im totally with olaf on this. aros should push for its own open source solution. os4 derived reimplementation of mui4 is not open. it is second choice in this respect.

@gulliver
mesa 7 in software mode on real amiga is anyway only a proof of concept, nothing usable and as long as there is no 68k coder interested to help with particular issues, we cant do anything about it. perhaps you can convince someone to join. toni isnt interested to contribute much beyond kernel issues.

aros68k is in some (probably many) respects worse than 3.9 or maybe 3.5. as one of many factors speed and optimization comes to mind. also support for some essential third party hardware like mediator doesnt yet fit in, which reduces its usability on real hardware dramatically to what genuine extensions like zorro bus may to offer.

still it comes with many things as granted out of the box, that on 3.x were only available as patches and it widens the software choice for 68k by whats included in aros contribs and ports.
