Preview of 0.3.1
Moderator: Moderator Team
Works for me
I have it working fine on VMware (mustn't be broken anymore). not exactly stable and still has most of its bugs but I can see some improvements and I'm sure there are lots I can't see.
thanks for the info. I figured it was some problem with the debugging stuff that gets turned off in ROS_LEAN_AND_MEAN, so I compiled it using default settings (while turning off all debugging in config.rbuild by setting "KDBG", "DBG" and "GDB" to '0') and added -fomit-frame-pointer to the optimizations and it failed just as with ROS_LEAN_AND_MEAN so I guess there's some problem with omitting the frame pointer even though all debugging should be disabled?Z98 wrote:Asked around on IRC and there may be hidden bugs related to removing debugging symbols. This may or may not apply to ROS_LEAN_AND_MEAN, but it would explain problems booting.

.. If you do test this build, feel free to mention what programs don't install/run here. ..
But as mentioned in

I miss a fullfeatured way to send feedback.
Cheers, Peter.

Re: Prerelease of ReactOS 0.3.1 available
Just reporting ...
On the 3. stage ReactOS tries to identify and install drivers - on this system ReactOS does find NOTHING matching the drivers' hardware ..
On Dell GX 260 the ReactOS Explorer does not see Floppy or CDROM.

Probably because VESA driver is in use under LiveCD ?
=> on installation with BootCD I have to select VGA-driver, VESA driver does not work
Is there a possibility to deactivate VESA driver on LiveCD rel ?
you graphice card isOn Dell GX 260 0.3.1 prerelease LiveCD rel does not work.
Graphics processor: Intel 845G/GL (integrated)
I am reading at http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-004672.htm
"The Intel® Extreme Graphics controllers support VBE 1.2, 2.0 and 3.0. Both linear and banked framebuffer modes are supported"
It mean it does not support real framebuffer it need todo a bankswitch
after each 32kb or 64kb or 128kb depns how u mainboard bios are config
and at http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-004045.htm
I reading the chip does not support framebufer only banked switch and
that is voltations agains 2.0 spec and higher.
Then we start looking at there compatible list for games
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/i ... 020666.htm
as we can see allot games does not working with this chip as well.
I will never use a intel graphice chip as long I live in my own computer.
they are so bad.
No question - this graphic chip is not for gamers.GreatLord wrote:you graphice card isOn Dell GX 260 0.3.1 prerelease LiveCD rel does not work.

But Your personal opinion to badly designed hardware doesn't help me - my main usage of PCs is running music software (Cubase, Emagic Logic, Samplitude, Wavelab, VST Plugins, ...), OpenOffice and Borland Delphi. I don't need fast gaming graphics cards. I much more need at least 2 (slow) video screens parallel !
So again, how can I run ReactOS LiveCD with VGA driver instead of miniport vbemp.sys VESA driver ?
Why does ReactOS make no use of hardware detection in 1st stage and preselect VGA if stuff like Intel 845G/GL is detected ?
Thanks, Peter.
The problem is we do not detect what type of graphice card.
we do not use pnp for our own graphice card we doing a force install of it.
But does it exists a inf file of a driver with pnp on we are using it instead.
like we do with vmware own driver.
if u which I can guide u how to make vga drv for livecd if u known how to compile reactos it self.

- No more "3 Minutes waittime 'til surface comes up"
- but serial Debug Output shows "ààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààà"
instead of senseful output (why that?)
