Hi, Jens,
After having my 1200 motherboard recapped, I am reassembling my Ateo tower over a clean install of OS 3.2. When I saw in the release notes that your latest version of P96 contains updates for the Pixel64, I decided to purchase it and use it rather than the old version that came with the Pixel64.
I am not getting usable output from the gfx card just yet. Here's what I'm seeing.
(By the way, I did skim through this thread and maybe the answer is hidden there, but I found it hard to follow.)
First I installed the Pixel64 install disk archive, minus the older P96 software. (The installer actually gives you the option to install a newer version of P96 from another archive, but I couldn’t get that to work, so I just unchecked the option.) By the way, the Ateo Pixel64 install archive was also supposed to install ModePro but that part hung so I'm not sure if it installed correctly or if it is even needed.
The card isn't working, so I looked at my Screen Mode prefs, and the only options there are the 6 standard NTSC modes.
I then looked at Picasso96Mode in Prefs, and when I launch it I get a "Could not find any modes!" message.
If I drag a new file icon to Settings, and then go to the Attach Setting To menu, I can see a Board0: Pixel64 menu item. (By the way, when I first starting trying this, I saw Pixel64 listed twice, once as Board0 and again as Board1, but that has gone away.)
Upon selecting Board0: Pixel64, I get this warning message: "A mode which is not suitable for this board has been found. Mode: "NoBoard:1024.768 TrueColor" What do you want to do with this mode?, followed by options from Ok to Erase all. I've figured out that if I choose Erase All, then I can click to define some parameters (for example. HiColor 1024x768) and then click Test, and the test screen will display on the Pixel64 (most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't work and I don't know why).
The consistent problem is that if then go to ScreenMode in prefs and select one of the Pixel64 modes for my Workbench screen, it doesn't work. I just get a black screen on my monitor.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated. I'm SO close!
