Hi guys,
   It looks like Panorama VESA driver which shipped with ECS 2.0 GA does not work with VBOX 3.20 (latest version). I had to go back to SNAP. Symptoms are: no video updates (black screen) or going from full screen to windowed mode, there's a still image of the desktop.

   Anyone else seen this problem? VBOX is running on MacOSX snow leopard.

Thanks!

Does anyone who has a current non-expired Software Subscription Service have the GA? My SSS is not expired and still don't have any download links yet  :(

Although I think it is a good idea, I don't think Mensys has the resources to pull this off. The only player that can do this is IBM.

Just my 2 cents: we really need Java. (and working Flash).

On the other machine, it is set so low because I also have a pretty large HPFS386 cache and didnt want to eat up the low memory arena.

Will look for the doc you indicate and see if I can learn something from it.

Thanks,
Rob

Man, I really, really hope that version 3 of ecomstation will actually fix the low memory area problem. So many modern apps are using this space that we need a solution.

This announcement is quite sudden and unexpected ???

Thanks for all the great work over the years!

I'm sorry pasha, I cannot understand what you are saying. Can some one explain it to a non-tech guy like me what pasha fixed.

Ah the usual confusion about why it is called an Xserver rather than Xclient. The logic is actually correct: The drawing resources are on our PC, i.e. screen, colours etc. The remote programme running on a UNIX box (which is the client) requests painting resources on our local PC (i.e. a server giving resources) and so the naming is, in fact, correct. :)

Anyhow, the reason for having an up to date Xserver is so that we can connect to other boxes (usually UNIX) remotely and work with programmes which are only available on the UNIX boxes (like supercomputer programmes :-) ).

Perhaps somebody who's good at porting stuff or wanna try to port stuff should try to compile it since Paul has newly compiled gcc.

I think the best bet is to port the latest version of XFree86 since it is open source. But who can do this?

I think HOBLink would be up to date if there was even a tiny demand for it.
If you can find 10 paying customers, it would be worth it to approach them.

Well, I'm willing to pay up to $100 for it. So 10 guys is only $1000. I have my doubts that HOBlink will be interested in updating their xserver for $1000.

And it's one of those programmes which should be updated to OS/2.

This is another programme to be added to my essentials list (which includes JAVA btw)

Good to hear that Java is being looked at. It's really necessary for OS/2!
