| I'm not sure if I understand all the details here but why all this talk about P96 and CGFX? I thought new drivers had to be made from "scratch" to suit the new hardware directly? What if someone wants to make a game or a demo that depends on the new and improved video/resolution modes? What if these people want their work independent of the Operating System? Is this only possible to do if one uses the old video/resolution modes? Isn't there a huge difference between "native" support and "OS" support?

I hope it's not too early to ask this question but is it planned a AmigaOS 3.x file monitor for 24 Bits screen (S.AGA)?
|
Please see above - truecolor is not possible with a native monitor driver, but requires patching Gfx, i.e. a P96 driver. Unfortunately, the copyright situation is rather complicated here as well.
|
Implementing something P96 compatible with sources or inspiration from AROS should be doable though, without any copyright problems.

New drivers had been made to fit the needs for 8 plane planar access. No support for chunky for the reasons already mentioned, no support for truecolor for this very reason.So long,

I think AROS is already CGX 3 compatible, as are P96 and CGX 4. Where they diverge is on hardware overlays, which aren't supported in SuperAGA at this point anyway. (Maybe sometime in the future.)

Nun, ganz einfach: Nimm eine der Software-Pakete aus dem Aminet, in der mein Name steht. Meine email-Addresse dort funktioniert immer noch: thor at math dot tu-berlin dot de (-:Grüße aus Rapid City, Thomas
