefs/Screenmode first? PicassoMode is for creating new custom modes or altering the current sets to fit your needs, e.g. to fine tune the screenmode for unsupported monitors.
Run Screenmode to test and save the mode for daily use. |

Screenmode only lists native RGB modes.

Is the PicassoMode crashing when trying to create new screenmodes an incompatibility issue with AmigaOS3.2 and/or 3.1.4 ROMs? I heard that there are differences between Picasso96 versions.

Which P96 version are you on currently?
There have been some 3.1.4/3.2 related updates to it in the recent years. |

If the board does not show up in the boot menu, then this is a hardware issue, not a software issue. If you see crashes, please run MuForce and report the "hits" to get them addressed (note well that I cannot read your mind - without having this output I cannot do anything). Thank you. |

No, there is no such thing. P96 requires only 3.1, and will also run on a bare-bone 3.1 system. It is recommended to get 3.2 for some minor features, and P96 can then avoid certain hacks that are natively supported by 3.2 such as the hires cursor on ECS/OCS machines or system-friendly screen dragging of VGA mode. |

Has startup-sequence all required entries to load monitor files? Maybe there's some sort of "exclusion"?

The card shows on showconfig.
Also I noticed that the system crashes if I try to drag any icon anywhere, so it’s not just Picassomode. What might be causing this? |

Have you tried your system on WinUAE? I tried to install "Piccolo SD64 Zorro II, on OS3.2 "Clean" and had no problem with the icons, see screenshot. Driver Video used "Picasso96_1.25" downloaded from Aminet. While the Video Card "Piccolo SD64 Zorro III" on OS 3.2 on WinUAE on my system is not detected, I need to check if this happens with other OSes as well.

For testing, you can just double-click the monitor icon and then run P96Mode. Are the tool types in the monitor icon correct? In particular, check the BOARDTYPE. Is it correct and does it match your graphics card?

Boardtype=PiccoloSD64 Settingsfile=sys:devs/picasso96settings (Borderblank=yes) (Bigsprite=yes) (Softsprite=yes) Ignoremask=yes Doubleclicking the monitor doesn’t seem to have any effect on how P96mode behaves. |
