New Version of AROS released

[Dagon]

actually I don't know if there is a category for AROS...

Yeah, an Aros category would be very cool, Aros isn`t an Emulatror.

I `m downloading the cd version now ;-)

I`ll have the new AmigaOS in my new Amiga, and Aros in my PC when it will be more complete :-)

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

I tried it on an ATI Radeon 7000 and an 8500.  It produced what looked like a number of miniature versions of the display in a row across the top of the screen in all modes but VGA.  My Linux box has a Trident Savage4.  On that hardware, the non-VGA modes caused it to output the display at 15.8KHz.  Of course, my monitor can't display that.   :-(

However, the VGA mode worked on all my machines.

Typical... there's always one isn't there!!!! :roll:

I am sorry that I have the only configuration, out of the almost invinate conbinations, that breaks your program.

If that is your attitude then I will think twice before I waste another CD on the AROS project.

For the record I have a:
1.4GHz Athlon Tunderbird
iWill KK266plus motherboard
(if i can ever get to iWill's website i'll say which chipset)
Radeon 7500 (powered by ati)
768Mb RAM
SouundBlaster 5.1Live!
Generic PCI LAN card
Kayboard
USB mouse

Actually the crosscompiler is even prefered here ....

It is just that sometimes ago someone told me that C++ would
only work once the native-gcc is done.

Ehy, dude, calm down! Matt wasn't attacking you at all, he was just being ironic

No, don't worry, that's not the case.

Actually, you could use C++ right now already, however you won't be able to use the standard C++ library nor exceptions, since those things need to be specifically adapted to AROS.

The AROS-team are really doing an amazing job!
...and that without getting payed......

a big hug and kiss to you all!

Problems with 16/32 bit modes on AthlonXP/Radeon7500 here:

either I am only getting some trashed line at the top
of the screen... either simply black screen...

VGA works fine.

Regards,
Leo.

Mmmh you mean classes with virtual-fucntions and so on now work ?

Cool  :-D

Oops sorry Jumpship... I didn't mean to offend, that's why I put a smilie at the end of the sentence. I was just being Ironic, since I imagine that that quite a few machines won't work. I have tried to test as many different configurations as I can. I will always list any compatibility problems I find.

As soon as you listed your machine specs, I was on to my friends to see if any of them had a similar configuration to yours, so I could test it.
Sadly all my friends are really cheap and 90% of them have Geforce2 mx's...

It seems that there is a general trend of Radeons not working, If you (and several others) hadn't posted that information, then there is no other way we could have found that out!!

So I thank all of you who have provided feed back as to this latest release.

Guys you should use a rewritable CD. You can`t burn cds every time they release a new version.

 It would be very nice if there was a list of the supported hardware.

[falemagn]

Mmmh you mean classes with virtual-fucntions and so on now work ?

Yes, they do. However. you'll have to define your own operator new and the like.

[bloodline]

I would love to have a list of supported hardware, but until I get back the bug reports from you guys, I have to assume it will work on all Pentium class machines with VESA2 compatible Graphics cards(as it should!).

By the way, I like your Epicurus Avitar, Epicurus being my favourite philosopher.

This reminds me, I need to finish up that tulip driver for AROS that I promiced I'd work on.

Very impressive Matt........nice music too!

@bloodline

Sorry, I didn't mean to have a go at you, I guess I wasn't feeling very ironic this morning and misread the smiley you used :-)

Hope that the info helps out.

Once again sorry for "jumping" (no pun intended :lol:) off the deep end at you!
