New RadeonHD Driver Release

[Iggy]

Alright!

So where is the 3D driver...?

[Iggy]

This is not for MorhOS

Um, that's MorphOS.

And yes I have noticed as I was considering buying an Acube system, but unlike MorphOS, there isn't a 3D driver for later video cards (not even the Radeon 9800).

Wouldn't it be easier if the Frieden brothers asked for some help?

Development might go faster with more than two people working on it.

This is a positive step but I have to take issue with the hyperbole in the statement that the X1000 is a ground breaking computer. What ground would that be? Did someone drop it and leave a divot in the ground?

For goodness sakes, it performs on par with a Pentium class system from 2004 and now has 2D compositing, a feature that many systems have been capable of for over 20 years. Excuse me for not getting excited.

Its pretty bad when I keep finding myself agreeing with a guy o usually take do not get along with.

But he has a point, 2D compositing? Not exactly revolutionary.

Although, the PPCs used in OS4 hardware are quite a bit more powerful than Pentium class hardware.

This is an AEON product.

Every X1000 customer can have free access to this RadeonHD driver.

That makes sense since, as far as I know, all X1000s have shipped with Radeon HD video cards.
Nice to hear that the driver now extends down to the 4650 (which was shipped in a lot of X1000s).

[Iggy]

"Now extends...?" It's supported the 4650 for ages; since before the A1-X1000 was released.

Then perhaps I am thinking of Trevor's planned 3d drivers, as I remember AmigaDave mentioning that something was not to be supported on the machine he has.

BTW - Hans, post at least one more message, your message count number is particularly ominous (especially for an AOS4 supporter).

[Iggy]

:lol: I hadn't noticed that.

Hey, sorry about the error in my one post.
And I'm always glad to see some progress in A-eon's endeavors.
Trevor is truly a nice guy.
