Re: Sam460Ex screen mode, audio and network

[Andrea Palmatè]

Hi Zoltan,

I've forwarded the message to Massimiliano Tretene. I'm waiting for his answer.

In the meanwhile i've tried to add -device ES1370 but i get no audio at all. I've also a lot of shared "memfd open() failed: Function not implemented" errors on console

Regard the video mode. I'm pretty sure that resolutions like 1366x768 should work but not unticking the "default" checkbox. They needs to be created by Screenmode program. The strange thing is that during installation i've created successfully the resolution (that however had that problem). Now with the OS even if the resolution is created i have 1024x768 twice.

I've also a problem that host mouse pointer is shown. I've read that i need to add a "tabled" device in the xml file. But where i have to create that file? Keep in mind that i'm using Ubuntu on Windows 10 via WSL and not an ubuntu machine

OK I've got it. I think you've unticked default and set a custom width.
This seems to set the width of frame buffer in memory but the mode the
card is programmed to use is still the one selected from the list so this
won't work. It seems to be either a bug in AmigaOS or the width option
does not do what you may think. Maybe ask AmigaOS developers or aCube who
wrote the driver about this. (Another known issue is that 24/32 bit modes
are not available with the AmigaOS SM502 driver which would be needed for
optimal performance with QEMU, the 16 bit mode it offers is much slower
because it has to be converted on every display update.)
