Hello,

So I have spare monitor floating around the office, I have it now plugged into the on-board graphics card, my large monitor is connected to my radeon card.

How on earth do I set the spare monitor up? On the monitor it just reads 'out of range' I suspect its trying to Mirror the main monitor which is definitely well above the support resolution.

In Screenmode there is no mention of the on-board graphics card and the Monitors page tab at the top of the window is inaccessible.

Anyone can help?

Is the appropriate monitor icon in DEVS:monitors ? If not drag it out of storage and see where that gets you.

Make sure you have boot CD handy in case you end up not being able to use either monitor!

Which hardware BTW?

Read Trevors dual monitor setup pdf on a-eon.com, it's intended for X1000 users but the software setup is the same.

To my understanding SAM440ep mini has still some trouble with another radeon, because it has M9 on board. radeon on PCI can not therefore use DMA and IIRC miniGL fails.

But do you have SAM460?
It might work in dual monitor setup with it's onboard 2D GPU + Radeon.

SAM 460.

In Devs:Monitors I now have SiliconMotion 502 to join the PCIGraphics icon that was already in there.

@Severin

Asks for username/password which I don't have.

Just got it to work on my sam460ex.

You need to have both Radeon and PCIGraphics monitor driver in Devs:Monitors .

I have detect settings automatically selected for both Radeon and PCIgraphics in
Screenmode Preferences Monitor Tab.
I aslo had to define a public screen using Screens prefs using a SiliconMotion screenmode to get the program to open on it

Do you have the PCIGraphics one in Dev:monitors as well?

( I have detect settings automatically selected for both Radeon and PCIgraphics in
Screenmode Preferences Monitor Tab. )

I cannot reach the Monitors tab, I do not see Silicon Motion mentioned anywhere in ScreenMode or Screens - it does appear in Ranger though.

Yes. PCIGraphics and Radeon are both in DEVS:Monitors.
What you can try is to double click Both the Radeon and the PCIgraphics icon in Devs:Monitors and then start Screenmode prefs. Once both Show up in the Monitors tab
Save.

Tried this. Again Silicon Motion won't show in the listview in the first page and the Monitors page tab remains ghosted.

I messed about with Picasso ages ago trying to get RunInUAE to open screens correctly - where can I find its 'settings file' so I can overwrite it with the original file on the installation cd.

I dont have a Picasso settings file.
The default location is SYS:Devs/Picasso96Settings.
I cant find one on the Sam460ex install CD either .

Cool ill check in the morning when I get back into work.

Hmmm I wonder what max.resolution the onboard supports I seem to recall from memory that it sucked ass.

Also check you OS components as I was not able to get this to work when I first got my machine with Update 5 . Note that I have the newest Radeon HD driver, version 0.54.
The onboard video has a max of 1280x1024.

Thank you.
It seems as if the newer OS components make the setup easier.
The PCIGraphics monitor driver is include for Amigaone 500/Sam460ex since the first
AmigaOS 41. CD for it (Update 2).Only the Radeon driver and the PCIGraphics driver need to be in Devs:Monitors for using the both the PCIE card and onboard graphics .
No need to have the SiliconMotion 502 driver in devs:Monitors .

I booted without the PCIgraphics driver in DEVS:Monitors and all I had to do to get the Onboard video modes was to double click on the PCIGraphics driver in Storage. The SM502 modes then showed up in Screenmode prefs.

I normally use a customized Devs:Picasso96Settings file to be able to have 320x200 and 320x240 screenmodes available and stretched fullscreen.

On the X1000, once I installed two RadeonHD card, using any of the custom modes causes a crash, so chances are you'll have to disable the custom modes on the RadeonHD if you experience the same issue when programs using BestModeID() get one of the custom mode on the RadeonHD (unless the crash doesn't happen if the second card isn't a RadeonHD).

@KimmoK

There are SAM440EP user who RADEON9200 card is in your machine?
And running the machine with the MiniGL or Warp3D?
Is there any?

@djrikki

Well I had 4 monitors on my A4000, but 1 went bang, so I now have 3...

It's easy with OS3.9 + CGX..




Wol.

I think fingus has 9250 on his SAM440ep-mini.
