Title: V control Menu items greyed out
Post by: LW_Hearse on 11 January 2005, 18:43:38
Hi there!

I have a question about v-control panel and the area of the panel that says device configuration. All of these boxes are greyed out. Can anyone tell me why? I'm using vs-w2k-xp-1.09-beta10 drivers which so far seems the best for Red Baron 3d as the amigamerlin series of drivers corrupt the game menus in the flying mode and does not draw the far horizon ( leaving large patches of green).

Thanks

The greyed out areas are on the hardware optimization page and the only setting one can check is the enable vga palette snoop. All others such as:

AGP enable
1x/2x/4x/agp transfer      ARE GREYED OUT!
AGP fast writes
AGP sideband addressing

Now, I don't know if it makes a difference but on Koolsmoky's page it shows the same menu area with some of these things enabled and it made me wonder why I could'nt do it also.

system specs:

Pentium 2.4 ghz
OS/XP
512mb ram
Voodoo 5500 PCI
Chaintech Apogee Mainboard 9Ejl2 ( I think)

Well, all those boxed that are greyed out have something to do with AGP...
You are using a Voodoo5-PCI, so guess what...
