General Mach Discussion / Re: Scale buttons don't work anymore

Have you unchecked "Auto Calculator" under the Operator menu?

That will make it look different. 

Though you can still change the values.  You must hit enter after to make it take effect.

OK Brian can I make a request that the option to have Incremental as the default be included.

Regarding Cont/ Inc mode for the center ring.

It defaults to Continuous mode. Can I make it default to Incremental?

Reasons are twofold.

I use the outer ring for continuous type movement and use the inner ring for sneaking up on edges etc.

I would prefer to not devote a button to select Incremental.

In other words I only want it to work as Incremental and not Continuous.

Further to this "C1E" or "Enhanced Halt State" setting.

Here is a link that talks about it.

Got a reply from Carl.

To the effect that he is waiting on the OK from Art before posting the firmware.

That was a couple of days ago. Still nothing on the website.

The following is again a copy of a post I made on the Yahoo group.

This is something that may come up again for someone.

Hopefully with a search they will find this post.

Sure would have saved me a lot of time and frustration if I had searched and found it right at the start.

Art

After hours and many restarts after BIOS changes I found a setting
that made a difference.

As you alluded to earlier a setting called "C1E enable" is the one.

I disabled it and "How About That" a solid stable line on the driver test.

Pulse frequency is rock solid on the diagnostics page. YIPEEE!!!!

A lot of time wasted chasing video settings. Oh Well !!!

Did some searching on it and it is something to do with a power saving
feature on the Core2 Duo.

It slows down the clock speed when idle, or something like that !!!

That's one for the memory banks.

This is bound to come up again as more users move to these CPUs.

Thanks again for your patience, Greg

The following is a paraphrase of my post on the Yahoo group.



The saga of the driver test.   Doesn't matter that my hair is grey,   I've ripped it all out 

Spent a lot of frustrating hours trying Arts suggestions for fixing this.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

So I went and got another MOBO. Different brand, different chip.

Fitted it all up........ Exactly the same driver test result !!!!!!

#%^*#,   (^#!%,    %$+@#$    Kicked it across the room !!!!!

All that for nothing, how much for sixpence ??

What the #%&@ am I going to do now ??

Anyhow I hooked it up to my machine and it actually seems to be running it OK.

The previous MOBO setup, the one in the first post,  was mising steps. You could hear it.

This one sounds OK.

Driver test is still appalling. Worse than appalling.  Exactly the same as in the first post.  But what do you do?

This new MOBO actually has a bit better specs.

So maybe it is quick enough to cope with the timing problems?

Anyhow the upshot is I don't know what else to do.

So I will just have to see how it goes.

I would love to hear from others running the Core2 Duo 6400 CPU and see how there driver test compares.

This  is not a cheapo crappy mobo I hope.   

It does have on board graphics. Has also a Nvidea PCIe graphics card,

Went through the bios with a fine tooth comb and there is nowhere to disable on board graphics.

Could this be it?
