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.

Not sure if compatible with post/ghostscript. ・I would like to test Arduino, ESP32 and microcontroller programming, but still don't know how to do this with AROS. (*1) Mostly interested in how AROS can handle various cards plugged simultaneously into the same reader. What happens if I disconnect the reader instead of each individual card? (*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.

Hi, In a new thread is ok or add it directly to the wiki but you would need to sign up if you do not want your ip showing for each entry? https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_Wikibooks/Setting_Up_A_User_Account I used a few shell'd apps to gauge performance fps 2d Doom Doom2 Duke 3d tunnel gearbox cube cube2 50 Quake3

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

Re: Is this OK for AROS? Toshiba Satellite L20
Thanks for the help everyone! It looks like I should keep the Satellite as it is, mostly due to the graphics. I'll see if I can sort something out from the recommended hardware list. (y)

@Puni If you won't be happy with support of L20, here is a list of recommended inexpensive hardware that has very good support: [url]https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL#Recommended_hardware[/url]

Re: Is this OK for AROS? Toshiba Satellite L20
Hi, Welcome, I would suggest burning a CD/DVD or write a usb stick to "Live boot" test with maybe changing the bios boot order before installing as the audio did not work 10 years ago when last tested https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL#Toshiba Let us know how you get on if you decide to test further

Re: Is this OK for AROS? Toshiba Satellite L20
the graphics card is not opengl compatible you will work in vesa mode, you must check the network card with the pcitool tool if not you will use thetering with the smartphone

Re: Is this OK for AROS? Toshiba Satellite L20
Hi, Since I had problems with AROS and the previous laptop, I've dusted off my old work-horse, a Toshiba Satellite L20. It was my main PC many, many years ago. :) It turns out it still works, so hopefully I can make use of it again. CPU: Intel Celeron M 380 / 1.6 GHz GPU: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Here is a review of of one: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L20-155.836.0.html Do you think this one would be good for AROS? If yes, then I'll be happy to remove the old XP installation. ;-) Thanks in advance.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
Don't worry it's just a writing error, go easy it's the latest version of AROS One 2.4, of AROS One don't exist, old versions because I disable them from download this is to avoid version confusion.

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
I'm fairly sure this is the wrong place to put this, but I noted that if you download AROS One 2.4, chose the USB version, the file it downloaded was confusingly called "AROS One Image-USB-2.3.vhd", which implies that it is 2.3. But, it's 2.4.

yes you must take care to install the hollywood libraries also https://www.hollywood-mal.com/download.html

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
You would basically have to copy all the Contrib, and not only that,,, many applications require the Hollywood libraries, if you don't want to reinvent the wheel, you find everything you need in AROS One 2.4

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
yes basically the development tools are missing, there is dopus 5 and the necessary software but if you want to make your own configuration download the contrib archive

Re: Trouble with installing on very well supported hardware
So is the system.zip basically the contrib zip but with more stuff (it's a superset?)?
