Could you give a list of what you think you have that isn't compatible.
Ps: In a new topic (without the "Linsux" parts).

maybe if you'd just get a decent (read: non shitty) vid card, things would be better

So my video card is shit now.

Why?

Because Linux doesn't support it!

Bullshit!

My graphics card is not shit, it's perfect under XP, and shit under Linux!

Why?

Because the Linux driver is shit.

I'm not saying that it's top of the range or anything, it's good enough for most things, but it certainly isn't shit!

You've got an Ati videocard? In that case, yes, it is shit, sorry man

Aloone_Jonez · « **Reply #34 on:** 19 July 2004, 01:25 »

It's not an ATI card, it's a S3 ProSavage DDB.

S3 is even worse than ATI.

Stop pretending and get yourself a non-shitty vid card! Your life will be better for it. You can then run those animations in XP that you insist "slow it the fuck down".

A GeForce 2 is only $ 20 or something, and it's much better for your Linux.
You could even pick up a 3dfx for $2. The company is dead, but they had really good Linux drivers.

the main point is, if it is a shitty driver, why is this?

why?

ask yourself why before reading my answer below.

think about it...

ok, now here's why, let's see if you got the same conclusion as me. hardware is brough to market as follows:

1. Hardware manufacturer makes a bit of hardware
2. hardware manufacturer pays some people to write drivers and huge bloatware software GUI and crap for their bit of hardware. They usually only want software for the most used system (win*) and for connosieurs, maybe the second most used (macOS*).
3. product gets released with software for win* and if yr very lucky macOS*.
4. users of Linux, FreeBSD et cetera might buy this kit, and some of them MIGHT spend some of their free time writing drivers which allow them to use some of the functions of the erratic bit. somebody might find that an existing driver can be used/modified to make the bit work partially or fully.
5. Windows users moan about how crap the linux drivers are for the bit they paid their hard scrimped dosh for.

now let me ask you, how many of those windows users are writing their own drivers? how many people took how long to come up with the windows software in the first place? given that there's an incentive for non-win* users to not buy this bit anyway, don't you think it's pretty much a wonder drivers get written for this win*-only bit of hardware anyway? i put it to you that if manufacturers put the same effort into making lin* and *bsd software as for win* software then your complaints would be over before they had begun.

now back on topic, the ASM OS seems to have moved to http://www.hostileencounter.com/os_main.html now, i am going to try it out again.

why not write it for the ipod or gameboy. an os that size would be perfect as the hardware won't change much and i think an os for the gameboy would really give an old hand held some life again.

An OS for gameboy ... what the fuck for ? :confused:

Would be much more useful. Why would we run an ASM OS anyway? Until it has a webbrowser and core apps.

Flying Chair is at least usable now it has those core apps, but still not complete.

Keep coding though.
