Title: AROS coherency mode problems and screen dragging questions?
Post by: haywirepc on October 30, 2011, 04:43:38 AM

I installed a new system with AROS and I never installed amiga forever before with coherency mode, so I gave it a try.

Now when I boot aros, the system boots to amiga os3.9 screen... Kind of strange. I have backdrop off, but I'm not sure if something is not set right? I have both screen modes set to 1024x768 32bit.

Are there any tutorials on coherency mode anywhere?

Can somone tell me how your settings should be, or how to navigate between os3.9 screens and wanderer? Except for same mouse pointer, I don't see the benefit of this, someone please explain this new "coherency" mode to me so I understand better whats happening?

Also, is there a way to disable this coherency mode except for setting a different screen resolution? Maybe I think fo rthe few classic amiga apps/games I will be using I can use the adf thing instead...

Also, on screen dragging can someone tell me how to send things to back screen, like I saw on youtube a video with mplayer and somehow he sent the video playing to back screen? Also I saw someone send boing ball demo to back screen...?

Thanks,

Steven

Just turn on coherency either through gui or command line arguements. There's an actual option for it. Also, make sure you have the janus daemons running from amiga os.

One thing I mention is that if youre expecting it to work well on an old machine you'll be disappointed. Coherency is really in the realm of core2@3ghz and above type specs (or above 5ghz p4/4ghz athlon 64(per core)). Intergration works nicely with less, but forget coherncy if your pc is more than 2 or 3 years old and/or a low power device.
