When will more hardware be supported? Doesn't work on my
Laptop: Sony Vaio VPCEA2S1E
Notebook: Acer ApireOne 533
When you say "doesn't work", do you mean they don't boot? If they partly work, you need to be more specific.
Seems pretty random what laptop it works on. Like why only some AspireOnes, and the older ones at that.
Yes, it is. Manufacturers like to make their laptops with random hardware, and there aren't enough AROS developers to create drivers for all components.
The Hardware Compatibility in the manual makes no sense to me.
The Vaio has Intel Core i3-350M and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145
The manual says it supports i3 and ATI Radeon (however not specific the 5000 series.)
The AspireOne 533 has Intel Atom Dual-Core N455 and Intel GMA 3150 Graphics
The manual says is supports Atom and derivates and GMA3100
It would be rare if the CPU itself and VESA mode graphics aren't supported. And if GMA3150 isn't working in native mode, it would probably be an easy fix if you were willing to do some tests.
