The new ?Quickfix? package is available for registered users of AmigaOS 4.1 and incorporates the first ?Quickfix? package released earlier this year.

Features include:

* Improved overall system stability
* Fixed shared object handling especially for larger applications
* Fixed Radeon Warp3D graphics drivers
* Increased performance of IDE drivers
* Fixed JXFileSystem issues with file scanning
* Fixed Sam440ep ethernet driver to work with hubs and Envoy.

Installation of the new ?Quickfix? package is highly recommended.

I mean for example what mean " * Fixed Radeon Warp3D graphics drivers" ? What exactly fixed in it , which bugs ? For example this annoing-noise-sound bug on pegasos2 when play with minigl apps still here. Or for example very intersting about " * Improved overall system stability". What was done for it ? It's of course not so necessary, i just in interest :) Anyway, very cool to have updates for os4. Every time it's start to be better and better. Thanks for very hard work on it to all the involved ppls.

Home away from home Joined: 09/11/2007 From: Russia Comments: 9111	Re: AmigaOS 4.1 QuickFix available @elwood As i can see at moment, not only "grey" problem on Sam was fixed. Also for peg2 warp3d drivers, was some 'deep/inside/coding' problems with "freetexture" functions, and looks like (i am at moment not sure on 100%, but everythnk looks like that) - it fixes. But i need more tests.. Becouse of it, will be very interesting to read/see somethere the "deep" changes of all these new updates. Like: 1. rewrite fucntion this and this 2. updated this and this 3. fixed bug which caused, this and this I am sure, that developers have this kind of readme for deep/iside purposes, so maybe it possible to see what exactly was changes (from the coder/programmer side) for warp3d ? As i can see changes are huge by just comparing the size of libs. Becouse previus versions of warp3d drivers was: w3d_r200.library - 182.364 w3d_radeon.library - 316.436 The new one: w3d_r200.library - 240.328 w3d_radeon.library - 371.272 Looks like there is more than just "grey-fix" for sam ?

Just popping in Joined: 02/05/2009 From: Leighton Buzzard/Milton Keynes (UK) Comments: 98	Re: AmigaOS 4.1 QuickFix available Great stuff - Quake 2 without the green! This makes me very happy!! [edit 1] Quake 2 works well, but now you get red lines that appear if you resize windows. It doesn't look pretty Maybe a quick fix for the quick fix is needed?? [edit 2] I got rid of the red lines by going into WBPattern and in the Window tab, changing Image Type from Picture to Pattern. The courruption was getting worse with every reboot. It started with a small red dot, and preogressed to large ugly red lines that "bled" into the surrounding pixels when I was resizing windows. The corruption survived a reboot. From the testing I did it didn't affect any programs or games.

It looks like memory paging and low memory related problems are gone. Amiga OS 4.1 works realiable, fast, great and like a charm now. That's very important.

Home away from home Joined: 09/11/2007 From: Russia Comments: 9111	Re: AmigaOS 4.1 QuickFix available @Rogue usb on pegasos works fine, but, if you start to try use/run/ programms which heavy works with reading data from the filesystem (usb one), then some time i have "usb" crashes. Can send a log if you in interest. and what about warp3d ?:) can you a bit more deeply describe what was done ? Or you can't ? ps. also in interest, maybe you already know what problem caused this strange "noise" bug when use minigl apps on peg2 ? ps2. I also found a new "feature" which dunno good or not. Before, i have working one 68k scene diskmag. With this update, i have on the running stage window: "BPCL programms not allowed anymore". But programm working fine before, dunno for what need dissallow it by so "hardcore" way. Let's user choice yourself, want he or not to run this ?

Home away from home Joined: 05/19/2007 From: England Comments: 3582	Re: AmigaOS 4.1 QuickFix available @ferrels USB2.0 support would NOT fix the USB problem, although it might make it worse since I imagine that USB2 is more complex than USB1. What we want is USB1 to be improved, and especially USB driver for Sam440 to be fixed (loosing keyboard & mouse is extremely annoying, especially when compiling). @all The improved speed (subjective) on Sam440 may be due to OS4 no-longer defaulting to the debug kernel. I need to try DVD playback, to see if that is any faster (it was nearly fast enough already)...

Haven't seen any problems with keyboard and mouse, but the inability to recognise most USB flash drives is particularly annoying (and these are ones that work on the AmigaOne). I suspect it is all part of the same problem anyway (as well as the similar PegII issue).

Quite a regular Joined: 03/15/2008 From: Canada Comments: 535	Re: AmigaOS 4.1 QuickFix available @VooDoo This might be what I call the White Workbench screen. Bootup seems to proceed normally, but you get a white screen with a title bar which says Workbench but no icons. I have not seen it yet with this update. However, I used to see it occasionally in the past on first power up if I unplugged my machine from the power outlet for a few days or sometimes even just overnight. For awhile we were a bit tight for space at the computer desk, and I would unplug my machine and move it out of the way when I was not using it. Sometimes I would get the White Workbench screen when I powered up again the next day or a few days later (if I waited that long). A quick ctrl alt alt would reboot the system to a normal Workbench screen. --- redfox MicroA1

Quote: ps. also in interest, maybe you already know what problem caused this strange "noise" bug when use minigl apps on peg2 ? This isn't a MiniGL issue, it can also occur on non-Warp3D/non-MiniGL programs. It is generally happening when something does make frequent use of the PCI bus. Quote: Let's user choice yourself, want he or not to run this ? BCPL programs are no longer supported, if they work then it's a coincidence. This is not likely to change.

As far as I remember, the Pegasos II has USB 1.1 ports built in, so EHCI support would only help if you have an addiitonal plugin card. I wonder though what kind of USB devices you are using, all my USB devices work (although some of them are unsupported due to lack of drivers). Make sure you don't plug too many of them into the same port, as they do have a power limit, and IIRC the VIA chipset doesn't always meet them.
