Thanks for report.
Attached is an updated intel.hidd to test for you and all that want to test.
Try first 1920x1080 resolution that is the native for your panel and don't need scaling, than the other that need a scaling in hardware if it scaling correctly fullscreen.

@sonountaleban could you specify how you do the tests? maybe you do something wrong and log isn't saved? Also test with latest intel.hidd that i had attached here.


I've tried several times, putting the USB pendrive at boot time, it stucks with black/grey screen I think almost forever. When the out.log is generated, it's unreadable. If I boot the ISO without that pendrive inserted, it seems fine, but not very stable. For example the list view of ScreenMode is corrupted as soon I scroll it. By the way, the ISO is burned in a CD, I can't replace that file because I don't have a pendrive big enough to contain that ISO file.

Uhmm maybe some incompatibility with USB ports and USB pendrive. If you have an external HD/SSD could you try to make a small partition Fat32 there and retry.
Thanks for all your tests.

If you saved the Intel resolution, start AROS in VESA mode or Safe Mode and save the resolution; it should start up when you reboot.

Yes well said @AMIGASYSTEM never "save" when you do this test, but instead press "USE" button. So nothing is saved as a Prefs and next reboot system could use working resolution.

Ok, tried with an older pendrive (FAT16...) and it worked better, got a log finally.
However still it can't change resolution as previous my tests.
Unfortunately I don't have an external HD and other means so that I can replace the driver.

Ok thanks
This pendrive is full?
The driver (intel.hidd) to replace is this on the pendrive that you used to make the second part of booting (loading the AROS Wanderer). Remember you use a CD to boot (and you can't update the files on CD) but on the pendrive you should need to copy the files from the CD and there you could delete the old intel.hidd file and replace with the new to test.

Second part of booting? My pendrive is just 16 MB... not sure why I need to copy the same files of the ISO to the pendrive and anyway I don't have a big enough one, sorry.

I press "Use" button in ScreenMode, I think it doesn't make sense press "save" when I boot with a CD-RW for obvious reasons.

Yes second part of booting. If you read my first post i said we need two pendrives, one for Booting from BIOS (and you used a CD..ok) and a second one to copy over all the files from the first one (on your case the CD) to be enable to load Aros/Wanderer when run this second stage.
Oh...now that i think...maybe using a CD will boot anyway to Wanderer? Don't know never used a CD to test.

But now for an updated test you need a second pendrive (those with 16MB is not enough (minimum of 256/300 MB needed)

I may have fixed the scrolling of text, please test it. On my laptop it seems fixed.

Why are you running AROS from a CD? Question: How did you install the ISO on the USB flash drive?

Yes, booting from CD it loads Wanderer as usual. And it saves on my DATA pendrive that log file. I'm afraid, as I already said I don't have other ways apart burning a CD to test this.

Why won't you answer my questions? I asked how you create Pandive Live.

I'm using my Ubuntu installation to burn the ISO and format the USB pendrive.

Yeah, but with what tool? You can't burn or copy an AROS ISO using software.

If you want to create an AROS Live USB properly, there's only one way to do it: boot the ISO on a virtual machine and install AROS on the USB drive, just like you would when installing it on a hard drive!

Well it works the same without using a virtual machine. I prepare all my boot ISO pendrive with Linux and format fat32 the other with Linux so it's perfectly fine usung it. The only problem of @sonountaleban is the missing of another pendrive to test latest intel.hidd driver that i posted.
If you want i could upload a new ISO with latest driver, but it's a pity to use all the time a new CD to burn it. Plus i don't be sure that the Live CD don't interfere with the tests.
I i was him i could buy an (even) 2 small pendrives so he could finally test without CD.

No worries, I said previously I burn a CD-RW, so I'm not wasting CDs... Smile
Yes, please, if you put a link here where I can download the latest ISO it would be great.
I think if you don't do write operations but the out.log file, it shouldn't interfere, and however more or less I'm getting the same symptoms experienced by @AMIGASYSTEM , so probably if it doesn't work on his machine which has a CPU ahead one generation, unlikely it will work on mine.

OK new rebuilt of ISO image (changes are only on intel.hidd) so others could download only this .hidd driver that i attach here (intel_test4.hidd.zip) and substitute under Devs/Drivers

Iso to download
https://fromsmash.com/aros_x86_64_INTELHD_b

Changes are for Haswell CPU/GPU but could benefit also SandyBridge...please test and report.

A bit better, no longer corrupted list in ScreenMode, but still no luck with 1920x1080x24 (and 16 bpp) modes. If I select 24 bits I see a grey screen, otherwise the out of sync black/blue screen. By the way on TV there is no switch to 16:9, the video signal is always stuck on 4:3 ratio.

I don't know if USB drives created using a Linux program generate a proper USB bootloader that's the same as the one in a native AROS installation on USB devices.

Rufus can also write an ISO to a USB drive, but it's not a proper installation—I've encountered strange errors several times.

When you boot your ISO from VMware, it asks you to insert a DATA volume!

Solve it with a Assign DATA: RAM: >nil:

When I run Test4 at a resolution of 1920, I always get a blank screen. I'm attaching the log.
