Hi, With older graphics cards you usually need to self edit, try e to edit at the grub screen and change settings to see what works and later use editor in AROS you can edit grub.cfg to have it there as a permanent choice when booting up [code]https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/User/Docs#Advice_for_various_machines[/code]

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=4527]@AMIGASYSTEM - Hi BorniPI, I didn't quite understand the problems with the update frequencies created by AROSone, What Build did you download, can you provide the link ?, if you downloaded the new TynyAROS, it is the deadwood reference Buid, practically the same Core is included on AROS One, consequently there should be no compatibility differences. Also from the AROS One Gub, via BootMenu you can access the "Earl Startup Control" where as on Amiga you will have available a Shel or Dopus4 and then edit the grub.cfg very easily. [youtube]rGWiR6EL-qw[/youtube][/quote] I think i got the problem now: "I did download a nightly build from March 8 2024 from sourceforge." Thank you for the video and your informations! In fact, I'm very grateful. There were so much informations the last two days, i was confused. Sorry it was my fault, i am suffering from longflu about 45 years.

[quote name=Amiwell79 post=4523]@Amiwell79 - at boot time on grub select c 'command line' and type vbeinfo it will give you a list of supported resolutions in vesa afterwards press esc and return to the start screen select an entry at random not the first one and press e 'edit' and change the resolution parameters[/quote] That is some Linux knowledge i didn't know, thank you for the information.

[quote name=amigamia post=4522]@amigamia - Hello BorniPI, Welcome to AROSWorld! You should be able to select different resolution on the grub menu, right before AROS Starts loading up. I think the lowest resolution of 800x600 should be listed. You can, however, also edit the boot strings to whichever resolution you need. I am not sure if changing the freq. is possible but you can try.[/quote] Thank you. I installed TinyAros, because AROSone made trouble with refresh rate frequencies. The only solution was installing Tiny AROS in VGA mode with 4bpp and then i made that step i used Boot in Prefs. Currently i am using 1600x900 60Hz. I have another Acer monitor that is 4:3 i would prefer to use. I'll try tomorrow. Unfortunately the computer i wanted to use, died. Currently i am using a Futro S300 and i am so surprised that AROS runs faster than the Linux that was installed previously.

Is there any possibility to set that parameters before ínstalling? I have some older Acer monitors here and both have problems with unsupported frequencies.

you should have no problem configuring a workstation perhaps in dual boot if you can favour us in detail the graphics cards supported

Thanks. [quote name=Amiwell79]I don't remember if it was a geforce gtx 470 however the resolution I could connect was very low 1280x1024 is not a bad resolution[/quote] It is not a bad resolution, but since my monitor uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, 1280x1024 appears partially stretched and slightly blurry. Also, how do you actually change the resolution? I already changed things in GRUB as well as in the monitor settings in AROS, but the viewport remains the same 1280x1024 while the resolution becomes bigger and the screen just scrolls when I move the mouse cursor towards the borders.

Not sure if compatible with post/ghostscript. ・I would like to test Arduino, ESP32 and microcontroller programming, but still don't know how to do this with AROS. (*1) Mostly interested in how AROS can handle various cards plugged simultaneously into the same reader. What happens if I disconnect the reader instead of each individual card? (*2) Undocumented. but this is among the few modern USB FDDs that can format 720 and 640Kb disks. I am interested in knowing if/how AROS can handle that. More to come in the future as well.

Hi, In a new thread is ok or add it directly to the wiki but you would need to sign up if you do not want your ip showing for each entry? https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_Wikibooks/Setting_Up_A_User_Account I used a few shell'd apps to gauge performance fps 2d Doom Doom2 Duke 3d tunnel gearbox cube cube2 50 Quake3

many years ago, kalamatee updated gallium, but nothing more was heard of this update, I remember that it was close to doing so on abiv0, but then it didn't, in any case, at the moment it's better to stay with cards that, although obsolete, don't cost so much and give a higher performance in terms of resolution

Yup, open a new thread in this forum or contact Jeff1138 directly.

you can open a new thread if you want or discuss it here, the state of the nvidia drivers I know is still at a standstill technology I had a card with these features but I didn't go beyond 1024x768, now I have an old geforce 8400 GS and I have a resolution of 1920x1080, yes maybe it's better to open a new thread

Thanks for the help everyone! It looks like I should keep the Satellite as it is, mostly due to the graphics. I'll see if I can sort something out from the recommended hardware list. (y)

@Puni If you won't be happy with support of L20, here is a list of recommended inexpensive hardware that has very good support: [url]https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL#Recommended_hardware[/url]

Hi, Welcome, I would suggest burning a CD/DVD or write a usb stick to "Live boot" test with maybe changing the bios boot order before installing as the audio did not work 10 years ago when last tested https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_Complete_System_HCL#Toshiba Let us know how you get on if you decide to test further
