OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Hardware
Video memory cannot be assigned to 32-bit address!
Neil Waldhauer:
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X13 gen 2, and while I didn't get it to run ArcaOS, I was curious if it could be done.
It can't. (see attachment) Actually, it can. See correction below.

Hello and happy new Year!
it works for me with a x13 G4 (AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U with Radeon 780M). 1.4 Gb Ram is accessible. Unfortunately I dont get any USB Ethernet Adapter running (Moschip, ASIX). Both worked on previos ArcaOS installations on a different Computer. They are recognized but dont get an IP assigned, Static IP works but doesn't get connection to the router.
David McKenna:
Mo,
The NIC driver needs to be located after certain other drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file, and gives that exact symptom if it is not. Run 'testlog generic' from a command line and in the file created scroll down to the 'Config.sys' section and see if it lists any errors.
Regards,
Neil Waldhauer:
I need to correct my previous post. I changed the BIOS setting for video RAM from 512 MB to 256 MB, and ArcaOS can now run on the computer. The latest MultiMac32-E1000B driver supports the Ethernet port.
A Lenovo adapter is required to connect an Ethernet cable because the laptop is too thin to support a normal Ethernet connection.
Dave Yeo:
That's good as I"m sure I did hear of some where the frame buffer couldn't be put in low memory.
How much ram is accessible? mem /v
