New Version of AROS released

didn;t run on my machine  VGA just resets the machine, and the rest come up with funny gpahics at the top of the screen

You should record a list of the hardware on your system and forward it to the AROS team.  The most important will be cpu (not likely to be a problem), motherboard chipset, graphics card (most likely) and other cards.

The standard VGA works for me but none of the other modes (garbage at the top of the screen).  Lucky me and my Savage 2000 based card... #$%@* S3 and Diamond!!!

I've not tried a Savage card, as I don't have one.

The card is a Diamond Viper II which is very different from the conventional Savage cards.  Totally different chip using a similar name.  Sadly it got abandoned when Diamond went Sonic Blue and S3 went to VIA.

In 16 bit mode there appear to be four images of what's supposed to be the screen across the top of the monitor.  
In 32 bit mode it's similar but much smaller and more images across.  
Neither is readable but you can see pixels change when you move the mouse pointer around.

Hmm ... sounds a bit like a bytes-per-line problem.
Are the colors on screen (ignoring gfx garbage)
ok. Ie. do you see white/black/amiga blue/amiga grey?

Nope... colors are wrong as well.  (from memory) It's mostly a black background with some lines that are obviously the Worbench title bar and the outlines of any windows.  The strange part is that the outlines change color when you pass the mouse pointer (a few pixels) over them.

I'll drop you an email and serve as tester for a while.

Well, after some emails back and forth... my Diamond Viper II is now working in all modes I've tested.

The fix should solve the problem for people that saw something like I described above.
