Gosh Piru, I never knew you had OS4!

@Piru

I'm using a PS keyboard and mouse here and only have the A1's inbuilt USB so I can't test USB2 here.

Maybe it's because he's using crappy Apple hardware.  :lol:

Ah that's sorted it, thanks.

It's a bit puzzling why they have a beta tester program for the X1000, when they obviously don't believe in beta testing their stuff before releasing it to their customers. The number of posts from people having problem with OS4.1.3 struck me with surprise, as did the nature of the problems. Well, it seems like the people who gradually have been bringing Linux drivel into previous OS4.1.x releases, now have brought the world famous "Plug & Pray" concept as well. Wow, overwhelming...

Well "sorting it" was disabling USB 2.0 support on my machine, I'm also having some server MUI issues, most MUI apps are failing, had to revert to Update 2 MUI classes, another user having identical issues, so we're trying to get to the bottom of it.

Your posting this^^ message sorted it? Awesome, I'll have to try that with my mortgage company!

Looks like we're tracking these issues over on moobunny if the "developers" get a minute and want to take a look. Turning into quite a long thread actually:

On second thought I don't think I'll try this with my mortgage company.

Bummer, but not to worry, it seems their USB2 implementation wasn't really that fast anyway (maybe they are sending all the data over the serial debug as well? ), so maybe you aren't really missing out on anything here? And maybe they will make a 4.1.4 in a few months, who knows...?

I'll be honest, not too fussed about USB, I only use it for mouse/kb.  The MUI issue bothers me more, pretty much every MUI app locks the system up and crashes with the latest MUI for me and Voodoo (another user on AW).

Hmm, a problem indeed, especially considered the soon to be released (?) ports of Fab's Odyssey browser and mplayer version to OS4.1.3, that both needs the updated MUI-stuff AFAIK...?

This is cool, but why do people need to be so negative?

It's not about positive/negative, but the fact that Hyperion now has released, to their paying customers(!), a piece of software that seems to be totally untested and probably not even finished developing in the first place. How they can do this is mind-boggling. They apparently are completely clueless. IMHO this puts the "X1000 booting OS4.1.3" thread in completely new light.

This must be the worst OS4 release *ever* (but what can you expect when you beg your paying customers to handle the OS development for you), it's obviously breaking the most fundamental and basic things for many users (like MUI and USB) that at least seemed to be working in OS4.1.2!

And this is how the Lead Developer comments this:

"Both IBrowse and YAM are 3rd party so I suggest you talk to the author(s) directly."

I mean, OMG! Can't believe I'm reading that! Like: "We ****ed up the OS so the 3rd party apps you have been using for a decade suddenly don't work anymore, but that's not our fault". I'm out of words, don't know what to say. I'm just amazed...
