Hello all,
I've got a new Picasso II and I immediatly made my WorkBench
800x600 with 256 Colours.
Before my Picasso I had 724x566 with 8 colours, MWB style.
But now my icons are all purple, some remain ok however but very
few. :(
Also If I use the menus there is some graphic garbage were the
menu used to be displayed.
If I drag icons I get the same garbage.
Other screens have no problems like DirectoryOpus 4.12 CU version.
And Amosaic and IBrowse which I also have set to 256 colours work
with no problem.
AmIRC however gives me every line of text twice and sometimes I
get only the top half of a line so it becomes totally unreadable.
I recently read a little about that this could be a DMA problem.
Somebody said to switch it off. How is it done ?
I also have an Apollo 2030 TurboCard which made me remove my
GVP Series II Controller cause It wouldn't work with that :(
The cards in my Computer are:
Apollo 2030 TurboCard 68030/25MHz 12MB FastRAM
Oktagon 2008 SCSI II Controller with 1GB Fujitsu HD
Picasso II with 2MB
MultiFace III with my modem connected to it.
A scanner interface for the Cameron Handy Scanner Typ 10(Greyscale)
And a Multivision 2000 FlickerFixer.
In that order. The Multivision is in the graphics slot :)
If I change the WorkBench to 8 colours everything is normal on
the WorkBench again.But at the moment I can't use more than 16
colours on the WorkBench and I really would like 256 :(
But the biggest downer is the fact that my MUI Screen for AmIRC,which
is only 8 colours, gets this weird character trashing on it :(
If anybody has any idea or suggestion It would be greatly appreciated :)
