Hello Nigel.

I have not tried altering the UEFI options simply because I do not know what to alter that would be relevant. What settings did you change? Even if it doesn't work I can maybe still use it as a starting point.

Thanks,

Hi Kantraa,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The settings which seem to make a difference are:

Boot mode - UEFI Hybrid (with CSM)
CD-Rom boot active (I installed from the live DVD)
USB kegacy support not enabled
SATA devive mode AHCI

Hope this is of some help,
Nigel.

Hello Nigel.

Sorry for the very late response - I completely forgot about this thread.

None of these are in my UEFI.

Thanks,

Following up on question from Templario:

Are there more programs then ArosPDF which have their window title "damaged"?

Yes deadwood there are other programmes with the same problem, they are those programmes that load a file from any path, I list a few that I remember:

ArosPDF
ZuneHexEditor
ZuneView

With ZuneView strange fonts appear if you return from Iconify, it doesn't always do this!

For those (like me) that after the upgrade and reboot, the mouse cursor disappear...(mouse was working but not visible) you have to take back the i8042.hidd driver from 2.5 and overwrite it.

I used the VM of 2.5 to be able to manage files inside the USB key of 2.6.

Thank you Farox, as mentioned on another forum I had put the old version of the driver "i8042.hidd" on AROS One because some users had pointed out to me that it was more compatible, now I restore the new version which is included in the new deadwood core.

Hi,

Just updated to v2.6, all working great, on a EeePC 1000H. I just had to setup the WIFI and Samba connections.

This response being typed in with OWB.

One minor point, how do I get taskbar to remain visible and nothing able to go under or over it?

Derek which taskbar are you referring to ? if you are referring to Amistart you can only hide it or make it appear !

Regarding Samba if you are referring to editing via Network Prefs, it shouldn't work, if you do let me know.

However I recommend you try SMB2 which works very well!

Sorry, I was not using the correct terminology.

I meant Amistart Taskbar and SMB2, I however sorted the problem, all works fine.

Hi,

I use AROS One v2.6 on a Asus EeePC 1000 Netbook, I changed the WIFI Card, which works great, connecting, to Internet and Samba share.

My only problem is the screen size, being the Netbook LCD Panel, giving a resoultion of 1024x600.

So, I thought of using the VGA output to a 23" Monitor giving 1920x1024.

The Netbook video ouput gives the same output as the LCD Panel.

How can I change the resolution of the extenal VGA output?

Is extending the Workbench onto the extenal monitor possible?

I did some tests with my 2 Netbooks (Acer Aspire One ZG5 and Dell Inspiron Mini 910), I connected via VGA connection to an external 17-inch Monitor.

With the Native Video Card among the various resolutions available on the Monitor, I had as maximum value 1280x1024 see screenshot.

With the VESA Video Card on the other hand, in order to get the 1280x1024 resolution I had to set it to GRUB.

If you have a Native Card you will most likely also have "1920x1024" resolution available, I have not tested on a larger Monitor.

For the VESA Video Card, I don't know if this resolution is supported in GRUB, try setting it up by editing the grub.cfg

Hi! I have just clean installed 2.6.
Everything works but graphics are very sluggish and slow on my onboard GMA950. They were snappy and very fast
on the 2.4 version. Even dragging a window takes 1 second to refresh.
Tried VESA and Native modes. The same happens on both. I am using an Intel Atom 945GCLF2 motherboard.

Regards

I don't have this slowdown with AROS One 2.6 on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 Netbook and Dell Inspiron Mini 910 with GMA 950 Video Card, have you updated I installed AROS One 2.6 from new installation?

Have you tried restarting AROS One, it happens to be slower on first start-up!

Yes I did. it happens on every boot. It seems like acceleration is not working as menus also are slow and have
strange blocky shadows on them. I just reverted to 2.4 and it's fine. As soon as I boot 2.6 it happens again, either from
usb image (vhd) or installed on disk. Something changed.

Try going to shell (Amiga+W) and type tasklist. Does the list display immediatelly or is it slow to display?

Hi Deadwood, it displays immediatelly, no slowdown, fast text.
For example, if I close, move or resize a window it only applies after 2 seconds. And Wanderer menus are slow but OWB internal menu is very fast. That's odd.
