- Spent more time with it again last night. This time I tried something
- completely radical (at least to me).
-
- Moved EGS from DEVS:Monitors to SYS:Storage/Monitors.
- Rebooted A3000
- After Workbench had completed setting up on the screen, I manually
- invoked EGS by double-clicking on the icon
- Changed Amiga ScreenMode to the A2410 and away I went
-
- Not only did the software work, but I was unable to reproduce the crashes
- with the right button - and even TERM (v4.1) which I had been told will
- crash EGS didn't! I've never been happier - and I really like the resolution
- of the A2410.
-
- Now the biggest question - why doesn't it work correctly from DEVS:Monitors?
-
- I plan on changing my S:user-startup to invoke EGS after everything has
- booted - and then execute the screenmode command to get it to switch over.
- My goal is to run with only 1 monitor...
-
- Thanks to all that have offered advice and comments. I don't think I would
- have survived this one without the friendliness and offers from the Amiga
- community. My hat is off to all of those people.
