I plan to donate, but only after TW reaches a level of stability that means I can actually use it (which seems tantilisingly close now).

Like Chris I plan on donating when it becomes usable. The current version just slows down my system and other applications too much to make everyday use of TW. My pointer even gets jerky or freezes while TW is loading.

There was a speed increase in one of the versions of FF. It will certainly help with the speed issue.


IIRC, the later versions also used significantly less memory than 4.0.1

Plus, I finally want to use AdBlock again :)
Seriously, if you do want to contact me write me a mail. You're more likely to get a reply then.

"The current version just slows down my system and other applications too much to make everyday use of TW. My pointer even gets jerky or freezes while TW is loading."

Jerky pointer is "too easy" to do on AOS4.

That reminded me that I'm not fully aware how I set application priorities on AOS4.

(I only remmber the executive way.)

Perhaps also other people need memory refresh on that?

Is it via icon/tooltypes/? ?

You can but you shouldn't touch it. This is OS4 scheduler to take care of that, not the user.

For debugging purpose you can use SysMon to change a task priority.

I think it's the Amiga way to give user the control to finetune the OS behaviour unlike on any other OS.

OS can not know how I prefer running programs. Some apps I want to be realtime and some I prefer to run in the background when there is idle CPU time. And sometimes I might want to set DVD playback to be in realtime, sometimes not. And I do not want to manually reset everything after reboot, like on most other OSs.

Anyway, found it:
"The reserved Tool Types are TOOLPRI=n (sets the Exec task priority at which Workbench will start the application)"
Starting to like the wiki!

(and for dos guys & gals: http://amiga.sourceforge.net/amigadev ... up=AmigaDOS&action=Search)

IIRC RAWBInfo has a little gadget which shows/sets this.

Don't mess with AmigaOS Task/Process priorities. Leave that to the experts please.

I do not touch OS internal doings. Just third party apps and programs.

Will the hardware acceleration support older machines with older radeon graphics cards like 9250? Please forgive my ignorance will galium only support hd cards or will it support older cards also?

While we wait ...
interesting that also IBM seems to invest in Gallium3D... (or something).
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI5OTM
"IBM's Porting Gallium3D LLVMpipe To PowerPC"

(more interesting reads, perhaps)

(&dreaming of GPU computing)

@Fairdikem

IIRC, 9250 is R200 based and Gallium3D supports R300 forward.
"Gallium3D additionally requires a level of shader support that is not available on older cards like e.g. ATi r100-r200"

Chip vs card:(Radeon wiki)

That's because the USB HID tasks run a priority 10 which is the same as the partition tasks. Kind of silly to have the USB HID tasks run at pri 10 when input.device runs at pri 20.

Who made *that* decission and why?!?!?
