- CGXfix 0.5 - A small but nice utility for Pal Monitors/Tv when using CyberGraphX systems. -I hope CGX authors don't mind if I used the "CGX" name :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT IS IT? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CGXfix is a small utility for all of you that use 2 monitors on your Amiga, one for Pal screens and one for your gfx board. Running the latest CGX4, I noticed that the Pal screen showed a grey pattern (until I loaded some Pal progs, ofcourse), that was horrible to see and most important it destroyed my eyes. So, I loaded AsmPro and tried to patch that simple problem. The first try I did, using OS libraries and functions, resulted in a big executable (over 1Kb). I tried cutting out all those boring OS stuff and including a simple coder's hack, and it worked like before, but in less KBytes :) You can put this file everywhere in your startup-sequence, before of after the LoadWB, or with an icon in the WBStartup drawer. It should work ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHO DID IT? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paolo D'Urso, 68k Assembly programmer. Managing director and programmer at Darkage Software. Everyone interested in Darkage Software can visit his homepage at http://www.idealia.net/darkage (I like talking about me in third person, wow) :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BUGS? UH? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's 6.30 in the morning, and I have included some bugs for sure. On my Amiga system (A1200T with 603e/200Mhz, 060/50Mhz, BVisionPPC, Microvitec 1764 and old 15" Mivar TV) it works without problems, anyway if someone of you notices gurus, errors, can contact me at my email address: . You can use this email also for feedback, that's one of the most important things of the Amiga community! A note: Some programs sets the $dff180 colour without checking if this's already changed. This means they'll change it (most times to the original grey color). I could have coded a low task that checks every X seconds if the background colour is changed, and if so, set again to $000. But Amiga is so full of patches, that I prefer to reload again CGXfix instead to add another task to my poor Workbench. If your opinion is different, write write write :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COPYRIGHT, DISTRIBUTION, ETC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This small utility is (c)1999 Paolo D'Urso (Darkage Software, Italy). It's FREEWARE, this means it can be copied and used by anyone without problems. Everyone can ask me the source code (written 100% in Assembly language) by email, I would be happy to give it to all the interested people. If some Magazines or Pd Collection want to put this program on their cdrom, they are allowed to do until they spread the complete archive and don't modify the files. I would also appreciate if they advice me when put CGXfix on their cd, so I can buy it (an email with few lines is more than enough).
