ohh.. I wanted to return to the off-topic.

I quickly configured a $9,485,76 Thinkpad W520
No extra warranty, no extra software. Just all the hardware I can include ;)

Hi

I'm running eComStation 2.1 on the Intel DH55TC (which is based on the Intel H55 Express Chipset) with an Intel i5 Processor and works fine.

My short term hopes are on the Mensys version of SNAP.

There is the activator for ATI and Intel. I had used the Intel one without any issue.

I wonder if there is something that can help me to have basic widescreen resolution on Nvidia card. I have eCs 2.1 on a machine that has a Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 and I can not have 1920x1080 resolution it supports.

That also makes me wonder what about the HDMI audio output that this kind of card have. Anybody has experience trying to make them work?

Reference from slashdot.org

An anonymous reader writes "AMD has publicly released the open-source code to the Radeon HD 7000 series 'Southern Islands' graphics cards for Linux users. This allows users of AMD's latest-generation of Radeon graphics cards to use the open-source Linux driver rather than Catalyst, plus there's also early support for AMD's next-generation Fusion APUs."

Also

"This code drop comes just one day after Intel began publishing its Haswell graphics code."

thanks for the warning eirik.

I assumed that only file system driver were dangerous, but I never thought a network driver can corrupt a partition. (that's my empiric knowledge talking)

Did you get any reference for someone else having the same issue? or do you think also it may be the intel driver combined with something specific of your configuration?

Hi WarpWorld

I haven't hear of that law, and the link that it reference seems to be broken.

As far as "the all mighty" wikipedia says ;)
"Therefore, sharing of such software is usually considered copyright infringement, though in practice copyright holders rarely enforce their abandonware copyrights."

I wish this could change on the future.

Thank you very much for sharing.

I used to have that kind of crashed with firefox 8.0.1
here it is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJXug6SiltI

I had been trying it for a while setting 'gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled' to False and the browser it is not crashing on the same sourceforge site I was having that problem.

Good workarround !!! Thanks again for letting us know.

2) To support those systems that do not have any other option (apparently, there are already a few of them).

We are the kind of users that like to have the "business class" laptops and that usually came with the AHCI/compatibility on the BIOS. But there is a lot of laptops that do not have that option. I used to have the issue that I was not able to run eCS (before mensys released the driver) on a HP Pavilion dv series. The issue is that is seems that laptops are going that way, to have always enable the AHCI mode and no on/off switch.

That's why I found this driver very important, and since it is open source (GNU GPL) it is very interesting too since the derivative work most be always open source too.

thanks melf. I had never tried benchmarking.

I will get it from hobbes and see if it gives some interesting data.

On the other hand I had another question.

What would be a good test that can be done under eCS to show some results of the HDD performance to compare it with AHCI enabled not enabled.

Is it possible to test if there is any improvement using or not AHCI ?

Be aware, that there is a bogus version 1.4 floating around, and it doesn't work very well.

Let's remember that the OS2AHCI driver is open source under the GNU GPL V2 license. Which it means it can be compiled by everybody, and that any derivative work of the source code must be release under the same open source license. (Mensys comply with that license and published the source code here http://svn.ecomstation.nl/ahci )

I also used the OS2AHCI community version at hobbes os2ahci_v0-1-4.zip (2011/09/16) and worked very good for me.

Regards.
