The next week is dedicated to collection of info about compatible/non-compatible video adapters. Our database contains 117 records only... Major part of the models are not manufactured anymore. Post new reports using the web-form.
Attention! The developers of solutions are interested to know the list of unsupported adapters.
Additional questions:
- Do you have troubles with the latest Panorama VESA (2007/11/20)?
(Troubles when switching desktop - fullscreen sessions)
Please post the bug-report, are there new lines in popuplog.os2 or not?
Which programs cause the problems?
- Does Panorama VESA + widescreen activator

(section: Guidelines: Base control elements)
Advices:
You can sell your program only if:
- if you publish the announcement (announcement of new versions). Remember the experience of JUne.
- if you publish the reviews of your program. (successful experience of General Network Utilities).
- Why a developer can't execute a contract? "harddisk is small or not enough memory".
please calculate: it's better to invest 100 dollars into the hardware,
to get the reward for your project 1000 dollars.

Current version of ACPI: 3.11
It's time to make the last fixes to suspend-resume.
Please setup your PC (read apm docs),
post the results to the bug-tracker
What to test:
- óonfirm that suspend/resume works 100% for Uni and SMP + /PIC
- Test suspend/resume on multi-core notebooks and barebones
- Check the stories of success from other testers:
http://ecomstation.ru/projects/acpitools/?action=acpi-apm-suspend-resume-stack
Attention: write to the title of ticket: Suspend/resume %model of notebook%
Every user has different model of PC and notebook,
so every computer requires additional efforts.
Subscribe to eComStation Software Subscription and join the testing,
if you don't post a report about your model of PC, eComStation will not support it.

Effective immediately, Serenity Systems International will be distributing
a GA version of OpenOffice.org 2.4 to all users who ordered the Support
Agreement for OpenOffice.org product. This version has been compiled to run
on IBM OS/2 and eComStation as a native application. This release replaces
OpenOffice.org version 2.0.4.
It is available to anyone with a current OpenOffice.org Support Agreement
for eComStation and OS/2, via their download-area at the Mensys Online
Shop. http://www.mensys.net/login/

- Support for mouse wheel.
- Support for WPS integration via seperate package (OOoWPS101.WPI)
- FT2: this release supports the FreeType2 font engine for better text rendering.
- NLS: multiple NLS versions can be installed, you can change the language as
follows: Tools -> Options -> Language settings -> User Interface. The
following languages are available: English, German, Italian, French,
Spanish and Dutch.

current document, but only ThunderBird is supported. WEB: the default
browser will be used for opening web pages. To enable these features, the
Internet Application Integration tool must be installed and configured for
your browser.
A more complete list of changes in this version of OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 can
be found at: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.4.0.html
Requirements
- At least one language pack is required to complete installation.
- UniClip is required to complete installation.
- LibC 0.6.3 is required to complete installation.

use it alongside OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 and OpenOffice.org 2.0.4, however it
may be advisable to remove previous 2.4 profiles from your home directory.
- installation should preferably be done on a JFS volume, as it may run
slow otherwise. The installation target volume must support long filenames.
- installation takes around 400 MB of drivespace.
- this build is based on the 2.4.0 m12 sourcecode of OpenOffice.org.
- For better rendering of the GUI font, it is suggested to install
Workplace Sans TrueType font. This will also visualize the numbering for
the vertical ruler, since the default font, WarpSans, cannot be rotated.
You can download the Workplace Sans font
from the following website
WPS integration package for OpenOffice.org 2.4 for eComStation and OS/2:

Why to use ACPI for eComStation?
You should install ACPI for eComStation to:
Common (Notebooks, servers, barebones):
- to initialize PC (the devices are not initialized on boot without ACPI),
- to use multi-core CPU (Core Duo, AMD X2). Especially, if you want run computer in APIC mode,
- device drivers for eComStation depend on ACPI,
- ACPI provides information about the computer to drivers,
applications and system information utilities.
Notebook, barebone:
- to control power management (suspend/resume/poweroff)
- to reduce power consumption
For developer:
- The main purpose of the driver is to provide ACPI interface to applied developers.
ACPI 3.11 is released, download new version from BETAZONE,
please pay attention to node resources:
A) Check your system (util\acpi-test.cmd) if PC doesn't boot with ACPI driver.
B) Listings of tested hardware:
C) Discussing How to boot eComStation on PC with AMD-chipset if ACPI is enabled
(the behavior of PC changes, eComStation is not ready for this behavior)
forum
D) Team of ACPI developers
E) Bug-tracker,
The rules changed:

eCo Labs is a fund to attract new developers to eComStation. We are trying
to share the income with standalone developers; stimulate the development
of new PM-controls and libraries. Moreover, we are going update the portal
for developers and enrich it with links and libraries.
To improve quality of eCo Software products, to accumulate templates for
new software we published more than 30 tasks.

Based on the significant fixes for HDA that have been checked in recently (See svn), I've been inspired to fix SB Live! support in the Uniaud 1.9.x branch.
This release also included an updated uniaud16.sys based on fixes that have been checked in since Uniaud 1.1.4RC6.
All users of uniaud are encouraged to unzip this build over their existing setup and see if there are any regressions, as going forward, this is the codebase that will be used for Uniaud 2.0.
For new users, install the latest install package for Uniaud 1.1.4 first, then replace uniaud16.sys and uniaud32.sys with the ones in the links below.
Download links:
- Release version: http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.8.zip
- Debug version: http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.8-debug.zip
- grab log: copy alsahlp$ x:\whereever\logfile
