@Piru Where is this eye candy you speak about that I can't use on my eMac?

Also since the eMac uses shared RAM for it's video RAM, why can't the RAM just be allocated to the Fast RAM under MorphOS instead, leaving more GFX RAM free?


eMacs have dedicated RAM for the Radeon, you're mixing things up. What 32MB is not enough for is Enhanced Display at higher resolutions (then again, the CRT limits the max usable resolution anyway).

One thing I've noticed though, if the screen resolution is high enough, when a window get stretched out after a certain length, it starts to lag on the stretch operation. What's the cause of that?


That most likely means that you are running out of video ram.

I wonder if the XBOX 360 USB controller would work in MorphOS, of if special drivers would need to be written.


No, the XBox360 wireless/usb controller will not work because it's not a standard joypad device (hello, it's m$ we're talking about, they always have their own substandards ;). I am however working on a driver, so it might work at some point - depends on my amount of free time / motivation to mess with usb though, so I cannot really promise anything.
