And I never thought about upgrading the firmware of the KVM switch, should probably try that some day when I feel lucky .

Maybe the newer firmware would even let me put my keyboard back where it was meant to connect? You never know (unless you try).

Best regards,

Good to hear it was actually a 3rd party driver issue - and one which was quickly solvable.
Hadn't thought of a 3rd party driver to be part of that mix.

I don't have an X1000 myself, only MicroA1, SAM460 and X5020, so can't comment on how CFE uses USB keyboards. Does it stall forever in CFE? What if you switch the KVM away from the Amiga and back? Or presses keys on the keyboard?

I've never upgraded the firmware of my CS1784A, so I guess mine is still running some ancient version :)

@nbache
I always uses the keyboard shortcut for switching the KVM, but that probably requires you to use the keyboard USB port for it to work.

I don't know what the problem could be.
I've been playing for over an hour now on Qemu passthrough Asus Radeon HD 7750 Peg2 with hardware acceleration.
On Peg2, I only have 1 Gb of memory. I exited the game - I don't see any memory leaks. I still have over 700 Mb of free space.
The graphics card memory hasn't changed either. I haven't encountered any GR.

@walkero asked for someone to make a port. Maybe someone will recompile a version and send it to you for testing.

@Tuvok

I use a CS1784A with some of my machines also, including an X1000.

I have found that it works best if I connect the keyboard not to the socket with a keyboard symbol, but to the "generic" USB socket below that on the back of the KVM switch. I have the mouse receiver for my wireless mouse (Logitech) in the keyboard socket. And I don't know if it matters, but I currently have the X1000 connected to the 4th section of sockets.

Also, I have found that you have to experiment a bit to find the best way of pressing the switching buttons to make sure the USB is also switched; my technique at present is a short press on the middle of the button (on the little groove).

Best regards,

Niels

@walkero

No problem, I did see your triple smile! I just seized the chance to let everybody know that care must be taken to not run out of keys.

@saimo

Yeap. I was kidding, actually. Your games are so well-made, that I doubt after all these years, there are bugs that you haven't squashed.

@Tuvok

Have you tried connecting your keyboard to a USB hub that is plugged into your KVM switch?

Cheers

@turbo41

Okay, I installed the new mouse driver and replaced the update 2 bootmouse with update 3 bootmouse in kickstart and I happy to report it is working now! Thanks turbo41 for the driver. Much appreciated.

No bug, you must have wasted a key by opening unnecessarily a door along the way ;)

@AMIGASYSTEM

I will try to add it in one of my future releases. Thank you for the info. Added in my todo list https://pms.walkero.gr/issues/63

@Tuvok
Oh, that was so close. I was missing keys as well. And it looks like the same stage. Maybe there is a bug :D :D :D

Awesome gaming guys

Hi, I acquired an Aten CS1784A, I installed the latest firmware from the Aten website (version v1.2.111 2025-03-11) the firmware which came with the KVM would not recognise my keyboard, after the update the keyboard works.

Anyway, sadly the X1000 refuses to boot if the KVM is connected to the "keyboard-usb-port".
It waits at the X1000-boot picture forever.

I could use a different USB port, and connect a second keyboard to the Keyboard-USB port to be able to use the CFE-boot menu, or the AmigaBoot menu, but then why use a KVM if I need a second keyboard anyway.

I did notice that if I disconnect the KVM, boot AmigaOS 4, connect the KVM again, then the KVM can be used in CFE too even after a reset using the button on the case.

Maybe there is a CFE variable or command that could be set in the startup variable to make CFE do whatever OS4 does? Something is being written to some register maybe?

what does the "set HID" command do in CFE? Does anybody know?

I know the CFE sources are lost (or something like that) but maybe it is possible to fix this with some trickery?

@328gts

I knew it right away, when I accidentally opened a door that it would haunt me later on.

All the keys were used up and I would have had to open a door to beat Walkero. Oh well.

Thanks Saimo and for the update as well!

p.s.: @328gts it's your turn now!

@saimo

Thank you!

@saimo

Thank you!

@saimo

Thank you!

On the Qemu side, you need to use the ‘-vga vmware’ option, while in the operating system you need to update ‘vmwaresvga.hidd’, path: SYS\Devs\Drivers.

@AmigaNG

I am so sorry I missed your message and didn't reply yet. But I will try now.
When you set the AHI configuration, set also the Music Unit 0. Some software uses that for music. Maybe that is the reason of failure.
On my system I use AmigaAmp and I know it works fine. I haven't tested tunenet to be honest.

@AMIGASYSTEM

These are great news. I am sure that this will improve the user experience considerably. Would it need any changes on how the qemu emulated system run?

@walkero

Starting with the next release of AROS One 64Bit, the VMware “Native Video Driver” will also be available for QEmu. See screenshot link.
