Quick question about Icaros - Will my GeForce 9800 Pro work with it?


Correct me if I''m wrong but I think you can not yet use Nvidia 9xxx series with Gallium in order to get 3D accelerated graphics. Best supported to day are GF 5xxx/6xxx/7xxx series.

Also that requires you to boot AROS in VESA mode since I think the AROS Nvidia driver only support cards up to 6800 or something. This is about to change when deadwood rewrites that driver with stuff from the (Gallium) Noveau-team drivers, then we don't have to boot into VESA mode anymore.

At the best you could use that card today with AROS and boot into VESA mode, but you'd have to wait for 3D.

Check this thread for more info.

AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie
