I'll think about whether to get it or not

Ciao

I just tried my ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 board with D02, and native graphics boot gets stuck on a black screen. This board only has VGA output.

PCITool gives this as product name: C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a]

I only have one laptop and NVidi card works on it with 3D acceleration. On the other hand it does not work on @AMIGASYSTEM's laptop. It does work on Neil's laptop. So so far it is 2-1.

But does Gallium work on laptops with a supported card? Do you have any experience with this because I’d like to buy a new one, I mean a used one.

I've tried all the possible settings but the glitches are still there, however they concern only the Linux version, not AROS which looks absolutely fine.

I made a couple of screenshots, 1024x768 as window size at the highest details. Quite strange that on Linux is much slower than on AROS, on the latter I'm still able to play it in somewhat way even using 1920x1080 full screen. What framerate do you guys have?

The output of "user error" will keep printing in the CON: unless you register streams to NIL. What was solved in D01 is that this output was causing a crash.

With regards to ingame glitches you need to disable shadows. Other settigs can be kept at high quality.

I'm getting the same issues on my config, also the mouse is sludging on menu screens.

Interesting thing: I have the game installed in my Lubuntu 24 partition as well - dhewm3 version, I tried the original from Steam which I bought in the past decade but it doesn't run because I'm using the latest Nouveau driver and can't install the original Nvidia (my GTX 560 Ti is too old for the modern kernels, too). I found the AROS version is better, faster (50-100%) and without rendering glitches as instead I'm seeing on Linux. Initially I thought it was caused by the bad gfx card (fortunately I paid it very few pounds), but it seems Nouveau drivers aren't very good actually...
I'll post some screenshots later.

Glad to hear interest in AROS.

This DOOM3 crash sounds like something that is already solved in D01.

Currently running teh demos at the Derby show (quite a bit of interest in ARO btw) but just had a crash in Doom3:

Mesa: User error: 0x501 in glScissor.

As mentioned this is on the ore-DO1 distribution.

Cheers,

Observation on 2D acceleration; with 32 bit on my i7 3.5 Hz + gf 8400 I needed to set quite a high cache to get smooth DVD vob file playback, but on 64 bit, i7 again + GTX970 no chache at all is needed for fully smooth playback, anf that's with the GLexcess demo and AB3D running at the same time . Now I just need to work out how to install Doom3 demo packs...

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. the reason I remove the cache setting (this is running from CLI) is I was getting a cache thread error on quitting or changing files, but I'll look into if that's reprodceable after this weekend's show.

No, if you copied the folder then that's all that was needed.

I copied the entire contents of the NVidia-49.7 folder to the same locations on AROS One.
Did I do something wrong? Do I absolutely have to use a 3.x USB flash drive?

Hmm, did you install firmware files when testing 850M? They are not on the ISO and need to be installed separatelly.

HP ENVY 15 GeForce GTX 850M with your build (I only added noacpi)—I have “cat's eyes”; it only boots in 3 VESA mode.

With the ACER Aspire 5920, I tried running Sashimi with some difficulty (even the shell freezes the system after a few commands), but unfortunately, Sashimi doesn't have time to print anything.

Ok, so at least some progress. Try running sashimi first and then see it it prints out anything before freezing when starting another application.

Did you try your second laptop? The one with 830M?

@deadwood
I tested it on my old ACER Aspire 5920 with an Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB graphics card. Now, with the new NVIDIA AROS One 64-bit v11 drivers, it boots in native mode (I only added noacpi), but as soon as I run an application or change the screen mode, everything freezes.

Hello and welcome,

In the NVidia-49.7.zip in the Devs directory you have Firmware directory with NVidia subdirectory. Copy

Devs/Firmware/NVidia to SYSevs/Firmware/

Additionally you need to copy the contents of Libs subdirectory in the zip file to SYS:Libs overwritting existing libraries.

What is your bases system? Is it AROS One 1.3?

Hi. 1st post here, as i just registered to get some help with driver installation...

So i've copied following files from NVidia-49.7 arc :

Devs/Drivers/nouveau.hidd to sys:Devs/Drivers/
Devs/Monitors/Nvidia + icon to sys:Devs/Monitors/

now... i have gtx960 4gb VRAM in my pc so gm206, but my question is - what shall i copy next and where it should be placed ?

My current iso "Devs/Firmware/" contains :
HermesI and HermesII files

How do I make it use of my gtx960 ?

Thanks

Thanks got to @retrofaza for compiling this promo video

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. On the motherboard - glad it works - it's a sister-board to one of the recommended ones, so it will be helpful with testing the upcoming release.

On the driver itself: it's not written from scratch, that would be way too compilated. It's a port of nouveau open source driver. Along with the driver itself I ported pieces of supporting architecture so now porting the IntelHD open source driver should be easier. There is a person who showed some initial interested in porting the IntelHD driver but we have to wait and see if that comes to fruition.
