5 Bootscreen only in 16 colors - ID: 1703227

Last Update: Comment added ( nobody )

Details:

Installed XOSL shows its bootscreen in 16 colors (instead of 256 colors).
During the installation all vesa-resolutions were validated by XOSL. So it
should work.
System is: Notebook IBM/Lenovo with AMD/ATI X1400 graphicadapter. Attempts
to work around failed (Bootdisk with other "display.sys"-configuration;
Installing XOSL to another (hidden, logical, primary) partition; Selecting
different resolution in XOSL's setup...). Hopefully the bug is
reproducable.

Date: 2007-07-04 18:11 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO Hi Chrisdedisk, I dnl your file, uninstall XOSL2, install XOSL1.1.5TF. At last, XOSL is back with its pretty look. It works fine on my PC (Mobo MSI ms-7025, graphics card MSI RX1950PROT2D256, 2 HD Maxtor IDE, no SATA). I'm not familiar with german language but it's time to be :)) (I never learnt german at school, it's a pity) but I remember the english one. A trouble, any other video mode than 640x480 can't work. All others hang. No matter, it's really good like that. Thanks a lot. Sincerely yours, Green51
Date: 2007-07-04 07:53 Sender: chrisdedisk Hi green51, since xosl2_admin isn't accessible, I think posting a hint to the download-location is ok: Just google for "iooonic" and you will be glad at downloadz-section, but pay attention: the modified XOSL comes with no warranty, is available in the version 1.1.5 and is translated to German. By the way "TF" means Thinkpad-Fix and is dedicated to systems with the above-mentioned problemes. Sincerely yours, CHRisDeDisk

Date: 2007-07-01 12:00 Sender: chrisdedisk Hi green51, finally, somebody reacts. Well, in the meantime I partially solved the problem by changing the code. Direct access to the ports of the graphicadapter don't work (for example setting/getting colorpalettes), but significant slower interrupt-10h-calls (which are VESA-compatible) cause no problems. If you are interested in that changed XOSL, I would post the weblink here with the permission of admin and maincoder of the XOSL-Project. Sincerely yours, CHRisDeDisk
Date: 2007-07-01 07:10 Sender: green51 Same 16 colors ugly bootscreen on this system : mobo MSI ms-7025 w/ 3700+ Graphic Card : MSI RX1950PROT2D256 All VESA resolutions are validated, choosing 800x600 resolution hangs (colored stripes on screen), others resolutions work. With a Asus V9999GT (Nvidia 6800GT) instead of the RX1950, every thing works fine. As I read somewhere, it seems to be an ATI/AMD trouble (recent cards appear to be not totally compliant with VESA specifications). Same trouble with XOSL 1.1.5.
