During the fall we released updates of: Evolutionary Sprint plan, ACPI subsystem, Panorama video drivers, General Network Utilities, Firewall ports setup, USB Dock, UNIAUD.
0. Evolutionary Sprint 2007/11 (aka ESWay)
ESWay is published as article (ESWay it's a plan, forecast of future eComStation development)
- Evolutionary = don't migrate to other platform
- Sprint = 1-2 years to improve situation (starting from fall 2006)
1. ACPI sub-system
Current version: 3.05, BETAZONE
We published ACPI documentation at ACPI homepage
We have improved some global critical things during 2007 (this tasks required global improvements in ACPI.PSD)
- mutexes support (to delimit the access to ACPI variables, ACPI devices)
- PCI Scan, moved from snooper to .psd, improved.
- suspend support for SMP computers (computers with VIA chipset are supported; Lenovo T60 is supported)
- support of VIA chipset
- support of new Danis IDE driver
moreover,
- updated Intel ACPI machine several times
- every user has own model of computer. we spend time to support users and investigate every model of PC
- every chipset has own specific problems. the research required some monthes
- users have old drivers - it's not easy to make them upgrade device drivers to versions ready for ACPI
- OEMHLP$ driver is embedded to OS/2 kernel. it was replaced (in other words, the kernel of eCS is updated)
2. Video drivers
Panorama VESA is updated (20071120)
- Panorama VESA works on old processors which do not have MTRR (useful for mini-notebooks).
- Fix for "computer hangs after switch to fullscreen text mode"
- Moreover, updated WPS Setup, updated FAQ
3. Internet utilities
4. USB stack and applications
USB Dock was updated during the fall -- BETAZONE
5. Audio-drivers
6. eCo Software support service
The hardware database contains more than 1300 reports of supported hardware.
You can post new reports or add notes. Now gathering reports about mini-notebooks (sub-notebooks)
