Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=4549]@AMIGASYSTEM - What version did you use of Rufus ? , I don't remember from whom, it was reported to me that the recent version of Rufus doesn't work well with AROS USB images[/quote] That was me in another thread. The problematic version was Rufus 4. I am using 3.20.1929 which has always worked. The problem with Rufus 4 was during the burning of the VHD image. I don't have that same problem. It burns the VHD image just fine. I guess I could try 4 this time but the error is not clear to me.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
Running into a strange issue with a known fully supported laptop (Dell Latitude D520) and AROS One 2.4 which was downloaded as USB image. Rufus was used to burn the VHD file. Booting regularly with no changes just hangs to a black screen. Adding the noacpi switch to the grub boot lines, does start the boot process but the attached error shows shortly after.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=4527]@AMIGASYSTEM - Hi BorniPI, I didn't quite understand the problems with the update frequencies created by AROSone, What Build did you download, can you provide the link ?, if you downloaded the new TynyAROS, it is the deadwood reference Buid, practically the same Core is included on AROS One, consequently there should be no compatibility differences. Also from the AROS One Gub, via BootMenu you can access the "Earl Startup Control" where as on Amiga you will have available a Shel or Dopus4 and then edit the grub.cfg very easily. [youtube]rGWiR6EL-qw[/youtube][/quote] Nope, that was an one way, after i pressed enter in "Early Startup Control", i had the message from my LCD screen that frequency isn't supported. But thank you for the tip.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
Hi, With older graphics cards you usually need to self edit, try e to edit at the grub screen and change settings to see what works and later use editor in AROS you can edit grub.cfg to have it there as a permanent choice when booting up [code]https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/User/Docs#Advice_for_various_machines[/code]

In fact, I'm very grateful. There were so much informations the last two days, i was confused. Sorry it was my fault, i am suffering from longflu about 45 years.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
[quote name=amigamia post=4522]@amigamia - Hello BorniPI, Welcome to AROSWorld! You should be able to select different resolution on the grub menu, right before AROS Starts loading up. I think the lowest resolution of 800x600 should be listed. You can, however, also edit the boot strings to whichever resolution you need. I am not sure if changing the freq. is possible but you can try.[/quote] Thank you. I installed TinyAros, because AROSone made trouble with refresh rate frequencies. The only solution was installing Tiny AROS in VGA mode with 4bpp and then i made that step i used Boot in Prefs. Currently i am using 1600x900 60Hz. I have another Acer monitor that is 4:3 i would prefer to use. I'll try tomorrow. Unfortunately the computer i wanted to use, died. Currently i am using a Futro S300 and i am so surprised that AROS runs faster than the Linux that was installed previously.

Re: Monitor resolutions and refresh rate
Is there any possibility to set that parameters before ínstalling? I have some older Acer monitors here and both have problems with unsupported frequencies.

Re: Recommended hardware
you should have no problem configuring a workstation perhaps in dual boot if you can favour us in detail the graphics cards supported

Re: Recommended hardware
Thanks. [quote name=Amiwell79]I don't remember if it was a geforce gtx 470 however the resolution I could connect was very low 1280x1024 is not a bad resolution[/quote] It is not a bad resolution, but since my monitor uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, 1280x1024 appears partially stretched and slightly blurry. Also, how do you actually change the resolution? I already changed things in GRUB as well as in the monitor settings in AROS, but the viewport remains the same 1280x1024 while the resolution becomes bigger and the screen just scrolls when I move the mouse cursor towards the borders.

(*2) Undocumented. but this is among the few modern USB FDDs that can format 720 and 640Kb disks. I am interested in knowing if/how AROS can handle that. More to come in the future as well.

Re: Recommended hardware
many years ago, kalamatee updated gallium, but nothing more was heard of this update, I remember that it was close to doing so on abiv0, but then it didn't, in any case, at the moment it's better to stay with cards that, although obsolete, don't cost so much and give a higher performance in terms of resolution

Re: Recommended hardware
you can open a new thread if you want or discuss it here, the state of the nvidia drivers I know is still at a standstill technology I had a card with these features but I didn't go beyond 1024x768, now I have an old geforce 8400 GS and I have a resolution of 1920x1080, yes maybe it's better to open a new thread
