Title: OS4 HW compatibility?
Post by: takemehomegrandma on November 15, 2013, 01:50:31 PM
MorphOS has a very nice HW compatibility page: http://morphos-team.net/hardware

Is there a similar list somewhere on the net about what HW is supported by OS4? What I'd like to know in general is what graphic cards are supported, and in particular if Radeon 8500 is supported (accelerated 2D, 3D, proper overlay, etc), or what the support looks like for other R200 cards?

I'm not sure how up to date this is, or how official it may be, but:-

That is a silly question.
And I tried to dig up this information awhile ago.
I don't think there is a complete list.

But I don't see any info about R200 cards there?

That would be very strange...

He can't go more than a couple days without trying to bait a flamewar of MoS vs OS4...  Take his posts with a grain of salt and a lot of patience, and this round will be over soon.

Its OK.
As long as the rest of you notice that that attitude is slowly dying.
Even dyed in the wool (blue wool) fanatics like takemehomegrandma and myself don't see anything wrong with a little more cooperation between the so called "camps".

OMFG! :mad: I asked a *simple* and general question about R200 compatibility in OS4, particularly about the Radeon 8500!

If no web page exists with this kind of info, maybe someone who possess knowledge about this matter may be kind enough to answer "manually" in this thread?

I am pretty sure its supported, but its an old chipset.
it is hard not to take this thread as a flamewar attempt.

ACube Systems has a nice list on their website called AmigaOS 4.1 Hardware Compatibility List:

http://www.acube-systems.biz/compatibility/compatibility_41.php

I like it. Here you'll find everything from audio devices to Ethernet controllers.

I have installed Poseidon for my RapidRoad USB connected to XSurf100 (using an A4000T)

First Xsurf100 was causing freezes after a short time when network activity started. I tried one of the 030 versions and that fixed it.

Then my Logitech G7 mouse was detected after I added the device using Trident and saved the prefs.

The problem is that the wheel is not working in MUI programs or anywhere else. Does anyone know how to make it work?

Also should I comment out the resident usb modules from Kicklayout-A4000T file and maybe add the ones needed for RapidRoad USB (is it even possible?)

 Not sure if you meant to post in this thread?  To use a mouse with a scroll wheel effectively on a classic Amiga, you need a utility like Freewheel.  I can't speak for all hardware but it works great  with my Cocolino and PS/2-style optical mouse with scroll wheel.  You can download it from Aminet, here:
