So I purchased and installed the Enhancer Software Graphics upgrade. Now I can boot into Workbench, but within a second the whole system freezes and I need to do a hard reboot.
If I bypass the user-startup (holding down the left shift key) then it boots into Workbench and doesn't freeze until I double-click any of the icons. Booting Workbench like this, I can move my mouse as much as I want; I can single-click any icon with no problems; but as soon as I double-click any of them, then the system locks up.
Same as on my Sam460 system. Solution: downgrade to a 6570 as I did, or upgrade to a X5000 or A1222. Or wait for a Uboot upgrade that probably never will come.
@arfcarl It seems weird that it would be a uboot issue, since it boots all the way into Workbench (then freezes); but I'm sure Hans understands what the problem is.
@benny I'd love to be able to find a passively cooled graphics card that works with my SAM460; but I can't find anywhere in the U.S. to buy one.
@everyone So it looks like I'm going to need to buy another graphics card. I'd really like to avoid wasting money on another card that doesn't work. Does this one appear to be one that should work with a SAM460? (I don't care about it taking up two slots.)
This Card uses the original Verde chipset(HD7750,HD7770,R7-250E,R7-250X) so should work. The problem cards for the Sam460ex are Oland based and some of the newer Verde variants .
I have only heard of 2 Oland based cards workings with a Sam460ex. The same model of 1 of the 2 did not work for me. Elwood had one and Hans had one. His model did not work for me. So not impossible but very low probability . so even the same models may have variations that do not work .
