[iyonix-support] Corrupted display using RISCOS 5.12 and FX5200 card

Hi,

I upgraded to RISCOS5.12 but did not upgrade to a FX5200 card until
today. I now notice screen corruption if I try to use certain games
like StarFighter and !TwinWorld. The screen seems to have alternative
columns of unaligned graphics.

After consulting with Chris Brazley and did a further test and found
that I can induce the same effect by selecting Mode13. If you grab the 

screen in !Paint and then change back to the normal mode you can
restore the corruption. Also if you view the saved Mode13 screen shot
it appears Ok so it does point to something being amiss.

I installed the FX5200 by first setting up a Transfer ROM , installing 

the card and then putting a full Rom image in the machine.

I have a Gainward FXPowerPack Pro660 TV/DVI card 128mb PCI.

I know it wasn't present with my old card and RISCOS512 because I
tried !TwinWorld in the intervening period.

In all other ways the card/RISCOS512 combination seems to be OK apart
from the obvious 32K mode issue.

Doug
