New SVGA drivers for AROS
The developments on the alternative operating system project AROS had been driven hard in the last weeks by Matt Parsons.
The current beta release of AROS contains now new SVGA drivers. 16-bit and 32-bit screen resolutions (HiColor and TrueColor) are now possible. Problems are still caused by the graphics card family ATI-Radeon but these are said to be fixed soon.
Furthermore are a new CD-ROM and a new floppy version of AROS online that contain the new SVGA drivers. The usage of the CD-ROM version is explicitly recommended.
The developers point to the fact that the screenmode can be chosen at the beginning of the boot procedure. If in doubt you should choose 640*480*16. There's still an error occurring with the mouse pointer that is surrounded by a black box and that cannot reach all screen areas. The fixing of this error is also in the works.
