I don't have to reboot.  The desktop background just goes black.  I restart the desktop and everything is back to normal.

These images look really good on a large screen.   I know Christian has a large screen.  He may want to see how they look on his desktop.

Some graphic files can be so large that the desktop background goes black right away when selecting the image.  After that, no more backgrounds unless the WPS is restarted.

I will file a bug report as soon as bugtracker can be accessed again.  I have not been able to access it all day.

By the way, it appears that Hobbes Incoming is down too.

Applications / Desktop Backgrounds
« on: 2008.07.09, 19:06:01 »
I noticed something about desktop backgrounds I never noticed before.  A friend of mine gave me a bunch of pictures from his trips.  When I start changing desktop backgrounds to see what background I want to use for the desktop at that moment, eventually, the background goes black.  I have to restart the WPS. 

It depends on the size of the picture before this happens.  PNG's cause this to happen fast.  The WPS must be running out of resources.

I have 3 pictures at the Canadian site.  These are large pictures.

Another scheme based on the Windows 3.1 hotdog scheme.

OK, I found what the problem is.  I tested to see if this is the same problem I have had before and it is.  It must have been related to the unikrnl when I tested it before.  However, at the time, I did not put 2 + 2=4 together.

I have a WIFI and a network card.

The WIFI is a GenMac Wrapper Intel 2200 Wlan.

The network card is an Realtek 8139/8130/810x.

Although the WIFI driver is supposedly supported, installs, and loads with eCS 2 rc4, I have never been able to access the internet wirelessly.

The Realtek card driver has always worked.

With the old os2krnl, it did not matter that both drivers are installed.  With the unikrnl, it does matter.  By removing the GenMac driver, I now can access the internet with the Realtek ethernet card driver.

If I remember correctly, the SMP kernel on a singel CPU system did not have this problem.   In fact, I was tempted to just leave the SMP kernel on my single CPU notebook.

During install, eCS 2 RC5 uses the Dani 1.84 version.  However, the 1.85 version is installed to the system.  Dani's 1.85 will be used totally in RC6.  I found this information in the eCS bugtracker.

People need to investigate the eCS bugtracker.  There is a wealth in information to be found in it.

Why don't you file a bug report on this?

One thing I would like to see is the option of receiving the GA on either a DVD or CDROMs.

Instead of having to deal with 3 disks, I would prefer to deal with one disk.

It's set at 12.5 x 166.  The board has worked fine for years, save for adding memory.

And your friend did buy the correct memory for the board as stated in its manual?

I couldn't find usbdock in the betazone on the eCS site.   Resource manager didn't run from usbcfg.

I brought up LVM.  It found the drive, D3, listed as O: (my last partition is M:).  I tried to follow the instructions here, and give it the name "External", but I don't think it took (and I hope I didn't mess anything up.)

It is in the betazone listed under files in the upper left corner.  However, the betazone only shows all the files found in the beta zone when accessed from the Mensys web site.

I have uploaded the eScheme at the Canadian site.  Just click on the link listed in the previous posting from me for anyone interested.

Please try 104a UNI instead of W4

http://www.ecomstation.org/sidebars/cmd/kernel/files/uni20050811.zip

OK, I finally got back in town and had a chance to test this.  My system does boot up with this kernel and the new OS/2 loader.  However, My network card no longer works and as a result, I cannot access the internet from this partition.

Well, I got further this time.  Last time I could not get past the eCS logo.  I am booting further, however, I am now Exception in module:  JFS  which is a trap D.

Unfortunately I am going out of town for a week and won't have the time to take a picture and upload it here right now.

While waiting on my wife, here it is.

eCS 2 RC4
This is with ACPI 3.09 installed.  ACPI 3.08 did not work either.

Can anyone guess what this eScheme is based on?
