help with radeon 9250 in mediator1200 first edition

hi all
i need help with my mediator1200 first edition with four slots and radeon 9250
http://www.elbox.com/products/mediator_pci_1200.html

i have installed os3.9 the latest updates mediatorcd 2.0

i have installed the picasso 2 from the os3.9cd and chosen the cvision 3d card and renamed it to radeon as per the update instructions and copied the card to the picasso folder in the libs directory

i can attach the board in picasso mode and have made resoultions and they test ok pic 2

i also have them in screen mode program and can use them to see the screen with workbench on pic 3/4

the problem is when i reboot it comes up with pic 1
then it stays on an standard pal mode pic 3 untill i tell it to use the screen mode of the radeon

i would be glad of any suggestions thanks
john

ps i forgot to mention i was using a voodoo3 before using this radeon and all was ok with that

It is a probably a locked program so Intuition can't close it. Check out startup programs to find the program that locks.

PS: It might be a good idea to post startup sequence here, if a more experienced user passes this thread. I do not have much experience with mediator pci at least not working

Hey John,

I had something similar when I did mine but can't remember what was up. :unsure:

Off the top of my head here are some things to check:

- Did you copy the monitor to DEVS:monitors/
- I think there may be a later 2.1 version of Picasso
- Have you tried re-installing Picasso?

My A1200 is apart at the mo' so I can't check my startup-sequence.

I do remember that when I had problems I could double click on the Radeon monitor driver in DEVS:monitors and the system would hang. When it installed ok I doubled clicked on the icon and it accepted the monitor driver ok.

Sorry I'm not much help at the moment.

here are my startup and user startup there may be rubbish on them

i took everything out of my wbstartup folder and still the same

Starting to remember some of my issues now. Try commenting out the following line in your user-startup:

Mixer NOGUI QUIET

I had issues with the mixer software and believe it was the same error you are getting. I don't yet have a compatible sound card, so I wonder if the Mixer software expects to see exactly the right supported soundcards.

I also notice the VGAOnly thing, not sure that's compatible.

What you could also try (but is very tedious) is start without a startup sequence and load up 2 shells from the command line. View your startup sequences in one shell and type each line into the other window. You'll eventually (possibly) get to the line which chucks the error.

edited this too

i have got the voodoo3 and the radeon working together just about
i had a few display id conflicts that were the same (just deleted)

now how do you get the both outputs of the radeon working?

Excellent! well done m8. :thumbsup: :D

I'm sure the Elbox docs say somewhere that both the VGA and DVI ports output a signal simultaneously, so it should just be a case of just connecting up and switching to the different video source on your display.

Thanks I'm doing the exact same thing right now and commenting the above lines out of my SS got rid of my errors except an intuition screen pop up...more messin around it seems :-)

well seems I'm stumped trying to get my Radeon9250 to show up in P96 prefs?? followed instructions exactly but now only card showing up is a Village card??? arghhhh

I can't get Picasso setup to show me anything other than the VILLAGE card? deleted all old monitor setting etc., uninstalled P96 too many times and reinstalled but still no luck.

thinking of starting from scratch with a new HD this weekend so we'll see where that leads in getting this Mediator to behave lol
