Please try if 64-bit version is also giving you these issues. There was a few bugs fixed in vmwaresvga.hidd after 32-bit release and one of them was causing issues similar to what you are showing. This however was not happening in VESA mode.


Yes, 64bit version does not have the same problem. Also, the fix provided by AMIGASYSTEM also works on 32-bit.

Has anyone tried AROS 64 on Dell Latitude D520 yet?

Did some testing in Native Mode, the problem you encountered is not due to AROS One, but to "Wanderer Prefs" if you set the "Floating" function in the "Background" Tab on both Drawer and Workbench, you get Icon corruption, see screenshot.

Icon corruption is eliminated if you replace "Floating" with "Fixed" !

With the VESA mode on my Wanderer the "Floating" setting does not generate any icon corruption

With VESA Mode I never experienced that problem, it only happens with Native Mode, it also happened with Scalos

Hi all!

Has anyone experienced this problem where if you scroll content of a window, up and down, it corrupts the content of the window? (See attached image).

I upgraded AROS One to version 2.8 and it started happening. Tried VESA as well as Native drives. Using VMware Fusion Professional Version 13.5.2

Found on the Web a Tutorial showing how to install AROS One, in the video AROS One 2.5 was used, but the way of installation is the same as for the current version of AROS One:

Wikipedia 'Hungarian' has updated the webpage dedicated to AROS, in this new update AROS One and its history have been included!

About NewMasterMind, you can save without problems, no Crash detected, the Crash you received was due to missing data in the Tooltyes Icon (the one included in the Contrib), when you save the colour number, the config is written in the Tooltypes. If you use the AROS One icon you will see that saving will work!

I confirm the Crash on LBreakout2 v2.6.5 included in the Contrib, I replaced it with LBreakout2 v2.6.3 found on Arosarchive

Thank you I'll do some verifications, for the same reason I've already eliminated from the Distribution the things that don't work or that work badly, it was always my intention to avoid that some non-working software could discredit the Distribution.

I'll check on the games, in the meantime I found on Arosarchive an updated version 2.2 of Soliton which seems to work very well, I'm also replacing the graphics with better quality PNG images, I'm also creating scripts to change the theme (type of cards) on the fly, see screenshot !

Maybe in the new version of the distro you can remove, or swap games from contrib with which there are problems described here:
https://github.co...issues/129

At least until they are fixed. It's good if the distro only includes games that work Smile

Then it's definitely the change I made to Zune Prefs, at the moment I don't remember the change I made, if I can with ZunePrefs I'll try to compare the OS4 setting with the 2.6 setting and try to find the differences!

EDIT

Made the comparison and found no difference, however if from Zune Preferences I try to save "without modifying anything" global.prefs is saved with a smaller size.

Maybe this is due to the new core, in fact AROS One 2.5 and 2.6 have the same new core.

I can't really test it because I don't have that problem on any of my real or virtual PCs.

Yes, but it actually does not work only by saving the options, just tried that.
I have to overwrite the file with one of the preset configs.

From your test, the culprit seems to be Zune global.prefs, maybe I made some improvements that your system doesn't like.

A test you could do is to boot the system slow, run Zune Prefs, make a small change and save.

Then after a reboot check if saving solves

Hi AMIGASYSTEM,
as I dont have 2.4 anymore I made another simple test.
Remade the USB Pen, booted from it and the same behavior again, everything sluggish and slow.

Then I followed the OS4 script inside the Theme folder:
SYS: Prefs/Themes/OS4

1 - C:Copy SYS: Prefs/Presets/Config-Apparence/OS4/theme.var to SYS: Prefs/Env-Archive/SYS/
Reboot cold. Same behaviour.

2 - C:Copy SYS: Prefs/Presets/Config-Zune/White/global.prefs to SYS: Prefs/Env-Archive/Zune/
Reboot cold. Problem solved! So it's the Zune global prefs that are causing the issue.
Thats why the problem was solved when I changed the theme using the OS4 script inside the themes folder.

I hope it helped.

Ok no problem there I can do to those tests but need the 2.4 ISO to do so as I cleaned my previous install with the 2.6 the last time I did it.

Ok, since I can't simulate your problem, I would have liked you to do some tests to find out where the problem lies this to avoid the same problem also on AROS One 2.7, if you have the time to do this I thank you in advance

Since you can't restore the 2.6 theme because the script and preferences don't exist, you could do some tests on the Live Pendrive

The tests you should do are these are listed below 'one test at a time' so you can find the culprit

1) Replace global.prefs with that of AROS One 2.4
2) Replace Window Skins with the OS4 theme (Use ThemePrefs Application or Appearance)
3) Replace Pointer with that of OS4 theme
4) Replace Wanderer and Windows Backgrounds, those used by OS4 Theme) and save
5) Replace Prefs/Env-Archive/Zune/global.prefs with that of AROS One 2.4

Yes I verified the file ("Prefs/Env-Archive/SYS/Wanderer/global.prefs) and rebooted more than once.
Anyway the problem is solved, I don't know why, but it is :-)
Thanks

Changed theme, only changed 'global.prefs', in addition to the window and background images, are you sure you replaced the correct global.prefs?

Try manually adding the same skin and backgrounds to wanderer and Window

Hi AMIGASYSTEM, tried both actions but it stayed the same.
BUT!!!! Changed the theme from the default to OS4 and voila.. everything solved!

What the..... go figure. Evething is fast now.

warelogix has anyone experienced graphical problems with Wanderer's "global.prefs" on both AROS One 2.5 and 2.6 !

Try replacing "global.prefs" take it from AROS One 2.4, the path "Prefs/Env-Archive/SYS/Wanderer/global.prefs

Also replace the file "i8042.hidd" with the one from AROS One 2.4, the one installed on AROS One 2.6 is obsolete, at high resolutions on some PCs it makes the mouse arrow disappear, path Devs/Drivers/i8042.hidd

After copying, reboot the system
