- This Version of the EGS Driver for the A2410 U.Lowell Graphics card
- is a preleminary version. It is not complete !
-
- EGS runs in most cases. As this driver is written in C and not
- in the native EGS implentation "Cluster" I do have some trouble to
- make this Driver run.
- First it is an executeable. Please follow the installation rules made
- by the Install_EGSA2410 program.
- To run the driver, the EGSA2410Prefs program must setup the basic
- preferences for the driver first. It will be executed by the installer
- script. It does run on native EGS or uses the MUI(2) under Intuition.
- See also ToolTypes of the EGSA2410Preferences.
- It sets location of the required loadtiga(1) and some other board
- initialisation has to be made.
-
- Please add the line "Wait 4 secs" to your devs:monitors/EGS file !
- This makes sure the driver is up and running when EGSWB is executed
- (timing is for my 25 MHz A3000. It could be less on faster machines,
- I guess...).
-
- The EGSA2410Driver requires a working EGS (6.x,7.x) installation !
- It also requires the <A2410.device>(1) and <loadtiga>(1).
-
- what does work :
-
- Window movement does only work in solid mode (?).
- Please enable the gadget <8> in the EGS-Screenmode.
- Also <Force-Simple-to-Smart 8> would speed things up on refresh !
- (it need's more RAM, though).
-
- Most Appliction under Native EGS do work.
- I tried
- EGS-TV, EGS-PhotoAlbum,
- PicAccess Demo,
- EGS-SpectraPaint,
- EGS-Shell, EGS-Finder, ....
-
- what does not work :
-
- The mouseinput under AmigaOS (EGSWB) does not work - the
- Amiga will crash (comes from the input device ???).
- The Intition Emulation is useless ! (Sorry, I'm searching
- for the bug for some month now, I do not know what's wrong here !)
-
- The monitor link does not work (it is build into the driver) !
- So you can NOT switch between screens with <L-Amiga>-<m> !
-
- What has to be implemented :
-
- to do :
-
- + Bugfixes in ZoomFrom24() und BitBlt()
- BitBlt() is used for Amiga style blitting. It is disabled in V0.8.
- ZoomFrom24() does only zoom into an image, zooming out (<1) does not work !
-
- + Mouseimage support for 64/2 and 16*2 Pointer,
- The mouse cursor must be a 32x32 Image (see EGS-Mouse Prefernces!)
-
- + Mousebug if Image (32x32) moves out of the screen !
- (A2410 problem !)
-
- + Miniterms are not supported right now.
-
- + Dithering on area operations is missing !
-
- + FillMask does not have a pattern.
-
- + use Libcode
-
- + make the Mouse working under normal conditions !!
